April 2016; Flagstaff Arizona

The summer rains had hit Flagstaff hard this year, but that did not deter thirteen year old Patrick Levins from going out with his friends. Water splashed up onto his legs as his skate board drove through a large puddle as he turned the corner from Sixth to Izabel Street. The skatepark wasn't the greatest, but it was the only one within a reasonable distance to his house. The group of three teenagers rolled up next to the gate, picking up their boards as Patrick unhooked the latch on the gate and pushed it open, the wet iron waking a dull creaking sound.

"Hey Pat, do you really think we should be here? I mean….it's already getting pretty late and that curfew…." Jose Masters asked, looking around at the quiet neighborhood, the heavy gray clouds making it seem like the sun was setting early.

"Oh PLEASE!" The exasperated voice of Lillian popped up. "That's mostly for little kids! Besides it's only five, we got two hours before the curfew anyway! Don't be such a sissy!"

Jose sighed and rolled his eyes as shook his head as he followed Patrick into the park.

"She's right, Jose. We got a few hours, and it's not like we're here alone or anything! We'll be fine!" Patrick spoke up, plopping his backpack down onto the picnic bench set under an overhang. "We'll just hang out and skate for an hour or two and then we'll head on home! "

"All right all right!" Jose said, throwing his own bag down next to Patricks. "It's just that my mom will have a fit if we stay out too long."

"You'r Mom needs to learn that you are more than capable of taking care of yourself!" Lillian said before hopping onto her board and rolling down into the bowl. The boys laughed and went to follow her.

The three of them spent the next hour skating in the rain, constantly trying to outdo each other with their tricks. As Six-thirty started to come around, Patrick looked up to see a black and white police car pull up next to the gate. He sighed and kicked his board up into his hand as a woman in blue uniform got out of the car and made her way towards the gate.

"Hey there!" The officer called out to them. "You three know what time it is right? Curfew is in about half an hour, you should be heading on home now!"

"We know!" Patrick called back as Lillian and Jose came up beside him. "We were just about to head home!"

"All right then. Stick together you three, we don't need any more disappearances." The cop tilted her cap before returning to her car and slowly driving away to continue her neighborhood patrol.

Patrick turned to the other two and shrugged. Letting his board fall back onto the pavement as he grabbed his bag.

"Guess we should be heading on home then…" He sighed as Jose nodded anxiously. He had been acting antsy for a while now.

Jose hadn't wanted to say anything but he had been feeling uneasy for the last hour, constantly looking around him to check to see if someone was watching them. He hadn't seen anything, only a feeling.

Lillian scoffed at the two boys and shook her head, her hair looking nearly black because of the rain.

"Honestly you two are so fucking soft." She said as she turned to return to the bowl.

"Lilly, you'll get in trouble if you're caught outside after curfew…" Jose said, making sure his bag was securely on his back. "Be sides...we were told to stay together…."

"Well I don't care." the young girl said as she prepared to continue skating. "What kind of trouble, anyway? You really think my Dad gives two shits if I'm home late? He doesn't even notice when I AM home, let alone when I'm not. Besides, why the fuck should I have to listen to some uniformed bitch? Does she think I can't take care of myself. You two go. I'm staying." And she leaned forward on her board, rolling down into the bowl. Patrick and Jose looked at each other before shaking their heads and turning to leave the park, passing through the gate and making their way back down the street.

"All right, Lilly! We'll see you at school!" Patrick called out as he turned the corner and began to make his way down sixth street.

Lilly popped up onto the rim and waved at the two of them as they left, before turning and continuing to practice how to blunt a Fakie. However as she was getting ready to Ollie and go back down the ramp, her wheels lost traction on the wet pavement, causing the board to slip out from under her, sending her tumbling down into the bowl.

As she finally stopped sliding, her board rolled down the ramp, slamming into her skinned up shin, causing her to call out in a brief moment of sharp pain.

"Owww…." She moaned, sitting up and looking at the blood on her hands, arms, and legs. She sat there shaking for a moment before reaching into her pocket to pull out her phone when a sudden, cracked, squeaky voice came to her ears.

"My my, that was a nasty fall you took there Lills!" Lilly turned her head up, and at the top of the wrap was sitting….a Clown?

Large blue eyes were staring at her, buck-teeth grinning at her past bright red lips that were painted into a smile that when all the way past his eyes, nearly to the crop of bright red hair. His silver, ruffled suit with red buttons shining slightly in the rain and lamplight. In his hand was a cluster of red balloons.

The clown smiled down at Lillian, tilting his heav ever so slightly.

"Yes, a Nasty fall indeed. Would you like some help?"

Lilly stared at him, severely off put due to the painted on smile and, ewww, was that drool? Gross! She shook her head and tried to get to her feet, despite how badly her legs were hurting.

"Er….no...I'm fine, I'll call for my brother to come pick me up…." She said, keeping her eye on the clown.

"Your brother?" The clown asked, "And he's not with you now? You know kids have been disappearing right?"

"Yea….I was here with some friends but they had to leave…." She said, leaning against the ramp wall as she bent to pick up her skateboard.

"Well…." The clown stated swallowing and quickly licking his lips, trying to get rid of that drool she suspected, "While you wait for your brother I'll stay here. It's not safe for you to be alone…." And with that he stood up and slid down the bowl, landing on his tippy toes like a dancer, small bells hidden on his suit jingling at the movement.

"Er...okay, thanks, I guess…:Lilly stated, instinctively leaning away from the strange man, who she now noticed was shockingly tall, with long skinny legs and arms.

He smiled at her before making a small gasp, and slapping his forehead in an overly-dramatic way.

"Tsk tsk tsk, where are my manners! No wonder you're so cautious, I never introduced myself!" He said before making a small bow, his arms firmly at his side. "My name is Pennywise, the Dancing Clown!" He said, shaking slightly, making the bells jingle again as he said the word 'Dancing'. Lilly couldn't help but give a wry smile at the clown. The guy certainly seemed to enjoy his job, which was a little creepy but so far, harmless.

Pennywise took a step towards Lilly and pulled one of the balloons away from the rest of the bundle and held it out towards the girl.

"Would you like a balloon?" He asked and Lilly laughed before shrugging and reaching out to take the balloon. As her hand reached out, she didn't notice as blue eyes turned to a bright yellow, following her movements. Lilly took the balloon and pulled it back towards herself. As she looked back at the clown she was taken aback by his eyes, still blue to her, but one of them seems to have drifted off to look in a different direction. She swallowed and took another step away before Pennywise cleared his throat.

"You should be careful, Lilly, being in this park. There are a bunch of snakes around this area…"

She stopped, her eyes going wide as her bloody hand clenched the string of the balloon.

"S….snakes?" She said, her voice trembling slightly. She hated, HATED snakes so much. Even those small water snakes that couldn't hurt you! They were just so Creepy!

"Yes, yes snakes….." Pennywise said slowly, his creeking voice taking on a sound that bordered on a growl. "Like that one." He said, one eye looking at her hand.

Lilly suddenly felt the balloon go heavy, the string turning thick and cold, and starting to move. She turned her eyes towards it to see a bright green snake in her hand, yellow eyes staring angrily at her as it opened its mouth to hiss, two long fangs glistening.

Letting out a loud screech, she practically threw the snake onto the ground, turning and backing away from the wall of the ramp, her back running right into a hard, silver-silk covered chest. She heard a deep, animalistic growl come from behind and above her. Shaking she looked directly above her head, to see those yellow eyes, and rows of sharp teeth peeking out from behind a red smile.

Less than ten minutes later, the police had tapped off the skate park, and were searching the area for any indication for were Lillian Mars may have gone after the reports of screaming had come in from the nearby apartment building. After several hours of searching the park, they recovered her board, her bag, and one leg, found near a drainage tunnel.
