Turtle = Pagong
(P)anchito (Agong)
Get it? Hehe. So yes, it is the old man who's the turtle.
But he won't be hanging around too soon.
Panchito briefly but thoroughly explained to her the process of purifying an ancient demon. It was surely difficult and a little too complex for an eighteen year old girl to comprehend and remember, but she made sure she did. Alissa made sure that she didn't miss a thing from Panchito's explanation.
She's never been so focused in her life, as she stared at him. All the research she had done was nothing compared to his wisdom.
Alissa then found out that only a sacrificial virgin could purify her mate-a demon. Such a ritual can be done during the third intercourse where the demon unites with its willing mate by releasing itself freely and by chanting a line after. She even discovered that the success of copulation can only happen if she consented or willingly agreed to have intercourse, which she started to comprehend why the clown didn't even try to rape her.
Panchito had to repeat the line three times before Alissa could glue it into her head. She whispered the line to Panchito which he confirmed was correct. They both stopped talking right when they arrived at Panchito's ride. They were beginning to be flooded by students trying to reach to him, forcing them both to be separated. Alissa didn't mind, although, she felt nervous now that she knew something this miraculous was possible.
She caught Panchito still looking at her and noticed him smirk at her before the door closed completely and the car drove off.
Alissa turned around, clutching her camera, and walked off on her own.
Dave, who was talking to the staff, Gaia, saw her and did not hesitate to approach her. Gaia noticed Dave staring, "Is that the girl?"
He kept his eyes at her, waiting until she walked by, "Yeah. That's her." He excused himself and walked beside Alissa,
"Hey."
She looked at him with startled eyes,
"Sorry," he tried to chuckle, "What happened back there?"
Alissa shook her head and kept walking as he kept up, "Nothing. Just being curious, that's all."
"Huh," he tried not to force it out of her, "You know I could try to arrange a meeting for you with Mr. Agong-"
"-No that won't be necessary."
"Oh alright."
Alissa was nearing her car, "I got what I needed." She opened her car door,
"Alright." Dave was still curious, "I didn't know you were into that kind of stuff."
Alissa cleared her throat, "Yeah, there are a lot of things you really don't wanna know about me."
"Sounds interesting." He chuckled again and leaned his hand against the car door, almost wanting to tell her not to go yet. Dave was too curious and interested in Alissa. She was mysterious, and he liked that. She wasn't all over him like the other girls, and now he found himself subtly chasing after her. "Maybe I'd get to know you more then?"
Alissa looked at his hand, then at his eyes, "I gotta go."
"I'll see you around?"
She grimaced and entered her car, then finally drove off, leaving Dave still curious about her sudden interest. He turned to glance at his co-staff who shrugged at him.
The warm mug in Alissa's hand heated her palms as she held it to her lip. She stared out the window of the dining area, patiently waiting for the clown to finally appear as she enjoyed her drink.
Alissa took a sip of the sweet and hot drink from her mug, keeping her eyes at the window. It snowed, and now, she was observing the trace of moist and snow on her window.
"Is it warm enough for ya?" That familiar, raspy, teasing voice turned up behind her, making her pause. She could not help but smile. But then, she reminded herself to balance her feelings. She was new to this whole control-your-feelings thing. And although it did not work completely, she still managed to keep the clown not trembling in utter fear of her overbearing courage nor her pure heart.
She heard Pennywise's footsteps as It walked to the other side, giving her finally a glimpse of the clown. She observed Its child-like face, smirking down at her. It looked so cute, she thought. Oh how it felt so nice to admit that to herself. She smiled warmly at the clown.
"Actually," Alissa glanced at the mug as she placed it down then at It with a seductive look, "I kinda wish I didn't ask for me-time last night." Behave, Alissa, she reminded herself as she noticed the clown purr subtly.
"You sent me away, silly." Pennywise pouted,
Alissa stood from her seat and walked over to the living room, "Then again, I don't regret it." she sighed and turned around only to be startled by Pennywise standing right in front of her,
"I would've given you a hug."
She heard the clown growl lowly and she felt Its eyes all over her body. She felt a tingling sensation.
Alissa tried to stop herself from feeling whatever. Knowing about the third ritual, she knew she had to be cautious when it came to sex. She couldn't risk it. It would probably be best to avoid it.
"You and I know that won't end with just a hug." She turned away and started walking again,
"And wouldn't you like that?"
She stopped walking, shut her eyes tightly, and tried not to react. Alissa turned around again and saw Pennywise rub Its belly, "I'm all cozied up!" It teased playfully,
Alissa couldn't stop herself from chuckling. She chuckled at Its playfulness. For the first time, she allowed herself to laugh at It. She found the clown too adorable. She hated herself for not noticing all along.
"Well..." she glanced outside the window, "Cuddling would be nice." She said with a straight face, stopping herself from laughing, while Pennywise smirked at her request.
