We all quickly run to where the neibolt house was located knowing bill was heading there
Could he be even more stupid? Had he not learnt this already from when we were younger
"Bill!" Bev shouted as we got there and saw bill about to enter
"Deja vu" I whisper
"I'm getting that too" Richie says back
"No guys no! I s-started all this it's my f-fault your all here this curse this fucking thing that's inside of you all" bill says "it started growing the day that I made you go down into the barrens because all I cared about was finding g-georgie.."
"Bill.." I start to say
"now I'm gonna go in there and I dont know what's gonna happen but I can't ask you to do this" he shakes his head
Bev bends down for grab a metal bar
"We're not asking you either"
"We didn't do it alone then bill" Mike tells him
"And we're certainly not doing that now because we are gonna survive like we did before Yeah? Well hopefully" I smile
"Yeah exactly what carla said" Eddie nods
"Losers stick together" ben says looking at us all
Then there's silence I look at them seeing if one of them is gonna say something
"So does somebody want to say something?.." Eddie adds
"Richie said it the best when we were here last"
"I did?..'I don't want to die'?" He says confused
"Not that"
"You're lucky we're not measuring dicks?" He says
I stifle a laugh my teenage years still being in me im laughing at stupid things like that
I put my head on mikes shoulder
"No?...let's kill this fucking clown" Richie says slowly
Bill smiles and richie knows its that one
"Lets kill this fucking clown" Richie says confidently
-
We slowly walked in as the door creaked and we shined our flashlights
"Well I love what he's done to the place" Richie says sarcastically
Me and mike walk closer to where he was and saw liquid going down the stairs
"Beep-beep Richie"
Richie,bill and eddie walk into the other room when ben starts to groan
I quickly turned around and saw him in pain looking over at mike and beverly we run over to him
"Ben shit what's wrong?" We asked him panicking already
The doors slam shut blocking them three from us "shit guys!" I yell
"Ben!" We hear bill yell
Blood seeps through bens shirt and mike lifts it up and guessing it is carving a word into bens stomach but we can't see the thing anywhere
First h is being carved
"What the fuck do we do!?" I yell again because being serious what the hell do we do
He leans onto the floor and we hold onto him carefully the word is being carved even more making ben in alot of pain
"It can't be it can't be!" Bev shouts remembering how pennywise plays mind tricks
'Home at last' is being fully carved onto his stomach
"Guys!" Mike shouts at me and bev and we look up to where he's pointing too
IT was looking at us directly through the cracked mirror standing behind ben carving the last bit then holding a glass shard up to bens neck slowly slicing
Ben shouts in pain again as bev gets up grabs the metal bar and smashes the mirror and we look to ben to see the carving gone
"The cunt he was playing mind tricks again!" Throwing my arms up in the air as we help ben get up
We give eachother a quick hug and then get up as we heard them all from the other room yell
The yells coming from Richie shouting "get it off me!"
Me and bev push into the door as it wouldn't open and finally got in mike and ben behind us
I run and grab the knife far from bill which he was yelling at eddie to grab who wouldn't move and stabbed the head that was trying to bite Richie
Repeatdly till it stopped moving completely the blood flowing slowly up the into the air bill then throws the head into the wall
"Is everybody okay?" Bev asks
As she grabs her jacket to wipe richies face
I look over at mike and he sends me a reassuringly smile i also do the same
Bill pushes eddie and we look over
"He could have fucking died man you know that right!? Georgies dead,the kids dead,Stanley's dead you want Richie too!?" Bill shouts
Mike walks over to them pulling bill back abit
"I don't want Richie too I don't please dont be mad bill" Eddie shakes"i was just scared"
"That's want he wants right? Don't give it to him"
-
We slowly walk down into the basement where the well was I grab mikes hand and he squeezes it I smile at him
"Alot of memories huh? All bad" ben says
We climb down the well to the hole in the sewers
I genuinely wanted to be sick "I forgot how disgusting this was" I say repulsed
"Tell me about it" Eddie replys
"Oh man grey water" richie says bringing back memories from when they were in the barrens
Still holding onto mikes hand as we carried on walking leading us to where the last time we met IT 27 years ago
"Shit this is it this it where it happend" ben tells us all
"Oh god" I shake my head
"We'll be good" Mike says to me trying to reassure me
"Hopefully" I say but not believing it
We jumped abit down and the water was now upto our chests
"No no no" Eddie mutters as something nears him but bev pushes it away with the bar
As everyone was starting to get up onto the floor ben stopped as I bumped into those back
"What?" I ask him
"Bev what is it?" He asks her motioning me to look too I turn around
"I thought I heard something" she says and turns back around as something popped up infront of her and she screamed
I scream too trying to grab bev but it pushed me away and grabbed onto bev "time to sink!" It yelled and went under
I pulled myself forward trying to quickly grab her again but it pulled me under aswell
"Bev! Carla!" I heard before I was engulfed with water panicking as it held onto me and bev
I felt pair of hands on me pulling me up and I grabbed onto them
"You guys okay?" Bill said
"I feel like crying!" Eddie shouted to us
"Same!" I yelled back wiping me eyes I opened them and bev was next to me
And she hugged me which I hugged her back
Why were me and her always nearly dying together
"Why are me and you always nearly dying together" She says breathless
"That's what I was thinking!" I laugh but then stop because we probably shouldn't be laughing right now
"Come on you two" Richie said and bill helped bev and mike helped me
"Mike where do we go from here?" He asked
