Mad Love

Chapter 10

I took off the white face paint and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked exhausted and I knew that if I didn't sleep soon I would stay looking like that all day. Just then I realized that I had forgotten to get any clothing besides my costume! I felt so stupid, the joker most likely wouldn't lend me any clothes and that meant that I was stuck wearing this costume forever.
I exited the bathroom and was astonished to see the joker was missing and in his place was an oversized ripped t-shirt that looked very old. It was a dark grey but smelled surprisingly clean. I quickly checked the room just to make sure that no one was secretly spying on me, I sighed as I found the room empty and undressed. The suit was spandex and pretty easy to take off in fact the whole costume was easy! After removing the suit I pulled on the oversized shirt that could be considered as a night gown and contemplated on whether or not to go to bed or look for the joker. Curiosity getting the best of me, I left the joker's bedroom and found myself in a dark hallway. There were two staircases, one leading up and one leading down. I decided to take the one leading down because I was more familiar with where it was leading than the one going up.
As I descended the stairs I could faintly hear laughing and the sound of pounding. I saw a door around the corner with light shining from through the crack under the door. The door was slightly open sand I peered in to see two men beating someone who was tied in a chair. There were many surgical tools on various tables surrounding them and most of them looked used. I cringed and decided that I would just go back to bed, there was no point in looking for the joker since it was almost 4 am. I yawned and went back to the jokers room and didn't think twice about getting into the bed.

My eyes opened and were greeted by the sun shining through the windows. Everything that had occurred felt like a weird dream. I then rolled over to look at the clock, it read 11:45 am. I groaned and sat up, soar from the previous events.
"Your not a very peaceful sleeper." I gasped, surprised by the joker's sudden comment.
"When did you get here?" I asked clutching my chest and breathing hard.
"A couple hours ago, your a pretty loud sleep talker, you know that?" He gave a small smirk and I rolled my eyes.
"I don't recall ever having a history of talking in my sleep." I got out of bed and grabbed my costume that was lying on the floor and headed to the bathroom. Upon entering I wondered what kind of things the day would hold.
