Finally, he reached the stall he was after, turning back to the others and bowing.

"I will have a new friend for you soon! Just sit tight for now my little ones!" He waved happily, before standing into the booth and looking around.

He stood in a street, the only house that had a light on was the one in front of him. He smiled wide and skipped over, gazing into the window. A child around the age of 10 was sitting on his computer, playing video games with his headphones on. He was oblivious to the clown.

Then again everyone was.

The clown giggled to himself, before appearing behind the boy. The child was playing a game LJ had only seen once or twice before, since not many young kids played it. He didn't remember the name or care for it, but he took an interest in the child's username. 'Kaden.Is.Awesome10101.'***

"Kaden hey? Is that your name kiddo?"

The child didn't hear him, still immersed in his game. LJ frowned, before shrugging.

"Oh well, introductions bore me anyway." And with that, his claws went straight through the child's back, poking out through his chest. The kid froze, spluttered slightly. The clown saw his reflection in the computer, watching the blood drip from his mouth, tears in his eyes as he stared at the claws protruding from his body.

Jack pulled his hand back, and the child fell from his chair, the headphones being ripped off as he fell to the ground. Blood quickly surrounded his twitching form, and he let out a loud sob. Jack giggled in glee and gave a small dance.

"Oh poor Kaden~!" He jumped over him, leaning towards the boy's face, "I like playing games too you know! Why don't we see who can be quiet for the longest!"

The child stared up at him in horror, still spluttering blood onto the floor.

"Tsk tsk Kaden, be quiet now!" He giggled, before lifting his head in his now bloody claws, "Then again, you will be soon enough!"

When the clown returned home, he noticed another one of his empty toys was now wailing and dripping with the dark coloured ooze. He smirked a wide smirk, carrying a black bag over his shoulder and walking over to the toy.

"Welcome home Kaden!" He giggled, before skipping back down the isle of stalls.

Finding the end of the many booths, he looked around his carnival proudly. The old, rusted rides stood tall and broken, riding them would ensure death. The perfect way to kill anyone that got in his way. As he skipped past one of the rides, he stopped and smiled.

There was a large chalkboard, with many shiny badges pinned to it. Boy had he gained a collection over the years. Police officers had no idea when to quit. Quiet frankly, no one knew when to quit. But their screams are always so satisfying.

"They were the screams of riders torn apart by the twisted reflections of their own inner selves~!" He giggled loudly, before walking away from the rides and the stalls, heading to the entrance of the carnival.

"Time to surprise the little Lollipop with a gift!" He giggled menacingly, before suddenly appearing in front of the human. She lay curled up, sleeping soundly on the couch.

"Sweet dreams..~" His giggle turned to a chuckle, and he placed the bag down, before pulling out his newest victim's corpse and laying it next to her, "I can't want to see your reaction!"

A while passed before she finally started to stir, rubbing her eyes and sitting up with a stretch. She froze when she realised she was being watched, and quickly looked around the room and sighing.

-How cute, she still tries to find me- LJ giggled, -Now come on, notice my gift already-

The human sighed and ran her fingers through her hair, looking down at the boy's body. It took a while for it to process, before she let out a scream and fell over the back of the couch.

The clown laughed and jumped over, "Surprise!"

She screamed again and kicked at him, but the clown was able to dodge.

"Hey! That's not nice!" he gave a pout, before giggling, "So, did you like my little present Lollipop?"

She was panting, gripping at her chest, "Wh-What?! Of course not!! What the hell is wrong with you?!"

Suddenly the front door burst open and a police officer ran into the room. He quickly looked around the area, his gaze passing over the clown, before landing on the girl and running over.

"What happened? What was that yelling?"

She looked up at him, visibly shaking, "H-He killed another... H-He put the body..."

She stopped talking and hugged herself.

"Where did he put it?"

She lowered her head and pointed into the living room. The officer was quick to look in, before frowning once seeing the body.

"How did he get in without me seeing?"

"I-I don't know..." She mumbled, "I was asleep..."

"Right, well I'll look over the footage then. And I'll take the body." He stood straight and picked it up, walking to the front door, "I'll be back later to check on you."

And he wasn't lying. Laughing Jack found it rather annoying when he couldn't mess with the girl because this stupid police officer was around. Although it was fun to appear behind the officer and watch the little Lollipop go pale, knowing that the officer couldn't see him but she could.

She was a quick learner.

After a bit of questioning, and reassurance, the officer finally left. Jack was overjoyed, he could finally go back to tormenting the female.

Or even better.

"I think it's finally time I get rid of the little Lollipop...~" Laughing Jack giggled to himself, following the girl upstairs.


***This is not a real username, and if it is I am terribly sorry XD that is just a major coincidence.
