Mate of Pennywise

*Chapter 18: Feeling the Love*

"Where am I?" Kyle wondered, wandering around the mist of nothingness. It felt like limbo. No one was around. No voices. Nothing. He called out, hoping to get any respond. "Hello?"

"Fear not, human." A voice said, making Kyle jump out of his wits.

"Who's there?"

"I am Maturin." A voice said. The big sea turtle was revealed. Kyle stares in awe. "You are a friend of Belle Whitehurst."

"How do you know about Belle? Just...who are you?"

"I am a creator of your universe, my boy. I create many worlds." Maturin spoke. Kyle blinked, confused. Maturin continued. "I have come into your dreams to warn you about Belle. She is slowly following the dark."

"What're you talking about? Belle was just out of town." Kyle replied. Maturin's eyes glow white, and Kyle's eyes matched his. The man let out a grunt and held his head, and his eyes turn back to normal. "What did you do?"

"I have erased the lie that Belle has given you months before."

"What?"

"Kyle, please listen to me. You and the children must save Belle and stop Pennywise." Maturin said. Kyle was completely lost now. What is the turtle talking about? "The children have the power of Shine. If you want answers, speak to the Losers Club. They know the truth about Belle." Maturin said. He floats away towards the mist.

"Wait a minute!" Kyle called, reaching for the turtle. "Hey!" But it was too late. The turtle disappeared.

Kyle woke up with a gasp, sweating. That was a weird dream. But it concerns him. He started to think back what Maturin told him. Was Belle in danger? He started to remember the last time he saw her. She was at his front door, and he ask her so many questions, then her eyes change color and then everything went blank. Something isn't right. Kyle must find out where Belle is.

"I should talk to the kids. They must know." He said to himself. "I don't know why, but the turtle is the one I should trust." He faces the clock and see it's morning. He might as well start looking for answers today.

Kyle got dressed and head out of his house and see police cars and an ambulance speeding down the street. Something must've happened. Kyle rushed to his car. He wanted to know what was going on. Did a child get attacked? Or did someone find someone responsible for taking the children away? He started the car and back up.

He drove down the street and see the cars blocking the road to get across the bridge. Kyle stopped and got out of the car to see the commotion. Officer Bowers leans against his car, broke down. Kyle pushed through the crowd and see people brought up a dead body. It was Henry. His neck and shoulder were torn.

"Oh shit." Kyle gasped, covering his mouth. The bag was over the body and brought to the ambulance truck. People around the young man started to ask questions. Henry didn't go missing, he was attacked by something or someone. But people believe it was a wild animal. "What could've done this?" Kyle wondered. He left the crowd after the police told the rest to leave the bridge. Outside the scene, Robert watched in amusement, leaning against the tree. Then he notices Kyle going back to his car, bewildered by this horrific scene.

"It wasn't me this time, dumb humans. It was my lovely mate." Robert whispered with a smirk. He then sees the children with Georgie, watching the scene in confusion. Robert knew his cue. He has to leave before they notice him.
The Losers Club moved their bikes out of the way for the ambulance and the police to get through. Then Kyle pulls up by them.
