Pennywise doesn't talk to me for the next several days. He just glares at me and turns away or disappears. Then, finally, on the 30th of October, I'm able to talk to him. He starts to turn away, but I grab him by his ruffles and drag him into my bedroom. I shut and lock the door. Then, I take him to my bed and pin him down.
"Why haven't you been talking to me?" I ask.
He just turns his head and stares at the door. I pull his head back to looking at me and plant a kiss on his lips. I pull away and look him directly in the eyes.
"I lied to you about just having a gut feeling of your being limited to the Derry city limits changing. I know it will. Just like I said that day I killed Jacob, I'm not human. I never was. I am an evil entity from space just like you. An IT from a different macroverse than your own. I traveled here after a planet I was on ended. I was looking for a new planet to go to. I found out about this solar system creating and watched all of it create. I watched life form on earth, I watched the dinosaurs come and go, and I also watched your arrival. I am turning 8 billion years old tomorrow. And if you come to the school tomorrow and go along by my side, you won't regret it. I can definitely promise you that."
He just growls in response. Then, he pulls me into a kiss and before I know it, I'm having romance with Pennywise the Dancing Clown. After about three hours, I fall asleep lying on him, with my head resting on his left shoulder and his arm wrapped around me.
*****
The next day, I wake up with my face in the ruffles of Pennywise's suit. I groan when I notice I had drooled in my sleep. I turn over and stretch. I get up and check the time. It's 6:15 a.m. I grab my black cloak and black gloves. I put them on and smile at myself in the mirror as I paint the clown make up on my face. Then, I put on my sunglasses and go downstairs. I check to make sure I don't need anything else. I walk out the door and go to the high school. As soon as I get there, I go to the stage in the gym and go into a little room to the right of the curtains. I take out a shiny pink bag with objects that look like marbles and set them up in a little trinket. I chant a foreign chant in a supposed alien "language" and leave, making sure the room can't be gotten into. Then, I go blow a powder into the janitor's face, making him pass out and take the keys to the room. I go to the bathroom and flush the keys down the toilet. I leave the bathroom and go to class, knowing what's going to happen this afternoon.
Finally, the end of the school day is here and before the bell rings, there's an announcement on the overhead speaker.
"After the bell rings, everyone needs to go to the gym and stay in the back right corner near the doors leading to outside. There is a room on the stage that is smoking for some reason and cannot be opened. The janitor is not able to find his keys, so we are trying to find a safe way to open the door without hurting anyone before it bursts open. Thank you."
The bell rings and we head to the gym. As soon as we get to the doors, I disconnect from the rest of my group and go to the locker room. I get in there and take off my black cloak and gloves. I take off my sunglasses and put all three things in a locker. Then, I go to the gym and sneak up on the stage. I peak through the curtain and find everyone whispering and wondering what's going on. I snicker and go to the room that has smoke pouring from the door. I pull out my switchblade and flip out the blade. I act like I'm looking at my nails and say,
"You know, not a wise idea to open that door, or else you all will be brutally killed. There won't be any recognition at all."
They turn around and gape at me.
"Oh, I'm sorry. How on earth do you know that that's what is going to happen? Also, you aren't supposed to be back here."
"Last time I checked, you aren't my boss. Also, I know that because I set up something in that room that caused that to happen. And in the next two hours, it will burst out of the room and there is nothing you can do to stop it."
"I can't see you clearly. Step out of the dark."
I step into the light and they all gasp. One even stumbles backward.
"Wh-who are you?"
I grin, doing the same lip curl Pennywise does. "Your worst nightmare. Your every fear combined. Now get out of my goddamn way," I add, growling. I shove them out of the way. "This is my property and I'm not going to let anyone ruin tonight. This is day to shine. I am 8 billion years old today and I will do everything I can to let everyone know who's boss. And no one will stop me."
They all back away and I notice one. I grab him by the collar and pull him back. I let the rest run off. I pin the one that's left to the wall and grin.
"Billy boy. Where's the rest of your stupid losers?" I growl.
"They're here in the school. They'll stop you. We'll stop you and Pennywise."
I laugh evilly. "You can't stop me. I'm SO close to impossible to kill. And Pennywise will soon be the same way. I am the most powerful evil entity in all of space. And honey, space never ends." I stab him in the gut with my switchblade and then cut out his heart. I smile at him with sharp teeth and shove his heart in my mouth. He drops to the floor, dead. I hear cheering outside, in the gym. I move over to the curtains and find them open. The mayor is standing there. I start to approach him and stop as he says,
"I am proud to announce that this city now belongs to my daughter, Jennifer Henderson."
I watch in disgust and hatred as she struts up to the stage in her designer clothes. At this moment, I decide to shut out the lights. They go out and everyone starts scrambling around. I go behind the mayor and bring my arm around to his chest. I shove my switchblade into his chest. I hear a cracking sound as his ribs break. I pull out my switchblade and he falls to the floor with a thud. I drag him away and rip out his heart. I consume it and go over to where the mayor was standing. I push the microphone to the floor and everyone screams as the overhead speakers let out really loud, ear-piercing static. I laugh and unplug the microphone. Then, I put the song What's My Name by China Anne McClain from the movie Descendants 2. Everyone stops screaming and I turn the lights back on, grinning. They gasp and look to the stage.
"Hello," I say, just as my deadlights burst out of the room that smoke was curling out of. "It's nice to meet you stupid, little, puny, helpless humans."
"Beverly Phillipson?" Jennifer squints at me.
"Sorry, she doesn't exist. She never did. And the name was actually Penny Rose Phillipson, thanks."
"Then who are you if you aren't that stupid slut?"242Please respect copyright.PENANAeGKkAr03dI
"For one, she wasn't a slut, thanks. Also, I am Penny the Dancing Clown," I add, bowing theatrically.
She snorts. "Psh. That's stupid. You really think I'm going to--"
I jump off the stage and pick her up, holding her by her throat. She gags and struggles.
"You don't want to try me, little lady."
She glares at me. I open my mouth and show her my deadlights personally. Surprisingly, she floats into the air and stays. I watch as she stays suspended in the air with her mouth hanging open. Suddenly, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and a spear-like object goes into my gut and comes out my back. I look down at the object and look back up at the person who stabbed me.
"Ben Hanscom. Hello." I grab the "spear" and pull it out. I immediately feel the wound healing. Suddenly, blood sprays all over my outfit and I look up just in time to see Ben fall to the floor, dead.
Someone giggles. "Oops. My bad. Hope you enjoy death."
I look up to see Pennywise. He smirks.
"One less Loser. Richie's dead, Beverly Marsh is dead, Ben Hanscom is dead, Bill Denbrough is dead. All I need to do, is find Mikey."
I feel a tap on my shoulder and stab the person with the spear I'm holding. I turn around to find Mike Hanlon fall to the floor.
"Bye-bye, crackhead." I smirk and look around the gym. My deadlights are killing quite a bit of people.
Suddenly, Pennywise turns around and looks up. I cover his eyes with my hand and he starts to push it away.
"Don't," I whisper in his ear. "Unless you want to experience being suspended in the air and seeing your past play out starting from the present."
He turns around and looks at me. "I was staring at them before I found you. And nothing happened." I see amusement in his eyes and immediately understand that he has some of my powers now. "And before I came here, I went to Bangor, Maine. I visited Stephen King disguised as you. He was surprised when I showed myself. And for some reason, he begged me to kill him. He said he was in pain. So I killed him. He was delicious."
"Was he really?" I wrap my arms around his neck. He wraps his arms around my waist, leans in, and kisses me.242Please respect copyright.PENANAvn31iFPrFA
"Why are your deadlights blue with hints of violet?" he asks after kissing me.
"Mostly because I'm the most powerful entity ever to exist. I'm quite a bit older than you too. I'm 8 trillion years old today."
"Happy birthday, then." 242Please respect copyright.PENANANol1ECHtub
"Why thank you."
"Anytime."
"When am I going to get offspring?"
"Whenever I'm ready to give it to you."242Please respect copyright.PENANAJF5tuUVPqX
He frowns. "Bummer. That's disappointing."
I laugh. "You're funny."
"Yeah, sure I am."
I pull him closer and kiss him.
"I love you," I say.
"Even though I thought I'd never say this, I love you too." He kisses me.
