I own nothing but Amber and Coreen, my own characters.

Coreen POV

I was bored. My wonderful parents hadn't arrived to this 'vote for Harvey Dent' campaign run by Bruce Wayne and so myself and my sister Amber had to take their place. We were told since my mother wanted to get on the good side of the richest man in Gotham we had to play good little girls and donate their support no matter how good or bad the guy sounded.

I was leaning against the wall next to the large window which overlooked Gotham's good half. The room was elegant and decorated in rich gold's and crystal hanging from every other reasonable surface. It was like the prince's castle in Cinderella pushed into a large penthouse.

My sister was stood next to me although her posture was straight and respectable; mother had made sure to raise us proper ladies. But my father's idea of proper ladies was old fashioned, stay at home while the men work point of view. And I was completely against that, I had almost been disowned six times by the time I was 16 because I wouldn't follow the rules unless I knew they were VERY important. This wasn't in my opinion but, I wouldn't allow my sister to come here alone. She was the only reliable family member I had.

She was 16 and beautiful, she had a cream and peach complexion and a permanent rosy blush adorning her soft cheekbones, round milky brown eyes which screamed innocence matching her small and childlike frame. Her thin lips were always in a gentle smile projecting kindness and trust making her so likable and it just drew people in and made them glow. She had put more effort into her appearance tonight then I had, she was wearing a shimmering navy blue dress which was tight around the bodice and almost floated out around her ankles. It had a light blue beading patterned up the left side to make sure if she spun the dress would stay a respectable level and not humiliate the wearer. And her gorgeous golden curls were pinned up and floating down in ringlet layers making her fit in perfectly with the other guests.

Me on the other hand, I was wearing a plumb coloured dress that was an empire line and ended at my knees showing my decorated tights which had little stars patterned over them, my platform like shoes reminded me of a Victorian school girl and my hair was in its usual do, long and wavy in streaks of its natural brown with my own added highlights in midnight purple on the tips of my hair, which was in a high pony tail. My pale and pasty complexion unlike my sisters made people constantly ask whether I was ill or not and almost appeared translucent under certain lights.

I was five foot 5 and almost towered over my sister's 5 making her appear even more innocent but my frame was not only taller but slightly less shaped. Whereas she had small portioned curves in the right places, I was just a twig and never saw the reason to highlight it making me always simply dressed and made up. My sister and mother … even my father made sure that they were VERY presentable before even leaving their own bathrooms and then I was the little black sheep.

While my sister was conversing with Alfred, Bruce's butler who was a sweet old man while I was simply glancing around seeing Rachel walking over though ended my glancing and made me smile. She was very sweet and was a bit like what I wished my mum was like instead of a snooty lady with fanned money for toilet paper.

"Coreen, it is lovely to see you, although I couldn't quite believe it when Bruce told me you were coming instead of your parents. You hate this sort of thing!" She giggled making me groan slightly.

"I didn't want to but my parents insisted and after hearing them say Amber would be here alone I cracked like an egg and said I would come, not going to leave her alone!" I said grinning as my sister blushed at hearing my reasoning.

"Rachel" I heard Harvey mutter as he joined us making me roll my eyes. I liked Harvey but I think that everyone was just a little too reliant on him and that made it harder to be here. He was a nice guy like Bruce when you got past the image but the portrayed image is too much sometimes.

"Heya Harv!" I smirked using his most hated nickname making him glare at me before flicking a bit of champagne at me from his glass and missing making me smirk wider.

"Can I talk to you in Private Rachel?" He sounded nervous and I rolled my eyes at the dramatics, he wanted to propose for ages now but couldn't quite bring himself to ask despite his confidant act he was scared she would say no.

After a few more boring minutes things got a little interesting as Rachel ran back to me and Amber and told us to stay calm making me raise my eyebrows in confusion.

The confusion soon cleared as I heard a loud blast from the elevator and saw the clown masks that were on TV a few days ago as they buzzed into the room and made the guests go from relaxed and confused to scared and hostages. Soon in the midst of the creepy clowns came the king, The Joker.

"Hello ladies and gentle-men, we are tonight's entertainment!" He said loudly and clearly, his face was a ghostly white and his eyes were black like pits from hell emphasizing his scarred cheeks and bloodlike grin as he strolled casually around making a tray drop with a loud clatter making people jolt slightly and him grin wider with a smug look in his deep eyes.

"Now I got one question where is Harvey Dent?" He asked drinking some woman's drink and helping himself to some gross looking shrimp making me recoil slightly.

"I will settle for loved ones!" He stated spinning around looking every other person in the face settling a moment longer on mine as Amber clung to me and Rachel as were in front of her. Winking to me slightly and smirking at the same time made my eyebrow rise slightly before some old man busted out that he wasn't afraid of thugs making the Joker look at me again just a second longer before spinning to the old man holding a knife to him before Rachel opened her trap attracting his attention to us again.

Silently groaning I watched as he sauntered over in his deep purple suit and blue shirt making a little skip as he reached us.

"Well hello beautiful…"

Well that's one way to liven up a party.
