Ah, back finally! I've been busy these last few weeks, but I'm going to make up for it! Enjoy!!! :D
Shit! Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit ....and a big fat FUCK!
Alicia chanted mentally as the Joker teasingly placed one dress-shoe in front of the other, whistling something that was too happy to go with the current situation.
In her professional opinion anyway.
She looked around her for something that slightly resembled a way out. It was getting unnaturally dark, the black sky dropping soft white pellets down around them.
"Dontcha jus love snow?" the Joker said in a singsong voice, stopping to play in a small pile of it. Alicia ignored it and turned to look behind her. The wall was more of a fence, made of wood and about eight feet tall.
Fuck. She almost turned back until she saw the holes. Holes that could easily be used as foot holes.
"Yes," she whispered and looked back to see the Joker still acting like a kid in a candy store. Heart thumping wildly, she turned and tensed her legs up for the jump. But something snagged her hood and she was thrown back.
"Hello Dolly!" the nasally voice suddenly became a snarl as the Joker grinned evilly over her. His gums were black and the teeth yellowed and diseased, but his breath was surprisingly....fresh. She stared at him, eyes wide with fear as he pulled her up and backed her up against the stony wall.
"Ya know doll," he said, his lips flicking across his horrendous scars," I, uh, robbed that bank over there. Ya know tha big one down tha street? Ya know tha one. Anyway, I hired some guys to, uh, help me get the job done. Only thing was, I decided to make it a little...interesting. Ya see Doll, I told the guys helpin me to kill the partner they were workin' with on a specific part of the heist and they' get a bonus from the big man on top. In case you were wondering who that was, it's me. Then, uh, you showed your pretty little face. My men decided to go after you, even when I tol' 'em ta stay with the plan so you know what I did?" he asked, giggling like a schoolgirl and shaking Alicia.
"Well do ya? C'mon, guess!!" he said, still smiling. Alicia shook her head and shrugged, afraid he'd do something if she spoke. She wasn't thinking about what could happen if she didn't.
"I said guess!" the snarl was back and he shook her violently, the knife glinting from his hand. Snow fell around them, the cold wind making her even colder than she had been. The only heat, coming from the Joker's hand as they threatened to snap her thin arms.
"you k-k-killed them?" Joker thought about it for a moment before letting her go.
"Good girl! Yea, I killed 'em. Had to ya know. I shot 'em all, even the bus driver that was sposed ta be drivin me home. And here we are!" he motioned to the narrow alley, giggly tone back. Alicia backed up against the fence again, trying to make as much space between them as possible.
"Ya know what now Dolly?" the Joker asked, ignoring the snow piling on his shoulders as he wagged the knife back and forth. Alicia yelped as he ran toward her, closing the little distance they had between them. He traced little patterns all over her face with the tip of the blade.
"What?" she asked, tilting her head back when he dug a little too hard into the cheeks of her face. He tilted it forward again, watching with a smile as little blood droplets fell down her face like tears.
"Anybody ever told ya that ya look just like Jayne Mansfield? Ya really do. Hey," he gasped, like he just thought of the cure for cancer, "Guess what again?"
"What?"
"I'm gonna show you how I got my smile!" Instinct kicked in and she head butted the man. Hard. He fell back, the make-up on his forehead gone. Alicia turned around and jumped, her hands catching in the first hole she could reach. She pulled herself up and placed her foot in it, climbing up until her fingertips grazed the top of the fence.
"Oh no you don't!" A gloved hand grabbed her ankle and she was falling backward, the fence getting farther away. Then she hit the icy concrete with a sickening crunching noise as she recognized the burning feeling of something breaking. the Joker walked to stand over her, panting heavily as blood ran from his head into his black eyes.
"I.....I....wooo dayum....I like a little fight in em." He laughed breathily and bent over her. His head was hit once again when she kicked him in the face. Pain shot up her spine as she rose and used his face as leverage to stand up. As soon as she was up, so was he. The Joker grunted and started to laugh as they circled one another, the knife switching hands as Alicia shakily watched the calm killer in front of her size her up.
No way in hell I'm gonna die in a goddamn alley with you, ya grimy fuck. She thought as they locked eyes, the Joker still laughing. Even as she was getting dizzy, she noticed she wasn't the least bit afraid.
Matter of fact she was pissed.
Every step hurt and she was positive that her skin was turning blue from the cold.
"Ya cold dolly?" the Joker asked mockingly, taking the opportunity to charge at her like a mad bull. Alicia barely dodged it, pushing him face first into the wall behind her. The knife clinked to the ground and she lurched for it. He quickly recovered and kicked it down the alley, smashing a few of her fingers in the process. She grunted and stood up, trying to shake the pain off her hand.
"Shit," she whimpered, shaking her hand harder as he giggled, fully enjoying this.
"Hahaha this is fun! We should do it more often," he said, serious for a minute before his black eyes turned up into a fit of laughter. She ran for the knife, snow crunching under her feet as she grasped it tip first, her skin breaking and dying the snow a bright red.
"Ah ah ah. That ain't how ya hold a knife proper!" the Joker chastised, grabbing her by the ankle when she tried to run away with the knife and twisted, watching her flip over and land on her back. She howled as her foot lay limp on the ground at a weird angle, obscenities of every kind spewing red hot from her mouth.
"Stupid prick shit god dammit mother fucking cock-sucker.....SHIIT! FUUUUUCK that hurts! Bitch!" She wailed, ignoring the tears when the Joker stopped to look at her like she was the crazy one.
"Wow Doll. That's quite the mouth ya got. Lemme give you a smile ta match." He grabbed for the knife and she raised her knee to connect with his unprotected crotch.
"SWEET BALLS!" he cried, high-pitched giggles falling from his mouth. Alicia turned over gingerly and crawled, the target the mouth of the alley, knife still in hand. She growled in frustration when the Joker straddled her back, pinning her to the ground. She coughed wheezily, blood splattering all over the ground.
"This was fun, I gotta admit. But now, I'm bored, so if ya don't mind Dolly," he trailed off, raising the hand with the knife in it. He twisted sharply and Alicia could taste the bone as the silent air was filled with a sickening crack. The pain was dull, though. Alicia was freezing, sore, and dead tired.
"You should take a load off Doll..." the Joker cackled as her eyes went fuzzy as she tried to keep them open. she thought she felt something graze her face, but the real pain started with a digging sensation somewhere on her body.
oooh Cliffhanger, gotta love 'em! Welp, the next chap should be up soon, so RATE & REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
