Author's Note: Just a heads up, there is a part in the chapter that is a little graphic in a violent way. It's not too graphic, but I just want to give a heads up. A hint of what it is, well, let's just say it is Scarlett's cravings. So, here is a heads up. Thank You!

Chapter: Growing Cravings
…..
…..
…..
The temperature was becoming warmer, and it was a factor in the reason that Scarlett wanted to fill the bathtub with ice and lay in it.
Scarlett did not mind the summer, but she was more the type that enjoyed the temperature in the low seventies where it was not too hot and not too cold, a happy medium. The temperature today was in the high eighties, the air had no moister to it, but it was completely dry.
Scarlett felt that her body was hotter than usual, although she had a feeling on why. Her hands came to rest on the beginning of a round bulge that was getting bigger in the location of her lower abdomen, below her bellybutton, but above her pelvis area.
Pennywise had to start create illusion that she was around almost two months pregnant, especially when it came to going to the doctor's office. She knew that the baby was developing quickly, and she took notice that her body was changing. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she could tell that the baby would be born early. Pennywise would keep informing her that the baby was developing in a healthy state, but growing fast due to being part of the entity. Pennywise appeared to be thrilled that the baby had a part of the entity, to be able to grow fast and to be brought into the world quicker.
"Looking at yourself again, birdie?"
Scarlett eyes moved off her belly to Pennywise, who stood behind her in a bit of a slouch of the shoulders and head a little bowed. The evil entity clown was tall, and the bathroom ceiling was low, thus resulting in Pennywise to slouch a bit.
"I look like I am entering four months." Scarlett said, looking away from Pennywise to turn sideways as she stood in front of the bathroom sink with a mirror over it.
Hands came to brush hers away from her pregnant belly to run over the developing roundness.
"I have been altering anyone that would come in contact with you." Pennywise said, hands running across her pregnant belly.
"Altering with what memory?"
"To make them believe that they had known that you were this many months along. Every time that the baby gets bigger, your body accommodating the size of the baby, I alter everyone's minds to believe they knew that you were this far along." Pennywise explained, hand dropping away.
"Oh, well, thank you." Scarlett whispered, head bowing a little as she stare down at her belly region.
Hands slid over her shoulders from behind, grabbing her shoulders to hold her in place. She felt Pennywise's chin rest on top of her head, the feel of vibration coming from Pennywise who was humming a random upbeat tune.
"It looks like your mother is preparing more than you are, birdie."
"She is overly excited about having a baby in the house." Scarlett mumbled, pulling out of Pennywise hold to walk out of the bathroom.
Scarlett had stepped into her bedroom where there were boxes piled up in a corner. The boxes contained baby items that her mother was buying zealously. She was excited about the fact that she was going to be a grandmother and another baby would be in their lives. Scarlett prayed that the baby looked human because she could not imagine or explain to her mother about the baby if the baby had come out to have supernatural appearances.

"Where do you think you are going?"
Ben froze at the front door that was cracked open, his hand on the door knob. He turned back around slowly to stare at her, standing there with a raise eyebrow.
"I am going to the quarry with Bill and his friends."
Scarlett face soften up as Ben told her this new information. Her eyes flickered to Ben's stomach, where the injury had scabbed over. Every time she helped Ben change the bandages, she became angry over what happened. Yet, at this moment, she was happy at the fact that Ben was hanging out with others kids. He wasn't someone that wanted friends, or care about having friends. For him to want to hang out with others, she was happy.
"Um, okay, just be careful with your injury. Probably have to clean it afterwards." She said softly, crossing her arms over her chest and leaning a bit heavily on her right foot.
Ben gave her a nod before he opened the door to step outside. He turned to look at her as he stood in the doorway.
"I'll be okay, Scar."
"I know, Ben, just being the annoying older sister."
"No, you are just being a concern older sister." Ben smiled before he shut the front door behind him.
Scarlett bowed her head a little as she stood there, thinking about her little brother. She got a smile on her lips at the fact that Ben had friends. Though her smile faltered a little as she realize that Ben's friends were Bill Denbrough and his group of friends. She, of course, thought about what had happened to Bill's little brother, Georgie.
Pennywise was connected with her, and she knew what Pennywise had done. She was curious if Pennywise was going to go after Bill and his group. With Ben included in the Losers' club, she had a feeling that Pennywise would target him too.
"Your mind runs very fast when you are thinking."
Scarlett turned around to see Pennywise, standing in the hallway with a hunch over form. The yellowish gold eyes stared at her, narrowing eyes for a split second and relaxing. Slowly, the ancient entity was walking toward her, reaching out with long fingers to brush against her cheeks.
"Ben is apart of Bill's Losers' club…"
"Ooo, that is what you are worry about." Pennywise smiled widely, cupping her cheeks in its hands.
"You haunt them all, don't you?"
There was no response from Pennywise. The wide smile on Pennywise cherry red lips stayed, but sharp teeth were beginning to extend from between the lips. Scarlett could only stare as she knew that this was her answer. There was no doubt in her mind that Pennywise would haunt the Losers' club.
"You should taste the fear that rolls off of them."
"I do not want to know." Scarlett hissed, pulling her face out of Pennywise hold to walk around the entity.
"Aw, come on, my dear little birdie, take a joke."
"Joke? Are you kidding me?" She turned around to stare at Pennywise in the kitchen doorway.
Scarlett stared at the ancient entity that was slumped in the doorway of the kitchen. There was a fake frown on Pennywise lips which made her to roll her eyes and turned away, walking over to the fridge to pull out a pre-made roast beef sub. She opened the container to pull out the sub, picking up one of the halves.
"I am lured by fear, little birdie." Pennywise said.
Scarlett held a half of the sub in her hands and bit into the sub a bit too aggressively. She did not realize how she was eating the sub, not paying attention to anything but food. Her eyes stared out at the backyard as she finished off one half of the sub and she grabbed the other half, biting into it with a large bite.
"Birdie, birdie, slowly." Pennywise snickered from behind her.
Scarlett paused in chewing, feeling herself come back from wherever her mind wander off to. She realized that she had been in some sort of trance, some sort of daydream as she was eating. She felt her teeth had extended into the sharp canines. The way that she was eating was aggressive, ripping through the sub with vicious bites.
Her left hand came to rest on her pregnant stomach, thinking about the need to eat to stay satisfied. Yet, the style of eating to become satisfy was vicious. Slowly, she began to eat the rest of the sub until she was done. The container was dropped into the sink before she turned around to stare at Pennywise, who stood there.
"Still hungry?" Pennywise cooed.
There was a twinge in her that was still hungry. She turned to the fridge to eat more, but a hand wrapped around her wrist. Her eyes flickered down to see the gloved hand around her wrist causing her to see that Pennywise extended an arm to stretch out to her and grab her. She did not say anything as she felt herself being tug over to Pennywise until Pennywise arms were wrapped around her.
A warm mouth was pressed against her ear and she felt her body being rocked in a gentle sway. She shut her eyes as Pennywise gave off a low growl against her ear, rubbing lips against the shell of her ear.
"You are hungry for more than regular human food."
"No, I will not."
"You can continue to eat and eat, little birdie. You can eat out the whole house and I guarantee you that it will barely touch the hunger that you are feeling." Pennywise said quickly into her ear, turning her around until her back was pressed up against Pennywise chest.
Hands rested against her pregnant belly, both hands were rubbing in a slow circular motion on her belly. She kept her eyes shut as Pennywise continued to talk closely into her ear, making sure that she understood what was being said. Her eyes snapped open and she pulled away from Pennywise, cleaning up the area she ate in before she left the kitchen.
"You can't ignore the urges, Scarlett." Pennywise said as she stepped into her bedroom.
"I will try as long as I can."
There was a loud sigh of annoyance that came from Pennywise. Pennywise dropped backward onto her bed and laid there, not staring at her as she was pacing around her bedroom.
Scarlett was running her right hand through her dark crimson red hair, trying not to think about what Pennywise suggested, or rather, what she might have to do to satisfy the baby that was growing inside of her. She bumped into Pennywise feet that hung off at the end of the bed causing Pennywise to sit right up to stare at her.
When she was turning around from going straight into the bedroom wall during her pacing, she came to a halt as Pennywise was in front of her, staring down at her. The yellowish gold eyes appear to glow brightly for a split second before going back to the abnormal color.
"I will please you by hunting for you."
"I don't want you to hunt for me because that means that you will be bring me…" Scarlett could not even finish the sentence.
She pushed by Pennywise to continue going around her room, trying to think of an alternative to all of this. She turned around to face Pennywise, who was tilting its head back and forth while making a 'tick-tock' sound effect. A glare came onto her face upon Pennywise smartass ways. Her arms crossed over underneath her chest, huffing a little as the underside of her forearms brushed the growing pregnancy bump. Her body was transforming very quickly.
"What about animals? Can that be an alternate?"
Those yellowish gold eyes rolled and that action by Pennywise only made her to glare harder at the entity. She took a couple steps toward Pennywise, wanting an answer as Pennywise did not reply to her question.
"Answer." She whispered, not taking her eyes off of Pennywise face.
"Yes." Pennywise hissed with an unhappy tone.
Scarlett got a small grin on her lips as she found an alternative. She stepped back from Pennywise, staring at the entity that look like it was angry that she would not be more like itself. She sat herself down on the edge of the bed, continuing to stare at Pennywise pout. Pennywise attention soon came onto her as she sat there with a patience expression.
"Stop acting like a child that was told no that they couldn't have candy before dinner."
Pennywise stuck its tongue at her causing her to roll her eyes this time, shaking her head. She stared at Pennywise, walking up to her, but came to a stop to leave about two feet between them. She had to tilt her head back to stare up at Pennywise, who was staring down at her with a smiling beginning to bloom.
"I hope you enjoy raw meat, my little crimson birdie." Pennywise smiled with sharp teeth.
…..

…..
Deep into the woods, away from any trails and any area where someone might wander out. There was a small rustle sound as Scarlett pushed aside a small branch of the shrub she was hiding in. Her eyes set on a deer that was alone, nibbling on acorns that had fallen to the ground.
"Are you going to get it?" Pennywise mumbled behind her.
"I feel bad."
A small tsk escaped Pennywise. She felt the presence of Pennywise vanish in an instant behind her causing her to glance behind her to see Pennywise gone. There was a short cry and then nothing from the spot the deer was in causing Scarlett to whirl back around to see that Pennywise took care of the deer.
"Come, come." Pennywise cooed, waving a hand toward her.
Scarlett stood up from the bushes and took a step forward, but stopped as a breeze brush through the woods. Her eyes shut as she was hit with the scent of fresh blood that was coming from the deer. There was the familiar twist in her stomach, the warm sensation that spread throughout her body and up to her mouth that began to salivate too much.
There was a giggle from Pennywise, who was ripping the meat up for her.
Her eyes snapped open, her canines were extending. She felt her other teeth beginning to move and transform into sharper angles. Her nails extended out into sharp claws. The twist happened again in her pregnant belly, the craving to sink her teeth into the meat was overcoming her senses.
Pennywise was knelt down beside the deer that was torn apart. Pennywise made a low humming sound that turn into a purr to lure her in closer. Scarlett felt her feet move forward, coming closer and closer to the fresh meat.
"Satisfy the cravings of the little one, birdie." Pennywise purred with a wide grin.
Scarlett was on her knees, staring down at the fresh bloody meat. The warm sensation through her body began to turn into hot pins throughout her body. Her mouth was filling with saliva, about to drip out of her mouth at how much was building up.
Hands reached out to grab a piece to bring up to her, but her left hand clamped on the arm and she let out an inhuman growl. Her glowing eyes looked up toward Pennywise, who appeared surprise at her action, but then began to laugh. Pennywise continued to laugh, but collected itself to let out that low tone purr that calm her nerves down.
Scarlett noted how inhuman she felt. She felt her nerves settle down, her mind reminding herself that the ancient entity was her companion that caught this food for her. The cravings were powerful that she was becoming territorial of what was in her possession at the present moment.
"Let yourself go. Accept the urges. Take a bite. Go on, take a bite." Pennywise encouraged, leaning closely to her to press those plump cherry lips against her ear.
"Eat, my little crimson birdie, eat, eat." Pennywise continued with high enthusiasm.
All senses ran wild in that moment. The senses over conquered her mind and she blanked out on what she did next. She could hear Pennywise let out a dramatic cheer and clap of the hands, but then began to laugh in a high pitch tone.
Everything felt hot as she sunk her sharp teeth into the fresh meat, blood smudged all over the lower part of her face. Her hands and parts of her forearm covered in soft brush strokes of blood. The twisting sensation in her stomach began to become less and less the more that she shovel into her mouth.
When the twisting sensation, the craving was gone, Scarlett shut her eyes and tilt her head back, eyes closed and mouth agape as she took in a deep inhale and a loud exhale from her nose. She felt satisfied now, and a pleasantly warm stir was flowing through her body now. She bowed her head, chin rested against her chest as her eyes slid open.
The sight of what she did, what she had to do to stop the craving urges for fresh blood, she almost threw everything back up, but she manage to keep everything down. She turned her head away from the extra pieces of deer meat across the ground that she did not eat. Her eyes would not meet Pennywise as Pennywise knelt down in the spot on the ground that she was staring at.
Dried blood was hardening across the lower part of her face, on her hands and underneath her fingernails. She shut her eyes again, not wanting to move from the spot. The baby that grew in her was not craving anything at the moment, satisfied with the fresh, blood meat that was consumed by Scarlett. As for Scarlett, she could not digest what she had done. Although, she had to assure herself that it was animal meat, and not human; thus, she wasn't that disgusted at what she did. She was glad that the animal meat was an alternative, much to Pennywise displeasure.
Scarlett opened her eyes and let her eyes roam up the squatted form of Pennywise beside her, staring down at her. Her eyes made connection with the glowing gold eyes that brighten up at the sight of her staring up at it.
She could not help the small snarl that came onto her lips. She turned her head away, hearing Pennywise let out a 'tsk' sound.
Long arms came around her, encasing her against a hard chest. She kept her eyes shut, but felt the familiar tug of being warp to another area. When the feel was gone, Scarlett opened her eyes to see that Pennywise teleported them to the Kenduskeag Stream that was near the opening to the tunnel that led into the sewers.
Pennywise set her down on a large boulder that was halfway in the stream and half out of it. She sat on the boulder, staring at the rush of water in the stream that enter into the Barrens area. The reason Pennywise brought her to the stream was to clean herself up, but she sat froze not the boulder as she could see half her reflection in the water.
Hot air was brushing against her ear as she sat there, not moving out of the spot to wash the blood off her face. The hot breath disappeared from the side of her face. Pennywise took one of its gloves off to drip the glove into the stream and then use the glove as a cloth to wipe the blood off of her skin.
The lower part of her face and her hands were cleaned off from the blood. She was beginning to break out of the trance that she put herself in when she thought deeply about the baby's cravings for fresh meat. The baby's craving was due to the fact that the baby was apart of the ancient evil entity that was hovering around Scarlett now.
Scarlett could feel the presence of Pennywise behind her now, hands rested on her shoulders and slid down her arm to wrap long fingers around her biceps. She felt herself being pushed a little forward causing her to look down at the stream, staring at not just her reflection, but Pennywise, who began to transform into Robert Gray.
"Don't we make a lovely couple?" Pennywise over excited voice turned into Robert's smooth and charming voice.
Scarlett continued to stare at their reflection, not replying to his question that he was finding funny. She watched as Robert pressed his lips against the side of her head and then slid down to take a nip at the shell of her ear. She held back a wince, feeling the sharp teeth that almost pierce her skin.
"I must say little birdie, I do love the color red on you." He snickered into her ear, licking a spot on her jawline where a droplet of blood was missed in cleaning her up. The blood droplet disappeared with a swipe of his tongue.
