Art the Clown x Reader

Part 1 Ch 10

   "Art, we have to get out of here, what are you doing??" You asked, firmly placing your hands on his chest and trying to move him back. He held his ground, he was too strong. Tears pricked your eyes as panic set in, he wasn't going to leave with you. You had two choices: stay here, or leave.

   "Tara?" The voice called again, getting closer to the room. "Art!" You glared at him, fingers curling around his shirt, scrunching the bloody fabric. His gaze seemed to soften in understanding, and he grabbed your hand, guiding you into another room and standing with you in silence. He was listening for something...

   A loud scream echoed through the abandoned building, followed by a sob. "Tara!" She sounded so... Devastated. They must have been related, that was all you could really assume...

   Art burst out in a silent laugh. Something felt wrong about the entire situation... "You had your fun, we need to leave... Please..." You grabbed Art's face and made him look into your eyes. He was starting to get annoyed with your insistence...

He gently, but still firmly held you by your shoulders, moving you over to an old metal chair and sitting you down on it. He pressed a kiss to your forehead, forcing you to let your guard down...

He left the room, closing the door... And a click echoed through the room. He'd locked the door..? He locked the fucking door. ".. Art! ART!!!" You quickly got up, rushing over to the door and desperately trying to get it open...

...

   By the time you managed to get the door open- breaking the handle with a metal pipe- it sounded like a car crashed... You ran through the building to find Art, halting the second you saw him. He was crouched over another girl, eating.. Her face...

   You felt like you were gonna be sick... You used to be so good about gore, but all the unease you'd been feeling was getting to you slowly...

   "Freeze!" The police had shown up. They saw you, but you were frozen in place, and... They had guns aimed at your boyfriend... Art sat up slowly, his eyes meeting yours before he put his hands up.

...

   The world seemed to freeze at what you witnessed. A flash of light erupted, and Art's brain was suddenly splattered over the pavement.

   You stared in silence for what felt like an eternity, everything going quiet as tunnel vision forced you to focus on your now dead boyfriend. "... NO!!" You screamed, tears beginning to flow down your face as you rushed over to Art's now dead body.

   "No! Art! No, you can't- You can't be dead, Art, please-!" You sobbed over him, holding his face in a desperate plea for him to wake up, to look at you again... But he wouldn't, and the police were dragging you off of him... "No!"

   "I think she's still breathing!" You heard one of the officers speak about the random woman on the floor.
