"Well what are we gonna do Eds? What's your plan?" Richie asked genuinely curious. "We could trap him down in the sewers and pretend to summon a demon. Like we could get a candle and some fog machines." Eddie spoke with all seriousness, but he was fuming on the inside. He is so upset that Bowers had hurt Richie. "You sure that would work Eddie?" Richie didn't fully trust the idea.

"Yes, I am sure. Well sure enough. If it doesn't work we could always run away."
"Your plans are stupid."
"Shut up Richie! It's not like you have a better idea!"
"Fine, I'll give it a shot. It's not like I have anything to lose."

"Thanks, Richie." He gives Richie a small smile. "So, do you have a fog machine?" Richie asks. "Well no. We don't need one. If we go far enough down in the sewer tunnel we don't have to have one." He responded. Richie face palms but immediately regrets it and it opens up a wound on his face. "Ow fuck-" he groans. "You dumbass," Eddie says and wipes off the fresh blood with the still-damp cloth. "Thanks," Richie said in a grudging tone.

About an hour later they make their way down to the sewer tunnel after leaving a note at Henry Bowers ' step telling him to meet them there. "Oh Jeez, why did I think of this? I don't even wanna go in here it looks so gross! It's fucking shitty water right there!" Eddie regrets his idea about the sewer but not revenge. "I don't know man stop being a pussy." Richie said as he made his way into the tunnel but Eddie had not moved. "Come on Eddie spaghetti! It's not gonna work if I am the only one going." Richie sounded a bit annoyed. "Fine just don't get mad if I keep complaining and don't call me that. I'm not Eddie spaghetti." He rolls his eyes and goes into the gross, rank-smelling sewer tunnel. "Oh fuck this so so gross I am gonna get sick! We are splashing around in grey water! Like actual piss and shit!" Eddie complained. "Just suck it up Eddie spaghetti." Richie took out a flashlight from inside of his backpack and then zipped back up his bag. "It's gonna be dark until we light the candle so I thought we needed this," Richie said. Eddie sighs "Just begging down here brings back memories..."
"I know it's hard Eds but it was your idea."
"Yeah, you don't need to keep bringing that up!"

They begin to walk for a while. It felt like hours even though it was only about five minutes. "I hate this Richie. It just reminds me of last summer so much." Eddie was the first to break the silence. Well sorta if you don't count his numberless groans of getting splashed with the water. "I know Eddie it's hard for me too," Richie responded. "Do you think this is far enough Eddie?" He spoke once again. "Sure I don't wanna be down here much longer. It's so disgusting and rat-infested." Eddie said with so much disgust.
"Ok let's go over there. It has way less water because I know how much of a wuss you are."
"Shut up!"
Eddie begins to walk over there trying to avoid splashing. Eddie carefully sits down in the mucky water. Richie tried not to laugh at how careful Eddie was being.
"Ah, my pants are now wet!"
"What did you expect? You sat down in shit water."
"Oh no, I'm gonna get some weird disease now," Eddie said a little panicked. "Calm down you will be fine." Richie sat across from Eddie and took off his bag. "No, I won't Richie." Eddie wines. Richie unzips his backpack. He rummages around in it. He pulls out a small lighter and candle.

"This will help make the effect more creepy." Richie chuckles. "OK, Richie. If you say so." He responds. Richie lights the candle and holds it in the palm of his hand. "I don't know what to say wanna practice?" Richie requests. "Sure. Ok ahem.. ahh I am satan and I am gonna take your soul." Eddie says.
"Wow, you suck at acting."
"Shut up Richie! Why don't you try!"
"OK then."
Richie rolls his eyes back and says random words in English and different languages. The candle flickers creepily.
"Ow.... Something doesn't feel right..." Richie closes his eyes and puts the candle down. "Well rolling your eyes back can hurt dumbass," Eddie said a bit annoyed. "No, it's not that.." Richie begins to open his eyes. They glowed red. "Richie? Are you ok...?" Eddie asked and started to panic. Richie's eyes went pitch black and he got thrown up into the air. He stayed put up in that air just floating there.

"RICHIE! WHAT THE FUCK!" Eddie screams in fear. Suddenly something starts to Pearce through Richies back. Blood starts to drip slowly into the water below. Eddie slowly scoots away in fear. Large deep red wings Break through his skin. Richies unconscious body slams into the sewage water below. Eddie just stares at his motionless body.
