Chapter 4

Nothing more was heard of on the Cullen's the next couple of days and Bella returned to work. So far those boys hadn't bothered her anymore. Pennywise in his human form picked her up from work the next day she had to go in after taking her hunting with her. She didn't even know he was there until she walked out of the bookstore to head home and she saw Pennywise's human form leaning against the wall and an older women standing there talking to him. He looked very annoyed and wasn't responding to any of her questions. Bella felt rage and possessiveness boil inside her as she marched up to them.

Pennywise felt her coming and looked over and smirked. She had fire in her eyes and a glare on her face and he couldn't wait to see what she would do. This bleach blonde harlot was moments away from becoming his next meal just due to the fact she smelled like horrible perfume and she was pissing him off. Now it seems Bella wanted a piece of her too.

Bella walked up and pushed the women to the side before wrapping both her arms around Pennywise's human neck and smiled at him. One of his arms immediately going around her waist.

"Hey baby." She purred before planting her lips over his. It was the first time they had kissed and even if it was for show because she was a little jealous it still moved him in ways nothing else ever had. She tasted amazing and smelled delicious up close like always and the feel of her lips against his made him hot all over. He had never felt anything like this before but he wasn't going to pass this up.

Sliding his other hand in her hair he growled lowly against her lips before opening his mouth and running his tongue along hers. She moaned and opened for him and he damn near devoured her mouth in ways he'd never done to his meals.

He smelled the nasty perfume disappear as the blonde huffed and stomped off but he just continued to kiss her. How she could willingly kiss him and seem to really enjoy it if her scent was anything to go by was beyond him. She knew who he was, what he was and still didn't seem to care.

When she needed to breathe she slowed the kiss reluctantly because damn she'd never been kissed like that before. Edward's had been cold and barley a peck here and there and the one kiss she shared with Jacob was sloppy and wet and did nothing for her. This though, this was a damn kiss and he laid it on her thoroughly leaving her head spinning.

Pulling back she blushed at his smirk and laid her forehead against his chest as he stood from the wall and chuckled at her embarrassment.

"Not that I'm complaining but what brought that on?" he ask her and she chuckled against his shirt.

"I've been thinking about it for a while but then that bitch was standing here lusting after you I lost it. You have no idea how much I wanted to strangle her." Bella admitted and Pennywise growled lowly. He loved hearing her talk like that.

"You've been thinking about kissing me huh?" he ask smirking and she rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to say something when she heard someone calling her name. They both looked over to see her boss running towards her in alarm.

"Bella, thank god I caught you. Can you stay for a few more hours until closing please? My husband's car broke down in Bangor and I need to go pick him up, I'll pay you overtime for sure?" she begged and Bella nodded.

"Sure. I can do thank." She said and the lady thanked her repeatedly, waved to Pennywise before hurrying off to her car.

"Well, I guess I need to get back in there. I'll see you later back at home?" Bella ask and Pennywise nodded, pulled her closer and kissed her again before leaving to head back to his lair. A lot of thoughts running ramped through his head.

The next few hours seemed to fly by and at 6 she closed up the shop. She had only had a few customers after her boss left and was able to get a lot of stocking done. Plus overtime pay would be nice. Tossing the shop key into her back pack she started to walk home. The wind blew a little and Bella realized the season was changing as it was already starting to get dark and the air cooler.

A car door shutting caught her attention and she saw those two guys that creped her out the other day standing against a truck, leering over at her. When they made a move to follow she felt her stomach churn. She couldn't take them to her house and by the time she got there they would catch her by then so she looked back at them and bolted into the woods.

"Shit." She heard them as she slide down the hill and headed the same way she ran when Victoria was chasing her only these two boys were determined to catch her not play with her first but she ran as fast as she could. She splashed into the river in the Barren's and headed towards the tunnels. She needed to get close enough Pennywise could hear her. She wasn't far from the tunnels when she felt arms shove her back.

Gasping she fell into the very shallow water. Her back pack was ripped off her and tossed to the side and landed right inside the tunnel. She opened her mouth to yell but a hand slapped over her mouth and she was turned around.

Both boys standing there holding her down and leering down at her. She glared and them as she tried to break free. When Brad's hand removed from her mouth she planned to yell again but grunted in pain when he back handed her hard across the face. She tasted her blood in her mouth as her head slammed to the side, cold water soaking her hair and clothes as she tried to catch her breath again.

"Big mistake bitch. Now your ours." The shaved headed guy said as he took out a switch blade and clicked it open. Kneeling down at her head he took her arms and pulled them behind her back as he handed his friend the knife that had moved to straddle her waist and stop her from kicking him.

When she felt the slice of the blade tear the front of her shirt open and nick the skin on her stomach she froze in fear and anger. Taking a deep breath she screamed.

"Pennywise. Help I need you. Pen help me." She screamed towards the tunnel opening. One of them clamped a hand over her mouth as they tried to get her jeans open. She kicked up the fighting then. Trying to kick and squirm her arms lose. Hands wrapped around her throat and cut off her air supply to try and stop her motions. Fear slammed into her hard then as her vision narrowed and she gasp for air. She felt a probing in her mind quickly followed by a vicious, loud growl that had both boys freezing in fear as they looked over towards the tunnel opening.

Bella's head rolled to the side as her eyes became droopy. Pennywise the clown was standing in the tunnel opening and she'd never seen him look scary or more pissed then he was now. He was staring at her and then to the boys, eyes blood shot red. One of the boys released her neck as she took a deep pull of air and she coughed and shivered as the cold water too effect.

"Make it fucking hurt babe." She barley whispered out as her eyes closed. The last thing she heard was a roar of anger followed by two different screams of fear and pain before it all went black.

Pennywise thought he knew anger and fear the moment the loser club injured him. That was nothing at all compared to the fear he felt when Bella's voice reached him and he heard the fear in it. Then the anger he felt when he saw two fucking human punks holding his Bella to the ground, lip bleeding, shirt ripped, stomach bleeding and gasping for air as they held her down and chocked her. The look on her face as she started losing consciousness made his heart freeze. When she whispered those words to him.

"Make it fucking hurt babe." He did just that. He roared in rage as she passed out and flew towards those boys. He grabbed them both, tossed one into the tunnel hard enough he heard bones break as he ripped into the chest of the other with his claws.

This wasn't about feeding but he was defiantly going to eat them but he wanted them to feel pain first.

"Big fucking mistake asshole." He growled as he opened his mouth as wide as it would go. The boy screamed in pain and fear. More than anyone ever had before as he bit right into his chest and tore out his heart.

Tossing the body into the tunnel he stalked towards the other boy who was crying and begging for his life not able to run as both his legs looked broke.

"Please. I'm sorry." He cried looking at the clown that just killed his friend and had his blood dripping down his face.

"There's nothing on this earth that can save you now." he hissed before flying towards him and biting as many places as he could and clawing his body over and over until the boy drew his last breath.

Standing he tossed both bodies further into the tunnel to retrieve later for feeding as he turned and walked towards Bella's form still lying in the cold river water, passed out cold. He was panting and trying to reel in his anger as he went to her. Washing his face and hands quickly he lifted her into his arms, grabbed her back pack off the ground and vanished into his lair.

He needed to take her where he knew she would be safest to heal and protect her. His body on complete mate protective mode right now and nothing else matter but healing her right now.

He laid her on the mattress in his crate before vanishing to retrieve the two bodies before shutting the large round door to his lair, blocking the world out for right now before tossing those bodies to the side for later.

Going to Bella he crawled over her and smelled her body. Nothing was broken he could tell that, the bleeding on her stomach and lip were not fatal but her body temperature was too cold and she needed to be warmed up quickly. Bending down he licked the wound on her stomach groaning at her taste as it healed with his saliva and did the same to her lip.

Then he processed to remove all the wet clothes from her body and toss them to the side. He left her under things on so not to embarrass her too much. He tried to ignore the way his body responded to every inch of her skin that was reviled to him and it was difficult but he knew his mate was injured so he pushed those lustful thoughts to the side for later. Once she was free of the soaking wet clothes he vanished for only seconds to grab the blankets off her bed before wrapping them tightly around her body rubbing quickly over her with his hands to try and build heat and friction to get her blood circulating again.

When he checked her over again her pulse was still too slow for his liking and he couldn't penetrate her mind to check on her and she was very pale. He did the only other thing he knew to heal her faster. Something he'd absolutely never done before. He opened her mouth and tilted her head back, sliced his wrist with a clawed finger and let some of his dark blood drip into her mouth. When she swallowed a few times he healed his wrist and checked her again.

Her color started to return to her cheeks and her breathing was steady and her pulse picked back up and he sighed in relief. She was going to be ok.

Shifting into his human form he slipped under the clovers with her he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his body. He wasn't moving until she woke up.

Looking down at her he took deep breaths of her scent keeping tabs on the changes as she started to get better. He thought over how different his life had become since the moment her very presence woke him up. As he looked down at her he realized he had actually fallen in love with her, with a human. How was that possible? A creature like him couldn't love right? He'd never entertained the thought, never wanted to. But now, Bella this strange girl that looked at weird things different, felt no fear for him has changed everything. He loved her and now he just had to see if she felt the same. If she did, the curse would be broken if she agreed to be bound to him for eternity. He wouldn't have to be alone again.
