Sour Candy Into Sweet Candy (Laughing Jack x reader)

chapter 12

I sat down and grabbed my fork. I sighed and hesitantly took a bite of the food my mom had made me.

Guessing that I'm still alive the food wasn't poisoned. I breathed out in relief.

After eating my food I put the plate in the sink and heard a semi loud buzz noise came from the table. It was James texting me. I pick up my phone and read the message.

James: Hey (Y/n), how are you this morning?

(Y/n): Rough nights sleep but still alive, so I guess that counts.

James: Why did something happen to make you not sleep well?

(Y/n): Yeah, nightmare got me again.

James: What happened in the nightmare?

(Y/n): I woke up in Laughing Jack's carnival, heard little kid laughing so I hide from them, they thought I was playing hide-and-seek, they ran off to go tell other kids to find me, I ran and hid in a "food" truck, kids couldn't find me but Laughing Jack told them were I was, but when the kids were about to get me I was woken up by my mom.

James: Jeez, I was hoping it would be something else but of course it's not. Anyways I got to go, dad made breakfast and I'm hungry, bye.

(Y/n): Bye.

I walked to the living room and turned on the TV. This is going to be a long, boring, and scarey day.

I decided not to watch TV seeing as though there was nothing interesting to watch and turned on my phone and hit shuffle on my music. Melanie Martinez: tag your it played. I skipped past that song in hopes a song that doesn't remind me of the nightmare in my house plays. Hide-and-seek by: Johnny T played. Once again I skipped the song.

Murder by: Minx, BoyInABand, and Chilled played. I stopped the music in huffed in anger. Why must I have songs like these on my phone? Maybe I should get dressed and go to the park or something. Getting up and walking to my room I got changed into something comfortable and headed out.

Continuing walking down the sidewalk I couldn't help but let my mind drift once again. Surprise, surprise I still alive. No Laughing Jack sense this morning. Why do I have the feeling it will all end soon though?

I sighed once again at the thought of something going wrong on a way-to-peaceful day. Soon it started to rain again.

"Dang you England!!!" I shouted shaking my fist in the air. Cursing under my breath I walked home, not caring too much about it.

Finally I went back inside into my "humble home". Deciding not to stay in wet clothes I went up to my room to change back into pajamas. Dragging myself up the stairs. But stopped at the stairs leading to my room.

There was a consistent tapping coming from my room. Not light, not heavy but somewhere in between.

I went up the stairs quietly.

Squeak.

I cursed silently at the squeaky stair, though the tapping had stopped it seemed to only fill me with more dread. Though still scared I continued up the stairs.

Opening the door I looked at my room. Nothing I walked inside. Suddenly the door slammed shut. Turning around quickly I saw a monochrome clown blocking the door.

"Why hello there (Y/n)." He grinned showing a sharp row of teeth.

"What do you want?" I said in a monotone tone.

"Awwwwe can't I come see my favorite hide-and-seek player?" He questioned.

"No." I answered unnamused.

"Uh! You wound me (Y/n)!" He said over dramticly while leaning against my door in a stupid pose. I couldn't help but crack a smirk at him being over dramatic.

"Any who I came here not only to see my favorite hide-and-seek player but to learn her secret."

"My secret?" I questioned obviously comfused.

"Yes~ now tell me how you escaped." He said grabbing my shoulders.

"Nah."

"WHY?!" He boomed.

"Because one: you put my sister into a coma, two: you tried to kill James and my sister, three: you tried to kill me multiple times not to mention you terrify me in my sleep, four: because as long as I know then you won't want to kill me!!" I yelled.

(Narrator's P.O.V)

Laughing Jack was stunned at the way (Y/n) had spoke to him. Never in his life had he been talked to in such an angered and stern tone. To say that he was upset with this new found courage the (h/l) haired girl found was an understatement. He was furious. He shoved the much smaller girl onto the floor. She hit her head on her bedside. He bent down and put one of his clawed figures under her chin and lifted up her head to face him.

"Listen hear kiddo, just because you got lucky at hide-and-seek doesn't mean I won't hesitate to kill you. I WILL rip out your insides and replace them with poisoned candy while your still alive. Do you really want that?"

"N-no." (Y/n) stammered out in fear.

Laughing Jack's smile grew seeing her in fear,"good, you better tell me and I just might let you live longer."

"I w-woke up." (Y/n) answered.

"That's it?" Laughing Jack questioned, (Y/n) nodded. "Awwwe I waisted my time here!" Laughing Jack pulled away face palming, them disappeared in a black puff of smoke.

((Y/n)'s P.O.V)

I coughed at the smoke. Jeez that went from zero to one hundred real quick. Well at least I'm alive, I could have died. But gosh that was scarey. I wonder if he's bipolar? Nah, he's too, what's the word, creepy and not so smart in some ways. He probably doesn't even know what bipolar means. I got up slowly, still in a bit of pain from being shoved, and got changed into my pajamas. Laying down in bed my thoughts drifted off like normal, can't I catch a brake?
