It's been a few days since Bitter first arrived at LJ's carnival. Who knew someone other than LJ can make his carnival darker than before.
Everything felt different....
The air was thicker, the energy became darker, it was raining all day every day at the carnival. He changed everything just by being here, And she knew LJ was not happy about it.
Y/n sat on one of the carousel horses watching everyone play games like every Friday, it seems to her that they didn't care about the rain, they kinda got used to it constantly storming.
Another thing she did notice that was different was the dead kids' admiration for Laughing Jack was slowly disappearing. They rarely found his acts entertaining, they would just sit there and watch. No reactions at all.
That's where LJ started becoming more moody, He doesn't talk to Y/n as much. He's not really around either. She doesn't know where he goes and what he does during that time he's gone.
She had so many questions that she wanted to ask him but every time she got the chance to see him, He would just ignore her. She had this urge to help him...she hated it.
"Hmm, What are you thinking about?" That voice, She remembered whose voice that belonged to. It was coming from behind her so she turned her head to see Bitter sitting on the bench on the carousel with his arms and legs crossed.
She stared at him with nothing to say, He looked over to her and gave her a tight lipped smile. "Well? Are you going to answer the question?"
Thunder roared in the far distance then came a strike of lightning that made the girl flinch, bringing her out of her head. "Nothing..." She finally spoke as she kept staring at him.
Bitter stood and walked up to the horse she was sitting on, The clown reached his hand out "We haven't properly met yet, I'm Bitter the Clown. And you are?"
Y/n didn't want to converse with him but she knew if she did, she could possibly get answers that she so badly needed out of him instead of LJ. She slowly put her hand into his, "Y/n" His hand was cold and rough, she could feel his dry skin on hers making her cringe at the texture.
"Ahh, Of course. LJ's play toy everyone talks about here." He shook her hand, she took notice that he squeezed her hand tightly when he said LJ's name. A little grimace appeared on her face as she took her hand back.
She studied Bitter's face for a bit, his eyes were dark pools of evil. They were so dark she could almost see her reflection, it was almost like staring at a night sky. The way he stared back made her uncomfortable under that dark solemn gaze.
He was about to speak till the familiar song started to play in the background. LJ's performance is starting, she looked back to see the dead kids looking at each other feeling annoyed that they have to attend to his performance, Y/n's eyebrows furrowed together as she slipped off the horse and jumped off the carousel's platform ignoring Bitter's presence.
The kids slowly began walking into the large tent, usually they would be excited and run into there but not this time. "What the hell?" She whispered, she looked back at Bitter to see him smirking like he accomplished something.
She narrowed her eyes into slits feeling his suspicious energy radiated off of him, he locked eyes with her and gave her a smile before disappearing.
Y/n turned back around and looked back to the tent to see that everyone was finally in. She ran to the entrance of the tent and walked in. To see all the kids sitting on the bleachers with bored expressions on their faces.
She watched them from the entrance, LJ appeared in the middle of the stage. He introduced himself like always before his acts but the kids didn't react like always.
The monochrome clown noticed and you could see the light in his eyes dim, Y/n noticed Bitter appeared behind him with LJ knowing, that made the crowd roar with excitement as they saw the other clown.
"Hello everyone!" Bitter yelled, LJ's face changed from disappointment to anger, he looked behind him to see Bitter waving to the crowd, he then snapped his fingers making LJ disappear from the stage to the audience.
Y/n was watching the whole thing feeling somewhat bad for LJ. It's like what happened with him and Issac with him being forgotten is happening now...
Everyone is forgetting about LJ...
The upset clown moved away from the audience and started to leave the tent. He was about to pass by Y/n. "LJ..." She started but he ignored her and left.
She looked back at Bitter before leaving the tent, LJ was walking down the trail. She followed after him in the rain, "LJ, who cares if they like Bitter more than you-."
LJ stopped and turned abruptly to face Y/n, a scoff came out of his mouth "I fucking care, you dumb girl!" He shouted towering over her, She was taken back at his sudden voice, she stepped back and looked at him.
Seeing him like this brought back the anxiety she felt every time she saw him. She hasn't felt it in a while. It made her realize that she forgot what her place was in this world. A play toy, nothing else.
"Do you need to be reminded of why you're here? I don't need you consoling me." He spat with venom, He turned back around and continued to walk away.
She stood there in the rain feeling that the same pit of emptiness in her came back again. "Right." She whispered, feeling the rain coming down on her so harsh like the words he said to her.
His words and the way he treated her was just a reminder that she shouldn't feel anything for him.
Y/n stood there for a while before walking away on a familiar path, she walked hearing the muddy puddles slash beneath her feet, the mud would splatter onto her legs.
She soon came to a halt once she saw the house in front of her, She went up to Jason's door knocking on it. She didn't care if this was a dumb idea anymore, she didn't care if LJ knew.
The door opened revealing Jason, He looked at the soaked girl in front of him. His confusion turned into concern as he saw the look on Y/n's.
"Come in, Doll."
