Aftermath (Narrative)
Selina stared into the mirror, looking at the butterfly stips that closed the bloody gash across her cheek. Tears filled her eyes and she sank down onto the floor in the bathroom of her apartment.
Jack had been right. He’d enjoyed every moment of their fight. And she’d given him quite a few scratches with her nails. But the pain that she inflicted hadn’t stopped the madman.
She knew she was lucky to be alive at that very moment. Lucky that all he’d done was to tie her up and take pictures of her with her mask off. She had been in the asylum for what seemed like years, but in fact, it had only been a few hours.
And he laughed the entire time she pleaded with him to let her go.
Finally he cut her cheek open with a jagged knife, leaving a wound that would not heal well. He’d told her that it was something to remember him by.
Jack had thrown her into a car and from there; he unceremoniously dumped her in a back alley.
Fortunately for her, it had been close to her apartment.
Selina wasn’t sure why he’d left her alive, but she could take a guess. It was all to hurt Batman.
One of the cats interrupted her dark thoughts, rubbing her body up against Selina. Selina smiled through her tears, petting the demanding cat. She was glad to have the company right now.
She knew that she would be all right. There would be a scar, but she still had her life.
