I'm doing very well nanakon thank you so much for everything. Especially for waiting for me and being there for me. It means a lot to me.

Chapter 5

He carried her to a beat up car and set her in. More like threw her in her opinion. He reached in front of her and buckled her in quickly. She was dazed and her stomach growled louder then before. She held her stomach in her arms as a sharp pain racked through her body. At first she thought she was being split open and then it passed. The Joker got in on his side of the car and started it before licking his lips and looking behind him pulled out of the drive way. She started to drift into a deep slumber.

She was in front of the movie theatres ready to buy a ticket when she realized that she didn't have any money in her wallet. She found a guide that knew her way through the bridge that would lead her home. A young boy decided to come with the them, walking across the bridge as well. At a small pit stop he handed her a piece of paper she couldn't read. And then the guide came out of the bathroom and saw the card and told him to stay away from me. I couldn't understand why. And when I asked what it meant she didn't reply. We left him at the bathroom on the bridge and the guide finished leading me off the bridge before quitting her job. I had later on heard that she had been one of the best guides on the bridge and a few months later I came to cross the bridge for the second time. The only way to cross the bridge aside from walking was by car. Which I had always taken unless I couldn't afford it. Halfway across I saw something pale in the water and racing around to the other side I found, the young mans dead body, blood leaking from his face.

"He figured you'd eventually come back, so he waited and when the wait became to much to bare, he killed himself. It's your fault, everyone you come to know dies. It's your fault. Or it will be…" a unfamiliar voice echoed all around me. And then all there was, was darkness.

I woke with a start as the Joker slapped me rather hard in the face. Getting my full attention.

"What?" I yelled sitting up in the car seat.

The car had stopped and the sun began to set, letting me know it was rather late. I had slept all day. I looked past the Joker and saw a small alley way that was lite with neon lighting. Two men stood in the alleyway. Looking at the Joker curiously.

"We're here. Time to go inside." he growled. I could hear the anger in his voice and moved to stand, on shaky legs. Feeling slightly more energetic then before she was able to walk mostly on her own this time. They reached the two men in the alley and the Joker gave one man a wad of bills before smiling and the man stepped aside. I clung to the Joker as we walked by the two men, their staring and lust filled eyes making me feel uncomfortable. Walking by wasn't so bad it was once the two had passed that she felt a sharp smack to her bare bottom that made her jump and scream. The Joker giggled and looked back at the man he had not paid.

"Nice girl." he said and then turned back around to do his work.

Shaking against him, I felt his chest still heaving as he held the mad cackles in. he pulled me closer to him and walked me into the small hallway that branched out into a room full of men. As we entered, everyones eyes fell on me and I quickly let go of the Joker's coat before attempting to walk back to the car. But I wasn;t fast enough, the Joker's arm slide around my waist and he pulled me to him.

"Behave or I'll have to make another tape for Gotham news." he growled in my ear. His breath was rancid, making my gag, and then I started dry heaving, but without anything in my stomach to throw up for at least two days, nothing came up.

He watched me with amusement in his eyes and once I had finished heaving her swung me around, making me dizzy. We walked through several tables full of men until we reached an empty one.

"I have some business to attend so uh- you stay here and I'll uh- take care of it." he purred.

I looked at him with utter horror in my face. Did he not know what he was doing. He had just placed a bunny with a pack of wolves and he didn't really seem to care.

He got up and gave the bartender a twenty and then looked at me before saying something to the bartender. He nodded and the Joker waved at me before leaving. I watched him walk out with a sick twisting feeling in stomach.

I jumped as a hot plate of steaming, food was placed in front of me. The aroma filling my nose and making my stomach growl so loud the two men next to me looked over before laughing.

"The Joker told me you hadn't eaten in three days. Here it's on the house." the bartender said before moving back to the bar where he worked.

I stared at the food and began to eat it slowly knowing if I ate to fast I could hurt myself. I couldn't finish the plate. The food seemed to grow as I ate and my stomach now full and content refused to hold anything else. And just like the food that had been placed before me, a cup of water appeared. I smiled and thanked the bartender. I began to feel better and safer in my environment that the Joker had left me in since the men had finally stopped staring and minding their own business.

After a few moments, the dim lights in the room started to get brighter and brighter, hurting my eyes. My head began to pound and shadows moved, I stood and asked the bartender where the bathroom was and as I wobbled towards the area he had indicated, I was stopped by two pairs of rather strong arms and then everything went black.

Someone had spiked my drink, and with no one to protect me, I knew I was in for something bad.
