Demon Friend [Pennywise fanfiction]

Chapter 3 - Snack

Amy asked lots of questions on their way. When she was of course wasn't just talking about herself. Pennywise didn't even need to try to read her mind. Amy was really easy to read and if he wanted he could just ask and she would happily answer. Not caring what topic it was.

They walked along a street where Amy's house is. She then stopped him and told him to wait here. Before she run into her home. Pennywise decided to agree since he tried to gained her trust. It would be useless to screw it up now.

He didn't need to wait for too long. Amy walked out of the house closing the door and smiling happily at Pennywise. As she came closer she took his hand again and they continued in their walk. Before he had a chance to ask what was this whole thing about she said it herself. "I needed to get some money so we can buy you something." she explained and put her hand in her pocket that now made noises that indicated there were some money inside. "I saved something through the whole year so I could someday buy something." she said and looked up to him. "But you need it more. You can't starve!"

Pennywise smiled at the girl. Why was she so nice to him?

A bell of the grocery shop ringed when Amy opened the door to walk in. Pennywise closely followed. All of this was so new. He never really cared about people like that. Then why did he now? Just because of some child? no... because of Amelia. She didn't care about what he was. She just wanted to be friends with him.

"Here are the candy you can choose whatever." Amy said as they walked farther into the shop. However instead Pennywise choosing some candy he sniffed and turned towards the fruits. He then took some and showed them to Amy. "I want this." he stated and Amy laughed. "But those are just lemons! You can't eat them just like that." she said but Pennywise turned his head to the side in questioning glance. "Why not?"

Amy thought about it for a moment and then shrugged. "Alright. You can take few of them." she said and since she didn't really wanted to eat lemons she took a chocolate bar for herself.

Placing it all at the counter the cashier put the lemons in a plastic bag with the chocolate and typed something before she said the price and looked with raised eyebrow at Pennywise. He didn't said anything... What this women wants?

Amy however pulled out her money and put it on the counter. "Here you go." she smiled thanking. She then took the plastic bag and holding Pennywise's hand they left the shop with goodbye.

They went to sit at the corner of the main street on some wooden boxes. Amy smiled at Pennywise. She was really enjoying this. She then gave him one of the lemons and as she was going to open her chocolate bar she glanced at Pennywise who just bit into the lemon. Her eyes widened and blinked few times at him. He just raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"You... you didn't peeled it?" she asked confused. "Was I supposed to?" he asked back. These human things were really confusing. He just wanted to eat his lemons.

"I guess you don't. Are they even good?" she asked curious as Pennywise eats his second lemon. He shrugs and offered her the half eaten fruit. She took it and bit a little in it before spitting it out. "Eww! That is so sour!" Amy exclaimed as Pennywise took the lemon back and ate the rest. "Well I like it."

"So..." said Amy as she bit into her chocolate. "You aren't hungry anymore?" she asked hopefully. "No." he said bit then saw the girl's disappointed look and sighed. "But it did help." he added.

Amy looked up at him. "You will not eat me then.. right?" Pennywise made sinister laugh and shook his head. "Well no, didn't you said we are friends?" he said. Amy smiled and hugged Pennywise tightly. This gesture surprised him but he tried to reacted at least. Not like before. So he wrapped his arms around her too. It was little awkward since they both sit but neither of them mind.

When they broke apart they just leaned more at the wall. "Do you want to try?" Amy asked Pennywise and offered him piece of chocolate. He nodded ate it. Which was a mistake. He made a weird sound before couched few times. "That is disgusting." he stated and looked at Amy with raised eyebrow. The only thing she did was just to laugh back at him. At least now they were even.

They peacefully eat their snacks when Amy heard Bill talking. It was him and his friends currently walking around the shops. The little girl smiled. "Hey! Bill!" said Amy and waved at them as they walked by. Bill stopped and tuner towards hey. "Oh, hello A-amy." he smiled but his expression changed when he glanced at the stranger sitting behind her.

Rest of the group stopped too and watched Amy. "Oh. It's Anna." said the boy with glasses. "Richie. I think it's Aby." said the one with fanny pack. Amy rolled her eyes and stood up with crossed arms. They never seem to get her name right. "My name is Amy!" she said sternly.

Then a new kid spoke. It was a girl with short ginger hair she smiled at the younger girl. "Hello Amy. I'm Bev." she said and then looked at the stranger. "Can you tell us who is he?" she said pointing at Pennywise who was creepily smiling at the group of kids when Amy wasn't looking. Even though Beverly was the one who asked all of the kids had the same question in mind.

Amy smiled happily and took Pennywise's hand who was still sitting. Not really bothering to stood up. "This is my friend! Penny." she was really happy to introduced him. When Pennywise heard Amy call him Penny he smiled at her back. She was really kind girl.

However the older kids don't seem to share the same enthusiasm for Pennywise like Amy did so they just nodded. They were still really creeped out but nobody really felt like telling that to the little girl so Bill said his goodbye that followed by others and they left.

"I think they like you." said Amy as she went to sit back next to Pennywise who chuckled. "I'm not so sure about that." he said and laughed.

Pennywise was eating his last lemon when he glanced at Amy who was quietly eating her chocolate.

"Why are you not scared of me?" he asked curiously. Also why he didn't already ate her. But that was more complicated question.

Amy shrugged. "You saved me. And you are my friend. Why would I be scared of you?" she answered.

"Maybe because I ate people?" he continued.

"You are hungry. It's not your fault." she replied. Pennywise shook his head unbelieving. This girl didn't seem to feel empathy much for others, hm? Though Pennywise. She was really something.

Amy broke Pennywise from his thinking. "But you stopped right?" she asked. He wanted to say no. But then he stopped himself. Thinking about recent days he did stopped eating humans. He didn't even finished the guy from today. What was happening to him?!

And.... was it bad? Probably not. It if made Amy happy he was happy too.

It was getting late as they peacefully sit by the wall and chatting. Amy looking at her watch she sighed before looking at Pennywise. "I'm sorry but it's getting late, and I need to be home by five." she explained and dusted herself off as she stood up.

Pennywise followed soon after and smiled at her. "I don't mind. Do you want me to walk you home?" je asked. Not that there was anything scary in this town beside him but when he spend time with Amelia he was never bored. She could talk about anything and he would listen.

"That would be super great!" chuckled Amy and jumped little in the air happily. She then took his hand as they started walking.

They arrive in front of Amy's house right on time. Before however she went inside, the little girl looked at Pennywise. "Thank you so much. Today was amazing!" she said before hugging him... Well mostly just his legs. Pennywise getting used to these hugs now he bend down and hug her back. "I guess so." he replied.

"I think you should come to lunch today!" suggested Amy as she looked at the watch if she still had time to talk outside. Pennywise looked at her confused. "Lunch?" he wanted to decline but when he saw Amy's cute face he really couldn't just refuse. "Alright then, I'll visit tomorrow." he said and smiled at the girl before taking off Amy's hat he had the whole time and put it on her head. She said a small thank you before they said goodbye to each other and Amy went to her house. She happily greeted her mom and announced that she invited her new friend to the lunch tomorrow. Her mother was more than happy to see her daughter was making more friends and said that it's alright.

AN: I drew little Amelia. So you can all have idea view on how she looks like.
