You can't have them

Return of pennywise

Everyone was hanging out at the motel and I decided to go for a walk, no reason really it was just pretty out today and I hadn't taken a walk in ages. I walk around exploring the streets of Derry. I see a little kid skateboarding by, he was doing a few tricks it was honestly impressive for someone his age to be so skilled on a skateboard. Eventually he falls down, and I run over to him. "Hey, you okay?" "Yeah, I'm okay. Thanks." "Mhm, that was pretty cool." "You mean the part where I fell?" I laugh. "No, the tricks you were doing. How'd you learn to do that?" "My brother." "Oh he must be cool then, huh?" "Yeah, he's actually not far behi-" "Harty, I told you to wait." I hear a familiar voice say from behind me. I turn around to see Cayden. God, not again. "This is my brother. Causen this is..." "Y/n, yeah we've met." Causen smiles. I roll my eyes. "Well I'll see you around Harry." "Yeah." "Leaving so soon?" "Yep, getting as far away from you as I possibly can before I catch your germs." "Germs?" Cayden laughs. "So, I take it you don't like my brother?" James asks. "Not even a little." "How come?" "He's a bully. I'd rather die than befriend a bully." "I'm not that bad." "Even so, anyone who hurts my brother has made my list. Said it once, now twice. Do I have to say it a million more?" "Maybe." I roll my eyes and walk off. Cayden chuckles.

I decided to explore the area while the others got some ice cream. I noticed some woods and decided to check it out. The barrens, my dad's have talked about this place. I smile to myself and explore a bit more. I notice a building across from the dirty lake, I don't know why but it gave me a really bad feeling. I go to turn back but hear something. A laugh? Not just any laugh though, a clowns laugh? I doubt that, what the heck would a silly clown be doing out here? I brush it off and turn back again but then I hear it again. I turn back toward the lake again, this time there's a bunch of balloons floating up, I could hardly see anything. The balloons disappear and I see a Clown floating in the water. It sits up and waves at me with a smile that makes my stomach turn. I feel something grab my leg and pull me into the water. I pull myself up but it pulls me back under.  After struggling for a bit I manage to get out of the water and run away from the lake. I stop next to the little river and catch my breath. I feel someone grab my shoulder and scream. "Woah, woah, woah! It's just me!" Austin says. I began to cry. I hated crying in front of others, I felt like it made me weak despite it being normal. But I couldn't hold it back, I am terrified. I have no idea what just happened but what I do know is that it scared the hell out of me. Austin hugs me tightly. The others share concerned looks. After I calmed down Austin and the others tried to get me to tell them what happened but I would budge, Lucas kept looking at me this weird way. Like maybe he knew what had happened?  But he didn't say anything. "Don't tell anyone, please? Not even our parents." I tell Austin as we make our way back to the motel. "I won't, I promise." He says. "you guys too...please?" "We won't." Michael says.

Caleb and the others hung out at the motel for a bit, Austin was still trying to get Y/n to talk about what happened but she kept changing the subject. After a while, everyone made their way back home. Caleb was knelt on the sidewalk in his front yard as he fixed his bike. "Caleb." A voice whispered. Caleb didn't hear it the first time and continued to work on his bike. This time it spoke louder. "Caleb." Caleb turned his head toward the whisper that was coming from his backyard. "Dad?" He asked. No answer. He sets his tools aside and stands up. "Mom?" "Come join us, Caleb." The voice whispers. "Who's back there?" Caleb asks as he slowly walks to the back yard. He grabs the metal shovel laying up against the house and continues to walk toward the voice. "Come join the circus Caleb." The voice spoke. "Alright, quit fucking around. Whoever's back there, come out." Caleb makes it to the backyard, there's no one insight. "In here." He heard a voice come from the well. "How the hell did you get in there?" Caleb walks over to the well and sets the shovel down against the well. "Hello?" He yells down the well. "We all float down here." The voice whispers again. "What?" "Join us Caleb." "You crazy? Get outta the-" A creepy woman that looked just like one he'd seen in a movie appears out of nowhere from in the well. Face to face with him and screams loudly. The woman grips his shoulders and tries to pull him in, he tries his best to hold onto the well. "Help! Help! Someone help!" He struggles to reach for the shovel as he tried not to fall into the well. He finally grabs it and hits the woman hard, sending her falling down the well. He quickly scoots the lid on top of the well and backs away from it. "What the hell was that?..."
