Sour Candy Into Sweet Candy (Laughing Jack x reader)

Chapter 5

(Your P.O.V.)

It was around 7:30 when my phone suddenly buzz, indicating that I have a notification. I snapped out of my thoughts and checked my phone, it was (F/n).

(F/n): DUDE GUESS WHAT!?!?

(Y/n): What?

(F/n): I GOT ASKED OUT!!

(Y/n): Really? By who?

(F/n): You know Frankie from school? The he sometimes talks to us but never really had any friends.

(Y/n): Yeah?

(F/n): Well he is the on who asked me out! :3

(Y/n): Good for you!

(F/n): Any way, how are you?

(Y/n): Not so great.

(F/n): What's wrong?

(Y/n): I don't know. I've been getting these nightmares, I've been seeing this Jack-in-a-box but every time I turn away it disappears, I heard this raspy breath in (S/n) but nothing was there. I'm slowly losing sleep because of these bizarre nightmares.

(F/n): Dude...there might be a ghost that's causing this.

(Y/n): No. I already thought of that. There is somethings that they all have in common.

(F/n): What is that?

(Y/n): There all the nightmares and the Jack-in-a-box are monochrome and the rasp sounds like the one in my second nightmare.  So I assume my nightmares are the one causing this. They cause the illusion something from nightmares my brain is projecting sound and sight.

(F/n): That. Was. So. Smart. I nearly didn't get that. But I see what your saying. Anyways I got to go. Bye!

(Y/n): ok bye.

I check my phone. 8:30. As if on que (S/n) came down stairs.

I smiled,"there's donuts in the kitchen." She nodded and headed of to the kitchen. When she came back she had a glazed donut in her hand, she plopped down next to me and started eating. "Hey, do you wanna go to the park at noon?" (S/n) nodded her head in excitment. After we finished up with "breakfast" we grabbed clothes from our bags and got changed. But we still had three hours before we would head out to the park. So atamaticly (S/n) went up to her room to play, I on the other hand decided to go up to my room to look at the stuff in the dresser again, but not the weapons. As soon as I got up there I opened the second drawer; being more interested in it's contents. Once again the black hoodie and strange plague doctor-like mask. I picked up the hoodie and shook it out from all the dust. Surprisingly there wasn't that much, probably because it's been in a drawer. I put the hoodie on, it was a bit bigger than me. Then I put on the mask and put up the hood. I pulled out my phone and took a picture of myself and sent it to (F/n), knowing she won't be able to text me back.

I quickly put my phone away and took off the mask and hoodie and put them back where they were.

(???'s P.O.V.)

I was playing with the kiddo when she asked me if I want to got to the park with her and her sister (Y/n), of course I said yes. (Y/n) so that's her name. I was thinking of ways I could break (Y/n) piece by piece that I didn't hear (S/n) talking.

"Laughing Jack!" I instantly looked at her.

"Sorry I was just thinking, kiddo." I put on a fake smile.

"What we're you thinking of?" She tilted her head slightly.

"Of...all the fun games we can play at the park!" I lied. She smiled and we continued playing our game.

(Your P.O.V.)

It was 11:30 when I decided to go to the park early. I went downstairs grabbed my headphones and portable charger. I went back upstairs again to go get (S/n) when I heard her talking. Must be her imaginary friend she's talking too.

I opened (S/n) door,"Are you ready to go?" She quickly nodded her head and walked with me then she looked back,"come on Laughing Jack." Then continued walking along side me like normal.

After being in this park for 25 minutes James finally, though he didn't seem as scared as yesterday.

"Hey." He greeted.

"Hi." I greeted back. He sat down on the bench next to me. "So you wanted to talk to me about something?"

He nodded,"It's about the house the house you moved into. It has a short mysterious history and...connections."

"I know about the history but what about the connections?" He sighed.

"Well, sense Isaac Grossman died kid have being gutted, filled with poisons candy, and close to crusified and the parents of those children; tortured to death in the most gruesome ways possible. Though nobody knows who is doing it and the only leads are poisoned candy and children drawings." He explained.

"Drawings?" I questioned. He nodded his head and pulled out some drawings from his satchel and a small, red hard candy in a clear wrapper.

"Don't eat the candy it's poisoned." He handed me the piece of candy and drawing. Each drawing was of a tall, horrifying, monochrome clown with a child holding it's hand. My mouth opened and my eyes widen in horror.

"It appears some large clown monster is killing them off." He stated.

"H-how do you know all this?" I questioned, still in my shocked state.

"Huh, oh my dad is a detective and he's been working on these cases sense he started and I wanted to follow in his foot steps. So I told him that I would be taking this stuff for analysis. He said "Don't eat the candy or loose the stuff."" James explained. I gave him back the stuff and he put it back in his satchel.

He then pulled out a slip of paper and handed it to me,"if you need me or have anymore information about this stuff call me. See ya." Then he walked off.

After awhile at the park we made it back to the house and mom came in after a few minutes. Then the moving truck came and I knew one thing for sure: we had a lot of unpacking to do.
