You have failed this city....... (On Hold)

Nightmares and scars

Starling city

Ashtyn's P.O.V

I was staring at the TV that was in the living room. It was on a show I used to love watching, H2o: just add water. I felt someone tap me on the shoulder and I freaked out. I grabbed the hand and flipped them over the couch and shoved my arm against their throat, while I sat on top of them.

It took me a few seconds to realize that it was my mother and that Walter was yelling. "Ashtyn!" Walter yelled. "Oh my god, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I said as I got up and moved away from her. I made myself as small as possible.

Mom moved closer to me and crouched down in front of me. "It's alright sweetheart. Your home. Your home." Mom said. I felt someone's eyes on me, so I looked up. I saw Thea and Oliver looking at me. Oliver looked at me with understanding while Thea looked at me with sympathy.

"Why weren't you asleep?" Walter asked. "I can't sleep. Every-time I close my eyes, I'm back at that place. Back on the island." I said with a sob. Mom moved to me and pulled me into a hug. At first is stiffened, but then I melted into it.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ollie asked. "I didn't want to burden you." I said with my voice  just above whisper as I pulled away from her. "Let's go get you some hot cocoa." Mom said. I nodded and looked at Ollie. "Come with us. Please." I said. Ollie nodded and walked over to us.

~ Time skip~

Oliver's P.O.V.

I watched Ash as she sat in front of the tv, with Thea, of course I know that she is a little jumpy when it comes to touch. Especially after what she has been through all those year, but mom didn't and then it ended up with Ash at the top and mom in the bottom.

Ash understands what happened and immediately let go and tries to be as  small as possible mom sits in front of her and calms her down then she looks up to see me and Thea looking at her. I looked at her with an understanding look while Thea showed sympathy.

(Time skip- next morning)

Ashtyn's P.O.V

I woke up the next morning at about 9 am and got out of bed. I went over to my closet and pulled out my black sport's bra and some black work out shorts. I then went tot my bathroom and put my hair up in a braid.

I walked back into my room and put on some music. I grabbed my water bottle and moved over to the half of my room that was made for me to work out in. I started to hit my punching bag and worked on slowing down mt heart.

As I worked out, I let my body go back into the routine I made for myself on the Island. I started with push ups. After I did 100 of those, I went to sit ups. I did 100 of those and I started to feel peace.

I got up and went back to the punching bag. Even before the Yacht, I worked out. Mom put me in karate classes and I knew how to defend myself. On the Island, I made myself into something else. I forged myself into a weapon and Ollie did the same.

I finished up with my work out and headed to my closet. I grabbed a black shirt and some jean shorts. They were cut to be really short on me. I grabbed my plaid shirt to put over my black shirt. I then grabbed my diamond encrusted wing necklace.

As I was about to put my cloths on, I heard Thea say, "How did you get those?" I turned around quickly and gasped. "Thea! Don't scare me!" I shrieked at her. She was staring at the scars that covered my body.

"Don't you knock?" I asked as I put on my shirt. "Wait, mom said their were scars......" She cut off as she got good look at the scars covering my body. She gently touched one of them and asked, "How did you get these?"

"The Island." I said. "Do they hurt?" I just shook my head at that question. I got dressed and noticed that I didn't pick out any shoes. "Help me with the shoes?" I asked. "Sure." Thea said. She marched over to my closet and pulled out a four inch black leather boot.

"How about these?" Thea asked. "They look good." I said. I put them on and walked down to the kitchen and grabbed an apple. "Hey little sis." Oliver said as he hugged me. "Hey Ollie. Are we still on for today?" I asked.
