~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SALTWATER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rose started to wake up to the rhythmatic beeping coming from the space next to her. When she opened her eyes she was met with a bright light, and instantly closed her eyes again. After a couple of minutes she reopened her eyes, and let them adjust to the new surroundings.

She started looking around and noticed that she wasn't in her badroom like she originally thought. Instead Rose was in what she guessed to be a hospital room.

When she looked to her left she saw a heart monitor, a window, and other medical equipment.

Rose's POV

As I looked around I noticed three chairs on the other side of the room near the door. I took off the covers that were draped over me and walked towards the window. As I got closer to the window my reflection started to appear.

As I studied my appearance I noticed some gauze around my neck. I also noted the bandages that wrapped around my chest, legs, and stomach.

'How did I get here?'. As I continued to study my reflection I hear the door open and someone walk in. I turned around and was met with the face of my best friend, Maria.

"Oh my Purple giraffe!!! You're finally awake!" Maria said as she ran up and hugged me. As she wrapped her arms around me I winced. She must have noticed because she immediately let go and said sorry.

"You should lie back down. I have to go get your parents. They've been worried sick" She rambled on as she guided me back to my bed. I tried to ask her how long I had been out, but I couldn't no matter how much I tried. She noticed me struggling and asked what was wrong. I looked around and found a paper and pen. I picked them up and started writing.
1) how long have I been out?
2) why can't I speak?

"Ok I can answer the first question, but not the second one. Is that ok?" She asked. I nodded. "You were in a comma for about five days" she answered. My eyes widened and i wrote something else down.
Can you please go get my parents?
"Yes I can get your parents, but only if you lay back down". I did as told and got under the covers that were on the bed.

As I sat there I tried to remember what had happened and why I was here. All of a sudden images flashed through my mind.

Flashback.

"Hey dad i'm gonna go take a walk through the park. I'll be back soon" Rose yelled out to her adoptive father, Simon. "ok sweetie. Be careful!!!" He yelled back to her. As she walked to the park she started to feel like someone was watching her. She turned a corner and was hit with a heavy object on the back of the head knocking her out.

A woman stepped out of the shadows dragging a mallet. She stood over Rose and heaved her onto her shoulders. The woman wore a black long sleeved top and a pair of half black, half red leggings. She also wore a black and white mask. (Picture at the top^^^^).

Rose woke up in an unfamiliar room. She noticed that she was tied to a chair and her usually long hair was now cut very messily right bellow her ears. As Rose started to look around she heard a somewhat familiar voice. "Oh look. My little kitten is up!" The voice said.

Once Rose heard this her eyes went wide. 'No. No. It couldn't be her. Could it?' She thought. The masked woman stepped out of the shadows and removed her mask. "Hello, daughter" her mother, Vivian, said.

"How is this possible?! I thought you were in prison!" Rose said fear evident in her voice. "I have my ways" said Vivian. "Now back to business. You ratted me out AND ran away. You need to be punished" Rose's mom said with a smirk as she pulled out a dagger.

She started to carve out a word into Rose's chest as Rose tried not to scream out in pain. Eventually the pain overwhelmed her and she let out a blood curdling scream as her mom finished the fith letter in the seven letter word.

When Vivian finished she stepped back to admire her work. Rose was breathing heavily while the bloody word "MISTAKE" was cut into her chest. Vivian left the room and came back with a cart full of knifes that she was planning to try out. The next eight hours were filled with screams and torture.

(You see, Rose's dad left when she turned two so when Rose was around five her mother, Vivian, started training her in combat and acrobatics. At the age of seven Rose became Vivian's apprentice. For Vivian had become the murderous, masked villainness Crimson. Whenever Rose would mess up or go against orders Crimson would beat her. Rose finally escaped when she got the confidence to call the police. Rose was placed in a orphanage while Vivian got put in prison for life. About three months later she was adopted by her fathers.)

After eight hours Vivian started to get bored. So she decided to find a new victim. She slit Rose's throat and left. Rose finally passed out but not before she heard sirens.

End flashback.

Still Rose's POV

My memories hit me like a truck and I suddenly had a horrible headache. 'Was that real?' I thought. A couple of minutes later Maria came in with my dads and a doctor.

The doctor walked over to me and introduced herself to be Dr. May. She asked me if i remember anything. I nodded my head and started to write down what I remembered on the paper I had. I handed the paper to her and she read it.

She handed the paper back to me. "can you speak?" She asked. I shook my head no and mouthed the question 'why'. "It's because of the cut on your throat. The knife went through your vocal cords. You can still communicate through sign language or writing though" Dr. May answered. Maria had left with her mother after Dr. May entered.

Dr. May left after that to get new badges for my gashes while my fathers talked to me about how much they missed me and how they were gonna help in anyway the could.

I was aloud to go home the next day, so we got in the car and drove to our house. Once I got inside I plopped down on the couch and turned on the TV. I turned it to the news channel and just watched
'The escaped villainness Crimson aka. Vivian knight, was taken into custody today and placed into Arkham Asylum under the order of Commissioner Gordon' said the TV.'

'I hope they can keep her there this time' I thought.

Hello again. I hope you liked this crappy one shot. I tried to make it good but i think I failed.
