Sweet whispers

So tell me, just who are you? 

She whispered into his ear in her sweet voice but this time it held a touch of malice 

Asher was stunned, he couldn't react. 

You blew it kid, were dead, dead I tell you 

She saw that he was expressionless, then she held his hand intertwining her fingers in his, then she walked off pulling him along as she walked up the steps 

Asher couldn't say anything, he was trying to figure out his way out of this then He said 

What do you mean who am I? I'm your husband. 

She shushed him, she was being cautious, in case Allison was watching them. 

Let's talk inside. 

She pulled him inside and Asher kept silent. She gave her bags to the servants and told them to lead her to their room. 

When they got there, she looked delighted. 

It's just how I like it. 

She let's go off Asher and dived on the bed

Just drop the bags there, and leave. We won't be having anything and thank you very much, she said. 

The servant dropped the bag and closed the door behind him, Asher just stood there, he couldn't move nor could he say a word. 

Asher say something! say anything!

So honey 

She turned and said 

Yes 

Ahh… What do you mean by who am I, of course you know I'm your husband 

She drop her face into a pillow 

No you're not were not married yet, and from what it seems like we'll never will…she grumbled a little then said…. Mr imposter if you put me in any more danger I'll kill you. 

Asher gulped 

…. And quite trying to be him, so where are the cards 

What cards 

Does Allison have them? 

Yes but I don't understand,? 

What don't you understand? 

Why are you like this? 

How I'm I? 

Asher was stunned by her reaction, he thought she'd know what he meant 

You're husband just died

Do you have any idea what you've roped yourself into? 

What? 

Bearing that face, puts a large target on your back, Ahh… What's your name I can't call you by his name

Its Asher 

I've done my grieving now. I seek self preservation. We'll all be dead here by the morning. If you don't get those cards from Allison, don't you understand? 

No I don't, what's going on? 

What's going on? The one life line you had, I mean my husband had was the card of the jagged heart. 

What? 

It's intertwines his life force with does of the high family that's the reason they can't die you'd have to kill him before you can kill them

What? 

But now that his dead they think we broke it off, the spell I mean 

I don't understand 

What don't you understand, my husband was better off dead, you just had to go take his face, you stupid idiot and now you've been seen, words spread and they are coming. 

You better get that card from Allison or all hell will break loose.

The high family huh You've heard of them? Asher asks Joker but he says it out loud 

Who are you talking to? 

no one? 

Joker chuckles then begins to speak 

The high family are ruthless crime lords, they act against the high commission and are the one who distribute the cards and elixium. They're the reason common folks like you get any powers. 

Asher you've got to be careful of her, she not normal, she'd been trying to cast a spell on you ever since she stepped here ask her about the baby

What about the baby! 

What baby? 

Weren't you having a baby? 

She look confused, 

Never mind 

You could've been bald Asher, if you were we wouldn't be in this mess right now. 

I'm not even sure I know what is going on anymore. Let's unpack this whole thing, sit down. 

Asher sat on the bed just by her side and Joker became talking. 

So the guy you're pretending to be, has affiliations to the high family, practically keeping them alive and invincible so now that you're dead they'll think your double crossed them because you're still alive.. 

Alright I got it, so what do we do? 

From what I know of the family, there's not much to be known, you know too much and that becomes the death of you…. Allison is the real key in this… We have to figure out what he knows and get those cards

And how do you suppose I do that? 

Well you can just go talk to him 

A soft voice spoke in his mind 

What! 

Asher turn to her,

How are you in my head 

It's poor manners not to invite one to a party, especially when I'm this close. 

My, my my, it's the jester. 

She spoke with a smile And a quiet menace in her voice. 

Maybe you're not a worthless piece of junk after all…. So it took so long to break into your mind, you've got tight security, state of the art 

That would be me, Joker said 

Get out of my head lady. 

Is that what you are, a black mess? She said referring to his shadow form

What!? Don't call me that 

I'll call you whatever I want, your wearing my dead husband's face 

Get out already! 

Why don't you bring the party outside

What are your plans, Joker asked her 

Finally an adult

Hey! tell her to get out of my head 

I've got quite a few plans, if you care to listen?

A crow landed on the gates of the Windsor manor, it flapped its wings and screeched then a man knocked on the gates. 

No, I can't give Allison the jester card, it's not possible 

Well then, I was hoping you'd get all three but as is, all we need now is the bleeding heart. 

What's that? 

The card that binds you to them, it's been your source of wealthy and power up until know, along with the other too you were unstoppable

And pray tell How did Allison manage to do stop him, joker said 

She looked at him, seeming a little annoyed by his remarks 

Every card has a flaw, he found his 

Speak for yourself, Joker said. I'm faultless. 

And what was it? 

That's not important now what is… 

There's a knock on the door from one of the servants.

She turned and said 

What is it? 

A Mr crowe is here for you sir, he says it's urgent 

Crowe! 

They all said in shock
