Pov y/n

Worried as fuck, i slide down the wall. Riddler kneels in front of me, trying to get my attention. I stare into the distance.  "Y/n, darling, please talk to me. What did he do to you?! Do i need to go after him?'' I shake my head and stand up, looking at him without any emotion.

POV The Riddler

She looked at me with no emotion in her beautiful (E/C) eyes. I grab her hips. Trying to pull them closer to me. Instead of giving in, she put their (S/C) hands against my chest. "Get lost. I need to think". Wow. Thats the first time i heard that from her. I put my hand under her chin and force y/n to look at me. "I know your probably upset because of what old little batty said. If you get this riddle correct i will leave" she nod slightly, my hand still under her chin. Shes so smoll. (A/N sorry if your not smoll, here you are :3) i smirk.

"Riddle me this, riddle me that
Many have heard me, but none has seen me.
I will not speak back unless spoken to"

Y/n step back a bit. Her beautiful face in complete confusion. "Hm". I look around. "Ill make myself at home until you found the answer". I walk to the kitchen "oh and y/n?" "Yeah" she respond "dont cheat" i walk back to her while she looks out the window. When i stand behind i grab her hips and pull y/n closer. I whisper in y/n's neck, making the tiny hairs stand up straight "i hate cheaters".

Pov y/n

A shiver goes down my spine when i heard him say that. "What counts a cheating Edward?" I feel him stiff up behind me. "Don't call me that name again, alright dear?" "Why?" I feel him move away, i already i miss his warmth behind me. I turn around, seeing him laying on the table, looking at the ceiling. "Reasons" huh? Alright then, back to the riddle. Is it a voice? No, voices speak even when not spoken too. OH AN ECHO OF COURSE. but somewhere, i dont want him to go away. I decide to ask something and depending on that ill say my answer.
"Riddler?" "Yes my dear?" He answered. "I have a question for you" he sits up right, looking at me from behind his tiny mask "did you kill my parents" he stiffs slightly "uh-no!" I tilt my head and ask him again, this time more angry "did. You. Kill. My. PARENTS?!" "NO..UM..WELL... NO.. " he shouts back. I know enough. "The answer is an echo. Now dissapier." My voice is cold and stern. He jumps off the table and bows. "As you wish princess/prince" he says with with voice creaks from trying not to get upset or something. He rushes out the door, and i hear him driving away. I fall to my knees, crying my eyes out.

Why did he do it?
