Monsters (Pennywise X Reader)

Chapter 16

A few hours went by until she heard voices coming from one of the tunnels. She hid in another tunnel, hoping that she could see and hear what they were doing. She kept peeking from the rock she was behind, sometimes waiting more to appear again, afraid they would see her. The woman watched as they lit a fire inside a weird object and then began to chant something she couldn't understand even the cavern having so much echo.

Suddenly, the dimly lit place becomes as bright as the sun. The soulmate's four lights were coming down the ceiling, they rotated and swirled between one another. The woman became really afraid. What if the ritual actually worked? What if they were killed? What if... There were so many possibilities!

She saw the lights enter the box in the middle of the room, her eyes accompanying the black man closing it. However, a red rubbery thing started coming out from the box, getting bigger by the second, making the adults there get away from the crater, knowing that it would pop. (Y/n) too hid behind the wall, afraid of the noise and the outcome of the ritual.

The balloon popped, making her jump on her place, her ears hurting from the loud noise. She got up from her hiding place, looking at the group, asking herself if everything was fine. Then, she saw it hiding in the crater, bigger than she had ever seen it. The woman of the group (she remembered her name, Beverly) pointed her flashlight at it, screaming as she saw its face.

"Oh, did it work Mikey? Did it work?" it asked between the thorns of the crater, laughing wildly "Tell them why your silly little ritual didn't work." it moves around inside the place "Tell them it's all just a... What's the word, Eds? Gazebo." it jokes alone.

The woman couldn't hear the humans talking, they were too afraid to say anything too loud. But, she could hear it loud and clear, its words echoing around the place. She got out of her hiding place, getting closer to the crater, almost inside it with the clown, now bigger and with more hands.

"Oh, Mikey. You never told them the full story, did you?" it laughed again "Didn't want them to know what actually happened to the poor Shakapiwa."

"Fuck, Mikey! You lied to us again?!" Bill screams, shocked and angry at his friend.

"The-They didn't believe they could kill it, that's why it didn't work back then!" he screams while stuttering.

"Are you fucking kidding me, Mike?!" the man she recognized as Richie screams at the black guy.

While they bickered with one another, the box behind Pennywise liberated its three lights. They hit each other and caused lighting to flash around the ceiling. The group of friends tried covering their eyes.

"Pennywise!" (Y/n) screamed, loud enough for just the clown to hear.

It turned to her worried, asking itself why she was right there and not hiding.

"My light is still inside the box!" she says worried, getting closer to it.

"Don't worry. When I'm finished with them, we'll fix it." it says, gulping in fear. It was one of the few times she saw it be afraid.

She nodded and standed back, leaving the creature to do what it needed, but she didn't leave the crater, still worried about her Deadlight. She stayed in the middle of it, afraid that the group would try something against her.

"27 years I dreamt of you." it says, getting out of the crater, getting bigger and becoming a half insect as it showed its body to the group "I craved you. Oh! I missed you!" it laughs "Waiting... For... This very... Moment." it gets closer to Mike, his friends screaming at him to run "Time to float!" the clown's hands become a claw of some sort, resembling a crustacean.
