The Tragedy of Comedy (Arthur/Joker x Main Character)

17: I'll Make You Mine

~"Follow me"~

I weatherly follow behind her,"we keep our facilitated patients in a secluded area" she explains," we make sure to keep our therapeutic and facilitated one's separate at all times".

She leads us down a long hallway,which ends at a large metallic door. She takes out a large key from her pocket,and proceeds to unlock it.

"I can't believe I'm doing this~" I hear her mumble to herself,her hand hesitantly making its way on the doorknob,and slowly turning it open.

"This is where we keep those who are deemed...
Instable" She says,"we never allow anyone in this part of the building,I want you to stay as close to me as possible,these people have done....unspeakable things".

I nod my head,"yea ma'am".

We make our way down the hall, I can hear screams,bangs,scratching upon walls, and I feel myself become sick to my stomach.

"This place is a nightmare~" I whisper, clutching onto Dr.Kane's elbow.

"I thought the same thing my first day here" she told me.

I didn't dare look at the cells,strictly forcing my gaze to the rusted-aged floor.

"He's in here" she says,stopping at a cell door. She takes out a key,and unlocks it.
She back up,and nudges her head for me to proceed. I let out a shaky breath,"thank you so much doctor~" I exhale,"your the best~".

She smiles,nodding her head.

I put a shaking hand on the doorknob,feeling the cold metal lightly numbing my palm. I close my eyes,turn the knob, and make my way inside.

"Smile,though your heart is a-aching...." I hear familiar singing echo through the tiny cell.

"Smile even though it's breaking..."

There I see Arthur,he's wearing a black and white striped jumpsuit. He is laying against the wall,his head in his arms as his eyes were gently closed.

His voice seemed so,melancholy

I notice him stop his beautiful singing, and I decide to tag along.

"When there are clooouds~" I gently sing,"in the skyyy,you'll get by".

His eyes go wide,and he slowly lifts his head from his arms,turning to meet my gaze with his innocent blue eyes.

He stands up from his seat,slowly making his way towards me,staring at me with utter disbelief.

"Charlotte~!" He cries out,lunging towards me."Arthur~!" I gasp,our bodies hugging each other so tightly.

"I-I missed you so much~" he cries,his face buried in the crook of my neck,"i-i thought I was never going to see you again!"

"I missed you too~" I smile,hugging him for dear life.

"How did you find me?" He asks," Dr.Kane let me see you" I tell him,"I'll try to come visit you as much as possible".

"I can't stand it" he tells me,"just staying here makes me feel worse,they drug me with these pills that make my body feel numb,and tie me to a chair that shoots electric shocks through my brain. I can feel it..."

"Feel what...?" I question

"I can feel my true self....he's drawing near, I can feel these thoughts running through my brain. I feel myself becoming stronger... stranger....".

He leans over my ear,his hot breath giving me chills up my spine.

"And I like it~"

I back away from him,"Arthur..." I mumble,
"This isn't you,something's....wrong".

"No~" he gasps,"something's right, don't you see,this is who I was meant to be,this is what I was meant to do!"

"Meant to be who?" I ask,looking at him with wide eyes.

"The Joker"

"Stop it" I tell him," you are not the joker, your name is Arthur Fleck, you are forty-five years old,your favorite color is green,you have a little birthmark on your lip that many confuse for a scar, you make me laugh no matter what,and finally...you are my best friend in this miserable world".

He smiles,and gently caresses my face.

"Charlotte,Charlotte,Charlotte~" he coos,that kind smile slowly morphing into a sinister one.

I feel his hand move down to my chin,lightly gripping it.

I look down to the floor,not daring to gaze upon his eyes.

"Look at me~" he hisses,moving my head in an attempt to get me to stare into those dark sinister eyes.

He chuckles grimly

"Why so serious~?"

I push him away from me,he tumbled to the floor,laughing like a lunatic.

"One day Little miss~" he chuckles,"one day you'll understand".

"I'll never be like you" I tell him," you had your chance to change,and I'm sorry I couldn't prevent what you have become,but you need help Arthur....you need to be here".

"Don't talk like them" he says,standing to his feet and waving his hand,"we both know your not like them, we both know...that you are just like me,tired of the world,wanting to change it".

He grabs my face,"join me Charlotte~" he whispers,"join me... and together, we can rule Gotham city, as king and queen".

"I'll never be your queen" I tell him," You need help,I'll be here for you every step of the way, I'll visit you every week,I'll-"

He forces a hand on my mouth," I love you so much Charlotte~" he whispers," and I will never stop loving you,no matter where you are or where you'll go,I'll find you. One way or another,I'll make you mine, and together we will rule Gotham,whether you like it or not".

I back away from him,"Goodbye Arthur" I tell him,making my way to the door," I hope you get better,I really,really hope you get better".

Just as I shut the door behind me, I heard something that made my blood run cold.

~"We'll See......Ha ha ha ha.... aaahahahahaha!
AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"~
