Chapter 8

We all ran to the direction in which the shouting was coming from, we saw Henry and his friends kicking and beating up Mike. Without hesitation I grabbed a rock from the ground below me and threw it at Henry's head causing him to fall.
"Nice throw" Stan said
"Thanks" I replied
While Henry was trying to get up Mike quickly stumbled to us as we were on the other side of the stream.
We all picked up rocks preparing for what's to come,
"You losers are trying to hard, oh well if it isn't my favourite whore Mollie oh and Beverly Marsh, they'll do you, you know you just have to ask her nicely like I did" he smirked as he grabbed crotch.
Ben screamed in anger and threw a rock straight at Henry head causing him to step back a little, getting angry by the second.
"What the fuck?" Henry had a shocked but angry expression on his face.
Beverly then threw a rock, then all the rest of us joined in
"Come on, get em! Fuck!" Henry said in a demanding tone to his gang
"ROCK WAR!" Richie screamed as soon after a rock hit him in the head causing him to fall over.
"Holy shit Rich" I gasped, but I knew I had to carry on throwing rocks, we all starting throwing rocks at Henry's gang as they threw rocks back at us,
"Mollie watch out" Bill warned me, I ducked just in time before the rock Belch threw at me luckily missed my head,
"Thanks" I smiled, I then threw a rock at Belch's nose causing him to get a nose bleed
"Nice one Sis" Rich cheered
Eddie got in the water and repeatedly kept throwing rocks as one of his hits got Belch in the forehead.
"Come on guys get them" Eddie yelled,
"Fuck this" Vic said
"Fuck out of here" Belch said as both of them more injured than us started to run away
"Fuck you losers!" Vic shouted.
We were all out of breath after that crazy ordeal with Henry and his thugs.
Henry was still on the ground injured after the rock fight all the losers started to walk away except me and Richie,
"Go blow your dad, you mullet wearing asshole" he shouted as he flipped him off,
" high five" I said which he gladly did as we laughed at the ordeal we just faced.
We both catches up with rest of the losers.
"Thanks guys but you shouldn't have done that they'll be after you guys too now" Mike said
"Oh, no, no Bowers? He's always after us" Eddie replied
"I guess that's one t-t-thing we have in common" Bill said
"Yeah homeschool welcome to the Losers club" Richie smiled.

It was the 4th of July parade and we all walked through town to discuss what just happened
Richie was being his goofy and irritating self and was playing one of the band members tuba they use in the parade causing me to chuckle a little. We all looked at the wall to see another missing poster for a boy named Edward Corcoran.
"They say they found part of his hand all chewed up near the Standpipe" Stanley said in an anxious tone,
I looked at Bill with a worried expression which he gave the same expression back.
"He asked to borrow a pencil once" Ben said.
Bill flipped up the missing poster to show Betty Ripsom's missing poster underneath it,
"It's like she's been f-f-forgotten because Corcoran's missing" Bill sighed,
I looked in the Richie's direction to see Richie getting the Tuba snatched off him.
"Is it ever gonna end?" I asked
"What the fuck dude?" Richie complained at the tuba being snatched off him. Eddie then came back with two ice creams in his hand in which he handed to Richie,
"What are you guys talking about?" Eddie asked,
"What they always talk about" Richie responded sarcastically
"I actually think it will end for a little while at least " Ben said
"What do you mean?" Bev asked
Ben continued to explain,
"So I was going over all my Derry research and I charged out all the big events, the ironworks explosion in 1908, the Bradley Gang in '35 and the Black Spot in '62 and now kids being... I realised this stuff seems to happen-"
"Every 27 years" Bill and Ben both said in unison.

We all sat down on the grass near were the Paul Bunion statue and where the stage was as we all was still discussing what could possibly be happening, I sat next to Richie as our backs was facing the stage.
"Okay so let me get this straight, it comes out from whatever to eat kids for like a year? And then what? It just goes into Hibernation?"Eddie asked.
"Maybe it's like what do you call it? Cicadas, you know the bugs that come out once every 17 years" Stan explained,
"My grandfather thinks this town is cursed. He says that all the bad things that happen in this town are because of one thing, an evil thing that feeds off the people of Derry." Mike explained.
"But it can't be one thing we all saw something different" Stan said,
"Maybe or maybe it knows what scares us most and that's what we see" Mike suggests,
" I-I saw a leper, he was like a walking infection" Eddie explained,
"I saw hundreds of rats cover my room it felt like I couldn't escape" I started to get anxious, as I shown the bandaid on my leg where one of the Rats bit me which Bill noticed in which he gave me a nervous but comforting smile in which I returned,
"But you didn't, because it isn't real. None of this is, not Eddie's Leper, not the hundreds of rats Mollie saw, or Bill seeing Georgie, or the woman I keep seeing" Stan got more panicked as he mentioned what he saw,
"Was she hot?" Richie asked with a smirk on his face,
"No Richie, she's not hot" Stanley snapped, which made Richie's smirk fade quickly
"Her face is all messed up. None of this makes any sense they're all like bad dreams" Stanley continued,
"I don't think so. I know the difference between a bad dream and real life, okay?" Mike said
"What'd you see? You saw something, too?" Eddie asked
"Yes, do you guys know that burned down house on Harris Avenue?" We all nodded,
"I was inside when it burned down. Before I was rescued, my mom and dad were trapped in the next room over from me, they were pushing and pounding on the door. Trying to get to me,
But it was too hot. When the fireman finally found them, the skin on their hands had melted down to the bone. We're all afraid of something" Mike continued. What he told me left me shocked to how much he had gone through in his life,
"You got that right" Richie agreed
"Why, Rich? What are you afraid of?" Eddie asked, it was silent for s few seconds as we all looked at the stage,
Richie pushed up his glasses nervously,
"Clowns"
