Laughing Jack: How To Put A Jack In The Box Back In The Box (Laughing JackxOC)

Cat and Mouse Chase

"Well, well, well~ What do we have here? Looks like we have a guest, Timmy Boy!~" The sinister tones of the black and white clown's voice sent chills down Dylan's spine, his blood running cold as he watched in horror. Sharp, pearly white teeth formed a twisted smile as the clown casually hung the kid by their organs onto a nearby tree, the macabre scene unfolding before Dylan's disbelieving eyes.

As Dylan stumbled backward, his gaze fixed upon the towering figure of the six-foot-tall clown, its long claws dripping with the crimson evidence of its atrocities. Panic surged through Dylan's veins, his heart pounding against his ribcage as he struggled to comprehend the horror before him. "What the hell—what the hell is that? That's not human," he gasped, his voice trembling with a mixture of fear and disbelief.

His retreat was abruptly halted by an unseen obstacle, a root hidden beneath the forest floor that sent him crashing to the ground. The clown loomed over him, its malevolent presence casting a suffocating shadow over Dylan's senses. "It looks like a little mouse came out to play~ What a lucky day~" the clown taunted, its voice dripping with malice as it reached down with clawed hands to seize Dylan by the scarf.

With a surge of adrenaline, Dylan fought back, his survival instincts kicking into overdrive. He lashed out with a desperate kick, aiming for the clown's most vulnerable spot. "LET GO!" he hissed through gritted teeth as his foot connected with the clown's groin, eliciting a pained hiss of agony.

As the clown recoiled in pain, releasing Dylan from its grasp, the scarf remained ensnared in its claws. With a frantic scramble, Dylan seized his belongings and fled, abandoning his scarf in his haste to escape the clutches of the malevolent entity pursuing him.

Heart pounding, Dylan sprinted through the darkness, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he fought to put as much distance between himself and the nightmare behind him. The sound of the clown's pursuit echoed in his ears, driving him onward as he fumbled with his phone, fingers trembling as he dialed 911 in a desperate bid for help.

"Get back here, you brat!" The clown's menacing hiss echoed through the night, its twisted form lurching forward in pursuit of Dylan, who darted around every corner with frantic desperation. With each fleeting moment, the distance between them seemed to shrink, the clown's ghastly presence casting a suffocating shadow over Dylan's every move.

Heart pounding in his chest, Dylan pressed the phone to his ear, his trembling fingers struggling to maintain a grip as he listened to the operator's calm voice. "911, what is your emergency?" The words rang out in stark contrast to the chaos unfolding around him.

"There's an inhuman clown chasing me!" Dylan gasped, his voice quivering with fear as he raced through the labyrinthine streets, his breath coming in ragged gasps. But his plea fell on deaf ears, met only with skepticism and disbelief.

"Sir, this hotline is for emergencies, not prank calls," the operator retorted, her tone tinged with annoyance at the perceived frivolity of Dylan's distress. The weight of her words bore down on him like a heavy burden, fueling his panic as he realized the gravity of his situation.

With the clown's menacing laughter echoing in his ears, Dylan knew that he was truly alone, his desperate cries for help falling upon deaf ears in the face of unimaginable horror. And as he raced through the darkness, pursued by a malevolent force beyond comprehension, he could only cling to the hope that someone, somewhere, would heed his plea before it was too late.

"NO, LISTEN TO ME, THERE'S A—" Dylan's urgent cry was abruptly cut off as blinding headlights engulfed him, swallowing his words in an instant. Frozen in terror, he was rendered momentarily speechless, his mind racing with a primal instinct to flee. But it was too late.

The screech of tires filled the air, a symphony of impending doom as the vehicle hurtled towards him with terrifying speed. Time seemed to slow to a crawl as Dylan's heart pounded in his chest, each beat a thunderous echo of impending disaster.

With a sickening thud, Dylan was violently thrown to the ground, the impact jarring his senses as pain lanced through his body. Darkness threatened to consume him as his vision blurred and the world spun out of control.

In the chaos that ensued, Dylan's mind reeled with a cacophony of panicked voices and distant sirens, each sound a cruel reminder of his helplessness in the face of fate's cruel twist. And as consciousness slipped away from him, he could only pray that someone, anyone, would come to his aid before it was too late

As Laughing Jack faded back into the shadows of the alleyway, his frustration simmered beneath the surface like a seething cauldron of rage. "Damn brat got away," he growled, his claws flexing with impotent fury as he watched the chaos unfold before him.

The distant wail of sirens echoed through the night air, a symphony of panic and desperation as bystanders frantically dialed for help. But Laughing Jack remained unfazed, his attention fixated on the task at hand.

"No worries, I can just kill him later," he muttered darkly, his thoughts swirling with a lethal combination of annoyance and determination. The brat may have slipped through his grasp for now, but he knew that his prey would not elude him for long.

With a steely resolve, Laughing Jack set his sights on his next objective: tracking down the elusive boy and ensuring that justice was served. He knew that Slenderman would not take kindly to his failure, and he could ill afford to disappoint his master.

But as he reached for his music box, a sinking realization washed over him like a tidal wave of dread. "Where is it?" he muttered frantically, his fingers scrabbling at empty air as he searched every nook and cranny of the alleyway.

It was then that the truth dawned upon him with chilling clarity. The boy, in his desperate bid for escape, had inadvertently snatched the music box from his grasp when they grabbed their things off the ground, leaving Laughing Jack bereft of his most precious possession.

"Damnit, if that brat is the reason my box breaks, I'm screwed," he cursed, his voice laced with a bitter mix of anger and resignation. Without the music box, he was nothing—an empty vessel adrift in a world of darkness and despair.

Having no other choice, Laughing Jack resigned himself to the inevitable. Another goose chase awaited him, another relentless pursuit of his elusive prey. But this time, the stakes had never been higher, and failure was not an option.
