Arika's pov

I have a plan to escape if I ever want to see that boy but it's going to take a while and some good acting. Maybe if I act like my father, he might trust me and let me out. It's possible he might also let me see the outside. A better chance to escape.

I started to laugh like crazy just like my father. I laugh for a while. Then I heard the door open and the lights turn on. As my father approach the cage I soften my laugh into a giggle. He stop in front of the cage door and bends down. "Why are you laughing Arika?", he said in a calm voice.

I look into his eyes deeply. "I just want to play,papa." I never call my father papa so it sounded weird coming from me.

He looked at me with his crazy smile. "What do you want to play?" He asked.

"I want to play tag can the knife be it?" I said while giggling.

My father has a big grin on his face. "Can papa play too?" He ask.

"Of course papa. You'll be in my team." I kept on giggling and smiling a big grin. He stood up and took out the keys. He unlock the door and open it gesturing me to get out.

As I did I have a big grin and wild looking eyes as I predict. I look at my father and he smiles big. "Follow me my dear, I don't want you getting caught by batman or some other superhero." He headed out the door and I follow close my chains rattling.

After a couple of turns we walked into a room. I look around and guess it is his room. A queen size bed is in the middle of the room and dressers and a closet is on the left side. The right side the walls are covered in knives and door is there probably the bathroom. I look at my father and saw him in the closet. "Aaahhhh here it is." My father came out with a costume in hand. He lay it on the bed and look at me. "Put this on Arika." I look down at my chains. I held my hands in front of my face and rattle my chains.

I giggled as i saw his face. "Oh right. I do apologize my dear." I just giggled again. He unlock my chains and got out of the room. I rubbed my wrist and saw a little bit of cuts and blood same with my ankles. I walk up to the bed and saw a half black half red suit and a jokers hat.

I finish dressing into the costume my father gave me. I look at myself in the mirror. I look what to be a teenage girl with a costume on. My blue eyes looking calm and my black hair now straight and not tied into knots. I sigh then i started to widen my eyes like a mad man and i grew a big grin with my teeth showing. I went to the right wall and look at what I could get. Then I saw a pair of crescent moon knife.

I grab them and went out the door. My father stood across the door smiling. "Arika you look beautiful. Just like your mother." I was shock he never talk about my mother i don't even know her name.

I quickly hid the shock and giggle. "Thank you papa." He walk down the hallway and i follow. Knowing i would be free made it easier to smile. After a while i saw a blue door with the word exit on it. My father open it and light pour through him. I cover my eyes. I got use to the light and remove my hands. I saw the blue sky.

I look around and saw we were in an alleyway. "I guess we're early." I look at him.

"Lets start early then."

My father look at me smiling. "Good idea, Arika."
