Mate of Pennywise

*Chapter 20: Warnings to Give*

"What do you mean she didn't tell you?" Kyle asked the kids. They are outside of Bill's garage. They told Kyle what happened in a dream by using the Shine to contact Belle. Kyle is getting frustrated. He needs to know what IT's weaknesses are. "Okay. Only one way to find out." He walked over to his car.

"Wait. Where're you going?" Mike asked.

"Going to the Neibolt House. You said Belle's there with that thing, right?"

"You can't go in there!" Stan exclaimed. "You'll die! And we'll die too!"

"You won't die." Kyle said, coming up to the boy. "It's going to be me. Listen, this is a risky move, but I'm willing to do anything to keep you all safe and try to get Belle back. I'll kill the clown myself."

"You're insane!" Richie said.

"Don't do this." Bill begged. "We want her b-b-b-back as much as you do but going inside th-th-that house or enter the sewers, IT will kill you. We h-h-h-have to wait until we learn more."

"Who are we gonna ask? Nobody knows about this thing." Beverly asked. "Nobody believes about a clown that eats kids or took Belle hostage."

"Maturin should tell us." Ben said. "He knows about IT since he's the creator of our universe. Let's just call him out in our dreams and have him tell us how to defeat the clown."

"He better, or we're screwed." Richie said. Kyle sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. The kids are right. He can't enter the Neibolt House. Not now. Not yet. So, he will have to wait. Georgie watched his brother and his friends from outside the garage with a frown. He touches his arm socket, thinking back the day he was bitten by a clown. Kyle walked up to Georgie, telling him that everything will be okay and not to worry. But the boy wasn't convinced. He was scared. He was scared for Belle's changes and life.

Kyle sat by the table in the library to think things through. The library isn't the same without Belle, even the head librarian believed her dead. As the young man went back to reading, he heard a nursery rhyme. He turned around and see a red balloon by. It heads towards the door where it leads the backroom where most books are stock in boxes. Kyle got up and follow the red balloon. He knew something isn't right.
He walked downstairs and continue to follow the red balloon as the nursery rhyme continued. The room is like a maze. The lights flicker a bit. Kyle turned to the right and the balloon is gone, and the singing children stopped. The place is too quiet. The man didn't back down. He had a chilling feeling.

"You're here." He said. "Show yourself. Tell me what the fuck you are." Coming from the stairs ahead of him was Robert. Before he could speak, Robert's eyes glow yellow, smirking at him. Kyle stood his ground. "I was expecting someone else."

"So sorry." Robert responded. "Pennywise can't be here now. You have me to speak with."

"I have no time for games. The kids told me everything." Kyle said. "Is Belle a monster like you?"

"Why would you care, Kyle? She barely talks about you when she's with me. All she talks about are those kids. The Losers Club is what they are called." Robert replied. "Besides, you are wasting time. She belongs to me. She gave herself up to me."

"Wh-what're you talking about?!"

"We both mated."

"...What?"

"We have done the Consummation." Robert said. "Surely you know what it means. It means she is mine. She is my wife now. She belongs to no one." Kyle couldn't believe what he is hearing. He felt like he wanted to throw up. Robert sniffed the air. "What's the smell? You feel like fear." Kyle felt his heart beat hard when those words repeat in his head. The Consummation. How could Belle do this? She slept with the entity. Robert can hear his thoughts. He smirked. "You could think that she has faced one of the deadliest sins ever known. Lust." Robert circles Kyle slowly like a predator. "The way she moves underneath me. Her moans. And the way she tastes..." Kyle breathes hard through his nose. He is angry. The man is trying to make him jealous. But it isn't working. Kyle never has such thoughts about Belle. "And the way she says the clown's name, and her screams-"
