Authors note: This story begins as 2nd pov but I struggled with it. It'll soon change to 1st person. I wrote this all a while ago so I just got too lazy to change it. Hope you enjoy 💕

"I'm gonna getcha! Hahahahhaha!!"

The laughter echos through the tunnels as your legs slushed in the water. You were breathing heavily, running as fast as you could in the knee deep water.
When you finally see light, you try to run even faster until you're met with bars. You grip them, trying to see if there was any way though them.

You hear his giggles far behind you, making you turn. You pull on the bars, looking outside.
"You can't run anymore, hehehe" the voice echoes.

"HELP" You scream, slamming on the bars "PLEASE HELP ME!"

You hear the water slushing behind you, letting you know he's getting closer.

"HES GONNA KILL ME!" You cry, trying to push yourself through the bars but to no avail. They were too close together.

"I found you" You hear him whisper right behind you.
You feel something grip your ankle and pull you.
As you fall, you scream.

You sit up hastily, taking a sharp inhale. You look around, realizing you were in your room. You wipe cold sweat from your forehead. You gulp, trying to ease your dry throat.
Just another nightmare.
You've been having them almost every night... with that same fucking clown.

You get out of your bed, shaking your head. You grab your phone from your brown bed stand check the time.
6:12 am.
You had about an hour to get ready.
So that's what you do.
You get up and do your usual morning routine, brushing your teeth, brushing your hair, etc. After that, you grab your things and leave your room.

"Did you eat something?" Your roommate asks from the kitchen.

"I'll just buy a snack from Greg's" You reply, walking out of the apartment room and locking the front door behind you.

You walk to Derrys Community college, holding your bags strap tightly.
You first stop by Greg's Coffee Shop, ordering a coffee/tea/ (fav drink) and a pastry/salad/(idk breakfast).
Once you got your order, you walk out the shop. But something catches your eyes.
You stare at the tree in the park, seeing something under it. A red balloon.
And...
You squint your eyes.
The figure holding the balloon waves at you. It was like you knew them.

"Excuse me" someone says.

You move out of their way so they could walk past you. You look back to the tree, only to see the figure was gone.

That event stuck in your mind throughout the day, but you attempt to ignore it when you knew you had to pay attention to more important things.
You focus on your studies until it was finally the end of the day and you were heading home.

You ate dinner with your Roommate Jade, and watched some movies since it was a Friday. When you both finally got tired enough, you both departed to your rooms.
You fall onto your bed, and almost immediately drifted off to sleep.

(Let's hope none of y'all are named Jade 🤭 if anyone is, I'll change it)

"Why didn't you wave back?" You hear the clown giggle.
You were back in the front of the coffee shop, holding your cup in your right and your breakfast in the other. You were facing the park again, Staring under the tree.
The figure stands there, no longer with a balloon.
It was dark.
But the tall light pole illuminated his figure.
You were already breathing heavily, feeling frozen in your place.

No...no I didn't see the clown this morning, you think.
You drop the things in your hands.
This is a dream.

"No" You hear the clown growl. You turn around to see him right in front of you, mouth drooling, His greased white face with red markings, and his bright yellow eyes staring at you "I'll find you, and when I do, I'll taste your flesh in my mouth, grind my teeth on your bones."

"No, no, no" You mutter out, shaking violently as you tried to walk back. Your legs felt weak beneath you so you fall, trying to crawl back as you watched the clown kneel down and grab your leg. You scream, beginning to cry.

"Lick the blood from your veins, ooooh oh oh y/n, you will be" he pulls you, grabbing your neck. You let out a yelp, sobbing. You wanted it all to end, you wanted it to stop "you will be delicious."
