It was nine o'clock, one hour before they had to preform the ritual, and Joker was already awake. He hadn't awaken Harley yet, for she needed to preserve all her strength, especially since he had taken some blood.

He mentally kicked himself. Why did he drink from her? Why couldn't he have waited a few more hours so she could've been better rested?

He couldn't worry about that now. He had to collect the items for the ritual before Harley woke up. He only needed a few things. He needed a little bit of food and a drink for Harley, some kind of bondage material to tie Harley down so she couldn't hurt herself, and candles to light when the ritual began.

He walked out of their bedroom and downstairs to the kitchen, quickly grabbing a glass of milk and a turkey sandwich from the refrigerator.

When he opened the door back to their bedroom, he saw Harley sitting on the end of the bed. He set the food items on the bedside table and walked over to Harley.

"How are you feeling, Harley?" Joker asked, setting down on the bed beside her.

"I still feel a bit shaky, but I'll be alright. When are we gonna start the ritual, Mistah J?"

"Soon, Harls. I just have to arrange everything in their proper orders. I need you to eat this turkey sandwich and drink this milk. You need all the strength you can get. Can you do that for me?"

"Sure, Puddin'." Harley picked up the food and began to eat while Joker tied silk scarves to the bed posts.

He walked over to their closet and took out seven red candles. He placed two on the bedside table, one resembling Harley, and the other himself. The other five resembled each of Harley's five senses, for each of them would be enhanced when the ritual was finished.

After Harley had finished her meal, Joker cleaned up the containers. He then asked Harley to lay on the bed, which she did willingly.

"I'm going to need to remove your clothes for you, Harley. Are you ok with that?" Joker asked moving to her side.

"Go ahead, Sweetie." Joker nodded. He quickly removed her her top, shorts and undergarments, leaving her bare before him.

He raked his hungry gaze over her beautiful body, wanting to touch her everywhere. Her beautiful golden locks spread across the sheets like a halo. Her luscious, delicate skin glowing vibrantly. Her ocean blue eyes so deep, he was afraid he'd drowned in them if he stared too long.

He had to restrain himself, though, for if he got too excited, he wouldn't be able to control himself and they would completely disregard the ritual.

He took her delicate wrist and tied it to the bed post with one of the scarves he had brought out. He did the same with her other wrist and both her ankles. He got up and pulled out a match, lighting each candle.

He walked back over to Harley and climbed onto the bed overtop of her. He checked the clock on the wall and saw that they had to begin.

"Are you sure about this, Harley? We don't have to do this," Joker asked, making sure she knew she had a way out.

"I'm positive, Mistah J. I'd do anything for you. I love you," Harley said, smiling up at him.

"I love you, too."

Joker looked down into her eyes, seeing no fear. Trust shown completely up at him. He lowered his mouth down to the delicate flesh on her neck, kissing it tenderly.

As the clock struck ten, Joker sank his fangs deep into Harley's creamy flesh, ripping a long, painful scream from her.

Joker sucked large amounts of Harley's blood in, loving the feel of the warmth it left as it traveled down his throat. As Joker drank more of Harley's wonderful blood, he gripped onto her shoulders, pulling her tighter against him.

The pain of Joker's bite slowly went away, and a wonderful pleasure built up inside of Harley. She tried to grab onto him, but remembered her hands were tied down. She let out a frustrated groan.

She could feel sleep pulling her down, and, with one final moan, she let the darkness claim her.

Joker felt a tug in his stomach, indicating he had consumed enough. He slowly pulled his fangs out of Harley's flesh and raised his head, only to find her unconscious. He smiled down at her. She truly was beautiful when she slept.

He pulled the covers up around them, and snuggled in closer to her cold body, waiting for her to awaken so they could complete the ritual.
