Chapter 5 – Candy?

I didn’t dare sleep that night. Mom thought I was tucked in bed well asleep but I just couldn’t sleep with the thought of having a nightmare again. I sat up playing games on my phone, talking to myself, but soon around one in the morning, I felt my eyelids droop.

“No… No Paris you have to stay awake.” I scolded myself.

But my eyes refused and closed, and rather quickly I fell asleep.. until…

All around the mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel…. The monkey though all was in fun… pop goes the weasel”

The song was whispered in my ear, I felt the warm breath on my neck and it sent shivers through me. I whimpered as I jolt up and my eyes land on the monochrome clown beside me.

“Want some candy?” he smirked.

I began to scream but he stuffed bunches of hard candy in my mouth, making me shut up.

“I’m not here to kill you, human. Or for now at least.” He growled. “If you dare scream again or yell for help I will kill whoever walks through that door.”

I spat out the sweets and whimpered, my mother would be the only one to walk through that door, so I stayed quiet.

“What do you want from me?” I spat, glaring daggers at him.

His silvery eyes gleamed as he giggled.

“Hoo hoo! I’m only here to have some fun. Besides, you owe me.” The clown says before shoving me off my bed.

I yelp and land with a soft thud onto the carpet and sit up to see the clown sprawled across my bed, flipping pieces of hard candy in his mouth.

I growl, “Get off my bed you freak!”

He looks over to me as if he’s not impressed and doesn’t move, he only pops another piece of candy in his mouth.

I growl and try to move him but he was much too heavy. I stood up and folded my arms across my chest, “What the fuck do you want? And how do I owe you?”

“Those bullies! If I recall, you said ‘I hope you all die’ and I listened!” he giggled, his sharp smile at me.

I stood there shocked, “You did that? I didn’t mean it! Sure they were assholes but… you made my life a living hell! Worse than before!”

He pouted, “I did not! I ridded you of your problems.”

“You made it worse.” I growl, “Who are you anyway?”

The clown jumped up and stocked toward me, towering over me as his eyes stared into mine.

“Where are my manners?” he bowed dramatically, “I am Laughing Jack.”

I raised an eyebrow, “Laughing Jack?”

“Just call me Jack.” He smirks then flops back down on my bed again until I heard something outside my door.

“Paris, honey? Are you okay?”

My eyes widen in panic and I look back to Jack, “You’ve got to go!”

Jack apparently panicked too because a black and white Jack-in-the-box box sat on my bed where Laughing Jack once did.

I didn’t question it I just set it on my bedside table and covered myself in my blankets just as mom walked into my room.

“I thought I heard a scream… Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I just had another nightmare, I’m fine mom.” I say forcing a smile.

She just nodded, walking over and kissing my forehead, “Goodnight hon.”

“Night mom.” I say and snuggle down in my covers.

Just as she left I looked at the box on my side table and smirked, I guess Laughing Jack couldn’t get out. Maybe I’ll let him out tomorrow… or one day… at some point.

And with that, I fell asleep, not fearing another nightmare as long as that sinister clown was locked up in his box.
