Benny's POV
I walked inside my apartment and closed the door, locking it. It wasn't the best time for me to be paranoid but the whole walk home I felt like I was being followed.

Of course that could just be my nerves because of what was happening to Jesse but you could never be too sure. I was almost positive that I had been followed. So I took precautions and locked all the windows and the front door.

I wasn't taking any chances but even if I did lock everything up, if I was being stalked by a clown then there was no stopping him from getting in, especially if he got in Jesse's house without much effort.

Which remains a mystery. Everything had been locked down tight...well his bedroom window had been anyway. So the clown must have already been in the house.

And that meant that I wasn't safe even with locked doors and windows. If anything, I was locking myself in with whoever was probably in my apartment.

But I was positive that I was being paranoid.

I was awakened by the sound of something crashing to the floor in the living room. I sat up instantly and made my way out of my room. Walking into the living room I saw that a vase that my friend had gotten me had fallen and shattered on impact.

I shook my head and sighing I began to pick up the broken pieces. I picked up a shard and accidentally cut my finger. Cursing I stood up and walked towards the kitchen, turning the faucet on and rinsed my finger as blood began to well.

I turned the faucet on just in time to hear the sound of footsteps coming from behind me. I spun around to find no one there. But my front door was wide open. Inhaling sharply, I rushed to the door and checked the hallway. I looked up and down the hallway but no one was out there. I quickly shut my door and bolted it shut.

Something was thrown at my window and I strode to it, looking out. What I saw scared the hell out of me.

A clown stood on the ground below grinning devilishly and he was holding balloons.

I backed away from the window and grabbed my phone. I went back to snap a picture only to catch him as he was leaving. I then called Jesse, only hoping he answered.

Jesse's POV
I woke to my phone ringing loudly in the middle of the night. I groaned and rolled over grabbing it from my nightstand and answering.

"Hello?"

"Jesse, there was a clown here in my apartment." Benny said. He sounded really freaked.

I sat up, the sudden movement waking Ashley. "Seriously?"

"Yes. I don't know what to do. I-I had locked everything and he still managed to get in."

I threw the covers off me and stood up. "I'm coming over Benny. Whatever you do don't open the door for anyone until I get there. Okay?"

"Yeah..."

I hung up with Benny and realized that Ashley was watching me. "Was that Benny?"

I nodded once before stumbling around in the dark, looking for some pants. He threw on a sweatshirt and said, "A clown was in his house and he's scared."

"Oh my God. Is he okay?" Ashley wanted to know.

"He's fine. Freaked out but I'm sure when I get there hell he'll be alright." I threw some random jeans on and asked, "If you wanna come, get dressed."

When we arrived Benny was scared and shaken. Of all his life, I knew that Benny never expected to happen to him. I have never seen Benny so scared before and it was nagging at me.

I hated it when he was upset. It made me want to find that stupid clown and kick his ass for this. But of course...it wasn't that easy. And he was watching me too so every move I made he knew about it. Which also meant he knew I was here.

And that was also why I wasn't even remotely surprised when my phone rang. And what do ya know...it was an Unknown number.

"Okay. What is it that you want?"

"Who says I want anything?"

"You attacked my friend. Am I supposed to believe that this was a coincidence?"

"Oh believe me Jesse. This was far from a coincidence."

"Benny has nothing to do with this you asshole! What the fuck did you come to his house for?" I demand.

"Benny boy has everything to do with this Jesse. He's your friend. And pretty soon there will be a game. A game for survival and you will not be able to refuse."

"What game? What fucking game?!" I shout.

"You won't find out until I want you to, so I suggest you lower your voice. And besides...all I'm doing is picking the best candidates for the game. And that happens to be your friend Benny."

What the fuck? Why is this happening to me? To us?

"Tell me what you want and I'll give it to you. Just please leave us alone."

Ashley and Benny had been listening for the past five minutes

"I can't do that Jesse. And I don't want to."

I took a shuddering breath as he hung up. I slowly set my phone down and even more slowly sat down. Benny stared at me.

"He's not gonna stop is he?" He asked knowing full well what the answer was going to be.

I shook my head. "He thinks it's some kind of game."

"Well it's a game that I don't want any part of." Benny said.

I thought about what the clown had said and sighed. "I don't think we have much of a choice."
