Little Penny's pov
I sit down on the rocks and swirl a stick in the water. I've been looking for mom and dad for thirteen years and still haven't found them.
I sigh. "Stupid, stupid, stupid." I growl and throw the stick. I hear someone cry out. I look up and see a little baby emerge from the grass. I get up and walk over to him. I kneel down and he looks up at me. "Hey, cutie. What are you doing out here?"233Please respect copyright.PENANAbXsbCrwWM4
He sits down and raises his little arms. Little tear droplets form in his eyes and he says, "HOLD ME!"
I stand up and pick him up. I hold him close. He snuggles closer and looks up at me.
"Oh, you're so cute. You make me want to cry."
"Momma."
"No, I'm not momma."
"Dadda."
"I'm not dadda, either."
"Sissy?"
"Sissy? What?" I look closer at him. I gasp. "Oh my gosh. You're my little brother." I pull him closer. "I'm not giving you up."
I brush through the grass and head to my refuge: the empty, worn-out shelter. I go inside, shutting the door behind me. I walk over to the table and set him down. I grab a chair and sit down right in front of him.
"So, what's your name?"
"Wittle Pennywise."
"Little Pennywise?"
"Yah!"
"I think I get it now. Instead of Penny Junior and Pennywise Junior, they decided to name us Little Penny and Little Pennywise. Makes sense."
"Sissy!"
"What?"
"Me hungwy."
"Me too." I get up. "I'll be right back. Nobody will find you here. I promise."233Please respect copyright.PENANADslFzzLgTO
"Pwomise pwomise?"
"Yes. Promise promise." I turn away head out. First, I go to the supermarket. I grab a backpack and take it with me to the food. I shove a bunch of food in the backpack and put it on. Then, I pickpocket someone and take their paper cash. They have a credit and debit card, so they'll be fine. I go to the cash register and slam the money down. I head out. And of course, the alarm goes off. I disappear and reappear at a nursery. I snatch a child and take it with me to the shelter. Once at the shelter, I go inside with the kid in hand and the backpack of food. I shut the door behind me and go over to Little Pennywise. I set the backpack on the table and sit down, keeping my grip on the child.233Please respect copyright.PENANApCLuKvLsDg
Little Pennywise moves closer. I'm guessing he can smell the child's fear too. I taunt and tease the little kid until I can't stand it anymore. I bite his arm off and let the kid fall to the floor. I look up to see Little Pennywise watching me hungrily. He jumps to the floor and races after the crawling child. The child screams and I see tears pouring down her cheeks.
"No, please!"
Little Pennywise sits down and reaches for the child's hand. The child lashes out and he scoots back. This happens three more times until he finally gets his own meal. Little Pennywise crawls over to me with the child's hand dangling from his mouth by a finger. He sits at my feet and chews at the hand.
He looks up at me and smiles.
I smile back. "You're just so cute."
An hour later, he's asleep on my feet. I pick him up and pry the hand out of his little gloved hands. I set it on the table and go over to my makeshift bed. I lie down and pull him close.
