The Years After (IT Chapter Two fanfic)(Sequel to Summer of '89)

11.

They all ran across town to the Neilbolt house. When they turned the corner and saw the dark house, Charlie's heart froze and she remembered everything from that one summer. They found Bill on the street next to his bike about to go inside.

"Bill wait!" Beverly told him. "You don't have to go in alone"

"No it's my fault you guys are h-here. I wanted to find G-Georgie and made you guys come with me. I can't have you guys do this with me"

"We're not doing this without you" Bev told him.

"Losers stick together" Ben said.

Bill took a breath and nodded. He knew it'd be better if they all went in to fight with him.

"Does someone want to say something?" Eddie asked them before they entered.

"Richie said it better" Charlie said, looking over at him.

"I don't wanna die?" Richie asked. She shook her head.

"You're lucky we're not measuring dicks?"

"No" she said.

"Let's kill this fucking clown?" he asked.

Charlie smirked and nodded. Richie looked more confident now and he said it again.

"Let's kill this fucking clown"

They entered the house. It was much darker than it was before and not just because it was nighttime, the vibe it was giving was very dark and hot tar was coming down the stairs. Charlie had her baseball bat from the clubhouse gripped tightly in her hands.

"Well, I love what he's done with the place" Richie said.

"Beep beep Richie" Bev said.

Charlie, Eddie, Richie, and Bill were walking in front and they went into a room. They shone their flashlights around but the room seemed to be empty. They then heard Ben gasping and yell in the other room. They turned but the door slammed closed separating them. They tried opening it but it was locked.

"Ben! Ben!" They slammed their hands on the door as they kept hearing him yelling.

The fridge in the room started to shake. They moved away from the door and moved their lights to the fridge. Charlie raised her bat, ready to attack whatever was inside. The door opened and inside was a boy's body. His arms and legs twisted to fit inside the fridge. But the boy seemed very familiar.

"It's Stanley" Richie said.

The head disconnects from the body and tumbled out onto the floor.

"I'd still be alive if it wasn't for you Bill" the head of Stanley said.

Charlie's breath was caught in her throat as she saw her long lost "friend". Suddenly, bug-like legs started to pop out from the side of his face. They were all watching in fear to what was happening to him. Eight hairy spider legs were attached to his face.

"You gotta be fucking kidding me" Richie said.

Stanley starts to laugh in a creepy way, and then he started attacking. He moved all throughout the room chasing the four friends trying to get them. He jumped off the wall and was flying to Charlie but she hit him with her bat and he was thrown across the room and he was gone. Eddie was frozen stiff in the corner.

"Eddie you okay?" Charlie asked him. Richie stood in front of him about to help but drool was dripping on top of them. Richie looked up and shone his light and saw the Stanley spider.

"Oh there he is" he said.

Stan then jumps on Richie's face and he yells, trying to get it off. He falls on the floor and Bill tried to get it off of him, Charlie throws the bat to the floor and went to help him. Richie yells at them to get it off of him as Stanley keeps trying to bite him. Eddie was still frozen in the corner, not moving.

"T-T-The knife" Bill said. There was a knife just a few feet away from them but if they let go of the Stan, it would kill Richie.

"God dammit Eddie get the knife!" Charlie yells at Eddie, but he still wasn't moving.

Suddenly, Ben bursts in the room with the knife in his hand and stabs Stan's head multiple times. They throw the head off of Richie's face as it hides away.

"Hey Rich" Charlie says. She helps him sit up as he chokes out and regains his breath.

Bill runs up to Eddie and grabs him by the collar.

"He could've fucking died! Georgies dead, the kids dead, Stanley's dead, you want Richie dead too? Do you want Richie dead too?!" he yelled at him. Charlie tells him to stop yelling at him.

"I don't, I don't" Eddie tells him with his voice shaking. "Please don't be mad Bill, I was just scared"

They all look at him understandingly.

"T-That's what he wants, don't give it to him" Bill tells him.

Charlie helped Richie off the floor and handed him his glasses, as he stood up she grabbed her bat. Ben helped Eddie unfreeze from the corner and they walked down to the basement. Mike walked up next to Charlie.

"You okay?" he placed a light hand on the small of her back.

"Awesome"
