Married To The Clown

Chapter Fifty Six 'Saved Again'

Athena's POV
I thought he couldn't get to me no more but here I sat petrified as he tried to break down the door. The wood was starting to splinter against the force and I knew it wouldn't be long before he was inside.
What would he do to me?
I was sure my heart was about to claw its way out my chest. Closing my eyes and covering my ears wasn't going to help me in this situation, I needed to think of a plan fast before it was game over. Erin was right the man was much more psychotic now and that shook me to the core. If what he did to me before was light I didn't dare to imagine what was going to happen right now. The scar on my thigh was beginning to throb as all the memories from the past ran through me.

He was nearly in!
For Christ sake Athena do something!
Once my brain connected to body again I finally sprang into action. Without wasting anymore time I threw myself off the bed and sprinted into the bathroom making sure to grab one of the ornaments on the way. It might not be much of a weapon but if he got in I would smash the thing over his head and if it didn't knock him down at least it would give me a few more seconds to think of something else.
Locking the door behind me I stood in front of it and held my ground.
This time I wouldn't piss myself like I did before and be left in a pool of blood, this time I would fight!
Alright Spartacus calm yourself.......

"ATHENAAAAA!!!!!!!" He screamed making my legs almost collapse from underneath me as I heard the door finally shatter and his footsteps stomped through the room.
"Whereeeeee are youuuuuu?" The clown sang turning my room upside down.
I couldn't bring myself to breathe I was too scared, instead I stood frozen weapon in hand.
"You can't hide forever Athena ahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa" that laugh had to be the worst noise to exist.
You knew nothing good was coming whenever you heard it. It was basically a sign that you were about to get fucked up or killed.
A small yelp left my lips as he finally reached the bathroom and began knocking.
Hearing my yelp his laugh rang out once again and I cursed myself for slipping up so badly.
"Knock! Knockkkkkkkkk" he whispered evilly.

Walking towards the door I rested my head against it and sighed.
"Please just go away J, I've had enough! Please just go!" I begged letting out a soft whimper.
"Little pig little pig please let me in" he snarled, his fists now pounding against the door.
Is it bad that I was distracting myself thinking about how much money he would have to pay out for the damages to the room?
Maybe I was as crazy as everyone else here.......

"JUST FUCK OFF YOU IGNORANT BASTARD!" I screamed feeling my anger starting to boil over.
How dare he?!
How dare I let him scare me like this?!
"YOU FUCKING BITCH! LET ME IN!" He roared throwing himself at the door as hard as he could.

End of POV

Aella happily sang as she drove up the drive way.
After Athena asked for space she had went to the best bakery in town to pick her up some treats. Joker had mentioned before how much she loved triple chocolate cake so that's exactly what she got her along with a large strawberry milkshake, hopefully this would cheer her up.
Joker should be doing this for his wife instead of Aella!
Isn't that the reason he wanted her here so he could be a husband again? Obviously not because he had tied her down in the cell block and tortured her, good one clown that was sure to make her love you again.

Aella's happiness suddenly vanished as she noticed ghost boys car in the drive.
Shit he was home!
Snatching up the goodies Aella flew out the car and sprinted towards the house, heart pounding in her chest.
"YOU FUCKING BITCH! LET ME IN!" She heard Joker screamed as she slammed the door open.
"Fuck! Not good! Not good!" She exclaimed dropping everything in her hands and pulling her gun out.
Fuck the treats Athena needed her!
Climbing the stairs as fast as her legs could carry her she rushed straight to Athena's room.

The sight would shock her if she didn't know Joker as well as she did.
The door was in pieces with bloody hand prints covering almost every bit of wood and walking into the room she saw a bloodied Joker slamming himself against the bathroom door.
Without hesitation Aella aimed her gun at his head.
"Do not make me kill you funny man! Back up from the door NOW!" Aella ordered darkly.
"Ahahahahaaaaaa hello there Aella, home so soon?" Ghost boy cackled turning to face her.

He looked completely deranged, his eyes were black and demonic.
He was a man possessed.
"Step away I won't ask again!" Aella demanded finger twitching on the trigger.
"I only wanted to talk to my wifeeeee" Joker purred holding his hands up in defence mocking Aella.
"Well she doesn't want to talk to you! You won't win her love like this you do know that right?! Leave her be!" She spat walking towards him.
That seemed to work as his eyes suddenly became blue again and absolute sadness and desperation ran through them.
"I...I..I'm..sorry" he whimpered letting Jack come through for a second before a twisted grin appeared on his face.

"Oooooooo Harley! Daddy's got a treat for youuuu" he sang walking towards the exit giving Aella a humorous bow as he disappeared.

Athena's POV
I couldn't believe it!
Aella had saved me once again, he had actually done what she asked.
Why did she have such authority over him?
I was now extremely curious, what happened between the two of them in order for this to have this type of relationship?
"You can come out now he's gone" Aella whispered through the door.
Trusting her I slowly unlocked the door and pulled it open, feeling my eyes widen at the sight of my room.
Everything was upside there was no possible way I could stay here.
"Come on you can stay with me tonight" she smiled, weirdly reading my mind.
Nodding my head I let her take my hand and guide me towards her room.

A big sigh of relief escaped my lips as she locked her door and I dropped onto her bed.

"Thank you again!" I exclaimed trying to get myself comfortable.
"Anytime girl" Aella grinned joining me on the bed.
"Can I ask you something?" I whispered hesitantly looking at her with nervous eyes.
"Yeah what's up?" She smiled reassuringly patting my hand.
"How did you meet The Joker?" I questioned frowning slightly.
"It's a very long story so you better get comfortable".............
