CHAPTER 5

"L-let me...g-go..." I whimpered.

His face was now centimetres from mine, close enough for me to feel his warm breath against my cheeks. He tilted his head starring deeply into my eyes, his eyes, a bright orange, pierced through me. I wiggled around trying to break free from his grip, I wrapped my hands around his wrists, trying to pull him off but with no luck, he kept a hold of me. He held my legs still with his body weight, which restricted my movement even more so.

"Why didn't you take my balloon? All the kids love my balloons" He asked confused.

"Most kids would come over and talk to me, they'd want to come and play..." He said looking down at me.

His tone unsettlingly calm considering he had his fingers wrapped around my throat.

"I-Im not a-a kid" I said under my breath.

He looked down and noticed that I could barely talk due to the fact that he was suffocating the air from reaching my lungs, and quickly loosened his grip.

I gasped and coughed before inhaling as deeply as my lungs could bare.

"What is your problem?? Why did I see you in a drain, and now your in my room strangling me?! What the fuck?" I yelled as tears slowly started to fill my eyes.

His grip went completely slack, pulling his gloved mitt away from my throat, he looked back at me almost distraughtly.

I looked up at him, my eyes filled with tears, the salty droplets rolled down my cheeks, some hitting my lips and others falling onto my lap. I still had a hold of my throat where I continued to gasp for air, I could feel the muscles had tensed up, making my breathing irregular. He starred back at me, once again with one eye a little off from the other. I sniffled, taking another breath in, with a nose full of snot and a face drenched from tears.

Both eyes realigned and focused back on me, turning from the orange colour they had been before back to the baby blue. With a shiver crossed between a jingle, he slid back to the end of the bed and paused. He began looking around the room, almost confused as to how he got there, he stopped and looked back upon my frightened face.

"Why are you crying? I didn't make you cry did I?" He asked stretching his hand toward me.

I just starred back at him totally lost for words, my eyes now puffy and raw from the crying, my upper lip starting to sting from rubbing away the snot.

"What are you doing here in my room? And why did you try and kill me?!" I yelled annoyed, through a clogged nose.

"Pennywise would never hurt children, I love children" He insisted, reaching out to touch my face.

I pulled away from his hand almost hitting it with my own as frowned back at him in disgust.

"I'm not a child. I'm eighteen! And I don't appreciate psychotic freaks, dressed as a clown, who stands in drains! To come into my fucking room, scare the shit out of me, choke me and then ask me what is wrong. Get the hell out of my room you creepy bastard!!" I yelled, my eyebrows scrunched as I glared back at him.

He just looked back at me, his expression was filled with shock, before it turned sad.

"I'm so sorry" He said with a gentle smile.

"I can't recall any of the things you just said" He insisted with a chuckle.

"Except the fact that I live in the Sewers" He said looking out the window.

"They all float down there" He said, slowly turning his attention back to me.

"What do you mean they all float down there" I questioned.

He looked back at me again and paused, a sinister smile began to grow upon his face, big enough for each side of his mouth to reach his cheekbones. His eyes turned back to the orange they were before in a blink of an eye.

"I can show you, you'll float too..." He said as he began to lean closer to me.

As he creeped closer towards me, I could tell that there would be no stopping him. I lifted my leg up to my chest before he could grab it, and thrusted it towards his head, kicking him as hard as I could.

I rolled off the side of the bed not taking my eyes off of him for a second. As he screeched in pain, a red substance floated off of his forehead, disappearing into the air. He stopped hissing and whipped his head toward me before he pounced across the room. I turned and ran to the bathroom without a second to lose. My heart was racing just as it did every other time I met with this 'Pennywise'. I knelt down in my knees and laid down the floor to see where he was.

What I saw on the other side only confirmed to me that this thing was not human. His orange eyes shone brighter then they had previously, his eyes started to slant as his mouth began to seperate allowing for rows upon rows of shark like teeth to be freed. His eyes directed at the door where I hid, he hissed as he hid in the dark corner of my room.

A few minutes had gone by when I assumed that he might have snuck back down to his sewer drain. I creaked the door open ever so slightly to check if it were safe, when I heard a dripping sound.

*SPLASH, DRIP*

I looked to my side to see a thick transparent substance building up on the carpet.

"Ugh" I groaned under my breath.

I slowly looked up to the right of my door, and there he stood, hunched over me, drooling like a dog with his teeth bared and ready to kill.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!" I screamed.

He snarled as he snapped near my hand that had a hold of the door. I retracted it from the grip of his jaws and slammed the door, hoping it would keep IT out.

*BANG!*

"Ah" I squeaked, leaning against the door as it pushed me forward.

"It won't be long before I feast on your fears Y/N, you can't hide in there forever." He growled from behind the door.

A few minutes after he had banged the bathroom door, I bent down once again and peeked underneath the door. I could see him walking back to the window. The wind whipped his orange hair as the curtains slapped his back. He climbed onto the sill, crawling out of it, clinging from the edge of the window, his eyes caught mine starring back at him, that same smile grew on his face. It made me feel so uncomfortable. I blinked and before I knew it, he was gone.

I decided to stay in my bathroom that night, and of course I didn't sleep. How could I, all I could think about was Pennywise. Will he come back? What did he mean float? What the fuck, if that creep comes back, why was he hostile, and then calm, and then he tried to hurt me again, who is he?
