A Mate's Rebirth

*Chapter 3: Awakening*

*1988*

Robert Gray was standing across from the church, watching the humans walk out of the doors. What they don't know is that their God is a turtle. That old, stupid turtle. The disguised entity narrowed his eyes when he sees a woman who saved Georgie's life two days ago. Belle is talking to the priest who brought up about her brave actions. That made Robert angry. How could he let that woman stop him from the sewer drain that day? She kicked him in a face.
Since that day, Robert couldn't stop thinking about her. IT wanted revenge. Belle walked down the steps and get to her car. Robert left the spot to return to his well house.

Pennywise stares up at his tower of junk and the lost toys of his victims. Some of the children are floating around the tower. The sunlight hits the tower. He still can't stop thinking about Belle's voice, her appearance. The clown yelled and threw the chair side. The chair broke after it hit the wall. Pennywise walked inside his circus wagon and look at himself in a broken mirror.

"That human female!" He growled. "She will face her fate. She saved the meal. That boy would've been in my grasp by then." Pennywise picked up the paper boat with an angry look in his eyes. "Belle Whitehurst will meet Pennywise. Yes, she will." He said. Yesterday he had been watching her every move in Derry. He's been studying her. He learned that she is the loveliest woman in town. Men wanted her. But she turned them down. What made Pennywise angry is the nickname the head librarian calls her. The guardian of all children. That will not do. But why is Pennywise haunted? He dreamt of her last night.
Belle was surrounded by red balloons, wearing a red dress. She is staring at him with a death glare. Her dark brown hair floats behind her. She did nothing but stare at him down with her emerald eyes. The clown woke up angrily. He believed that she will be his problem if he didn't do something sooner. Unless the turtle is taunting him, telling him that she will stop him at any cost.

'Then tell me, Maturin. Why I see her standing there?' Pennywise thought. 'I feel her, I see her. The sun caught in her brunette hair is blazing out...' He stopped as he sensed someone in his street. It's her. Belle is approaching his property.

"Well...seems like we are going to meet in person. Time to bring her in..." Pennywise said with an evil smirk. He left his sewer lair to get up in the house to set a trap for the so-called guardian.

"Belle..." A voice spoke softly. "Belle...wake up. Wake up. Wake up." A gloved hand touches the forehead of a sleeping woman. Her dark hair pooled around her. She still looks the same. Pale and beautiful. Belle will always stay that way. "Rise and shine, my Beauty." A same voice said with a slight giggle. Belle woke up with a gasp of breath. Her vision is blurry for a moment. She rubbed her eyes and blink at someone who is speaking to her. A familiar face. Pennywise stares down at her with a smile. "Good morning." He said with a toothy grin. Belle formed a smile and sat up to hug her clown lover.

"Pennywise..." She sighed. She is nuzzling her face against his ruffled collar. Pennywise embraced her, petting her hair with one hand. "Oh, Penny...I've missed you so much."

"Me too, my dear. Me too. For 27 years...I've been waiting for us to come back." Pennywise said. Belle opened her eyes and pull away from him. She looked around the room. They are in the Neibolt House. Not in the sewer lair. Pennywise must've brought her up in the room after he awakens. It's been 27 years. Belle groaned a little, holding her head.

"To me, it felt like...I was in a long dream and didn't realize it's been so many years." Belle said. But she remembered the dream she had. Her daughter. She touches her stomach and see she isn't any different. But she is still pregnant. Pennywise noticed this and touch her stomach.
