sweetcandygirl | How Far Will You Fall.... (open prose)

Harley stared up at the empty ceiling above her. A few hours ago, she had taken down the Christmas decorations. And gave herself access to her aerial silks again. It was snowing lightly outside... but a storm was quietly brewing on the horizon. There was a chill in the air.

She turned on some music, and then with an gymnast ring secured around her waist, Harley climbed up one of the silks. She let herself go.... just moving to the music, letting her body move naturally to the beat.

Inches above the ground, Harley let herself spin and spin in the ring, her foot secured onto one silk. Her chaotic mind reflecting on everything that had happened in the past year. Thinking of the changes made in her life and the new friends that she had made. And her connections to her world, and how they still had an impact in her life.

The image of killing Edwin was still clear in her mind... her deepest desire that it had been Joker instead.

She still did not know what Joker had planned... in the twisted game where Edwin had pretended to be her ex-lover. But knew that the game was not done yet.

Her mind went to Loki... and she sat in her ring, and swung on the silks for a moment. It was just as dangerous game that she was playing right now...

Harley had promised herself when she had left Joker that she was done playing those kind of games. But here she was. Too afraid to admit what is real. Too scared that it could be fake... another fantasy that would never become true.

She can no longer take the safe way out... she was a risk taker. And this was something way too important not to take a risk on.

It was time to show all her cards and accept the fate of the deal. Harley smiled, and returned to her silks... She felt free and alive.
