The clown mansion
I`m sitting here in the sewers of Derry. Alone. Corpses of children are flying over my head, I can hear their crying souls. But I`m not here because of them; I`m here waiting for their predator. Sadly he isn`t in his home. My bells are ringing while I`m tapping my feet, waiting already for two days. Alice told my that this is his place, she wouldn`t dare to lie to me. Slowly i rise up from this old rotten chair, searching for the Eldritche for the last time. Mostly old riped clothes and toys lay on the ground. I won`t search in his nest because it`s slimy and disgusting. Althoughs Xinphs and Eldritches are almost the same species, we still have diffrents taste for food and living style. We eat the flesh from parents. We bait the children, telling them that we are their friend. After this we ask them to show us their parents. Nobody can fight against the charming spell of the Xinph. The kids must watch their parents been eaten, so their young soul get destroyed. This cute things are in this state weak, very, very weak. In this state we suck their soul out and but them in our collaction, only a souless shell of flesh is left behind. The funny part is that this trick works with every species in the universe.
After 2 hours of seeking I give up. I can`t smell him around town or feel his supernatural aura, what is confusing me. "I should ask Alice again, maybe she has an idea where he can be.", then I teleport me back to the motel where I left Alice alone. It`s dark now, the shield of the motel flickers. Just like the whole town this motel is so dilapidated. My pink boots hit the doorframe, dust flys in the air. Old me goes to the motel owner, changing my form before I speak to him. The weak man sits bored on his desk, waiting for some clients. A smile lands on his face when I approached him. "How can I help you, Madame?" "My daughter rents an apartment here. May you please tell me which room she took and give me the key for it? Her name is Alice Claw." "Of course, of course. Here is the key for room 3, which is right around the corner.", he hands me the key. Honestly, Pennywise`s nest was cleaner than this motel. Dust on the floor, so thick, you could see Alice`s footprints. The only good thing about this is that Alice hasn`t left the room yet. I open the door for room 3 which cracks loudly, just like the wooden floor.
"This whole place is more disgusting than the sewers."; I admitte. A quite laugh can be heard on my left side, where an angry and bored Alice is sitting. "This whole town is a hellhole.", she whispers:" Why are you already back. I thought you wanted to have `fun´with Pennywise.", the sarcasem is real. "He isn`t in the sewers." A loud sigh comes out of Alice: "He is in the mansion in the woods." "Isn`t this your old home?" "Don`t reminde me about it.", she snaps. A mean idea gets shot into my head which puts a grin on my face: "I don`t care about your past but one thing is for sure: you are scared. That`s why we both go together to this mansion and find the childeater." Oh, her hatred for me is rising, what makes my blood boiled; I love this feeling. " You know that I ran away 10 years ago. From them, from HIM! My brother and his `friends´.", she spits on my face. "Hahahahha!" "Why are you laughing? What`s so funny?" My stomache hurts of laughter. She is scared. Scared of them. Scared of him. Fingers so sharp like knifes touch the shoulder of the woman. Short, angry breathes comes out of her mouth. Her body leans forward, closer to me. "I know, what you are thinking, Candy. You want me to lead you to the mansion." "And that we both meet them, kid." "You wicked alien.", Alice says to me. She walks past me quickly, opening the door:"Let`s go. I will show you my old home."
We are in the middle of the forest. More like in the middle of nowhere, where a big old house is standing. The light is on but no sounds come out of this funny looking house. Behind me stands Alice, who isn`t really happy about this at all. I wouldn`t be happy about it either. She had a reason to run away. "Let`s go.", I wave my hand. She nods her head. We take the secret door to go inside, which my daughter`s student remembers. We reach the cellar; It`s dark and smells rotten. Everywhere is blood, bones lay also on the ground. A shiver goes over my shoulders. "I like them already. They are gory." Alice only rolls her two diffrent coloured eyes. The door is left open by someone; The floor is lighten but still no one is in sight. Cheez, maybe they are boring. It`s to quite for my liking, my bells sound like gun shoots.
"Hey, Pennywise. Finally you are coming for the meeting. We are waiting for ages." Around the corner walks a clown, who has a big scar on his left eye. When he saw me he got a shocked expression. "Hi, Stitches.", Alice steps in front of me:"Long not seen." Suddelny the clown starts runnig; We follow him immediatly. During the chase, I noticed that the mansion has many rooms but doesn`t have many furniture. It`s actually really empty. Their home kind of reminds me of Akro`s room and I don`t want to think about him. He makes me angry, FURIOUS, but also scares me. You must know that we Xinph can only mate with one signal person in our life. A barrier formes around us if another person tries to mate with you. it`s not possible to break this barrier. I shake my head wildly. It´s not the right time to think about this. Hell, It`s never the right time to think about him. The clown Alice called Stitches turns to a big door and pushes it open. Shortly after him, me and Alice stop too. Before me stand weird looking clowns who all have a diffrent dressing style.
"The fuck! I didn`t know you can shape in a sexy form, Penny.", the one with the horned mask says. He starts to laugh hysterically; what`s so funny about that? Out of instinct I join him. "What`s going on here?", a confused Pennywise steps into the room. The laughter abrupt quickly; everybody looks between me and Pennywise. He sighs:"What are doing here, Candy Candy. Didn`t I made it clear last time that I don`t want to see you ever again." "Is this your ex girlfriend? I`m jealous!" "Shut up, Horny. We are not friends and especially not an ex couple." Slowly with elegant moves I approach him, passing the other evil clowns with a big grin. If they only no that I pushed them into my destiny. My fingers crawl over his tensed chest, excitement rise inside me. He always gets so fast angry: "We could change that." The eldritch grits his teeth, I wanted to tease him a little bit more but fake vomit sound interrupt me.
"Really, kid. You destroyed the mood." Alice facepalmes:"Which mood? Your slutty behaviour?" "Who is this?", Stitches asks before I could roast Alice back:"She knows my name. I don`t like her." "Kill her!", my old enemie orders. The demon clown already wanted to jump on Alice but I stopped him before he could finish his plan. "Everybody calm down.", some listen to my suggestion and drop their weapons. "She is someone you know." The confusion on their faces can`t be over seen until they recognize her.
