Present Day
~3:00AM~
She awoke to a sudden vibration.
She was hearing impaired and took out her hearing aid before going to bed each night.
But just because she couldn't hear sounds didn't mean she couldn't hear.
She was keenly aware of all vibrations.
And the vibration that awoke her at 3:15am
Was one of haste.
She quickly grabbed her hearing aid by the bedside
And fumbled to place it in her ear.
As it turned on
She felt another vibration, only this time, it was accompanied by a terrible sound of cracking wood!
Visions of an axe going through the door
Popped into her head.
Damn those horror movies
For corrupting her mind, she thought.
Then snapped out of it as she heard another loud bang!
She quickly reached for her cell phone,
Which laid charging next to her bed.
She frantically searched for the phone button
But could hardly remember how to even unlock her phone...
Her adrenaline must have been going out of whack with fear..
The warrior she thought she had been
Now made her realize she was just a pussy cat all along..
She might scratch and claw
But when the real fight came,
She just wanted to run up the tallest tree and hide...
Or cuddle up in the lap of someone she trusted..
Which at the moment was no one.
When she finally was able to dial
Nine.
One.
One.
The first thing she said in a shaky voice
Was,
"Help me please! Someone's trying to break into my room!"
They asked for location and then if she knew who it might be.
She knew nothing..
She truly thought she had woken up in an alternative dimension
Also known as a nightmare...
But because she was actually standing there holding the phone by the window,
Wondering if her only escape would be to jump...
But it was 2 stories high and she knew that there would be a broken leg waiting for her at the bottom if she actually chose to use it.
She definitely knew this was no dream.
The police continue to ask questions
Which all gets drown out by the loud sound of wood cracking...
Until a sudden silence
But very strong force
Breaks all connection to security.
The door swings open!
"Omg! She screams!"
As she stares at the dark figure standing
In the door way..
"It's him..."
She pleads in defeat.
He walks in slowly
Whispering something calmly to her,
But she can't hear anything..
Her heart is beating so loud..
All she could do was take in what
Was before her...
In that now moment...
He's wearing all black..
He takes off his sun glasses,
And kneels on one knee before her..
She sees the surrender..
The innocence..
The love...
The suffering...
The call for her to come back,
Not only to her self but to him...
She finally saw it..
She wanted to hug him
But realized the phone was still in her hand..
The police on the other end
Were calling to her...
"Ma'am?
Ma'am?
Are you ok?"
She looked out the window.
There are police out there calling to her...
But she has lost all her words.
All her thoughts..
And there she stood before him,
Realizing that he had taken off
Her rose colored glasses...
And right then and there she saw
In that now moment,
Her truth...
That her heart only wanted her love..
She just had to be open to it.
And
When she listened to her heart..
That love brought her back to her
Dark Knight...
