Red Drops (ON HIATUS)

Chapter 8

You spent the next hours screaming and wriggling in pain. Your screams should've alarmed the neighbors, but your tiny house was isolated; no one was near you except for the forest and the critters inside it.

When the last ripple of pain passed, you laid back exhausted, beads of sweat went down your forehead and back as you gasped for air erratically. Beside you, sat Pennywise in disguise eyeing you from a distance. His inability to comfort you was getting to your nerves; he had gotten you in the mess on the first place, the least he could do was offer a hand. But what you didn't knew was he couldn't do anything, it was all a matter of time and no amount of comfort would make the pain less or better.

You huffed and groaned as you willed your body to get up. That's when he moved.

"No no no no no, what do you think you're doing?" His hands tried to push your shoulders backwards.

"I'm getting up and looking for painkillers"

He succeeded in making you stay by giving you a peck on the lips. Distracted by the act, he managed to push you slightly backwards.

"No painkillers will help" his voice dripped a little bit of helplessness.

"You bastard, this is your fault" you said, your voice not even sounding mad or angry but just defeated "What even is this? How?...what the hell are you?"

He inspected your eyes for signs of mockery, but found profound confusion. Your honesty brought a small smile to his lips and he proceeded to answer your questions.

"I am a devourer. A prince of chaos, a shape shifter from another dimension. I've been stuck on Earth for many millennia, feeding and sleeping, waiting"

"For what?" You arched an eyebrow at his statement.

Not fully believing his story but not denying the existence of some truth behind it. His behavior wasn't certainly from Earth, that was for sure.

"For you, actually" he scratched his neck almost embarrassed that he confessed that, as if it were a secret.

"Really cliche, Mr. Denbrough, your story was very interesting. If and only if I were to believe, pardon the word, such bullshit. What am I to you that you so desperately needed to keep me hostage and bite me, to make me stay?"

His eyes darkened and his once somber expression changed completely to almost hurt and anger. At this point you could tell he was regretting his choice.

"(Y/N)" suddenly your name on his lips sounded wrong and aggressive. Also his eyes changed from the serene blue to a hellish yellow "I don't care what you believe and what you don't, that's the story, that's what's happening right now and nothing will ever change the fact that you belong to me" he grabbed your neck roughly and whispered violently  "You don't need to understand anything else, besides the fact that you are mine and mine alone, you will stay by my side forever. So you best made your self confortable, sweets, because last I check forever is a long time"

He stood up and left the room, slamming the door behind him and leaving you dumbfounded and angry at his statements

Nonetheless you decided it was best to sleep and actually get some rest before the pain started again. Even though your stomach grumbled, pain won over hunger and you laid back into the comfy pillows.

Penny's POV
How dare she question his motives? Hasn't she read the journal? Isn't there enough proof inside of it?

He made his way out of the house and into the streets. That girl was driving him to the edge in the best and most foul way possible. He truly couldn't hold his impulse back if she continued to be a brat. He would have to show her instead of saying the things that need to be done. After all actions speak louder han words. He smiled at the remark. If she hasn't submitted to him by the time the process is done, then he would have no other choice. He would make her his no matter the cost. He would eventually have many centuries to ask for forgiveness later.

He had been walking in his human disguise, passing bystanders who threw flirtatious glances at him. He smirked. Having the world on a string and knowing it always gave him back power; he feeds of it.

Suddenly he realized he had been walking for a while and made it to an old park. Time flew by as he sat on a nearby bench and watched no fixated point. The breeze blew his way and somehow awoke him from the paralyzing stage of mind. He leaned back and looking smug, relaxed. After all he had the world on a string, remember.

Out of the corner of his eye he caught some movement. He turned his attention to it and his features contorted. Concern caked his face as he watched a yellow balloon float unmoving on the same spot. Oh-oh.

Your POV
Back at the house you've been having trouble falling asleep. Yes pain won over hunger but you still couldn't manage to sleep. You gently tossed and turned and prayed that whatever small amount of pain came and went wouldn't stay and intensify.

Unexpectedly, a knock came on the door to your bedroom. You groaned without any intention of answering. But more insistent than before the knocks became erratic and alarming. Still, not caring and rather annoyed you closed your eyes and yelled politely.

"Mr. Denbrough, if you had the audacity to slam the door on your way out a couple of hours ago, I think that gives you permission to come in uninvited"

The door opened and closed. It was also locked. But this fact passed unnoticed as you felt the bed sip beside you. You were laying on your side wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, with no regard for his actions at the moment. Although it was unexpected for him to lay down beside you.

He chuckled darkly. His tone of voice raspy and lower than before; it was different. Surely, he was trying to scare you in stupid attempt to be amused by your frenzy. Unfazed by his antics you persisted on trying to sleep, instead.

Your ignorance didn't go unnoticed as you felt his arm snake around your waist and pull you closer to his chest. That's when you lost it and turned.

"Mr. Denbrough! Jesus, stop with..." you gasped, wide eyed

From the hallway thunderous steps could be heard making their way to your room.

"(Y/N)!" he yelled worried as he reached the door

"Sshhhh, geez Kid, can't you see that she's tired"

The stranger's voice gave Penny a raspy chuckled and blew a smoke ring, while petting your hair as if you were a cat on his lap.

"Aren't ya gonna say hello?"

I have so much stuff that needs to be done and here I am, enjoying muself! Hope you like it. Also pictures not mine, so toots to the artist.
