Afraid of the Dark - Laughing Jack

Chapter 4

Celestia's POV

I angrily wiped the tears away from my face, the fear being replaced by pure rage. This total nutwack shows up and claims that I never existed, kills my bestfriend right in front of me, and expects me to converse? Like hell! I'll show him crazy, that son of a bi-

"Don't. Even. Think. About it" the clown said, a tiny hint of Brittish showing in his accent right then and there. Weird, but I found it interesting enough to point out.

"You can't beat me. You stand absolutely no chance against me". Okay, so he could read my mind as well now? That's just great.

"What do you want?" I asked. he smirked, enjoying the annoyance in my voice.

"I want some fun," he answered. "What's your name, sweetheart?"

"Well, it's not 'sweetheart'" I muttered. I could smell the blood from Diana, and looked away. As much as I wanted to do anything to help her, I couldn't. She was already dead. I just had to play along. "I'm Celestia. And you?"

"Jack. Laughing Jack".

I rolled my eyes, but didn't say anything about it. "Fantastic. Now that the introductions are over, please continue with the description on how much fun you think this is," I pointed at Diana, but kept my eyes on the clown. Jack.

"Oh, I think it's hilarious" he laughed, and kicked her body. I took a step forward, but didn't approach him completely, considering I'm 5'6, and he's like, what, 10 feet?

"You're sick" I spat, disgust filling my voice. "Stay away from me, you freak". Jack cackled loudly at this, waving his hand as if that was the funniest thing I could have said.

"You're a funny one, aren't you?" he giggled. "Welcome to your new life, Celestia. I'll be looking forward to our next...meet up". And just like that, in a mist of black and white, the dickhead disappeared. I stood there for a second, millions of thoughts racing through my head, before I rushed over to Diana and took her hand.

"Oh my god" I sobbed, hugging her lifeless body tightly. "I'll make him pay for this, I swear" I whispered, and kissed her hand. Ew. Okay, blood does not taste good. Note to self; never become a vampire.

"Excuse me?" someone said from behind me. I turned around, meeting the eyes of an elder woman. She was looking at me concerned. So I was visible again, then. "Are you all right?"

I thought she was going to help me with Diana, but when I turned back to my friend, she was gone. Vanished, as if she was never there. No blood, no smell. Even my hands, that had been covered in blood after hugging her, were clean again.

I nodded slowly, coming to the conclusion that I didn't need anyone thinking i was crazy and that I had just seen a clown murder my friend, that by the way was invisible a few minutes ago but now she had completely vanished.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I lied, wiping away a few tears and getting up. I ignored the woman, and instead of going to the groceries, I just walked straight back to school. After what I had seen, I wasn't really hungry anymore.

When I got to our dorm..my dorm?...I sat down in the couch and stared blankly ahead of me. Everything was quiet. My body was hurting, but at the same time I felt numb. I didn't know what to do, so I just grabbed the closest pillow and buried my face in it.

Then; I screamed. I screamed for Diana. I screamed for Laughing Jack. I screamed for my family. I just screamed, muffling the sound with the pillow. Small sobs left me as I started to cry, and I laid down. I must've fallen asleep, cause I woke up later when the sun was going down, to my stomach growling.

Damn it. I still had to go to the groceries. I sighed, sitting up. My face was stained with dried tears, so I quickly washed it with some cold water, and I re-did my ponytail, since it had been messed up after sleeping.

I knew the motherfucker, Laughing Jack, would come after me again, but right now I couldn't care less.

Right now, I wanted to die.
