A towering pile of thick, old books make a thud as Alissa dropped it beside Paul. She saw him from afar and decided that she wanted to tell him about the clown for once and for all. She has been researching about the demon clown and found enough information about him by simply reading the novel about the fictional clown which she thought seemed very accurate. She found out how it lived, how it wakes up every twenty-seven to thirty years, where it's from, and what it wants. She wanted to find it one last time because then, she'd have the guts to finally tell it that she's ready to help it in finding its meal.

Paul looked up at her with wide eyes, then, he looked at the books. He saw the word 'It' on the cover. Paul looked at her again, "Shouldn't you be in class?"

"Shouldn't you be in class, too?" It's true. Alissa was supposed to be in class but instead, she skipped and gave all her time into research,

Paul sensed her boiling, powerful emotion stir up. But he could not tell what it was. The demon clown felt frustrated for being incapable of reading the low-creature it calls a human. It knew that it had to resort to actually asking her, "What is it, Alissa?"

She leaned closer to him, "You want the truth?"

He leaned closer, "Yes?" he sounded menacing to her, and this motivated her even more to tell him,

"Are you sure you can handle it?"

Paul smirked, "Try me."

She pulled a chair and sat beside him. He turned to face her, preparing himself,

"Last summer, a demon, killer clown approached me and asked me for help to murder children. It wanted me to give it a name as a punishment because according to It, I summoned It by believing It so strongly that one night I went out to watch the movie with my cousins."

Paul pretended to be confused, "Are you talking about the movie 'It'?"

Alissa nodded, "It came true. It's here. And it's the reason why..." She pulled a newspaper article and showed him, "...kids are missing. Just like in the movie."

Paul read the headline, "It's the reason why ten children are missing?"

"At first, I thought It killed all ten children, but I researched everything and..." Alissa turned to reach for the pile of newspaper on the other side of the table. Paul's eyes started to glow gold, but he resisted as he convinced himself that he wanted to know what she was planning to do,

"...and six of the kids were missing. But a week ago, the six kids' bodies turned up by the river." Alissa explained as she pointed at the photos and the article on the newspaper, focusing her eyes on it,

But Paul only stared at her as she spoke without her knowing,

"Those six kids had stabbed wounds. And I know who killed them." She pulled out her phone and showed Paul a photo of a convict. It was Jack Owen, the guy who attempted to rape Alissa. She explained to Paul how it was him, with two other kids, who followed her and tried to harm her. "Now, the four other kids who were labeled missing are actually missing."

"Where are they?" Paul asked sternly,

"Pennywise. Pennywise ate them." Alissa glanced at Paul. They both pause. "Pennywise is real. And the reason why I'm alive after Jack tried to rape and hurt me was because..." she looked away and instead stared at the open book in front of her. She stared at the sketch on the book of a clown, "Pennywise helped me."

Paul laughed making Alissa snap her head to glare at him,

"A clown helped you?"

She glared even more, "It did. And It killed them." She leaned closer to Paul as she shouted at him, making him shut up. She didn't care if anyone could hear them in the library. She stared directly into his eyes, "It ate Jack's flesh after It stabbed him with It's own claws."

Paul lightly smirked at the angry human. She wasn't afraid. Her scent traveled into his body and he could smell her strongly,

"It helped me because It wanted to play with Its food. Apparently It..."

"...wants to eat children when they fear him."

Alissa tore her gaze away from him, "How do you know that?"

"I watched the movie." Paul lied,

"If you're not interested or if you don't believe any of this at all, then don't even bother to talk to me ever again." Alissa suddenly said as she started closing the books and piling the newspapers,

Paul grabbed her wrist, making her glance at him,

He looked up at her, "Sit down." He started, "Tell me everything."

She stared directly into his eyes, trying to find out if he was telling the truth. He didn't smirk at her. There was no humor in his face, so she sat back down and explained to him everything he needed to know.

Alissa went on and on about what she found out about him.

"So you summoned him?"

Alissa shook her head, "That's what I thought. But it says here that the demon clown is only awaken when a real tragic event takes place. In this case, someone started dressing up as It to kill children when the movie started screening. It just so happened that I was the last piece, I guess? I don't know. That's what It said. It said I summoned It, that's why It chose to follow me."

Even Pennywise only found out that it could be true. It realized that maybe she was the last piece, and not the primary reason why It awoken from hibernation. It had to be the reason why, because It felt her energy. It was summoned knowing her existence. It must be.

"So," Paul broke the silence, remembering that he was playing a role, "You mean to tell me that 'It' rose from the dead and followed you around and ordered you around as a punishment? Instead of killing you?"

"That's what I don't understand, either."

"Why?"

"It said it could harm me, but it only harmed me, like, two times."

Pennywise knew that. He wanted her fresh to eat by the end of the summer. It wanted to tell her, but It knew she would be smart enough now to tell who Paul really was.

Paul only nodded,

"So there it is. That's what I'm anxious about."

They both paused,

"Why did you tell me about this all of a sudden?"

Alissa kept quiet, "I don't know. I felt the need to tell someone I trust. I can trust you, can't I?"

Paul smirked, "Sure." He looked away then stood up, "Well then! I guess we're done here. I'll help you put these back before anyone finds it. You wouldn't want them to find out, do ya?" he started carrying the heaviest books,

"Also, I was thinking..."

Paul turned around to look at Alissa,

"...I want to find him."

He chuckled and she glanced at him, "I want to find Pennywise, Paul."
