Mate of Pennywise

*Chapter 15: Scared Silly*

"Guys, did you hear about Bowers and his friends? They said something they see a clown turning into a werewolf." Eddie said, sitting by his friends at school. "They were so scared they didn't come to school today."

"Well, at least they learn their lesson, right?" Stan asked. "I mean, they're not...hurt or anything, right?"

"Was B-B-Belle with...the clown?" Bill asked. "Because she was visiting for a wh-wh-while."

"They didn't say anything about her." Eddie replied. "Maybe she was." The boys look at each other with thought. If Henry and his friends mess with Belle the day before, then Pennywise came for her and scare them away. She is a mate of Pennywise after all, of course the clown had to protect her.

"I can't believe I had to say this, but...I'm glad the clown scared the shit out of Bowers." Richie spoke, adjusting his glasses. "Those guys will be traumatized for a long time."

"Yeah..." Stan said. The bell rings, and they went down the hallway to get to their class.

Belle walked in her bedroom, a towel wrapped around her body after a shower she took. After she closes the door, there is a white box with a red balloon attached to it. Belle approaches the gift with caution and see a note under the string. Taking the note and see perfectly handwriting.

I think it's time we try something new. I hear it's going to be a lovely night tonight with a full moon. I have plans for the both of us, so please accept and wear this dress you've been eyeing on months ago before I woke from my slumber.

Yours truly, Robert Gray.

Belle couldn't believe what she just read. Did he just ask her out? Is it a date? She opened the box and gasp at the sight of the dress. She pulled it out to see full detail. The dress is white with red roses around the skirt, the straps could hang around the shoulder blades. It was true. Belle likes this dress she seen months ago when kids go back to school. This dress costs a lot of money, and she couldn't afford it. Did Pennywise bring it here for her as a gift? Belle places the dress on the bed and brought out the clothes to wear for the day.

"Don't do it, Belle." A voice spoke. Belle spun around to see a boy. He could be one of the victims of Pennywise as a ghost. "He's trying to trick you."

"What do you mean?"

"He's trying to make you love him." The boy replied. Belle made a troubled look. The spirit could be right. Pennywise has been soft to her recently, even when he's Robert he's more human. Can Pennywise love a human being such as Belle? Does he even have a heart to love? Probably not. The woman looks at the boy.

"I doubt it's going to happen. Maybe Pennywise needs a break from...you know."

"He will never change, Belle. And you can't change back to what you were before. The longer you are with the monster, you will be as bloodthirsty as him." The boy said, his eyes turning red. Belle turned away, shutting her eyes. She won't that happen to her. She is still herself. Pennywise won't change her. Once she turns back to the spirit, he was gone. Belle sighed and got dressed.

Robert was sitting on the steps outside, waiting for Belle to come out. His blue eyes are scanning around the neighborhood, listening for anyone. He heard the front door open, and Belle came out. Robert faces her with a smile.

"Hey." Belle greeted. "So, where to?"

"How do you feel about going to pay a little visit at Henry's place?" Robert asked with a smirk. "I hear your little friends say that he skipped school."
