"..Why have you forsaken me? In your eyes forsaken me? In your thoughts forsaken me? In your heart forsaken..me?" –Chop Suey (SOAD)

Chapter 4. It begins (1)

Jasmine awoke to searing pain as a cold towel was being carefully applied to her skin, easing but causing the pain. She tried to move away but a firm hand held her down, making her head pound viciously and her vision dance with colors and the curves of
a woman.

She made a gurgling sound, and sunk lower into the water, making her splash water onto the woman currently washing her.

"Geez! CALM down why dontcha! You're making a mess" she scolded sarcastically, surprised the woman awoke during such a painful experience. She knew when she took her dive she was unconscious for a few days, even when her lover washed her body
to free her from the remaining acid she didn't awake according to him..

"I'm surprised you're awake..I know this isn't a walk in the park, but it's to help you, trust me.." she scolded slightly, her New York accent strong.

She weakly shook her head side to side while her eyes fluttered closed as her breathing slowed to shaky gasps, and the woman laughed as she realized she fell asleep again.

"Trust me, I know your pain.." she laughed bitterly as she continued washing the woman carefully, watching as her creamy skin began to peal away quickly, leaving raw stark white skin. She noticed the woman had no blemishes, no tattoos, or really anything
on her skin for the matter.

Her eyes widened as she really took in her looks, her beauty still apparent even though her body was currently changing.

"Soon, you'll be as pretty as me and puddin!" She giggled childishly.

Several hours later. (Harley pov)

Harley ducked as a glass paperweight was hauled harshly at her head, laughing warily as it shattered upon contact with the wall behind her. She knew he was irritated at her, and she really shouldn't be laughing, but she just couldn't help how cute he
looked while glaring at her.

It tickled her pink.

"But puddin..! Just let me explain!" She ducked as another was hurled at her, nicking her shoulder blade making her wince. She frowned, her frustration boiling over at his overly dramatic reaction.

If he would just let her explain..

"Dammit! Listen to me!" She screeched while closing her eyes, half expecting to be hit by a flying object. When nothing happened she peered at him, and noticing he was waiting for her to continue she began again.

"What was I supposed to do?! Leave her there? I was gonna put her out of her misery, but she looked at me with those puppy dog eyes and I.." she was cut off as he slapped her hard against her cheek, snapping her head to the left harshly.

She blinked, more in surprise than pain as her eyes welled up with tears.

"You idiot! You would bring a half dead kid into our domain, who just so happens to be the dead mob bosses daughter that everyone's looking for, because she gave you puppy dog eyes?!" He began stalking towards her.

She winced as he snatched her by her throat against the wall, closing her eyes to avoid his furious glare. She tried not to gag as she felt his grip tighten with his rising anger as she continued to avoid looking at him.

"Look. At. Me. "

His voice demanded obedience, and she mentally sighed as her body betrayed her, eyes snapping open instantly upon command as she was met with his furious snowy glare.

Even facing death, she knew she would never be able to disobey him. She knew full well that he owned her, mind body and soul.

She whined as her body slacked submissively, giving him full access to her neck in his hands. It was then when his grip loosened, him never once breaking eye contact with her as he let her go with a growl.

"God harls, what the fuck where you thinking?! What if someone saw you and got the wrong idea? They could think we killed him and kidnapped her!"

She glared with watery eyes as she defiantly growled at him, fed up with his antics.

"But no one saw me! God you think I'm that incompetent that I'd be sloppy enough to let someone see me? Ha. Well guess what buddy?! Anybody that could've seen me can't tell you, cause the dead keep their secrets forever!"
She yelled slightly, now agitated at his underlying insult.

She watched as she cocked his head sideways at her, and she flinched as she realized she yelled at him.

'Oh shit..here we go!'

She glanced at him wearily as he began to walk towards her. She knew he was angry but she didn't care. She was just hurt that he would think so lowly of her, as she was sure she'd proven herself long ago, the many heists and missions they've completed
together or solely because of her being the physical evidence.

She flinched as he reached for her cheek, caressing it carefully with one finger.

"Of course not baby, I know you're more than capable of being careful.."

Her breath hitched as his hand continued traveling downward, now tracing random patterns against her chest, making slow circles when they would come in contact with her nipples.

"Now..tell daddy the reason why you would do something so foolish? I'm listening intently.." he purred as his eyes fogged over, making them unreadable to her.

She bit her lip to stifle a moan, not wanting to give in.

"I-I thought maybe s-she could be my slave or somethin' you know? I-I mean think about it.. she fell into the acid like us, and survived! I can recreate her entire being and make her into whatever I want her to be.. k-kind of l-li.."

She gasped as his hand found her womanhood suddenly, rubbing the same patterns now on her sensitive area.

"A human doll" he finished for her as he closed the space between them.

Burying his facing in the crook of her neck, She shuddered as he inhaled against her skin, and she nearly jumped out of her skin as he cackled his famous laugh loudly in her ear.

"You..my little minx, are one cruel little girl. Just evil!" He laughed again as she moaned deeply when he quickened his fingers pace against her thin shorts.

"M-Mistah J.." she groaned out, angry at herself for letting him toy with her.

Knowing she was reaching her end, he stopped right before she could get her release and began choking her again. His voice was threatening as he pushed her against the wall harshly.

"You will take care of her. No one will help you. If she gets in my way I will kill her, then you. If she brings any trouble, I will make sure you regret having pity on the bitch, do you understand..?" She clawed at his hands as
his fingernails began digging in her skin painfully.

"And if you ever..do anything like this behind my back again, I can promise you no mercy. Do you understand sweetums?" He breathed calmly.

She nodded weakly in agreement, then coughed violently as he released her neck harshly. She watched him walk towards the door, not once looking back as he exited, slamming the door loudly.

'God, even after all this time he's still so unpredictable' She sighed in annoyance while she rubbed her raw neck.

'Well duh? He is a clown? Clowns will forever be unpredictable.' The voices chimed in unexpectedly.

They had been quiet up until now.

Harley mentally glared as she made her way towards the door, knowing the unconscious woman would be waking up soon.

"Yea I guess you're right" she said aloud to no one, laughing as she realized how ridiculous she probably looked.

Dusting off invisible dust, she headed upstairs to her room. Opening it quietly she noticed the woman was still asleep. She quietly walked towards her, a strange neon green liquid in a vial swishing quietly in her hands.

Shaking the sleeping woman softly as she sat on the edge of the bed, she popped the cork off the vial.

"Hi! How ya feelin'?! You took a nasty fall in some nasty stuff.. " she giggled childishly as she moved to prop the woman up, ignoring her groaning and horrified expression.

"Here, drink this. It'll help stop the decomposition of your vocal cords. I don't know if you'll be able to speak again.. that is up to your body to decide. If it's strong enough it'll work with the medicine to restore it"

She held her down as the woman tried to scramble away from her prying fingers. Forcing her mouth open carefully, she quickly poured the liquid down her throat while holding her nose, apologizing in advance for the horrible taste.

She winced when the woman began clawing at her throat violently, knowing the medicine itself hurt like hell. She pitied her as she held her hands to keep her from tearing at her skin.

"I know, but it's only for a moment calm down!" She grounded out through clenched teeth as she struggled to subdue the flailing woman. Eventually her struggling died and her panicked noises stopped.

"You probably don't remember so I'll tell you again.. The name's Harley, Harley Quinn!" She smiled brightly.

"You know, I can't help but wonder how such a pretty girl got wrapped up in such a ugly situation.." she rubbed her chin curiously as she continued.

"Well, all that is a thing of the past! I saved you! Think of me as your guardian angel!" She cooed.

" For your gratitude you will pledge your loyalty to me! You will do whatever I ask with no questions. Am I understood?"

She smiled as the woman nodded weakly.

"Oh great! This is going to be so much fun! Just you wait! I haven't had another girl to play with in forever! It's always Puddin and the boys" she grumbled in mock annoyance.

"Well, in about two minutes you're going to be out cold. When you wake up you'll be fully healed, and the fun can begin!" She shook the woman slightly, making her glare at her as she groaned painfully at the sudden movement

"Oh, sorry.. I'm a bit forgetful" she whined, scratching her head sheepishly.

Harley watched with morbid fascination as the woman's eyes widened In horror as she analyzed her new skin, touching herself lightly in random places to see if her eyes were deceiving her. She watched the emotions swim through the woman's now milky jade
eyes.

Shock.

Confusion.

Disbelief.

Realization.

Disbelief.

Horror.

Harley stifled a giggle.

"Pretty neat huh? It almost looks unreal, like makeup! Mistah J was the first success story of the acid pit, yours truly being the second of course.." she beamed proudly.

"And now! You! It's perfect! Now it's like a little mini me I can take care of! Like a little doll, or better yet…A baby!" She eyed the woman dreamily as she imagined the possibilities.

Jasmine groaned, though Harley wasn't sure if it was out of fear, pain, or anger.

"I'll make you the prettiest doll in Gotham! Oh just you wait I can tell by the way your skin is doing now that you're gonna be healed up in no time! I just hope that throat of yours survived"

She jumped as the woman suddenly hurled forward, heaving up large amounts of liquid onto the floor. Her eyes fluttered open and closed as she Began to shake violently, forcing Harley to grab her quickly to keep her from falling underneath the water.

Looking up slowly, Jasmines vision became blurry as the images of the previous night played over, making the contents of her stomach upset.

Dirty fingers.

Her fathers harsh words.

His mutilated corpse.

The betrayal.

Her being rescued.

Her saviors..

She glanced up at Harley slowly, her hazy eyes giving an illusion of a glowing crown surrounding Harley's head.

She opened her mouth, her throat making gurgling noises as she reached for the invisible crown, all the while Harley watching her in fascination.

"Q-Q-Qu-Qu-ee-n"

Harley gasped as the woman slumped loosely in her arms, forcing her to pick her up bridal style. Reaching for a towel, she gently covered her as she walked to a guest room. Carefully she laid the unconscious woman down on the bed, staring at her in amazement
and disbelief.

'Did she call me a queen? I can't believe she could even say that let alone anything at this state! I see this is going to be way more interesting then I thought!'
