A failed revenge (reddie)

7

"What the fuck.." Eddie's voice trembles. His heart jumps to his throat and he starts to have a cold sweat at the back of his neck. "Why is he in this book..." his voice starts to crack. He tries to read what it says but it's in Spanish. Eddie takes the book and checks it out. On his way back to Richie's house he's shaking the whole way.

"Ugh. He's taking forever I swear to god." Richie groans. "I don't know how long I can wait." Richie continues to complain about how long Eddie is taking. The front door swings open loudly and slams shut with a loud smack. "Richie! Get down here now." Eddie spoke in a fearful tone. "Sure thing one sec Eds." Richie immediately rushed down the stairs. "Did you find something?" Richie said with a little excitement in his voice.
"You can say that.."
"What do you mean? Did you not find something?"
"No, no I did. It's just that.." Eddie cut himself off. "Just look." Eddie handed Richie the old raggedy book. "Alright?" Richie's voice sounds a little confused and curious. "Open to the last page." Eddie's voice starts to crumble in fear. Richie does what Eddie wants and once he sees it the blood drains from his face. The grip on the book loosens and it crashes to the floor making a loud bash. Richie looked up at Eddie and then back at the page over and over again. "What the Fuck.." Richie's voice shakes. "Eddie, did you put this in here?"
"No! Why would I do that?!"
"Because if you did it's not funny!"
"I didn't Richie! I promise! This isn't a time for jokes!"
"Then why the hell am I in there?!"
"I don't know!!"
"Eddie! If this is a prank I swear to god I will slap you!"
"It's not a prank!"
"Then why else am I in there!!"
"It's some weird prophecy I don't know!"
"Really? That's stupid!"
"I know. I couldn't read the description it's in Spanish."
"Why the hell is it in Spanish?" Richie sounded very confused by the fact it was in Spanish more than why he was in the book.

"Stop asking me questions that you know I don't have answers for!"
"Well, I don't know what to do!"
"Neither do I!"
Eddie sighs. "Do you have a translation book?"
"Yeah. That's the only reason why I passed Spanish." Richie chuckled a little to lighten the mood even though he was still freaked out a bit.

"Eddie, this will take a bit to translate," Richie said trying to help Eddie calm down even though he was freaking out himself. "Alright, Richie." He lets out a long sigh. "Where do you keep your pencils?" Eddie asks. "I don't have any." He shrugs. "What do you mean you don't have any?" Eddie asks once more.
"Yeah, I don't have any pencils."
"Why the fuck don't you have a pencil?"
"Hey don't judge me because I don't have any expensive pencils."
"It's less than a dollar for one!"
"So?"
Eddie facepalms. "You're a fucking idiot." He exclaims. "I know." Richie rolls his eyes.

"Just get the Spanish book with the translations and I'll find a pencil somewhere around here okay?" Eddie sighed trying not to blow up at Richie right now for being so incompetent. "Ok, Eds." He says as he took off to his room to go get the book. "Stop calling me that!" Eddie yelled up to Richie. "Never," Richie yells back.

(He's such a dork-) He thinks as he waits for Richie to come back. (Oh yeah I have to find the pencil and hopefully a piece of paper.) Eddie started to look for the paper around Richie's home with no luck in finding anything

"Oh my god Richie you don't have anything, do you? Like I've been looking for 10 minutes."
"I told you I didn't have a pencil."
"And you're a dumbass!"
"I know you have told me that many times."
He lets out a small chuckle.

"The fact I'm more stupid to you because I don't have a pencil but not because I've been cursed. Well, I cursed myself." Richie exclaims.
"Oh yeah. You're even more of a dumbass then!"
"Do I ever get a brake?"
"No." He said calmly as he continued to look for a pencil, pen, marker, anything at this point."you're not gonna find anything." Richie chuckles. "Shut up Richie." He spoke in an annoyed tone.
"Yeah, yeah. It's not like I've heard that one before."
"If you don't shut up I will slap you." Eddie gives Richie a death glare. "Ok got it-" Richie tried his hardest not to laugh at the situation.
Eddie looks under Richies TV stand and there lays a single red crayon and he pulls it out. "Oh, that's where that went. I thought I ate that when I was a kid." Eddie gives Richie a weird look after he says that. "What is wrong with you?" Eddie sighs and stands up. "Everything." Richie chuckles.

There was a sudden knock at the door. They look at each other with a look that says "Oh shit." Eddie pushed Richie into the kitchen. Nobody can see him like this. Eddie answers the door. It was just Beverly. Eddie lets out a sigh of relief. "Thank god." He says. "Oh, Eddie you're here. Your mom is looking for you." She says. "That's not my top priority right now," Eddie spoke in an exhausted tone. "Why's that?"
Eddie pulled her inside and closed the door. "What's going on Eddie, And where's Richie?" She asked sounding worried for him. "Too hard to explain I will just show you. Richie come here."
"No, fuck off I'm eating cookies," Richie shouts from the other room.
"Ugh." He groans grabs Beverly's arm and guides her to the kitchen where she could see in and see Richie standing there shoving cookies into his mouth as his wings shimmer in the light. "Holy shit dude-" she spoke as she saw Richie. "What the fuck happened?!" Her voice raises. "This dumb ass got himself cursed!"
"Fuck you it was your idea!" He snaps back at Eddie. Beverly stayed quiet as she stared at Richie in pure shock. Richie and Eddie continue to bicker like an old married couple.

________________________________

The three of them are now in the living room after explaining what happened to Beverly with snarky comments now and then as they explain. "Jesus Christ.." she replied after they finished speaking. "You guys are so stupid I swear to god." She leans back on the couch trying to process all of it. Richie continues to gobble down cookies. "Do you ever just stop for a second? This isn't the time to be eating." Eddie says very ticked off. "Fuck you," Richie said with his mouth full of cookies.
"Ew! Don't talk with your mouth full!" Eddie said in pure disgust. Richie opens his mouth and has his tongue hang out with mushed-up cookie on it. "that's nasty stop!" Eddie puts his hands over his eyes so he doesn't have to see them anymore. Richie couldn't help but laugh a little at Eddie's expression and words. Beverly finally speaks up. "How are you laughing at a time like this? Like how aren't you freaking out?"

"Well, we had our time to freak out fully yesterday," Eddie explains. "Yeah Eddie was crying and shit," Richie says. "No, I wasn't?" He snaps back. "Oh yeah, that was me," Richie says then shrugs.

"Oh jeez man.. this is a lot to process." She spoke once more. "It is. But last summer was hell so this isn't too bad. It's not like anyone di-"
Richie cut himself off before he finished up saying that realizing it wasn't true. Someone had died. "Heh- that's not true never mind someone died," Richie said as if it was normal at this point. "Who died Richie?!" Beverly shouts. "He killed Bowers," Eddie spoke for Richie. "You didn't.." she says.
"It's not what you think I promise!" Richie says frantically.
"Then what is it?" She shouts.
Richie mumbled something nobody could understand.
"What?" Beverly says.
"The demon or something took over my body and then made me kill him.." he spoke.
"What?! Did it take control of you? Richie this is way worse than I had thought." Beverly sounds very upset at him for being so careless for this to happen in the first place.
"I found a book at the library that might help but the description is in Spanish." Eddie buts in.
"How do you know it will help if you can't read it?"
"It has a prophecy in it and I am in it," Richie says.
"What." Beverly turns her eyes to Richie just in complete confusion.
"You know what I'm out," she spoke as she was fed up with their stupidity.
"What? You can't leave Bev." Eddie says.
"I'm not dealing with your goddamn stupidity you're fixing this yourself."
"It's not our fault we can't read Spanish!"
"shut up Richie."
Beverly opened and then slammed the front door, she was still inside.
"God damn it. Fine, how can I help you two idiots." Bev says annoyed.
