Chapter 5

Myself, my new toy, The Joker and his henchmen ran out of the building just as the police were arriving. I threw the kicking and screaming Barbie into the back of the van and climbed into the passenger seat while The Joker got into the drivers seat and his henchmen in the back with her. The Joker started the car and accelerated fast, to any normal person this would have a scary, crazy and spelling out death, I simply thought it was fun.

"Whoopee this is fun" I screamed happily, as he sped around the corners and purposely banged into passing cars.

"Has anyone ever survived a car ride with you without a seat belt?" I shouted over the engine and the many car horns beeping at him to slow down.

He looked at me with an insane grin on his face "first time for everything" he called back.

I grinned wildly back and turned to look out the window, a huge smile spread across my face. " This is turning into more fun than I thought" I murmured happily.

***

The van jerked to a stop! I felt my body me thrown forward, painfully my face collided with the front window. The Joker burst into hysterical laughter, I peeled my face off the window and glared at him, then got a fun thought. I placed my hand behind his head and slammed his face into the steering wheel making the horn let out a long and loud beep. I began laughing so hard tears trickled down my painted cheeks, messing up my make up even more than it already was from the blood splatters and smudges.

The Joker mumbled curses under his breath as he got out of the van, rubbing his painful forehead. I noticed that we were all outside a large abandoned warehouse, one of the Joker's henchmen pulled my toy out of the car and threw her at me, she tried to kick my with her sharp heels but I dodged her and stood on her foot, making her scream in pain. I covered her mouth with one hand and grabbed her hair with the other.

" Come on Barbie, play nice" I teased pouting a little.

I followed the others into the warehouse dragging my toy along. All those thoughts of a normal life seem silly at this moment in time. I could feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins, it all felt like being high, a wonderful and exciting high.

"PUDDIN!!" a high pitched voice called

I saw The Joker let out a frustrated sigh. Sneering at him as I watched a young woman with bleached blonde hair emerge from another separate room and run up to him, she pulled him into a tight embrace. I noticed that he didn't hug her back but only pushed her away. This made me frowned slightly in confusion.

"Hey! Joker, where do I put Barbie here?" I asked nudging my new toy. He began walking towards myself and Barbie as I now loved to call her. He pulled out a knife and waved it in her face, her eyes widened in horror. I grinned ecstatically. " She's going to...she's going to do it...she's going to faint-" I whispered but stopped when she went limp and fainted in my arms looking up at the Joker, I smiled innocently and said " See told ya she was gonna faint"

He laughed at this and motioned for me to pick her up and follow him; I did so and followed him into another room, the blonde women quickly following at after The Joker. " Puddin' who is she?" She whined pointing to me.

"Jinx" I greeted holding my hand out for her to take.

She ignored my hand and glared." Icy" I muttered with a chuckle.

"Harley, be a doll and get some rope" The Joker commanded

"But-" she began

"NOW!" He shouted at her, Harley jumped in shock and scampered away.

I sneered and placed a very frightened Barbie on an old beaten up wooden chair and turned to face the Joker, "tell me something, even after I kicked you in the balls how come we've ended up here, working together, and most importantly, how come I'm still alive?" I asked curiously.

"Oh yeah about the kicking me in the balls thing" He stated, his fist flew through the air and hit me square in the jaw. My head twisted to the side from force of impact. I winced in pain clenching my jaw tightly before unclenching, it made a searing cracking sound in the process. I looked back at him " guess I deserved that, huh?"

"I'm keeping you alive because you intrigue and amuse me. It's also good to know that someone gets the message." He murmured darkly.

"Everything burns" You confessed smiling

The Joker smiled back, it was a genuine smile, something that was very rare from him, I expected.

"Exactly" He whispered.

He leaned his head in closer and kissed me lightly; I gently kissed back but pulled away when I heard footsteps getting closer. My stomach did flips, feeling oddly light all of a sudden. Surely it wasn't because of him?

"Puddin I got the rope-...... what's going on?" She re-entered the room but spotted noticing how undeniably close we were stood together. Her eyes brimmed with hate for me and sorrow.

"Nothing" The Joker snapped, yanking the rope from her hands, he quickly tide up Barbie and stormed out of the room. "I swear he's bi-polar or something" I thought with a smile playing on my badly painted lips.

"So where am I sleeping...ugh...what's your name again?" I asked

"Harley Quinn. Pleased to meet cha" She said shaking my hand slightly tighter than I would have liked.

"Follow me" Harley muttered.

She led me to an empty room with nothing but a blanket and a mattress on the floor, the wallpaper was coming off and the carpet had dried blood stains on it, I looked around in wonder " cool...." I said in awe with a grin.

"Thanks Harley" I squealed giving her a big hug.

"Sure thing honey" Harley replied coldly.

She left the room wordlessly, though I felt her sadness radiating off her right up until she shut the door. Damn, that girl was paranoid.

Without taking my clothes and mask off, I laid down on the lumpy old mattress eyeing it warily before doing so, it didn't look hygienic but oh well! Sleep didn't come easy that night, despite my efforts for hours I tossed and turned willing myself to fall asleep. I must have eventually only superseding when the one hundred thousand and fifty second sheep jumped over the fence. I didn't dream that night, not once, which was shocking but I was grateful I had escaped the nightmares for now.
