~5 years later~

"There is no way that actually happened. I remember that being all over the news."

I had just finished telling my friend cassie about my encounter with the joker five years ago. I was finishing up my job at the psychiatric hospital, and helping cassie sort pills for the patients. Tomorrow I would start my new job at Arkham asylum.

"well it did, believe it or not."

Cassie rolled her eyes as she started to put the containers of pills on a nearby shelf. She never believed  anything I said but at least I knew this was true. I shook my head, thinking of how tomorrow I would be in the same place as the joker used to be.

My head shot up as I heard the sound of steps coming down the hall but soon saw our boss round the corner. I rolled my eyes at myself for being so jumpy tonight and picked up a few bottles of pills, bringing them to cassie. But when she turned towards me, she looked like she had seen a ghost.

"get down" she suddenly muttered and I raised an eyebrow at her but got on the ground with her as she began to crawl under one of the tables.

bang. bang.

I knew that sound, It was the sound of a gun going off. I bit my lip as I looked around trying to see something. Suddenly, I heard two voices enter the room.

"So is this it?"

I heard one voice ask. The most I could see was two pairs of legs and shoes, one was wearing blue pants with something written on the side and the other had on black dress pants. Their shoes, however, were almost identical.

"Yeah, look for yourself."

The other unknown voice said, and I watched as the blue pantsed man got closer to the table. I heard two clicks, sounding like someone was opening a briefcase.

"Great. Well, It was a pleasure doing business with you."

bang. boom.

The gun went off once more and the man in the black dress pants fell to the floor. I gasped quickly covering my mouth but then suddenly cassie let out a loud shriek. I tried to cover her mouth, but it was too late. I saw the feet start to move as the voice filled the room and I motioned for cassie to go.

She quickly crawled to the desk in the back and I went in my lab coat pocket, grabbing my switch blade.

"Where are you, deary?" I heard the man say as he walked around the rows of tables. I breathed in and got up looking at the man. I nearly dropped my knife when I saw the green hair.

"y-you're-"

I couldn't speak as I stared at him, The joker. He wore a purple jacket with no shirt and blue sweatpants with the name "Arkham Asylum" on the side in yellow.

"Ah, I finally found you, Deary."

I stared at him shocked, what did he mean? Was he looking for me?

I brought my knife up in front of me as he walked closer. He simply laughed when he saw it.

"Oh dear, you really think you'll be able to stop me with that little thing?"

He was close enough to grab me by my collar as he put his gold and purple gun to my head.I bit my lip looking at him, He was smiling wide as he seemed to stare right into my soul.

"Why are you here?"

"Oh well, thats none of your business now is it?"

He said, tapping the gun on my head as his grin widened.

"Why haven't you killed me yet?"

"Because I need you, Autumn"

I gasped as he said my name.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME AND WHY DO YOU 'NEED' ME?"

I half yelled, gaining more confidence somehow. He laughed.

"to get to old batsy obviously."

He said as if it were obvious.

"now, you're going to come wi-"

I quickly took off as he was speaking, hearing him swear behind me. There was no way that I was going anywhere with that psychopath. 

As I ran out of the room, I was suddenly shot at by who I could only guess to be the jokers henchmen.

"GET HER! ALIVE!"

I heard him yell, as I ran down the halls, dodging as well as I could. Suddenly I turned a corner and was grabbed, my two henchmen.

"LET ME GO!"

I struggled in their arms but they kept a tight grip on me as the joker came up to me smiling, His gun in hand. He put it right up to my head and I gulped, closing my eyes and waiting for the bullet. Suddenly I felt an impact, But it wasn't a bullet.

I opened my eyes as everything started to go black and noticed there was blood on the side of the jokers gun, He had hit me with it. The last thing I heard was him ordering them to take me to the car and laughing like a maniac.

Then everything went black.

*_*_*_*

I groaned as I woke up, my head hurting like a bitch. I was in some kind of bed but as I looked around, I realized this wasn't my room. I quickly sat up, looking around. There were only a bed, a nightstand and a TV in the room. The room also had two windows, but they had bars on them, and there was two doors, One that was metal and one that was wood.

I got up, making my way over to the metal door when suddenly the tv turned to static before the jokers face appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Autumn. How was your sleep?"

He snickered. I made my way back over to the bed and sat down looking at the TV.

"Where am I?"

"You're home, well, your new home. You're in my house and will not be leaving, ever. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Also, I'll be watching you at all times, the only time I won't be watching is when you're in the bathroom. You're free to roam the house, but my guards are around every corner, so don't even think of making a run for it."

I bit my lip looking around, I couldn't believe that this was happening, that I was in the jokers house and would never see Gotham again.

"What do you want with me?"

I asked looking over at the screen, that stupid smile was still plastered on his face.

"Oh Autumn, Many reasons. But I think you know one, don't you remember our little meeting, about 5 years ago? Well, then you know I lost my dear little Harley. Well, I need someone new. I've been watching you for a while deary. That's all ill say for now. HAHA enjoy your stay. BYE BYE!"

He started laughing like a mad man and then the screen turned back to static before switching off.

I shook my head, I knew there was much more behind why i had been captured but I didn't care to find out. I just wanted to get out of here, out of this lunatics nut house.

I looked up at the cameras and scrunched my face up, knowing that he was watching me. I  went into the bathroom, slamming the door and locking it as I sat on the ground. This is where I would stay, He wouldn't get the entertainment of watching me. I slowly started to fall back asleep on the cold linoleum, knowing that there would be no dreams tonight. Only nightmares.

Okay so that's chapter two, I feel like it shit because I'm writing this at 5 am and I haven't slept yet and my mind is going blank. I feel like this book is going in a weird direction, especially the story, so once I get to sleep and time to think, I might change it up a bit, but thanks for reading.
