Alissa leaned against the table and drank her coffee. While she sipped from her mug, Pennywise spoke out of nowhere, "Did you rest well?" there was a malicious thought behind its tone of voice,
She quickly pulled her mug away and spilled hot coffee on her new shirt, "Jesus-" she swiped her hand away from the mug after placing it down on the table, "-Christ!" She glared at Pennywise who's laughing at her,
"Can you learn to knock or something?" Alissa looked down on her coffee-smelling shirt,
"What a mess you are, Alissa." Pennywise teased, "Dirty girl."
She instantly looked up at It and frowned. She turned around and tried wiping tissue on her shirt and knew it was useless. She threw the tissue on the table, "Why do you keep coming back here?"
She knew it was a stupid question. But the mere fact that she denied to give herself to It was enough to give It the impression that she was standing her ground. She wasn't going to change her mind, she told It.
But Pennywise smirked at her, "Take a guess,"
"How many times do I have to tell you: I'm not giving you my virginity!"
"-I'm not giving ye' my virginity!" Pennywise mocked her as It rolled Its eyes, "No no's allowed, Alissa."
"Well deal with it."
The clown took a step closer, almost inches away from Alissa. It leaned its head down to look directly into Alissa's eyes. The demon clown has found its favorite toy in the circus of despair. It calls her Amusing Alissa. It was true, she amused it all too much that the ancient evil developed an obsession.
"I love your smell!" Pennywise chuckled almost like a child, "You smell like the circus sometimes."
Alissa rolled her eyes, "I think you're smelling yourself." She tried to give a comeback, since it was probably the only harm she could do to the evil clown. At this point, she's given up pushing it away. She knew she was obsessed with its existence. She knew that deep inside, she really wanted it. And mostly, she loved that It gave her all the attention she never had.
"Circus, Alissa!" Pennywise twirled in its heels and faced her again, "You smell like the good ol' circus: mixed emotions, a little bit of abstract fear, and fresh, fresh, blood." It licked the strand of drool the dripped down it's chin with its long tongue. Alissa saw this and quickly tore her eyes away, "That's what I really like about you."
Without blinking, Alissa shook her head and walked around Pennywise to enter her room again. But before she could leave It completely, Pennywise turned around, "And how about you, Alissa?" Pennywise exaggerated on the word 'and',
She stopped walking and turned around, "What? What about me now?" She asked in her usual annoyed tone,
"What do you like about me?" Pennywise teased in a question, pouting its lip, its hands clasped in front of it as it glided closer to her,
Alissa looked at Pennywise as if it was crazy, crazier than it already was. She shook her head and turned around and entered her room. The second she stepped in, Pennywise appeared leaning against her desk. She felt her heart skip a beat but she managed to keep it in and ignored it,
"See, Alissa, you can't be like this if we're gonna be together!"
Alissa kept ignoring the clown and took her shirt off in front of It. Then, she took a sweater and put it on. Pennywise laughed a throaty laugh as Alissa walked off, grabbed her mug, glared at It and slammed the door of her bedroom door.
Alissa opened the door slowly, peeked her head to see if there was any sign that Pennywise would appear. She paused, waiting for the demon clown to startle her but it did nothing. She finally stepped out of her bedroom and headed to the kitchen to wash the mug.
She washed the dishes as well. Afterwards, she glanced out the window and noticed a red balloon in her peripheral point of view. She slowly to look in her living room and saw the balloon floating midair.
She crossed her arms, and slowly approached the balloon. She looked around before holding the balloon. She paused, "What the hell is this?"
Nobody answered her. What was it trying to do now?
In silence, Alissa secretly looked at the balloon and started to remember the first time she saw it. The first time she encountered It. It made her smile. This was exactly what the clown wanted. It wanted her to feel things.
She felt It's presence behind her.
She closed her eyes and sighed,
The demon clown reminded her its purpose in staying, "I want you, Alissa."
She was pissed that It brought it up again. Alissa opened her eyes, turned around and glared at the clown who's standing right behind her, Its hands clenched on Its side, towering over her, "I know. You told me countless times."
"I must remind you, Alissa, you can't hop around and forget your calling." Pennywise leaned its head closer, "This isn't just like the list. This time," Pennywise extended Its finger and laid it on Alissa's chest where her heart was, "It's in you."
She pushed Pennywise's finger away,
"Don't pretend you don't like it, Alissa, dear." Pennywise chuckled lowly, placed its palm against its mouth and gestured a flying kiss, "And don't ya forget the lovely smooch you gave me," It had a smug look on It's face,
Pennywise was obsessed with its food. It's original plan to devour her after it takes its power sometime soon had been disregarded. The evil clown had developed a deep obsession over the low creature. Teasing her for a long time was a better idea, after all It knew gaining eternal power would mean It would never have to rest again.
"Tell me, Alissa, why did you say you wanted me?" Pennywise teased,
"What?" She rolled her eyes, "I'm not answering that stupid question."
"Is it because I make you..." It grinned instantly, showing its sharp numerous teeth, "...smile?"
Alissa looked at its teeth then at its eyes, "If anything, you annoy the hell out of me." As she was going to turn around, Pennywise grabbed her arm again, making her quickly look at her arm then at its eyes,
"Is it because..." It gently pulled her closer as it leaned down, close enough for Alissa to smell it again, "you admire me?"
She sneered and It wiggled its finger close to her face without looking away nor blinking, "Tut-tut-tut," Pennywise looked at her in blank eyes, "Liars go to hell."
Alissa's smirk disappeared from her face,
It pouted and teased her, "Liar, liar, pants on fire!"
Alissa leaned her face closer, she glared into its eyes, "That's what you want to hear? Fine." She snatched her arm back and pulled it away from Pennywise's, but It did not do anything. It only kept its eyes staring back into hers.
"I admire you." She mocked It, "I admire everything about you because you're so wonderful." She lied, but for some reason, it felt relieving when she said it aloud.
Pennywise tried to reach for her but she moved away, "Don't touch me!" She shouted, and this finally angered Pennywise. The demon clown grasped her whole face with both hands, startling Alissa. But she did not even back down. She might have flinched but she did not look away into It's red eyes,
The demon clown looked at her with a smug look on Its face, "I will touch you when I want to, Brat."
"Well go ahead!" She taunted the clown, sure that It won't hurt her. But the demon clown finally reached its limit, impatient and angry, it pushed Alissa against the wall by only gripping her neck. She wasn't scared, instead she was angry.
Angry that the clown might hurt her. She wasn't scared. She was angry. "You're a lucky girl, Alissa. You should be honored." Pennywise said in so much anger in its voice while it still grasped Alissa's neck, just tight enough to keep her in place,
She panted, still staring into its eyes, she grasped Its wrist, "Honored?" She sneered,
Pennywise swiftly moved Its head closer to her face and smirked, "A low creature like yourself must be honored to carry such a high purpose." It said in a child-like tone of voice,
Alissa struggled but she leaned her head closer, "Low creature my ass. You said it yourself. You wouldn't be here if you didn't need my body."
Pennywise tightened its grip. She wasn't swayed. She lowly laughed at It. The demon clown released her but she kept her back against the wall, catching her breath. Pennywise stared at her.
"And yet you can't get it." Alissa sneered,
"Liars. Go. To. Hell. Alissa." Pennywise growled and stepped closer with every word. It leaned its head closer to her face again. The demon clown thought that she was lucky that it was obsessed in hurting and playing with her, the only reason why she was still here. "You want it, as well."
"Oh do I," she sneered again,
Pennywise paused and smirked, "Last night, you definitely did."
Alissa suddenly froze. Fucking hell. It was there.
