Chapter 1
I don't know why fate is against me. It seems that every time something good happens, something HAS to happen to even it all out.
The sky was dark that night. The night that changed everything.
I was jogging home from school when the rain began to fall. Living in Gotham you learn that you do not want to be walking the streets alone when its dark.
Suddenly, a hand gripped my shoulder. My heart stopped and my elbow swung back. Fear blotted out every other emotion The man gabbed my wrists before I could do anything.
"What are you doing out alone, little girl?" the mans voice was low and his breath blocked out the smell of the rain. "Don't you know it's dangerous?"
He let out a cackle.
Realization flooded over me. No one could make a cackle like that except the Joker.
'I'm screwed.'
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. 'I should be home by now.' I thought. 'So wouldn't my mom wonder where I am?' But no. My mom would be drunk and my dad would still be in his grave. I'd like to say I had a happy childhood but I can't. I still have the scars from where I was cut and beaten.
My stormy gray eyes shot open. I cant think about that now. Now, I have to fight to live.
I whipped my head around and my black hair went flying everywhere.
"Oh! Harley! We got a feisty one!"
"on it Mistah J!"
A wave of panic shot through me. 'What did she mean by that?'
Before my mind could come up with an idea of how to get the heck away from here, gas was sprayed and all went dark.
I apologize for shortness! Please review!
