Chester & Ashly: Book 1

Chapter 1: Changing

(Pg. 1) PART ONE:

It has been 10yrs now since I've met Chester, and starting today he's been acting more dangerous, but not only the people above the sewer, but to me. And it was all because I made a simple mistake, I swore to myself that I would be more confident telling him everything; yes I mean EVERYTHING, secrets, lies, truths, etc. When I first met him I was only 4yrs old, okay yeah I know that's very young but for my age... how do I put this? I was very quote on quote "advanced," like I was able to speak VERY clearly, think with reason, and I knew a lot because of my obsession with RESEARCH. Anyway, a week has past and I had a horrible, no, PETRIFYING-WAKING nightmare. It was about Chester for some ODD reason, I'm not saying what it is because its too much for me to explain, anyway's Chester awoke and he noticed I was scared half to death so he asked me,

(CHESTER) Ashly? W-what happened, are you okay?

And the thing is...he wasn't the sweetheart he is now, like he himself was still learning how to treat a human, orphan girl such as myself. I didn't nor couldn't tell him what my nightmare was about because I barely knew him and it was scary enough to be "kidnapped" by a serial, 8ft, killer clown. But he kept asking me and I refused to answer cause his face was even too scary for me to look at; trust me it would scare Pennywise himself! I thought by not telling him he would leave me alone but NOPE, wrong-o, no to the pe, NOPE!

To cut to the chase, he got extremely, and I mean extremely furious that I was refusing and he kind of lost control, grew 14ft and uhm, yeah. He didn't even know either! Like what the hey! Anyway, he chased me throughout the sewer till there was a dead end and I was so freaking dead, gonzo, screwed, POOF, gone.

(Pg. 2)

As soon as I turned around I was snatched up by him and he was growling viciously. When he spoke his voice was booming in my ears, I literally had to escape his death-grip just to cover my ears from the pain his demonic voice was causing. Then it stopped, "W-what h-happened?" I thought, then as I opened my eyes and uncovered my ears my skeleton nearly jumped right out of me. Chester was giving me a very terrifying look... was he waiting for something?

(CHESTER) WELL? ANSWER ME!

(ASHLY) *STUTTERING IN FEAR* A-Answer w-what?

Once he looked at me his eyes widened in shock, I could tell he was scared FOR ME, I mean who wouldn't be scared of a 14ft clown-that-was-furious-because-he wouldn't-get-an-answer. When I looked at him he whimpered a little bit, he raised me to meet his eye level and ran his claw across my cheek; gently, to wipe a tear from my face, I think he realized what he's just done to his sweet, little girl. As soon as he saw how much he's terrified me he put me down gently and started to cry; not a noticeable cry, shrank back down to 8ft, and his voice went back to normal constantly saying, "I'm so sorry!"

(CHESTER) *looked at you in a worrisome manner* I... I'm... so... oh god... Ashly, C-come H-here princess.

*Got up and walked towards you with open arms*

(ASHLY) *Unexpectedly got up and started to run towards him, but tripped and fell on your face, causing your left cheek to lose a chunk of skin* Chester!!! *TRIPPED* *THUD*

(CHESTER) ASHLY! Oh god... no (repeated so many times) why am I such a monster! I never can control myself can I?

Ash- HUH?!

(ASHLY) Ow! *GASP* *OH NO* CHESTER! *STUTTERING BADLY* It's o-okay ch-Chester I know you d-didn't m-mean it. You just w-wanted to k-know what m-my nightmare w-was about. *STOPPED STUTTERING* I may be hurt, but it doesn't mean it was YOUR fault, I chose to run towards you, and I know you CAN control your anger because... I-I will help you.

(CHESTER) Y-you w-will? But w-what I h-hurt you again I...

(ASHLY) Chester... it's okay I may be young but that never stopped me, now can we go home because I'm scared of the dark.

(CHESTER) Of course princess, and I promise to never, I mean NEVER hurt you again.

(Pg. 3)

Ever since then he's kept his promise for 5 yrs... That is a long time! Anyway when I turned 15 yrs old he popped the question" and asked me to be with him for all eternity; no I did not marry him! Are y'all crazy! He just wanted someone to love him because every time he tried to speak to us humans, they always ran away screaming like idiots. So he gave me the most beautiful necklace I've ever seen and you won't believe how he got it... yep, he stole the firkin thing, but I blushed because that proved to me that he would do ANYTHING for me, even kill for me.

(CHESTER) *desperate* D-Do you L-like it S-Sweetheart?

(ASHLY) Even though you stole it... I love it! *REALIZED* But I don't have anything for you... *STARTED TO WHIMPER*

(CHESTER) Oh no, baby don't cry, I don't need anything from you, YOU is all I ever wanted *LIFTED YOUR SMALL FACE* Now don't cry my pretty , let Daddy take care of your sadness and make it go away. *STARTED TO TICKLE YOU*

(ASHLY) Chester! No! Nyah-ha-ha-ha-ha, Okay! Okay! I'm happy, I'm happy! *SIGH OF RELIEF*

(CHESTER) Good... now make daddy a promise okay?

(ASHLY) O-Okay

(CHESTER) Don't get sad ever again, I'm not getting onto you, I just don't want my baby girl sad and never recover from it, understand pet?

(ASHLY) Yes, I understand daddy.

~BACK TO REALITY~ (16 yrs old now)

(Pg. 4)

But that was nothing compared to what he did THIS time... It all started on Monday morning, in the Derry Sewer at 8:30AM When I awoke and believed you me I should've stayed asleep. When I awoke I noticed Chester wasn't there beside me, and there was a blanket on top of me... 'I don't remember a blanket being... OH NO!' I jumped up and ran towards the "more-open area" where the tower of trash stood proud like a knight, and in a panicky manner I started to call out for Chester...

(ASHLY) CHESTER! (2X) CHESTER WHERE ARE YOU!? (2X) *STARTED TO CRY; VOICE BREAKING* D-Daddy! *HEARD A DISTURBING SCREAM ALONG WITH CHESTER'S VOICE*

I ran around the corner to find Chester standing on his circus stage, a gust of relief rushed over me. I thought he actually left, how silly of me!

(ASHLY) *WHISPERED EXCITEMENT* CHESTER!!! *RAN TOWARDS HIM TO HUG HIM BUT WAS STOPPED BY A HORRIFYING SIGHT*

As I stopped running midway I saw him as his "DEMONIC, CLOWN-SELF; 14FT tall BTW" and cornering a small little girl, yes a girl MY AGE! I stupidly went up closer to find out what was going on but I made sure to STAY out of SIGHT. But what I heard and saw nearly made me want to cry, because Chester would never say that about me... Ever!
