Chapter 3
Sidesie
That god I kept crazy back there! I think I was about to fall of the building, that man, he was just so... gorgeous.
I ran across the rooftop I was skipping between cartwheels and flips. I was in such a happy mood! He was stunning! He had messy medium length hair the same blonde as me, but it made me swoon! His body was toned and was built, unlike most of the guys in this place who were either scrawny asnd dying or fat and dying, he was fit and alive. And his eyes, his eyes, they were the most beautiful shade of blue I have ever seen, I was so close to collapsing when I was talking to him, but I lasted until our conversation ended.
I continued to make my way back to Daddy J's Funland, where I lived. As I was making my way there, I was still cart wheeling, skipping and flipping around happily.
Soon I was standing on a building near the entrance. Daddy J's Funland was the base of our survival in Arkham. It was like an amusement park, it had a ferris wheel, a roller coaster, and game houses. Only thing was, it was extremely broken down. Many of the building around the area were boarded up, many colourful lights were broken and dirty, while some of the rides had bits of the thing missing. It was rundown, dirty, cold and only a complete mental person would want to live here. To me, it was home sweet home.
I entered through the front of the old rusty gates and smiled as I saw some nearby gang member look at me with fear. As I entered further and further into the Funland, I began to walk faster, that soon turned into a jog, but then turned into a race to my little house. I came to my boarded up building at the front, right of the Funland. The only way in was through the rooftop, so as I was climbing to the top of my building, something popped into my head, my lullaby. I sang to to myself as I continued to climb. I was still singing it when I found the trap door on my rooftop and when I jumped down into my room.
I quickly shifted my bed from its usual spot it was in, under my bed was the lullaby. The whole song was carved in by a knife that I used. I gave a quick look at it before I headed to one of my drawers. The drawer that I went to was my weapons draw. I rummaged through it until I found the small pocket knife that I used to carve in the song. I was still singing the lullaby when I was kneeling at the end of the carved in song, but I was coming to the end of it. I began to carve in another line to the song, a line that I felt suited it so much. Something that I wanted to fulfil. When I was done, I sighed peacefully and stood up to examine my work. I read it out loud to myself.
"And when Daddy J fulfils his plan. I will run away with Lukess and he'll be my man." I sighed again and collapsed on my awkwardly angled bed and pulled out my phone. I called Hector as I sat up swinging my legs back and forth waiting to tell him about my kill, but mostly the guy I met.
"Hey Sideways." He answered. Hector, Mommy Quinn and Daddy J were the only ones who knew my real name, Sideways.
"Hey Hector. I just made a kill not long ago! And it was so fun!" I laughed.
"Same here, the dead body is at my feet right now, I'll send you a picture later."
"Thanks Hector! Anyway, I just killed one of the newest guys who work for Daddy J. So you can guess why I killed him."
"ah, he made the rape comment didn't he?" She chuckled. "What idiots!"
"Excatly! But guess what, when I was going to call you earlier I ran into one of Two-Face's bozo worker and he almost killed me with my own gun!"
"Lemme guess, you whipped out your chain and chocked him slowly and painfully?" He said in a happy voice. Hector and me got along so well because we both loved blood and gore.
"Nope, instead I was saved, by the most amazing, irresistible man on this planet." I swooned.
"Wow, and you met him how long ago?" He chuckled.
"I'm serious Hector! He was so perfect, it was like he had a charm on me."
"Okay so who is he? Does he work for your dad?"
"Sadly no. But he might. He only just got here last night and I had to tell him everything about how this place runs. He couldn't really decide on who he was going to work for. But he said the Joker was the most likely!" I said excitedly.
"Well good for you. Anyway, I got to go. I see one of penguins goons and I plan on killing him slowly!"
"Perfect! Bye Hector!" I hung up and chucked my phone onto the ground and laid back in my bed, thinking about Lukess.
I really hoped he chose to work for the Joker, because if he doesn't he is in the chance that I might have to kill him. And I couldn't bear to think about it. After all, to kill someone you love is just the same as killing yourself.
