Chapter: Rage within Her

…..

…..

…..

There was a frown set on Scarlett's lips and her arms crossed over her chest. There was a firm glare set on her face, glaring across the room at the wall. Her violin laid across the middle of the bed, careful not to be near the edge of the bed.

Scarlett was not happy, and was slightly annoyed and angry. The reason was because of a familiar abnormal entity, who mostly goes by the name of Pennywise. But at the moment, Pennywise transformed into Robert Gray, and sat in the chair at her desk. A hand would wave in front of her, but Scarlett would pay no mind.

"You can't be this mad at me, birdie."

"You said you would try not to go after Ben and his friends. Try! You didn't even try!" Scarlett snapped her attention onto Robert with the glare hard and strong.

"It was too good of an opportunity to pass."

"You had gone after Eddie. The poor kid has enough problems to deal with, you didn't have to add more."

"He is fine. I didn't chase him." Robert waved his hand and afterwards he shrugged his shoulders.

Scarlett let out a groan and she dropped her hands onto her lap. She brought a hand up, running a hand through her dark crimson color hair. Her green eyes flicker off the wall to stare at Robert, still showing a frown set on her lips.

"That is not the point. The point was to try not to go after my little brother's friends, but it appears you forgot the try part."

"Explain try to me, Scarlett?" Robert held his arms out and gave her raised eyebrows.

"Try not to go after them, but rather try to dodge them. Try to keep out of view, not show your face and make them even more suspicious that there is something unnatural in the town. Seriously, if you think about it, I am not only protecting them, I am protecting you too." Scarlett pointed at him.

There was a small twitch of Robert's lips, and he stood up from the chair. Slowly, he walked around the bed and then placed a hand on the bed to lean over her and be face to face with her.

"You honestly think a bunch of children could bring me down?"

"Ever heard of karma?"

A low growl emitted from Robert and he pushed away from her. He began to pace back and forth in front of the bed while mumbling underneath his breath. Scarlett eyes followed him, eyes moving back and forth as Robert was pacing.

"Do you think so?" Robert asked as he came to a sudden halt.

Scarlett tilted her head a little, wondering if the entity was seeing her point of review or simply wondering her opinion.

"I think you are becoming too confident, and it will be your downfall."

There was another growl from Robert, and this time it was lower. Scarlett felt the little one move around a lot inside of her, sensing the change in the air. She watched as Robert's skin shifted, but the entity stayed in Robert Gray form. Although Robert Gray now had glowing yellowish green eyes and not the grayish blue color.

Something told Scarlett the entity did not want to hear what she stated.

"You wanted the truth and I gave it."

Within a blink of the eye, Robert was before her with a hand against the side of her cheek. She stared straight into the yellowish green eyes, and feeling the hand against her cheek began to stroke her skin.

"Are you really concern for those losers and me?"

"Yes, and I can't raise this baby alone." Scarlett whispered.

She knew Robert knew she would try her best to prevent him from going after her little brother and his friends, but at the same time, she did not want anything to happen to the entity. They were mates, and she did care. She also did not want to raise a baby alone, especially a baby which was half of the entity and half-human.

The yellowish green eyes faded away, and they were back to Robert's grayish blue eyes. He let out a sigh and dropped his forehead against her own, still staring her straight in the eyes.

"I will try." Robert mumbled, dropping his hand from her face to rest against her belly and feeling the little moving around.

Few Days Later

…..

Scarlett let out a groan as she struggle to stand up from the couch, but managed to do so. A hand rested against her lower back, and she rubbed the area.

"Argh, you are making me ache, little one." Scarlett other hand rested against her stomach and she rubbed her belly while her other hand stayed on her lower back.

There was a basket with folded up newborn clothes. She reached out wth both hands to pick up the basket, and carry it to the bedroom where the baby will be staying. There was a crib set up in one corner with a changing table beside it. Scarlett had to move her bookshelf out of the bedroom and put it into the hallway to have more room.

A draw was cleared from her dresser, and she began to put the folded baby clothes into the empty drawer. Her right hand would brush against her belly, feeling how the little one was constantly moving.

"Why do I feel like you are going to come earlier than we all expect?" Scarlett mumbled, and smiled a little as the little one gave a hard kick.

"Agreeing with me? Great, I should prepare myself then." Scarlett let out a small dry snort and made her way out of the bedroom to find some food to snack on.

As Scarlett walked into the living room, the door was slammed open causing her to jump and stared with a bit of wide eyes as Ben came in but paused at the sight of her.

"Sorry…" He said lowly, seeing he startled her.

"It is al—oh my god what happened!"

Scarlett rushed over to Ben and grabbed him by the shoulders, staring down at the slash marks across his stomach. Immediately, he backed up and shook his head, mumbling 'nothing' over and over again.

"This isn't nothing, Benjamin. Come on." Scarlett led him off down the hallway and to the bathroom.

Scarlett pulled out the first aid kit and made Ben sit on the toilet. She stared at the marks across his stomach and swallowed hard. Concern for her brother and anger for she knew who done this.

"How did you get this, Ben?" Scarlett started and began to wash away the blood from the area.

A few apologies from her upon seeing her little brother wince when she cleaned the area and began to apply hydrogen peroxide to the area. Her eyes flickered up, waiting for him to come up with some sort of story where she knew he would lie.

"Got in a fight with Bowers again."

Scarlett stared at him for a few more moments and made a low hum sound, turning her attention back on the slash marks across his stomach. She felt Ben bow his head and a frown on his lips. He knew she knew he was lying, but did not question it further.

Scarlett patched Ben up and began to clean the bathroom. She lifted her head up to see him leave the bathroom and head toward his bedroom.

"You should rest." Scarlett poked her head out of the bathroom to stare after him.

"I will. I'll probably go to the library later on."

"Library? What about your friends?" Scarlett questioned, praying in her head they were okay.

"Umm, well, Richie and Bill go into a fight and um, no one is really talking with each other at the moment after everyone took sides."

"Oh, I see…well hopefully it blows over. Your friends are pretty cool."

A small grin came onto Ben's lips.

"Yeah, they are." Ben nodded before he entered his bedroom, shutting the door behind him.

The smile on Scarlett's lips dropped and a frown took over. Her eyes flashed a glowing blue before they returned to normal. Rage began to flow through her body and she found herself cleaning up the rest of the mess before she left the house to go find a certain entity.

…..

…..

…..

Water dripped from the pipes and echoed throughout the sewage tunnels.

The sensation to move in certain directions and tunnels soon allowed Scarlett to enter the room Pennywise stayed in. Her eyes scanned over the tower of junk and then settle on the train cart where she could sense her mate. Although something felt off and the energy from Pennywise was not as strong as ever.

A flicker of concern came over but it vanished underneath the rage burning within her.

"You are mad, I can sense it."

The train cart door open and Pennywise sat crosslegged within the cart.

For once Scarlett saw an actual tire look upon the entity's face. It made her to pause in her steps toward the train cart, but she quickly collected herself to continue to walk forward until she pulled herself up into the train cart.

"I know why you are here."

"Damn right. What the fuck?" Scarlett snapped with a harsh glare.

"Bir—"

"You told me you would not harm Ben, and what do you do, you hurt Ben!" Scarlett shouted.

Her nails began to extend and she could feel a hot sensation flow through her body. Her teeth clenched, but her canines extended and poked at the bottom of her lips. The little one kicked and moved around in her belly, sensing the rage from its mother.

Pennywise stood up and took a long step toward her to stand before her. Scarlett could see there was small spider web cracks along the forehead. Her eyes narrowed a bit and saw an indent.

"Your brother and his friends seek me out. They came into the Neibolt Street house. They entered my domain, and continue to seek me out. What do you want me to do, little birdie, ignore them?"

"Yes, that is exactly what I want you to do." Scarlett threw her hands up in the air.

"Well, how about your tell your little brother who can relay to his friends to stop searching around areas of my domain." Pennywise growled, eyes becoming redder than usual.

Scarlett let out a huff and turned her head away from Pennywise, knowing this argument will have a no win situation. She knew they would go back and forth and not solve anything. Pennywise had been around for centuries, and it would be hard to change the entity's ways. Her eyes shut as she thought about the dangers her brother and his friends are getting into.

A hand brushed against the side of her face and slowly she opened her eyes, lifted her head and stared up into Pennywise's yellowish orange color eyes.

"Please…"

"I told you I would try whenever they come into the picture. I will continue to do so. But I will defend myself if I need to." Pennywise told her with a serious tone.

"Do not make me be the one who will have to step up."

This did not make Pennywise happy. A huffed came out of the cherry red lips and a glare was set on Pennywise's face.

"I will protect my family." Scarlett began.

"What about this?" Pennywise waved a hand between them and stared down at her round pregnant belly carrying their little one.

"Ben is my family. So are you and this little. I will stop you both if I have to." Scarlett clarified what she meant earlier.

If she had to, she would find a way to stop Ben and his friends but at the same time stop Pennywise too. She would become the liaison or the peacemaker between the two, but would need to try to hide the fact she was the evil entity's mate.

A small snarl came from Pennywise, but then it slid off. Pennywise moved away from her and dropped on a worn down armchair and pouted. She rolled her eyes and walked over to Pennywise, coming to stand in front of it.

"As long as the little one does not get hurt or you." Pennywise said lowly, eyes flickering to her round belly and then upwards to meet her eyes.

Scarlett eyebrows raised a little, seeing the concern side of the entity for her. It made her to let out a sigh and moved closer to Pennywise, sitting herself down on the arm of the chair. Although she was soon in Pennywise's lap and long arms were wrapped around her, hands were rubbing her round beach ball pregnant belly. The little one gave a few small kicks against Pennywise's hands before settling down.

"I do not like being mad." Scarlett admitted.

"I know." Pennywise said lowly, leaning back in the armchair.

Scarlett turned her head and stared at the entity with a calm expression. She reached out and touched Pennywise's forehead and gold yellowish orange eyes snapped open. No words came from Pennywise while she ran her fingers down the side of its face.

"You were stabbed through the head."

"Indeed, and it was not a pleasant feeling. I am recovering from it." Pennywise muttered, and Pennywise eyes got a dark red tinge to them at the thought of the past injury and how it happened.

Scarlett studied the area where the injury was inflicted and felt this weird sensation come over her. Her eyes fluttered and she felt this hot feeling move through her until it slithered down to the end of her fingertips against Pennywise's face.

The tips of her fingers glowed a whitish gold causing Pennywise to go wide eyes, but groan and eyes snapped shut. The moment it happened, it was soon over and Scarlett let out a shaky exhale. Her body was slightly shaking and her eyes were wide. When she lifted her eyes up, her eyes came into contact with Pennywise's eyes.

"What did I do?"

"You healed me."

"But how?"

"Mates, or did you forget." Pennywise pointed out.

Scarlett looked at her hands and watched the glowing from her fingertips disappear. She turned her attention back onto Pennywise and curiosity overcame her.

"Can I heal others or is it just a mate thing?"

"If you heal others, I think it would cause a panic." Pennywise said dryly.

"True." Scarlett muttered and lowered her hands onto the top of her belly.

Hands appeared on top of her hands upon her pregnant belly causing her to lift her eyes up to meet Pennywise's eyes.

"We heal each other." Pennywise purred.

She said nothing, only looked back down at their joined hands on top of her pregnant belly and feeling the little one bounce around inside and becoming more and more active with each passing day.
