Not the only one (Pennywise)

|4| The back alley

-dream over/next morning-

You sat up in bed as your alarm chirped you awake. You rubbed your eyes and stretched, letting out a yawn. You got up slowly and took your phone off the charger, turning off the alarm at once. You walked over to your closet and rummaged through your clothes. You looked out the window. The sky was covered in dark clouds. Making it seem very humid and cold outside. You decided to put on a sweater. It was a red and white striped hoodie paired with some jeans. After you got dressed you walked towards the bathroom to freshen up. It took about 10mins before you walked downstairs into the living room. As you passed the couch to get to the kitchen, you noticed your shorts from yesterday still laying next to it on the floor. You grabbed it and in the process something fell out of it's pocket. It was the little girl's picture, that the police man had given you the night before. You smiled as her agonizing screams echoed in your head. You grabbed the piece of paper and walked over the kitchen counter. You opened it and pulled out a little book, with the cover Meals~ on it. You opened it and smiled as nostalgia took over you. There were several missing fliers glued to the pages. The book only had a few emty pages left. You grabbed some glue from one of the drawers and glued the picture gently next to another one. You got out a pen and wrote "my first shared meal" beneath it. You smiled at your art and put the pen and glue away as you closed the album. You liked to keep memories like these. They made you remember the horrible deaths of the people you killed, their screams still echoing in your mind as you tought of them. And they bought joy to your very core. You didn't deny that there was something wrong with you. But you enjoyed it. It was one of the main reasons you were different from the others. Apart from your unnatural 'powers'. You never really referred to it as a power. It was just something you had gotten used to over the years. Your ability to change parts of your body had helped you countless times. Not just in killing and persuading your prey, but also in hiding from police, or anyone in general. People got very confused by you merely changing your hair, body, or voice. Now that you had found someone similar to you, you didn't know what would lay ahead of you. And this exited you. You shook your head, pulling yourself back into reality as you put the book away. You smiled to yourself as you folded your shorts and walked to the washingroom throwing them into the washing machine. You ate breakfast and sat on your couch, scrolling through your phone. You looked at the news. The missing girl, of course, was all over the local news. You grinned. It felt amazing to be behind the center of the news. You got up and grabbed your coat from the coathanger and put it on. You looked for your bag and put some money, your phone and a few other things into it as you walked out the door and locked it. You opened a red umbrella that you had grabbed on the way out and walked along the wet pavement. You went towards the town center, feeling ambitious about fingind a job. You listened to the pitter-patter of the rain, making you feel calm. You loved it. You watched the little rivers that formed at the side of the road and finally saw the shops aproach. You took a deep breath as you reached one of the shops. You put on a warmhearted smile and walked inside.

-time skip-

You sighed as you looked at your phone. It was 3pm. You felt a bit tired, but you made it! You went through almost all the shops there were, and almost all the replies were the same: "Sorry, we already have enough staff." "Sorry, we only hire people over this age." "Sorry, you need a resume." And so on. But you were succesful. You got a job at a grocery store, only 10 mins away from your house. The payment wasn't that high, but just right, you didn't feel the need to complain. You also didn't need to pay that many bills, since you didn't use the lamps, only the TV and a few smaller things, like outlets. You smiled, as you were now in a better mood. You skipped along the park, as two guys walked  over to you. "Hey, cutie~" One of them spoke up,  and you suddenly stopped in your traks and looked over your shoulder. "Uhm...hello. Can I help you?" You asked them, as they started to smirk. "You look cute. Might even be hotter under that coat of yours~" The other guy said, and you took a step back. "Uh...sorry, but I-" You couldn't even finish as they crept even closer to you. They were about maybe 20 years old, and from the appearance they looked older than you. But not stronger. You stepped back, yet again.  This made them frown a little. " Where you going?" One asked you and you smiled. " Sorry, not interested." You said flatly and turned on your heels, starting to walk away. You smirked to yourself. You knew they would follow you. You heard them curse. Of course they would't just give up there. They were already in your twisted little game. You walked and didn't even stop to look behind you. You could hear their footsteps far away, but they were surely following. You had fun. You tought about where to go as an idea popped up. "Let's take you two to an alley~" You mumbled to yourself. You suddenly turned a sharp corner, walking into a dark alley. The alley was pretty small, not having much space for multiple people. The very end of the alley was covered in shadows, hence to being covered by the surrounding buildings. The two guys aproached, also turning the corner. "You sure she went this way?" One of them asked with an annoyed voice. "Yeah! Just shut up!" They seemed to be arguing. You chuckled slightly. Suddenly, you heard something drop onto the cold pavement. You stepped out of the shadows and watched as the second person fell. You slightly tilted your head to the right, watching your 'rescuer' aproach.
