I don't see Joker for almost 24 hours. It was boring I had nothing to do except walk around, nap, eat, and shower. I was tempted to try and escape but I kept hearing some of Joker's men walking around in the hallway so I didn't want to tempt fate. I hate that I kept wanting to see Joker but he was my only form of human interaction and I could use even a few minutes of that.

When he does finally show up I'm on the floor of the living room stretching just to have something to do. After he enters the room he stares at me like I'm his prized possession, it almost reminds me of how Jack used to stare at me but I'm sure that I'm just imagining it. Once he's been standing there for about thirty seconds just staring at me I finally say, "Do you need something?"

This finally breaks him out of his trance and he clears his throat. "Get up, you're coming with me."

Fear floods through my body and I shakily stand up not wanting to anger him. "Can I ask where we are going?"

Joker doesn't answer and just grabs my arm with his gloved hand and starts dragging me out of the room. He leads us to the elevator and presses the button to go up. While we are waiting for the elevator to get to us some of his men walk by us and I can feel them admiring me. One of them even does a cat call whistle, that sets Joker off. Without warning he pulls out a gun from his jacket and shoots the guy who whistled in the leg. The man falls in pain and I scream in surprise and fear. The guy the man was walking with starts picking up the injured man probably to go get him medical attention. I dare to look at Joker and there's an evil look on his face. Finally, the elevator opens and he drags us in. Once in he turns me to him and grabs my head in his hands, "You are mine and only mine. Do you understand that?"

I nod too scared to speak. His eyes dart to my lips and I can see him trying to keep restraint. The doors to the elevator finally reopen and he pulls me out by my wrist. We turn left and he leads me down two doors before he opens it. Joker and I walk in and the room looks similar to the one he took me out of except there are more things in it. Wait... Those are my things! I go over to where there are some movies stacked up by the TV and these are definitely from my apartment. I look over to Joker, "where are you in my apartment?"

He gives me an evil grin, "I was. You're stuck with me now so I thought I might as well make a homey place for you to live." My face pales and I turn away from him so I can keep looking around, there are pictures that I had in my apartment scattered around the living room area. I continue to the bedroom and see that my books are here too, I guess that fixes my boredom issue. Joker appears in the doorway, "Your clothes are in the drawers too so feel free to get changed."

I send him a glare. "I think I'm good right now. You're even more delusional than I thought  if you thought I would change in front of you."

He lets out a laugh, "Oh you will one day, I have a couple of cards up my sleeve that will make you love me."

"Uh huh sure you do. If billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne couldn't do it I doubt you can."

Joker walks up to me and puts his hand under my chin, "Well princess, I know things that even Bruce Wayne doesn't." My heart stills when he calls me princess, that was Jack's nickname for me. I've never told anyone that so there's no way in hell Joker should know that.

Slowly I back away from him and my back hits the wall. I can see that he also has a shocked look on his face. I watch him swallow before he clears his throat, "Well enjoy your new room, I'll let you get settled in, my room is right next door so don't try anything." Before I can respond he's gone. I slide down the wall till I'm sitting and try and figure out what the fuck just happened.
