Chapter 11
The next day Hannah took Penelope to the carnival " well guess you're with me all day" Hannah smiled down at Penelope as they walked around Penny giggled and smiled back at her sister giggling " it's going to be fun! are we meeting your friend too?" Hannah nodded tough Robert didnt say where to meet him which was a bit strange but she just shrugged it off. " Clown!" Penelope shouted and pointed Hannah hummed as she turned her head where Penny was pointing too but there was no clown there " where Penny?" " he was right there he was pulling silly faces at me hehe" Hannah just raised an eyebrow and shook her head as she giggled a little kids and there wonderful imaginations she hoped Robert wouldn't mind her bringing Penelope a long Hannah didn't want to let her sister walk around the carnival alone two more kids have gone missing since yesterday Hannah couldn't believe it she didn't know the two kids but she had a feeling she saw them around her neighborhood.
A chill ran up her spine Hannah looked down to see what Penelope wanted to do first her eyes widened and her heart sunk when she didn't see Penny next to her " Penelope?....Penny!!" Hannah shouted whipping her head around she put her hands on her head and started panicking " PENELOPE!" she shouted again running around oh god has the person thats taking children got her? her mother is going to kill her..... tears started to stream down her face Penny was the only person left that she loved why does she always lose the things she loves?. Hannah fell to her knees near a wagon sobbing quietly " Penny..." she mumbled " Hannah are you ok?" " big sis!" Hannah gasped and looked up quickly as she reconcised the two voices Robert was standing in front of her with a worried look on his face in his arms was Penelope she stood up quickly and took Penelope out of Roberts arms " oh my god! Penelope you scared the life out of me I didn't know where you were" Hannah said sobbing in relief as she smiled a little " im sorry Hannah.. b-but I wanted a balloon from the clown so I followed him.. BUT then Robert found me when I got lost! I told him that I lost you... then he found you hehe!" Hannah sighed and opened her eyes to look at Robert and mouthed thank you to him.
Robert just chuckled and nodded. She put Penelope back down " dont you ever run off again ok Penny?" Penelope looked down shyly and nodded her head as she scuffed her shoe for a second she thought she saw Robert tilt his head to the side with a grin on his face at her nickname but when she looked up at him he was just smiling down at her sweetly this man was a little bit weird. Hannah smiled at Robert " thank you for finding Penelope... for a minute I thought she was going to be the next missing child..." Robert chuckled a bit to low then usual " no problem my dear... when she said she was looking for her sister I asked what her sister name was when she said it was you we went looking for you straight away" Hannah grabbed Penelope's hand " thanks again... sorry I had to bring her along today my mother.. wanted a break..." she said looking away a little.
Robert gave Hannah a toothy grin " it's no problem at all my dear Hannah... we can still have fun can't we?" Hannah smiled back with a blush on her cheeks and nodded " of course" Penelope tugged on her sisters hand " oh I wanna choose first!" Hannah giggled " hehe ok come then". This young woman was very interesting he could smell her fear straight away when he lured her little sister away he could've eaten little Penny but where's the fun in that? IT likes to play with ITs food the little brat even had Penny as her nickname what a quendadnce! yes... he wanted to know more about Hannah before killing her maybe he could make her body float make her a special treat for him.
" So Robert what do you do in Derry?" Hannah asked smiling sweetly at him " hmm?" she giggled " I said what do you do here in Derry?" Robert glared at her for a second " oh... well I work here at the carnival well when its here.. i'm a businessman for Derry let's say the one in cHaRGe.." Hannah felt a chill as he said " the one in charge" but she shook it off " oh so like what my father did?" Robert hummed smirking down at her " something... like that dear.." " wait.. you work at the carnival too? doing what?". he chuckled " as an entertainer for children.." Hannah put her hand over her mouth trying not to laugh so what he's like a clown or something? she couldn't imagine Robert as a clown " so like a clown pfft... I can't imagine you as a clown Robert hehe" Robert grinned as he watched Penelope infront amazed with the things around her.
" Oh.... you would be surprised what I can do darling..." he mumbled. Hannah picked up Penelope she was trying not to fall asleep from playing and having fun at the carnival all day she was holding onto a ballerina clown like doll " well I better take Penny home... thanks for today Robert it was.. nice" Robert nods " indeed maybe you would like to meet later this evening at the kissing bridge?" Hannah thought for a moment then nodded and smiled sweetly " yeah sure I'll see you later then bye" she said waving as she walked off with Penelope in her arms home. Robert chuckled to himself he just wanted it to be him and Hannah he wanted to know more about her he was curious with this girl. When Hannah got home she straight away took Penny to her room her mother was in the kitchen she took one glance at Hannah then went back to cooking. Hannah smiled as she placed Penelope in her bed she sighed brushing the hair out of Penny's face " sleep well sis.." she whispered as she walked out her room and into hers.
Hannah waited till it got darker to sneak out if her mother caught her she would be dead meat when she heard the bedroom door of her mothers room she opened her door slowly and sneaked downstairs grabbing a key along the way so she wouldn't be locked out and grabbed her hood too so neighbors wouldn't recognise her. Hannah sighed in relief actually surprised her mother didn't hear any noise she ran to the kissing bridge so she wouldn't be late meeting Robert.
When she got to the kissing bridge she couldn't see him anywhere huh maybe she was early?. Meanwhile under the bridge a low growl rumbled as two yellow glowing eyes pierced threw the dark Hannah jumped wondering what that noise was " oh god.. I hope Robert gets here soon.." Hannah mumbled as she hugged herself it got chilly all of a sudden. She jumped when she heard movement under the bridge she looked over the bridge slowly Robert popped out from underneath with a smirk Hannah screamed and jumped back putting a hand on her chest " my god... Robert dont do that you scared the life out of me! heh.... what are you doing down there?" Robert chuckled as he leaned his arms on the bottom of the bridge Hannah sat on the floor and put her legs threw the gaps of the bridge looking down at him " sorry.. my dear I didn't mean to... scare...you I was just admiring the river and how it glows in the moonlight..." Hannah looked at him in awe my she could listen to his voice all night.
Hannah giggled " heh thats nice why did you bring me out here then?.." she was curious why he wanted her to meet him at night but Hannah did not complain she doesn't talk to people that much... hardly ever Robert smiled and looked up at her for a minute she thought she saw his eyes flash yellow but must of been her imagination " to know you better my dear... I couldn't really ask you stuff today because of your little.....sister..." he lowly said " yeah.. sorry about that again... but ok ask away! hehe" all Robert had to do was learn about this young woman she was very different to other females then after he could kill her he knew her fear already losing the only thing she loves... the little brat of a sister Hannah was also a kid magnet he could use her well. " What do you do for a living my dear?" Hannah smiled down at him as she swung her legs " I make masks for children it's kind of a hobby but I do get some money from nice parents sometimes....even if I dont really need the money heh so I give the money im given to children that are orphaned" Hannah said sadly Robert scrunched up his nose a little he could smell her sadness and a mix of happiness like flowers in the salty sea. " How nice of you to do for them" Robert said with a smile.
Hannah nods " yeah I guess tough.. if my mother found out that I do that or that I snuck out tonight she would hit me.." Hannah mumbled as she looked away Robert raised an eyebrow " what do you mean?" he asked curiously Hannah sighed and smiled sadly " doesn't matter dont worry... I... I better get back it's getting late.." Hannah said as she stood up brushing her dress off Robert glared at her watching her carefully this girl was very weird he wanted to no needed to know more about Hannah that wasn't enough. " Of course dear sleep well maybe we could meet tomorrow I can show you what I do at the carnival?" Robert said with a smirk Hannah nodded as she put her hood up " hehe I would love too goodbye Robert.. oh and thank you" she said as she walked quickly home Robert became confused for a minute thank you? no human has thanked him before and what did he do for her to thank him?.
