For the first few seconds she felt fine, everything was fine until she heard the most horrific, heart stopping screaming she had ever heard in her life.

Then Harley realised it was coming from her.

The blood flowing through her veins felt like molten lava, she was burning, she couldn't escape the flames choking her and dragging her down, she tried getting under her desk to protect herself from the horrific fire but it was consuming every last inch of her until it just vanished. Harley shakily got up from under her desk to see her office door wide open, she stared at it, knowing something horrible was coming through it any minute now, she just felt it in her gut. Finally a dark, murky figure emerged from the black nothingness that was the hallway, it was her Dad.

"Daddy?" Harley said, lip quivering, she hadn't seen him since she was 15.

The man stood in her doorway and stared at her, he had dark hair unlike Harley but the same blue eyes. "You are such a disappointment to me Harley, you're the reason me and your mother split up, you're the reason I left because I couldn't bare the fact my daughter was such a whore. I mean look at you, you're nothing but a cheap dumb whore. I never want to look at you again."

Harley scrambled to her feet and started to make her way across the room to her Dad, tears streaming down her face "I'm so sorry Daddy, please forgive me. I miss you, I love you. Please come back, don't leave me by myself with Mom. Please don't go." She said as he turned round and walked out of her life again, back down the corridor, Harley screamed after him

"DADDY PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME." But the door slammed shut before she could reach it. All Harley could do then was collapse to the floor in a ball and sob hysterically but she heard all the voices around her, she was surrounded by her mom, her stepdad, her teachers, her ex. They all kept telling her how worthless she was, how little she mattered, that was never going to get anywhere in life, no-one loved her or would ever love her.

She felt so broken, so small, she couldn't move so she just stayed on the floor rocking into her little ball crying and crying, it didn't stop, the voices never stopped.

Eventually everything just went black, her mind couldn't take it any longer.

When Harley woke up, everything hurt, absolutely everything. Her body felt like she had taken beating after beating after beating, she was covered in a quilt of some kind, her body felt warm, she carefully opened her eyes and peeked out at the world. Harley guessed she was in a hospital of some sorts, everything was white and sterile, she looked down at herself to see she had several tubes stuck into her arms, after looking around the room she also realised she was completely alone. Harley let her head fall back onto the pillow "So…that's my career gone."

She was alone for what felt like hours, no-one came into the room, not even a nurse. Harley wondered what she must have looked like when they found her, screaming on her office floor with a syringe lying next to her. Harls couldn't believe how stupid she had been! Trusting Scarecrow was so utterly naïve of her, and she couldn't even explain herself because…it was exactly how it looked. She wanted to cry but that wouldn't achieve anything.

After what felt a lifetime, she was greeted by a nurse who came bustling into the room.

"Good evening, Miss Quinzel. Finally awake I see?" The nurse was a very petite elderly woman with ginger hair all tied up in a neat bun, she spoke with an English accent.

"I've been awake a while, what happened?" Harley knew perfectly well what happened but she was hoping the nurse would give her some details.

The nurse, whose name badge said Carol, looked at Harley like she was stupid "What do you mean, what happened? Scarecrow attacked you!" Carol seemed concerned by the look of shock on Harley's face, maybe she had a concussion?

"I will fetch a Doctor, I will be right back." Harley watched her leave the room in a hurry.

Scarecrow attacked her? She just didn't understand, she had injected herself, no-one did it to her!

Unless…maybe Scarecrow was with her when she did it?
