This story is told from the Mad Clown's perspective. Any grammatical errors or oddities are intentional. Any spelling errors are not, and I will greatly appreciate them being pointed out.
A couple of warnings. There is some extreme violence in this, nothing I'd really call torture though. I'll also warn you that I can be a fucking terrifying person sometimes, and that is pretty likely to come out in this character of mine. If you haven't left, enjoy! :D
I do not walk, for walking is mundane. But my preferred mode of locomotion cannot be called dancing. When I dance it is in no way mistakable for any other action. Perhaps glided is a good word; yes, I glided down the dark street, lit only by occasional -- and very dirty -- street lamps.
After a while I saw the girl, and her song touched my heart with much of the saddening. A poignant song; for she was sold as a sex slave at a young age, and beaten abused and eventually broken by her master and his associates. She had stopped even trying to escape.
The man standing next to her was the source of most of her misery, so I started my dance. Neither saw me until I'd already broken the side of the man's -- ugly and wrinkled -- face.
He tried to get up, but I struck with the knife this time, and took the head -- quite messily -- off. I was smiling under the mask, which the girl couldn't see; a moot point since my mask is always smiling.
I spoke to her, she who's song had so moved me "Come with me and you will never be a slave again" I could feel her song change to fear "I won't force you. I merely offer refuge. If you have somewhere else to go, I will be on my merry way" She grabs my arm tight her song is in turmoil and discord, but her decision is clear.
I skip us to my home, deep, deep under ground. The girl has passed out in my arms. I take a small sample of blood, to discover if she has any illnesses or nutritional deficiencies. She has no illness, but her health is not good. I remove and burn the rags she was wearing, and set about making new clothes for her. This takes not long after measuring all of the measurements.
But before she can be dressed, there are scars. Some old and warped by growth, some fresh and raw. I quickly remove them, as well as the areas of scar tissue around wrists and ankles from shackles. She looks much prettier without them.
I notice that she needs washing, so I attend to that. Then, her chocolate skin clean, I can dress her and lay her on a mat. I start preparing tea, a thing that I love making for guests, though I have had few before.
"Where am I?" greats me from the direction of the girl.
I turn and say "in the resting place of the mad clown"
Her song is of curiosity, so I answer the questions "I washed and dressed you. Unfortunately, feeding and re-hydrating can't be easily accomplished while asleep, so I have had to wait on those."
