Harley's Quest

Chapter 9

Harley woke up and sighed. She stood up and stretched then froze as she heard something rustle the bushes in the distance. Suddenly a vine wrapped around her and a figure stepped out of the still slightly shadowed woods.

"Harl?" Asked a familiar woman's voice that came from the figure in the shadows.

"Red?!" Harley asked in shock and relief. Sure enough Pamala Isley stepped out of the shadows. "Oh it's so good to see you." Harley said smiling.

"Good to see you too." Ivy said grinning. Her vines let go of Harley who once she was released by the vines she ran to hug Ivy.

"I need your help." Harley said.

Ivy looked at her and raised an eyebrow "What do you need my help for?" She asked.

"One of the other students from my school went missing a couple days ago." Harley explained.

Ivy nodded "Alright I'll help you but you have to do something for me first." She said

Harley nodded "Anything. What is it?" She replied

"I want a wand for myself." Ivy said and Harley blinked a little in surprise before replying "Alright."

Harley waved her wand and one of Ivy's vines shrunk into a wand with brilliant pink flowers and oak leaves decorating it.

Ivy looked it over and nodded with approval.

As her and Harley traveled they caught up on what had been going on in their lives. Ivy told Harley what had happened in Gotham since she left and Harley told Ivy what she had been up to at Hogwarts as well as showing her some of the spells she learned.

"Wow Harley you've really become good at magic." Ivy said

Harley smiled "Yea hopefully it will help me pull off some new heists when i get back home." She said although something in her eyes had become sad.

"What's wrong?" Ivy asked looking at Harley. She could always tell when something was bothering her.

"The student that went missing was someone I really cared about." Harley said softly.

Ivy looked a little surprised and raised her eye brows. "Really? How close where you two?" She asked.

Harley bit her lip and said "Very, he actually went missing right after we had sex." She wondered how Ivy would react to this.

"Oh. Why were you two out here in this forest anyway?" Ivy asked curious what the story behind their night in the woods.

"We made a dare that we couldn't last one night out here without killing each other. Then things happened and we couldn't help sleeping with together." Harley explained with a sigh.

"Wow Harl. You must feel awful." Ivy said looking at Harley who nodded.

"I just hope he's alright." Harley said looking worried. As they trudged on it began to rain.

"C'mon Harl's we have to stop and make camp." Ivy said after what seemed like hours walking in the rain.

Harley nodded heavily and the two of them made camp in a cave that was near a waterfall. Harley cast a spell to make sure the waterfall wouldn't flood the area so their shelter wouldn't wash away.

Ivy looked at her and smiled "It's so nice to have you with me again. I missed you a lot, Harl'." she said lovingly.

Harley smiled at the older red haired woman. "Its funny I was just about to say the same thing." she said and beamed at Ivy.

"You never told me, how did J react to you staying here for school?" Ivy asked looking at Harley.

Harley's face turned dark almost cold. "He said if I chose to stay for school, not to bother coming back." she said not looking up.
