Chapter 11 | Harlequin

"Wait." Debby pointed her finger in the air, thinking hard as she analysed me from top to bottom. "Ah!" She snapped her fingers and inmediately got to work, pulling my hair into two ponytails on either side of my head.

"What are ya doing?" I asked.

"Hold on." Debby said and after a few minutes of painful hair pulling, she clapped her hands and squealed happily sounding somewhere between a dying hamster and a constipated squirrel. I cringed and rolled my eyes.

She pulled me up by my arms and held me infront of the mirror and I saw myself, in a new outfit. A pale pink crop top; matching my hair, and blue tight jeans; which matched my blue hair, with strapped black high heels. My hair was separated into two ponytails, making me look like a young girl. Like a doll that young children play with.

Debby, Ivy and I had gone shopping today. They wanted me to have a makeover. So that, when he sees me, they think that he will calm down due to prettiness. I don't know if it is going to work, but it doesn't hurt to try?

Before you ask me, I was my own self, wearing Ivy's clothes and Ivy transformed to a normal human being. Debby was herself and she just hid her pale blue hair and skin with full-sleeves.

It was evening by now and its time to meet him, to call him, so they were getting me ready.

"I have an idea." I said, a light bulb hanging over my head and grabbed the make-up on the table. Taking some blue, I dabbed it softly on my left eye and did the same with the other eye, but with pink colour.

Now, I looked perfect and crazy. I felt like myself. My brand new self and I smiled goofily at the mirror, happy with the way I look.

"Behold!" Ivy hollered from behind. "The Queen Of Gotham City!"

"Yeah!" Debby yelled, cheering and clapping for me and I smiled at the both of them.

"Harley, The Queen." Debby said, and did a curtsy at me, while giving me a wink.

"Harlequin." Ivy said out of a sudden and Debby and I looked at her out of confusion as I narrowed my eyes at her.

"What?"

"Harlequin. The Clown's assistant?" Ivy paused. "Work with your name and you get Harley Quinn!"

"That is so cool." Debby said. "Its like you guys were made for each other." She started squealing and fangirling and I blushed, looking at myself in the mirror, pushing a strand of hair away from my face.

"Harley Quinn." I muttered under my breath. "I love it."

"Good." Debby said. "Its time Harley. He has already made enough chaos since last night, please don't wait until he burns the city down."

Joker has been bringing chaos all over the streets of Gotham, killing victims for fun, burning apartments in random, restaurants, and hospitals. Obviously, he is trying to give me a message.

My eyes flickered unconsciously towards the T.V for the umpteenth time and I sighed as I looked at another one of his doing, a burnt down local Cafè.

I felt tingles through my body as I picked up my phone, staring at it in extreme anxiousness. I opened it, and immeditely tons of notifications popped in my phone. When it was finally done, I looked closely and saw he had sent me over hundred messages and called me more than thirty times.

My heart swelled at this and I smiled to myself as I read his messages.

WHERE THE FÜCK ARE YA?

Harley baby, tell me.

FÜCKING TELL ME!

I am searching for you and I am burning places down ya know?

FÜCK HARLEY. FÜCKING REPLY ME. HAVE YOUR THUMBS FALLEN OFF?

I covered my mouth to stop myself from laughing at his bipolar messages. Oh, he is definitely angry all right. Pressing down on the reply button, I waited for a few moments, calming my nerves down and then started typing.

I am in front of Haley Life, a flower shop down North street.

Pressing the sent button, I stuffed the phone into the pocket of my jeans and turned around to look at both of my friends. They gave me a warm smile and Debby gave me a thumbs up.

"Call us once you reach home." Debby said. I nodded silently.

I felt vibration in my pocket and stiffened, biting my lips in anticipation. What did he send me? Curiousity was killing me and I grabbed the phone out of my pocket, and looked down at the message.

I never thought in my life that a simple message could be this scary.

I am on my way.

It was simple but that simple sentence sent my nerves to an overdrive and I could imagine his devious grin right at the end of the sentence, followed by a low growl.

Oh, how I missed him.

He is coming for me.

I better be there.

With a quick wave and words of encouragement from them, I dashed out of the place and walked along the pavement, my high-heels clacking in the hard concrete as I made my way slowly towards the end of the street.

Snow was falling down and it had just started. In tiny flakes, covering the road, a thin layer on it, my hands went to my side, rubbing them and I know that I am not feeling as cold as I am supposed to feel. My powers were helping me feel a little warm.

I shivered, my eyes unconsciously flickered towards the empty and silent road, waiting for the loud entry of a purple lamborghini.

The street was silent, except for the click-and-clack of my heels and the barking of a stray dog far away.

The cold and silent night was my only comfort and my thoughts were all over the places. I looked down at my feet, looking at them walk in sync, refusing to look at the road. Voices screamed in my head, some telling me to calm down, others telling me scary things that he might do to me.

My thoughts were broken with a loud sound of a car and I looked up, in wide eyes. My walking slowed down, coming to a halt as I stared at the familiar car. The engine purred and revved loudly through the silent night, making its grand entrance.

The purple lamborghini made its way towards me, stopping to my side. My heart pounded hard in my chest, threatening to come out. I felt the throbbing in my ear. I couldn't feel the cold anymore and I was highly anxious, biting my lip harder, almost drawing blood. I turned towards the car, bracing myself for whatever it is that I am about to face.

I can do this.

We can do this.

Face it like a woman Harley.

It was silent for a few seconds, through the cold night. I could hear my heartbeat in my ears. The door to the shining purple car opened and I sucked in a sharp breath.
