You limp slightly, hissing and wincing as you walked, having been stuck here for roughly an hour now. Walking through an abandoned carnival and it’s late at night. All the rides are broken down. It looks deserted and demented.

You had been ‘dared’ by your so called friends (more like forcefully shoved) to go to the center building and take a toy. When you came back they then had locked you in after they kicked you multiple times on the floor, then by closing the gate and locking the padlock trapping you here for god knows how long.

A key.

That’s what you need. However with each step taken you stifle a hiss in pain. It hurt to walk, breathing hurt, both betrayal and hopelessness for your situation is all that can be felt in this suffocatingly eerie carnival.

Your steps rang through the desolate fair grounds, you walked alone feeling cold and lonely. Little did you know, you were not as alone as you believed…

??? Pov

I peer down at the tiny human from the shadows, stifling a giggle.

They look absolutely darling~ all bruised and battered like that!

I ponder to myself, my face contorting to a smile that was neither deranged nor comforting.

Maybe I should go introduce myself! I have been oh so bored lately anyways~.

I chuckle, as I fade back into the shadows to silently follow them.

CLANG

Oops~

Knocked over a silly old hot dog stand with my foot, silly me. Hehe!

My grin widens when they jolt with fright, finding it oh so entertaining to watch the poor chap whirl around to look at what fell.

That little lost soul’s eyes were flicking every which way.

Trying desperately to find a culprit that even the devil himself can’t stand. They looked for understanding, wanting to know the source of the clatter.

Guess I should go say hello. Don’t want to keep the poor dear waiting.~

With a bone chilling chuckle I stepped from the shadows, my eyes narrow in glee watching that sad little individual shiver and tremble.

“My my~ Someone’s bones are trembling, could they be made of jelly? If only I knew…”

I paused, as my alabaster finger with purple nail polish gently tapped the red face paint on my lips. I even tilted my head just so, for effect. Then I jutted my bottom lip out just enough to resemble a pout, like I was deeply troubled by the situation.

“That a cute dollop like you would be wandering my fair grounds I would have brought my spoon!”

I break into a grin, giggling so hard that I had to clutch my stomach while doubling over. If I had a heart, I might have found it within myself to comfort the sweet little thing.

But no. Never that, compassion is for the silly folk. The sweet, stupid, silly folk whose souls just make for those excellent yummy gummy's!

“Now now deary~ calm down, I don’t plan on eating you, well, not yet at least! Hehehe!”

A cackle ripped from my throat at the statement. Hilarious. They think I’m joking. I never joke when it comes to a late night snack on a moonless night such as this one.

No, never, never joking when food was the hot topic.

I’m so going to enjoy playing with my food tonight~

“Now deary? I do believe it is proper to offer an entertainer such as I a name? Your name to be specific. Come on now, don’t be shy! I won’t bite, much….hehehe~”
