BAD DREAM, bill denbrough

vi. ENCOUNTERS

Sabrina was riding her bike home, but she froze when she heard a noise behind her. She stopped peddling and put her feet on the ground, turning her head to see what was behind her. "Oh, hey, Eddie? You didn't have to follow me, I can get home fine." She told him, then furrowed her brows when he wasn't on his bike. "Where's your bike? Did you leave it at Ben's?"

"I don't need a bike." Eddie spoke back before a sickening grin grew on his face. "W-what the-" Sabrina cut herself off as she watched Eddie's body begin to stretch. "What the fuck!?" She screamed, stumbling backwards. She watched as Eddie's body stretched into another figure, Bill growing out of his side. Sabrina watched in fear as Eddie's body continued to stretch and stretch until the members of the loser club were standing in front of her. Except it wasn't them.

They all began crying, shouting at the girl and asking her why she was scared of them. But they weren't crying tears. They were crying blood.

"Don't be scared, Sabrina. We're just your worst fear." Richie's smile grew and Sabrina screamed, watching as he ran towards her, jumping onto her body. "Stop it!" She cried out as his hand reached for her neck and gripped it. "S-stop it, Rich!" She choked as tears streamed down her face. She was about to give up, but shook her head. She couldn't.

She reached her knee up and launched her foot into his stomach, resulting in her being dropped.

Her hand reached up to her throat as she let out a sob and tried to crawl away, but her foot was grabbed and she got dragged back. This time by Ben. "Ben..." Sabrina cried, "Think again." He cackled, his skin beginning to rot, causing Sabrina to scream.

"Get away from me, you sick fuck!" She yelled, crawling away as she tried to stand up. "Oh come on, Sab. That's not very nice." Bill chimed. "B-Bill?" She whispered, a tear streaming down her face. "Hey? Why are you so sad? Don't be sad, Sabrina." He whispered quietly, cupping her cheek and wiping the tear away. She leaned into his touch slightly before he began to laugh. "You really are a dumb bitch, aren't you?" He questioned, using the hand that was on her cheek to smack her face.

Sabrina whimpered in pain, bringing a hand to her face. "Wha- what?" She asked, more tears going down her face. "You heard me!" He yelled, his voice turning demonic as orange hair began to grow out of his head. "What the fuck..." She muttered as Ben's face returned to normal, no longer rotten. "Oh my god, what is happening right now?"  She whispered to herself, covering her mouth.

"Hi, Sab. Wanna play?" Stanley asked, a large grin on his face. "No, I don't." She said. "What was that?" He questioned, a frown forming on his face. "I said I don't want too. Get the fuck away from me!" She yelled, standing up. The Loser club's faces turned angry as they stared at her, "We don't like being yelled at, Sabrina." They said in unison, giving her looks of rage.

They began sprinting towards her and she quickly jumped out of the way. The group stumbled as she regained her balance and quickly grabbed her bike, getting onto it. "Don't run away, Sabrina. Come play with us!" She heard Beverly shout from behind her, her voice much deeper than usual.

"I don't want to play with you, you freak!" She screamed, getting closer and closer to her house. "That's not a nice thing to call your friend, Sabrina." She heard her say as she got closer. "Shit. Shit. Shit." She muttered, peddling faster before she got thrown off her bike.

"Come and be with me and Georgie." Bill said in a demonic voice, hovering on top of her. "No!" She shouted as Eddie and Stanley grabbed her arms and pinned her to the ground while Beverly and Ben pinned her legs down, scratching her. Bill's mouth stretched and rows of razor sharp teeth showed, she could feel his nails digging into her cheek and let out a scream of pain. "Holy fucking shit!" She screamed, "Get off of me, you shark!"

"Billy, stop!" She cried before looking around. "I'm sorry." She muttered before flinging her head forward and head butting him, Bill quickly losing his grip. She watched as his figure disintegrated and she let out a scream, "No!" She thrashed as much as she could to get the other members of the group to loosen their holds. She finally got free, grabbed her bike, and peddled.

She glanced behind her and saw that they were all gone and she let out a breath of relief, finally arriving at her house.

She threw down her bike and wiped her tears before running into the house. "Sabrina, you're a mess!" Her mother scolded. "Not right now, mom." She screamed with a shaky voice. She couldn't do this right now. "What happened?" Her mom shouted at her. "I can't do this right now, mom. Leave me alone!" She yelled as loud as she could before she ran into her room and slammed the door.

She slid down the door and let out a sob, not being able to contain it anymore. She reached a hand up to her face and hissed when she felt the nail indents on her cheek. She quickly rose to her feet and looked in her mirror. It's safe to say she looked like absolute shit. She let out a sad cry as her fingers ran along her bruised neck. Richie.

She then stumbled over to her door and walked out, going to the bathroom.

She grabbed supplies out from under the sink and cleaned up her cheek along with her scratched up leg. She then went back to her room and sat on her bed, bringing her knees up to her chest and rocking back and forth for comfort.

Her head shot towards her bedroom door when she heard it open and she spotted Eddie. "No..." She cried. "Sabrina? You okay?" He asked her, but she shook her head, "You're not real." She sobbed, her body shaking along with her voice. "Please stop." She screamed and covered her ears, "Leave me alone!"

"Sabrina, it's me, it's okay." Eddie put his hands out in front of him in defense as he stepped towards her. "P-prove it." She sniffled, looking up at him. "One or two." He smiled softly as the girl let out a sob, "Thank god it's you." She cried as her brother walked over and sat beside her, pulling her into him as she cried.

"What happened, Sabrina?" He whispered, but the girl immediately shook her head. "N-no." She cried, in which Eddie immediately responded by rocking her, telling her it's okay.

Sabrina soon grew exhausted from all the crying she had done and ended up falling asleep in the arms of her, very much real, brother.
