7. Don't Leave Me

CatWomans P.O.V.

I wake up in a warm room, I squinted my eyes and look around. It was my living room. I was on the couch, I can't even remember when I fell asleep but Batman obviously dropped me back at my place.
      Of course he leaves before I can wake up, I look at the clock. 4:52 a.m. I shove my face into the warm fluffy pillow and fall right to sleep.
     "Selina, Selina." I immediately open my eyes finding Ivy at the side of me.
     "Ivy?" I yawn.
     "I need your help." She said, she looked worried. Wait, how did she get in? Why was she here? She hates me.
"Huh? Wait, with what?" I question her as a sit up on my sticky leather couch.
"Harley, I think the Joker has her." Was she delusional? The Joker always has her.
"What do you mean?" I ask rubbing my eyes. I yawn and stare at Ivy suspiciously.
"The Joker, he was mad at Harley the other day. Batman and I caught him just in time before he did anything. She stayed at my house and now she's gone. She left her jester costume at my place, too." She rambled. I got up and stretched.
"She probably just went out, you're paranoid." Like usually.
"Selina, when do I ever ask you for help? This is important can you please just help me." She asked with a scared look on her face.
"Yeah, yeah. Um, what should I do? Help you try to find her? Call up Batman?" Wait, did I say that?
"Well, um I was thinking you look with me." She replied.
"Yeah, sure. When do we start the action?" I asked.
"An hour?" She answered. Gosh it's too early, I looked over at the clock. What? It's already 12? It's still too early.
"Ugh. Fine I'll do it." I say unwillingly. She placed a smile on her face and she walked to the door. Her color was super light, I wonder why.
"Meet me at the park. Be ready!" She slammed the door behind her and left.
Well, this is happening. Why didn't she ask someone else? She hates me with her life. I brewed myself some coffee and took a sip. I walked over to the couch and layed down. A warm room filled with leather furniture isn't the best.
I started to drift off as I lay on the warm sofa and fall asleep.
"Selina, I would do anything for you. If it means you will survive, I will do it for you." He grabbed my arm firmly and placed a kiss on my lips. I didn't want to let go, I don't want to lose him.
"I'm doing this for you. I love you." He fell backwards as his black cape flew over him into the pool of lava. That was the last moment with him.
I start crying like I've never cried before. My legs and arms feel weak, they tremble and I fall to the floor. I can't live without him. I bounce up to my feet, my life would be dead without him. I jump into the flames, it scorches my skin and I scream with pain.
I wake up from my nightmare hot and sweaty. I have tears in my eyes, I wipe them away and try to breath normal. I looked at the time once again. 1:38?! No, I'm late to go see Ivy. Panic starts to fill my body as I rush up the stairs, into my room.
   I try as quickly as I can to get my leather outfit on, the struggle. I get it on and I pull my mask over my head. I'm out the door, I start darting to the park. People stare as I zip through them making my way to Ivy.
      I finally get to the park. I scan it, I don't see Ivy. The sun blares in my eyes as I try to find her. After about 15 minutes trying to find her I decide that she must have went to find Harley, herself.
      She probably went to the Jokers office, I'll head there. As I'm about to enter the building I feel mist dampening my face, I look over me and see Harley. The Joker is squeezing her tight around her arms, whispering in her ear.
     I try to kick him but my legs won't move, I try to punch but my arms won't budge. I look behind me to check if I have cuffs on, nothing. What has he done? I'm trying to wiggle out of whatever I'm in.
     He takes Harley by the neck. He squeezes as hard as he can, pulling her up, laughing louder than I've ever heard. She struggles to breathe. She drops from his hands, dead. I scream and try to move, again.
     It's hopeless, my friend is dead. I cry, feeling each tear fall down my skin onto my suit, not being able to wipe them away.
     The Joker runs away like the coward that he is. My friend is gone, and Ivy won't be able to even live without her. Ivy's gonna kill me, she's gonna kill him. I want to kill him, why has he done this to her? My tears start getting worse, filling up my eyes until I can't see anymore.
    It's better that I can't because then I can't see Harley lying on the floor. I can't close my eyes, and my tears fall away. I'm forced to look at poor Harley on the floor. Don't leave me Harley.
