Monsters (Pennywise X Reader)

Chapter 12

She noticed that she actually wasn't home, she felt the cozyness and the warmth, but it was all the clown. She was still holding its waist, gripping tightly. She could feel an air draft and it wasn't no longer dark, a few lights were shining not so far away, she could see them with the corner of her eyes. She slowly left its side, looking around the place to see where she was at. There were bleachers surrounding her and people were cheering at a baseball game that was happening at the time. She became confused, why would it want her here? She asked to be home, was it punishing her just from trying to gain information on its enemies? If that was the case, why a baseball game?

"Wh-why are we here?" the woman asks, still shaken up by the last few minutes.

"I want to show you something." it says, dragging her behind the bleachers, to a darker spot than before.

Where they were there was some light, but Pennywise seemed to blend with the shadow. She even had to get closer, as far as to touch his arm with hers to make sure that it was still there. She watched as a small firefly flew out of the darkness and to the front of the bleachers, slower than an old woman going up the stairs. She couldn't see the insect anymore, but some seconds later it came back, but with a little girl, no more than five years old, following it.

That image scared the woman, she knew what it was going to do, she could feel it tremble beside her, feeling her fear grow. However, there was some doubt that it would actually eat the child. (Y/n) looked in the direction where the thing should be, except it was too dark. She asked herself if she was as visible as him. And it seemed that she was, the kid didn't notice her as she got closer and closer. The little girl ran after the light, trying to get it in her hands, but it always flew faster when she got closer to catching it.

The woman wished so hard that it was just playing with the girl, wished that it would only talk to her and joke around, as a normal clown should do, and later on she wished that she wasn't even there to see what was coming.

"What are you gonna do?" she asked the darkness, feeling a pit forming inside her stomach.

The clown didn't respond, watching the kid get closer and closer, readying itself to lure its victim. It grabbed the firefly midair, making its white gloves appear in the light. The little girl was scared at first, jumping a little at the sudden movement coming from the dark. It pulled its hands back, opening his hands close to his face, using the light from the firefly to illuminate its face.

"Hello, Vicky." it says softly, smiling creepily at the child "Isn't that what your friends call you? Vicky? How did I know that? I guess I must be your friend too." it continues, sneakily trying to convince the kid, giggling at the end.

"If you're my friend, why are you hiding in the dark?" she asks, worried eyes travelling over the being in front of her, not being able to identify much.

Its smile falters, slowly turning to a frown.

"You're not my friend. You're scary." she shakes her head, turning her back at it, planning to go back to the boring game from before.

The clown hangs its head, making fake sobs and cries. Getting the attention from the little girl one more time. She turns to look at him, weary, but not as scared as before.

"What are you doing?" (Y/n) asks, looking at the both in front of her, she didn't like where this was going.

"Why are you crying?" the kid asks at the same time as the woman.

The thing looks up, now a more convincing face than it had before. It was compelling and if the woman hadn't known better she would've fell for it, she would've thought that it was just a bullied clown.
