Adventures of Catwoman

Friday night, 2:10AM.

I loved living in this city.

The moon was full, the distractions were endless, and it was the perfect time for me to finally make my move.

What can I say, I’ve always liked a bit of mystery.

I was the kind of woman who was intriguing, yet sexy. Dangerous – but sweet all at the same time.

I kept to myself, only letting a select few people into my life.

Some might call me lonely, but I was content.

An excellent judge of character, and a human lie detector – even the good ones knew there wasn’t much getting past me.

Several weeks prior to this evening

Yes, it was better off living the life of a villain, since that’s how most people saw me anyways. I was used to it. I could easily play both sides if I wanted to.

However.

I chose the darkness.

I loved the darkness.

I loved the night and all it encompassed.

I was going find what I was looking for on this night, in particular, and make sure I got what I came for.

And hopefully there were no dark heroes lurking around to save the day…err, night.

Then my plans would be completely foiled

There was something about him, though. Couldn’t quite put my finger on it.

Familiar, in a sense.

Wait a minute, that didn’t happen several weeks ago…was I dreaming?

Hmmm.

Ah, crap. Shake that off. There’s no way.

And this was certainly no time to get distracted now.

My plans for this heist were almost complete, and I was expecting a big payout. One where I wouldn’t have to work for months if I didn’t want to, and I could continue to fly under the radar once I had pulled it off.

The air in the cool night felt palpable, I was tingling all over, itching to finally get this plan underway and I knew I would feel it within me when it was time to strike. I had that innate sense, that knowing of when the perfect moment was. I waited for several long and agonizing minutes.

Finally.

Time to go.

SWING.

Slowly, slowly.

Man, I had prepared for this with some heavy exercise for quite some time, but keeping in shape was no small task, though. Scaling the side of the building wasn’t exactly for the faint of heart.

Checking to see if the coast is clear

If I planned this all correctly, and I had been for weeks, there was only a certain amount of time before the jewelry store sensors and alarms went off, and it was going to be a close call.

I was definitely taking a risk, especially with The Dark Knight lurking about with his wickedly magic ways of knowing every move I was going to make. It’s like he could read my mind or something.

THUD.

Ahh, always landing on my feet. Just like a cat.

Ouch. That landing never gets easier, though, I swear.

Time to put that aside.

I had a task to complete.

Whoosh! Magically inside

Focus, focus.

Where was that damn diamond? I only needed this very specific one. I didn’t want to smash all the glass and draw attention to myself…

I breathed in deeply, scanning the entire jewelry store for what I had come for, knowing I was working against the clock.

Aha!

Tada!!

Found it.

This was almost too easy.

I had seconds to spare. But I felt relief wash over me as I knew I would walk free and get away with this.

And my payday would be exquisite.

Sure, it wasn’t the most admirable thing in the world, stealing diamonds… but who else needed this huge diamond, anyways? Just some rich hipster douchenozzle probably giving it to his whiny girlfriend who he secretly hated.

Honestly. I was doing whoever the potential buyer was a favor. HUGE.

SLAM.

Oooooh. Oh my, that didn’t sound good.

Alarms from outside were blaring wildly in the nearby distance.

WEE-WOO, WEE-WOO, WEE-WOO.

Well, that wasn’t ideal…

I was out of there, in a flash.

I could still make it unscathed, I just had to traverse through the alleyways and go undetected…carefully, oh, so carefully, not looking too out of place, blending in with the shadows…

I glanced over my shoulder, and my heart skipped a beat.

There he was.

The Dark Knight.

His eyes were glowing with an intensity and there was a savage determination in him as he started to chase after me. My heart raced with fear and excitement – I knew I had to move fast to get out of here before he caught up to me.

I scrambled as quickly as I could, dashing away from my fearless pursuer as a prey would from a hungry predator. I had beaten him at his own game before, but would I be black-cat lucky enough, again?

Running, running, running.

God, I hated running.

I was out of breath at this point. The adrenaline coursed all the way through me, as the night had worn on longer than I had anticipated. He was suddenly catching up to me, inch by inch, closer and closer.

I wasn’t going to give myself up to him that easily, though.

He caught up to me just as I was about to make a break for the waterfront.

“You’re not getting away from me this time,” he growled, his eyes ablaze, furious.

I spun around, facing him with a dangerous grin. “Oh, don’t think you’re going to catch me,” I taunted.

But the Caped Crusader was relentless. He grabbed me by the arms, spinning me around and pinning me against the ledge near the waterfront.

“You’re under arrest,” he said, authoritatively.

I laughed, feeling a thrill of naughtiness run through me.

“You’ll never take me willingly,” I whispered.

My head rushed with excitement as he moved in closer towards me…everything suddenly became a blur.

But as we locked eyes, something shifted between us.

The anger and frustration seemed to melt away, replaced by a spark of …attraction?

The dark vigilante’s grip on my arms relaxed, and he leaned in closer. His eyes burned with an ardent flame as he whispered in my ear, “You’re not going anywhere.”

His voice sent shivers down my spine.

I felt myself reach up to grasp him, almost inadvertently.

What the hell was I doing?

This was the man who was going to make me pay for the crime I had just committed.

Closer, and closer…

And then suddenly, his lips were on mine, kissing me with a fierce intensity that left me breathless.

The End.

Something a little different from my usual, anyways. 😉

And of course, this wouldn’t be complete without me expressing my heartfelt gratitude for the very special Dark Knight who inspired me in the first place with his beautiful Catwoman images – thank you! 😊 you are so very much appreciated. ❤️

Thank you for reading.

  6. Very cool and intriguing Laura😊👏. The temptress thief! Good stuff. Is there going to be a part 2? Could this be a Cohen style ‘Dark’ comedy maybe!? She gets thrown straight into the clink…or maybe they end up getting married & it all goes horribly wrong, the Batman gets laid off & turns to the booze (not sure how that would work🤔), pawns off her diamond for the liquor. Maybe I should stop now, sorry😊, don’t want to sully your great work, just a cheeky thought! Great stuff Laura👏👍…Hope you keeping all well. Jay

    By the way, I loved the pictures just as much as the narrative; they created the atmosphere of some good, old-school comics 😉
