I Only own Penny

"Stop calling me Darling. I have a name you know."

"Oh?" He drew out the word "And pray tell what is it Darlin'?"

That bastard, putting emphasis on the word just to make her mad. What she wouldn't give to wipe that sneer off his face. With a blush now warming her cheeks she says it.

"Penny."

His grip on her hand tightened at the mention of her name. "Oh is it now?" There was an unnamable hint to of something in his eyes as he looks at her. Penny isn't too sure if she liked it.

His hand that was still holding hers gave a powerful yank. Penny gasped as she was jerked to her feet. Her body lurching towards his. Her nose now pressed against the large red foam one on his. Her eyes stared into his white ones, though his eyes seemed to stare into her soul.

Penny gulped heavily not knowing what to do. Should she kick him where it would hurt or run? The grip he had on her hand tightened making her flinch.

The rabbit in her arms started to become restless bringing her attention back to it. "Um..." She said trying to find her words.

"Yes?"

"Do you know who owns this rabbit?" Slowly his brow arched as his eyes drift slowly down. Making sure to look at her first before he looked at the rabbit.

"Hmm." He said making his voice became deeper, resonating and vibrating in his chest. Opening his mouth to speak he was instantly cut off by a high pitched voice.

"Harry!"

Penny leaned to the side to peak around the larger frame in front of her to see. A man in a red magician's garb and painted face was running towards them.

Hobo Clown's eyes rolled up as he groaned in annoyance letting her hand drop from his reluctantly. "There you are! Bad Mr. Bunny running away like that." He scooped up the rabbit in his arms "How...wait who are you?" He asked finally taking notice to Penny standing there.

Penny looked at the Magician startled "W-well I-"

"She found your stupid rabbit." Hobo Clown said in a deep grumble.

"He is not stupid!"

"Was stupid enough to get lost..."

"You take that back!" Penny looked between the two noting the sneer on Hobo Clown's face returning.

"No."

"No?"

He chuckled again, that deep sound resonating in his chest. A sound that gave Penny goosebumps. "No."

The Magician got a pinched look on his face. "Are you sure you don't want to take that back?" He asks in a sickeningly sweet voice as his hand gripped his wand.

Another chuckle from the clown. "I'm sure."

A malicious grin came to the face of the thinner man as he spoke through clenched teeth. "Well if you're sure..." With a flick of his wand Hobo Clown was sent flying through the air and lands with a dull thump in the dumpster. A small groan of pain echos out of the dumpster and as Hobo Clown tries to stand the dumpster lid slams down on his head. This only earned and even louder groan of pain from the Clown.

The dumpster started to shake it seemed as though The Magician didn't want the Clown to escape.

"Um..." penny turned back to The Magician who only gave her a smile. He retrieved the bunny from her arms happily.

"Thank you for finding him."

"Its no trouble-"

"What's your name?"

"Penny," The Magician smiled again but his smile faded as they heard the dumpster rumble. "I think its time we got him out." He waved his wand but nothing happened.

He hit it against his knee a few times before waving it again. This time the wand only sparked "Thats not good."

Penny went over to the dumpster throwing the lid open. "No don't!" Looking over her shoulder at the Magician for a moment was just enough. The dumpster lid came down swallowing her whole.

"Oof!" She groaned "Well this is just great." Only then did she realize that she was sitting on top of something soft.

"Well...fancy meeting you here."

Penny was thankful the dumpster was dark, for her cheeks had begun to feel red hot. She gulped feeling her body freeze up when a pair of hands were now laying on her hips. A deep rumble echoed from the body below her as he seemed to chuckle. The dumpster lid opened and Penny felt herself counting her lucky stars the instant she saw light.

"Leaving me already?" He said in a pout like voice as she tried to stand. She looked down at him, seeing his face twisted in a playful pout with his lip stuck straight out.

Shaking her head she stood straight up eyes looking over the rim of the dumpster. Her heart stopped when she saw a large man dressed in black. He glared at her with his one eye. Penny felt a pang of fear run through her as her body slowly sank back down.

She turned to the Clown who was lounging amongst the garbage. "Hey," He looked up at her duly.

"Hmm?"

"If you get me out of here I will resist the urge to punch you in that big red nose of yours.

"Hmmmmmmmmm..." He pondered "Not very tempting." he laid back down with his hands crossed behind his head and hat now pulled over his eyes.

"Oh come on! Please? Just get me away from here and I'll owe you a favor?"

"A favor?" He sat up looking at her "You got a deal Darlin'."

"Its Penny!"

He looked at her "Alright...Penny..." I'll help you out but." He started pushing trash bags around "I will need you to help me push some of this trash around. I am looking for a small red lever."

Penny got down on her knees and started moving the trash around "Um...Oh you mean this one?"

"Is it red?"

"I think so." She looked up as a gloved hand reached into the dumpster.

"Shit its the Tamer. Quick pull the lever!" She did and the bottom of the dumpster where Hobo was standing opened dropping him down into the dark. "Wrong lever!" His voice echoed before there was a heavy 'oof' followed by a loud and hard thud.
