She gasped and opened her eyes. Her head was throbbing. Was she hit in the head? She found herself in the cell with a light hanging on the ceiling. Belle was about to get up, but she was chained down. But something else was wrong. She looked down at her bare stomach and see a mark above her belly button. The man in a red robe came down the stairs and approach the cell. He took off his hood to reveal his face. He has red eyes, brown hair, and a scar over his face. Belle can tell he's from the Cult of Chud. The cult took her.
"Belle Whitehurst. About time you are awake." He spoke.
"What the hell is this? Where am I?" Belle asked, pulling the chains. The man opens the cell and unlock the chains to free her arms and legs. Belle pulls her shirt down to hide her stomach with a mark. She was dragged out of the cell by a man to bring her upstairs. "I need answers! Why am I here?"
"Silence." The man spoke. "You will get your answers right away. Stay calm." Then, they walk up the stairs and made it down the corridor.
Opening the door, Belle let out a gasp to see the lobby. There is a throne, a red carpet, and many people dressed in red robes. Is this a mansion or a castle? What exactly is this place? The cult lives here. The same blond woman from Belle's dreams walked up to Belle with a smile.
"Welcome to our home, Belle." She spoke. She took her by the hand. "Please forgive us for bringing you here by force, but...you left us no choice."
"What're you talking about?" Belle asked, pulling her hand away. "And what the hell is this mark here?" She pointed down at her stomach where the mark is by pulling up her shirt a bit.
"Since you are holding Pennywise's baby, you will have to give it to us." The woman replied. Belle made a look at her, but the woman continued to speak. "Trust us, Belle. You did the right thing for not joining Pennywise. Stay with us until you give birth. We will take care of your child and make it mortal. Remember what I warned you before? In 27 years, Pennywise will be dead. If you don't accept our offer, you and the child will die along with the monster."
"How can I trust you?" Belle asked. "Maybe you're saying those things just to keep me away from him and scare me."
"You can trust us. Join us, and we will protect you from Pennywise when he awakens." The other woman said. "This place is our sanctuary. Evil cannot come here. Maturin keeps us safe, and he will keep you safe. He didn't want you to get through being with Pennywise."
"Join the cult." The man spoke. Belle is silent. Did they really care for her and her unborn baby? But she isn't sure if she should trust them. The love for Pennywise is too strong. Belle closes her eyes and focus on her power. The ground started to shake. The members of the cult try to hold onto something. Then, Belle spread out her arms and the people in robes were thrown back. Belle's eyes turn yellow.
"Stop her!" One of them cried. But Belle made every single member float from the ground and bring them down to the floor hard, breaking their necks. The blond woman gritted her teeth as she watched her people die before her. Belle brought her hand out and the woman choked a bit. Her eyes glow a bit as she watches the woman gasping for air.
"If any of you try to come after me, I will kill you all. And the cult will be no more." Belle said. She dropped the woman and took off. The woman coughed, holding her throat and see the door open, and Belle disappeared.
"Dammit..." She coughed.
Belle teleported to the Neibolt House. She locked the front doors so no one will ever come inside. She must protect this place for her husband. She has 27 years till he's awake. But what will she do for 27 years? She'll be raising a child alone, and it'll be an adult. If only she'll just jump in the hole in the sewer lair before. Belle took a deep breath, and head down the basement to face the well. She must try to join Pennywise. The baby will be alright. She will have to try and protect it while sleeping.

She stood before the hole where Pennywise fell in to sleep for years. Belle looked down and see nothing but darkness. Memories of him falling down there came back to her. She must try to hibernate, or the cult will find her again. She must protect the baby.
"Bill, Georgie, everyone. I love you all. Please forgive me. I hope I'll see you in 27 years." Belle said, cupping her hands. She climbed on the ledge and face down the darkness. "Penny, I'm coming." She let out a sigh and jump down the hole.

After seconds of falling, she floats down. She couldn't see anything. It's too dark. She looks up to see light getting further and further away. She is leaving her world. Suddenly, she felt something. She couldn't see what it is, but her hands felt something soft and satin. She could hear growling behind her. She turns her whole body around, her hands reaching for the top and feel the head with hair.
"Pennywise?" She asked, her voice echoes throughout the darkness. She felt arms wrap around her body and brought her close to the body. It's Pennywise, she knows it is. "I'm here. You won't be alone. If you can hear me, I had to join you. The cult was after me and our baby." Belle's eyes start to get heavy. She's going to sleep. "See you soon..."
And so, Belle was held close by the sleeping clown. She too, fell into a deep sleep. In 27 years, they will reunite. Together, they will raise a child.
The Losers Club are sitting around the fields. They have been looking for Belle for days and guessed she must've been in hibernation with IT without saying goodbye. Which she did, but they are unaware that she did it to get away from the cult. Bill and Georgie were heartbroken.
"She's just...gone. Without saying goodbye." Beverly said.
"She doesn't care about us anymore." Richie spoke. "All she cares about is that stupid clown that tried to kill us."
"Bill, you said she is pregnant with IT's baby?" Stan asked, looking at the leader of the club. Bill nodded sadly. Everyone faced him in silent and shock.
"It's official." Mike said. "She's pregnant and...that baby will be a monster. Belle chose the clown over us." Georgie started to cry. Bill held him close. He stood up, grabbing a piece of glass. He wanted everyone to swear that if IT returns along with Belle, they will return to finish the job to kill the clown. Before Bill could slice their hands, Ben spoke up.
"What about Belle?" He asked. "What will we do to her?"
"We won't...kill her, will we?" Eddie asked. Bill didn't say anything. He remembered what Maturin told him and the kids. Pennywise and Belle are linked. When the time comes, they will find out a way to save their guardian of children. So, the Losers Club did a Blood Oath, promising each other to come back if the clown returns with its mate.
27 years is a long wait. But they will be ready for the next encounter.
