Runaway Fiance~ 1 (Mini-Series) Yandere Ra Al Ghul X Marie (DC)
My Co Author For This: (Who Marie Is inspired after) @mamamaries
(No one's pov)
Marie slowly opened her eyes, not moving at all at first. She was waiting to hear footsteps. And she did.
She tried to visualize what she was hearing. She's only have so much time. Only such a brief window. She could probably lie if anyone saw her.. but she'd rather not deal with it at all.
When she'd first met Ra's- he seemed..like a dream come true. Courteous, polite, well-spoken, well-educated. Maybe a little too educated because..god he was much smarter than her- but he seemed like a dream.
She never expected him to show interest in her, she never expected they'd be together.
He seemed so old school. But she didn't mind, he didn't push her for intimacy. Something she often appreciated. She was too scared to kiss and it just..it had to be the right moment. They hadn't gotten too far- aside from that one time in the hot tub- that got...quite intense.
He always talked about how he loved this planet, like she did. How people had to be better for each other and for the world.
That was true- but he lied to her about what he did to achieve that- what his league did to achieve that.
How do you go about telling your girlfriend, now fiancée that you just so happen to not only be suspiciously loaded but..oh, I don't know..run an entire league of assassins and call yourself the demon head of it- trying to murder whole cities worth of people, blackmail, weapon smuggling- how do you even try?
Well, she could tell you. You don't. She found out by mistake when she got a little too curious.
Which is why she was leaving. She swore to him when he proposed that he'd be her family now, that she'd be a part of his world and he'd be a part of hers- but she didn't want that.
She didn't even bother taking anything but enough money to just- grab a ride and go. Go somewhere. She didn't care. Maybe she'd die of frostbite out in the snowy tundra but she didn't care.
All she cared about was running. And run she did. Through the snow, through the harsh wind. Her legs- she couldn't even feel them anymore. She finally reached a village and managed to get someone to take her on their plane after begging enough. Wherever it was going. That's where she'd live. She couldn't ever go back home. That's the first place they'd look. It took weeks to finally get somewhere she felt was safe, and even now, she always was worried they'd find her...and they'd kill her. No doubt.
She was settled down, working in a small shop and being helpful in any way she could. She even flirted with one of her coworkers. He was not Ra, but he was sweet and a very good man. John was a simple man who came here to help out his grandfather, the owner. She was happy to work with him. But she never let anyone take her photo, as the risk of it getting online. She lived her life the best she could but she also now lived in fear.
"Morning Mar!" John says as Marie walks into the shop. "I am so glad you came in, we will be busy today, the festivals start tonight! I-I was wondering if you wanted to go with me to the first night! You know l-like a date!"
John was nervous but he wanted to ask Marie out to have a date with her.
(John I am sorry but you will die XD)
(John is done for he's cooked)
(XD Yes he has sealed his fate XD)
She hadn't dated since Ra's. Her first and only relationship- it was.. not ideal. She didn't trust anyone.
"A..date? I... I don't.." she stopped. "I haven't..dated in a long time. I'd..I'd like that." She didn't know if she actually would.
She would not even admit it to herself, but she was still attached to Ra. Her deep connection still had her attracted to him, that is what made finding out about him hurt all the more. She was the first man she was ever fully attracted to and wanted to be with in real life. So when she found out the type of man he was it was like a stab to her heart, but she still loved him on some level, and that made it hurt the most.
However, if she does not learn to move on and learn her heart come to terms she cannot be with Ra... Then she will never heal.
"That is great!" John grins so happy he was over the moon, he really liked Marie and could not wait. 'I will close the shop tonight, so you can have time to get ready!"
Marie nodded John was so different like a puppy dog almost wanting to do everything to make Marie happy.
She gave him a sort of tense smile. She never told John the truth, only half of it. She had a dangerous Ex, one who could never know where she was. That's all he needed to know.
"Thanks, John." She said.
They continued to work in the shop and had a great time. The day was busy and John made sure Marie took plenty of breaks so she did not get overwhelmed
She had some pretty serious social anxiety. No one could come behind her or from the side- he had no idea what her ex did, but it had to be bad.
"Well, that's it for the night, you go, I'll stay behind and lock up," John said as Marie slowly waved and began her journey back to her shitty little apartment.
She was unaware that one of Ra's assassins was in town for a job, and he saw Marie crossing the street.
"I be damned." He says and pulls out his cell phone on the third Call Ra Answer.
"What is it, I am busy in this meeting." He says as he pulls the victim's eye out of his skull.
"I just caught sight of your fiance, Marie." He says and Ra's froze, it had been a year... a year without her and she was found.
"Where are you?" He demands stabbing the victim in the head and ending his meeting.
