shadowkitten: Hello hello! It's nice to see everyone again.
To GigglingFangirl and JaneAndAnnaShenanigans, I would like to say thank you for reviewing all the current chapters.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Roll 'em!
It was still dark as the night before when Lily woke up.
She had woken up because of a loud growl coming from her stomach.
'That's right... I haven't eaten since lunch at the sanitarium...'
"Good morning lollipop!"
"Have you come to torment me some more?"
"Actually I brought you something to eat."
The thought of food made her mouth water. But she wouldn't let him know it.
"Really? That's rather nice of you." She said with sarcasm.
"Still sore about the whole forcing you to be my new attraction thing huh?"
"Gee, what do you think?!"
"Don't worry. It's not like I decided to save you instead of letting you be raped by a creepy doctor and gave you a home instead of you living in a padded cell at some sanitarium for the rest of your life." he said with just as much sarcasm.
"Well, that is true, but it's your fault I was in that sanitarium in the first place."
"No, you were merely a victim of circumstance. You just HAPPENED to be there when I killed the child, and thus were blamed for it. It's not my fault her parents and the human law enforcement didn't believe you."
"Ugh! Can we just forget this? It's not going to change the fact that I'm stuck here for the rest of my life!"
"Well you started it."
"...Real mature..."
He began to laugh. It was high pitched and creepy, sending shivers down here spine.
"Who said I was mature?" He said after he finished.
Shaking off the odd feeling his laughter gave her, she replied, "I guess I deserved that for assuming a homicidal clown was mature in the first place..."
"Well you need to eat so we can start your training." He handed her a tray with eggs and toast on it.
"I'll be back in twenty minutes to take you to the training area. Be finished by then."
Lily ate as quickly as she could, which was pretty fast considering how hungry she was.
'Man, that feels better...' she thought.
Sitting in the cage with not but her thoughts, she grabbed her journal and decided to write.
To tell the truth
I've had enough
There is no honor,
there is no love.
The more I try,
the harder they resist.
Truth and justice
No longer exist.
"Getting ready for tonight already?"
"I just felt like writing is all..."
"Well, you can finish later. It's time to start training."
"What am I training to do anyways?"
"Juggling."
"That doesn't sound too hard..."
"This is too hard!" Lily said after trying for hours to juggle three small balls in the air. She couldn't get it going for even two seconds. Laughing Jack had even taken her chains off so she could practice better.
"Keep trying." Was all the support she was getting from him.
"How do people do this?"
"Lots of practice... Your not too good at this are you? Your so hot-headed, and impatient."
"Listen you!" She said walking towards him. She failed to notice the ball she had dropped earlier was right in her path.
She tripped over it and ended up landing with her face against Laughing Jack's chest. He had his claws on her arms out of reaction.
Noticing where she was, her face turned cherry red. Her heart started pounding a mile a minute.
"And hello to you too lollipop..." Came his voice, somewhat seductive.
Instantly pushing herself off of him, she glared at him.
"As if!"
He did nothing but smirk.
Turning away from him, she picked up the ball and started trying to juggle again.
After hour upon hour of failed attempts, and nearly pulling her hair out, Lily, who hadn't said anything since crashing into Jack, asked, "Who is the Slender man?"
"...My boss."
"You have a boss?"
"He's the one who gave me the orders to kill the little girl you knew. He's a Marble Hornet."
"Sally had mentioned that... What is a Marble Hornet?"
"You've met Sally?"
"Yes. Last night after the show. She asked me to teach her poetry."
"Hn. Well a Marble Hornet is a creepypasta with infinite powers. There are only two Marble hornets every 30 million years. The current ones being Zalgo and Slender man. There powers are godlike in comparison to the average creepypasta, and they decide who the new pastas will be. When one Marble Hornet retires, one of their proxies takes their place. Understand?"
"I do but, wow... 30 million years..."
"Our ways are much different than those of humans as you will find out soon enough."
"Will I get to teach Sally then?"
"You will. Sally is very dear to Slender man. He treats her like a child he would never be able to have. So if she wants you to teach her poetry, you would have no choice."
"*gulp*"
When Sally had arrived at the Monochrome circus an hour later with a boy in a white blood-stained hoodie and Glasgow smile, who was followed by a demon dog of some sort, Lily was more than a bit nervous.
"Hello Miss Lily! I hope you don't mind, but I brought my friend Jeff and his dog . Is something wrong Miss Lily?"
"Nuh-n-nuh-nothing! Nothing is wrong Sally. Why do you ask?"
"You look like your going to be sick..."
"I'm fine. Just a bit nervous."
"Did Mr. Laughing Jack tell you about Papa Slendy?"
"He did..."
"Don't worry. Slendy isn't that mean. He only kills bad people and his future proxies."
"I see... Well it's nice to see you again. What exactly do you want to learn about poetry?"
"Everything!"
Lily smiled. It was good to see someone who was as enthusiastic about poetry as she was.
"Hey lady! How long should this take?" came the impatient voice of the boy next to Sally. He only appeared to be 14, but he scared her witless.
"You can't learn poetry in a single day."
"Ugh! This is going to take forever."
"Please Jeff? Can you stay for just a little while?" said Sally.
"...Okay..."
Lily smiled. It appeared someone had Jeff wrapped around her little finger.
"Let's see, where to begin..."
After an hour of teaching Sally about different types of poetry, Sally and Jeff headed home followed by the large dog with the creepy smile that matched his owners'.
She was somewhat tired, but she knew she had a show to do.
So after working on a song for about 20 minutes, she was brought from her writing when Laughing Jack walked up to her cage.
"The song is not quite finished yet..."
"It wouldn't matter either way. The show is canceled for tonight."
"Oh... I see..."
"You sound disappointed."
"Perhaps, a little..."
"Well, why don't you come with me? I'll let you ride on the Merry-go-round if you'd like."
"...What's the catch?"
"No catch. Just seems to me that you get bored sitting in that cage all day."
"Can I ride the tiger?"
"Only if I get the dragon!"
"Alright."
Am I making LJ or anyone else too OOC? Let me know please!
