Monster.

You're a monster.

"No!" Darkness. Voices screaming and whispering the same words.

Monster.

Monster.

Monster.

"Nooooo!! Get out of my head!"

Monster.

You're a monster.

I couldn't see. There was just...

Nothing.

I woke screaming.

"Klea! Wake up! It's just a nightmare. Please, calm down." My dad coddled me in his arms and Pennywise stood in the doorway of my bathroom.

"I don't wanna die. I don't wanna die. Penny please, please, help me."

"You're not going to die. Ssh, it's alright, Klea. Daddy's right here."

I cried. I cried until I fell back to sleep. Penny was holding me when I woke for the second time, blood smeared on his cheek as he slept next to me. It's been almost three weeks since I first saw him eat and I was used to seeing blood on his face. It was just natural. More and more flyers have been hung up. Every morning.
I poke Penny's cheek and watch him awaken.

"What? What happened? Are you OK?"

"I'm fine, just hungry." He smiled and flopped his head back on the pillow. I ripped the blanket off him and went downstairs finding Dad cooking breakfast. He kissed my forehead as I shuffled through the kitchen grabbing coffee and a plate of lots of sausage and eggs.

"Thanks pops, my favorite." Penny came down, some of the blood still on his neck. I pointed and he rubbed it away.

"What's up doc?" He said sitting beside me.

"My favorite, lots of meat." I scarf some sausage, Pennywise winking. "Perv."

My dad turns. "You hungry?"

"No, thank you." Penny declines. "I'll drive you today."

"Kk."

Jaime was waiting for me by the school doors with two of our other friends Nicki and Dalton. I tend not to talk to those two.

"See you after school." I kiss Pennywise goodbye and run to Jaime.

"Sup sup, how's Mr. mysterious." He made squid arms.

"As mysterious as always, nosey." We linked arms and skipped to first period. The teacher was late, as always, she had food. Bacon. I could smell it from way back where I was sitting. I craved it but I felt the need to vomit. I ran to the bathroom into the closest open stall and made it by just a second. Hands took my hair out of my face and shushed me.

"So fucking disgusting." I groaned and walked to the sink.

"Did you eat something bad? Maybe the sausages."
