Deadly sweet

Chapter 1

It was dark. The only thing that lit the room were the sun rays coming from the window. A girl was sat in the middle of the room on the cold wooden floor. The sun rays fell on her illuminating her kind characteristics. Her blue eyes looking down at her brand new pair of dancing shoes. Her long brown hair up in a beautiful and neat bun. Not a single piece of hair was out. Her small plump lips parted slightly. Her pale long fingers were taking care of the pointe shoes carefully as if she could break them.  Soft classical music could be heard from an old speaker.   The girl paused and just stared down at her lap . She had finally finished preparing her shoes. Without waiting any longer she put the pointe shoes on slowly , wrapping the soft white ribbons around her delicate ankles. She got up looking at the white shoes and headed to the speaker. She put her favorite Song Dynasty by MIIA and turned the volume up. The music filled her ears and as if her body had a mind of its own she started moving across the shiny floor. Her movements not losing a beat, her body free. No sound was made by the wood connecting with the floor. Her movements full of feelings and without stopping, they were flowing. Sliding across the floor, turning, pirouettes, and to finish it off a flawless grand jeté. She landed on her shoes perfectly and she paused , her head turned towards the window. By now the music had stopped and the sun was down. The music was replaced with the sound of drops falling. The girl let her body relax , eyes looking at the rain falling. After a while she stretched her muscles and removed her snowy white shoes. Her fit body walked and placed the shoes carefully in their box. She then turned of the speaker, wore her black long cardigan and left the room that was now her studio. She headed upstairs her feet moving without any sound. She entered her bedroom

And without hesitation she went to her bathroom

To have a hot bath. She started filling the tub and searched for her favorite fragments and shampoos in her cabinets. By the time she found them the tub was full. She poured a small amount of rose shampoo in the water and a little bit of a special mix of flowers they made the water pink. She slowly removed her cardigan, leotard, skirt and her pantyhose. She put one leg in checking the temperature and the went inside. She let herself relax and enjoyed the hot bath. The water against her sore muscles felt amazing. After a long day of dancing and practicing that was what she needed. She closed her big blue eyes and let her body heal. She just sat there. She slowly opened her eyes and looked outside watching the magical view. The water by now was cold and the girl pushed herself out of the tub. She grabbed the white fluffy towel from the marble counter. She wrapped it around herself and looked at the mirror. She is a really beautiful girl with unique beauty. She had sparkling blue green eyes full of life with long eyelashes. She had clean full eyebrows that looked perfect with her eyes. She had a small nose and plump rosy lips. Her skin was pale and flawless. Her body lean but also fit. She looked like a living doll. She grabbed the brush and started brushing her long light brown hair. Strands of natural blonde hair made the girl's hair even lighter. After she finished with her hair she opened the door and entered her spacious bedroom. She headed to her wardrobe opened it and searched for a pair of new pajamas. She took it out and began to change. She removed the towel that covered her nice curves and wore her underwear and nightwear. It was a pair of white cotton shorts along with an oversized pastel pink jumper. She also wore her favorite slipper-boots and went downstairs to grab a drink.
When she entered the kitchen she was greeted by her mother. Her mother was around 55 but she stood well. "Oh hi dear I made hot chocolate would you like some?" A smile stretched on the girls face and she nodded in agreement. " so Victoria I wanted to inform you that we are going on a business trip with your father and that you need to take care of your sister for a while" " oh really , ok I will take care of her" her mother smiled warmly at her and passed her a cup of hot chocolate. "And dear she also has a new imaginary friend she spends a lot of time with him and I hope you can get her to do something else like going outside or something "
"Him?" She looked carefully at the older woman and listened "yes his name is laughing Jack the clown. She doesn't really talk about him with me , just try and learn something I'm getting worried she is too old to have an imaginary friend " " don't worry mum I will " The girl named Victoria turned on her heel and went upstairs to her sister's room holding to mugs of hot chocolate. When she was finally out of a soft pink door she could hear laughter. She hesitantly knocked on the door and entered. "Hi rose what are you doing?" She looked down at the little girl that was around 7 and smiled " I was just playing with my new friend, his name is laughing Jack" " oh how nice ! I brought you some hot chocolate" " YES hot chocolate! Wait do you have more? Jack doesn't have any " the little girl looked back at her older sister with big green eyes. Victoria sighed and smiled "it's ok he can have my cup of chocolate " " but tori bunny what are you gonna drink? You need to get warm too!"" It's ok cutie he is our guest and we need to make him feel comfortable. So he can have my hot drink" " ok thank you sis you are the best! I think that now that mom and dad are going to be away you should meet him too. He is the best friend ever"" it would be my pleasure " She kissed her little sister's forehead gave her the mugs , said goodnight to her and went to sleep. She sat on her bed pulled the covers over her and let her mind wander in dreamland.
Next day
Today was a dark day. It was raining early in the morning and that was actually what woke Victoria up. She opened her big eyes and just stared at the window. After about 5 minutes of just relaxing she decided to get up. She pushed the covers away from her body and she placed her small feet on the soft carpet. She went to the bathroom, did her everyday morning routine and then headed downstairs to prepare breakfast for her and her sister. After a while of making pancakes she heard a sound and suddenly she was embraced by a smaller figure then hers. She turned around and looked at the petite girl hugging her waist. " morning kiddo"" you sound just like Lj , he calls me kiddo too and good morning ""oh nice I made pancakes want some"" yes!! I love them" she placed some on the little girl's plate and poured some syrup on top "Victoria....can you put some extra pancakes Lj is here too"" you know something kiddo I'm not putting any pancakes if he doesn't show up. I have the feeling that you just made laughing jack up and it's an excuse to eat more" "but Victoria he is kinda shy-"" it's ok kid I'm here" and that is when a low male's voice was heard. The girl confused looked around and that's when she saw him. An inhumanly tall monochrome clown about 7.4 feet was standing on the kitchen door. He had smooth white face and charcoal black hair that went until his chin. He had piercing grey eyes and a smile with sharp teeth. His body was covered in black and white clothing and he had feathers on his shoulders. The poor girl was shocked. When rose said that she had the cutest friend she thought it would be a bunny or you know something more....colorful, happy. "I-I-I well hello there I didn't see ya sitting there earlier " Victoria was now leaning on the counter to just absorb all this information." Hello there cutie " he started to come closer and closer to the girl and she only stared. That is when her little sis had to made the situation even worse. " omg yes !!! Jack is going to ask tori out and they are going to get married and have clown babies!" Victoria slowly turned her head towards the small child and stared at her with wide eyes. Jack on the other side started giggling. " oh kiddo that is so cute but I just met your sister " the child looked sad at the floor and went back to her pancakes. " ok steadily..... here are your pancakes j-jack" "thank you cutie " and with that he sat on the table too. Poor tori had now a terrible headache and she felt dizzy. The world was spinning around her. " tori bunny are you alright"" hey cutie what happened cat got your tongue?" And that's when you gave in to the beautiful darkness.
