Richie and Harlow took their bikes from the stand. Harlow was'nt trying to make any eye contact. Until she heard a crow yell. She looked around, scared and shaken. "Hey Woody." She heard Richie call. She snapped back from her trance and looked over at Richie.

"You going to the arcade today?" He asks as he got onto his bike. "No. I need to help my mom with some stuff back home. By now i feel like shes in the couch, sleeping through a terrible hang over. Harlow explained as she brushes her hair off her face. Richie nodded. "So your going home?" Harlow looked at Richie with a dumbfounded expression.

"Just kidding. Come on Woody, Im coming with you to your house!" He said as he pulled her bag. She grunted and turned around. "What?" "Well, i mean drop you off." She rolled her eyes and punched his arm. "Shut up trashmouth."

Its a normal thing for them to drop eachother at their houses, or bike together home. They have been doing it since middle school, Harlow just got a bit more annoyed by him ever since they went to junior year, and when hormones started kicking in.

Richie started pedaling while Harlow walked next tobher bike. Richie circled around Harlow while telling her the small explosion that happened in his chemistry class, because he accidentally put the wrong acid in. Harlow laughed as Richie explained.

"And for some reason when i put the chemical into the container boogsh smoke goes everywhere and Eddie strted coughing uncontrollably" Richie laughed, and Harlow chuckled at his explosion. As they reached Harlow's home, they both heard crashing in the house. Harlow sighs and tensed up. "My mom is drunk.."

She whispered.

Mike Hanlon biked to town, to deliver some meats to the shop Quality Meats. As he put his bike on the post and about to get the meat from his basket on his bike, he saw Bowers and his gang in one of the cars driving by. "Shit" He hid in the nearest alley and tried to hide from Bowers.

After bowers car drove away, Mike stood up and sighed heavily. He quickly put his bike near the back door of Quality Meats. As he took the packed meat, he heard the door's lock clanging. He looked over and then a huge thud came and mike flinched. He stared at the door intently.

Suddenly he saw smoke coming out of the door. And then he saw hands trying to escape, screeching, shouting, and wailing came from inside, and heard his father shout, "Hurry Son!" And another voice say, "Help! It burns!" He can see the fire from inside, getting bigger and bigger.

Mike didn't know what to do. He stood there, his hands up to his waist, not knowing what to do. His hands trembled.
"Mike!" Someone shouts then all the hands retracted and the smoke and fire disappears. Then the door opens roughly and what was shown was a cell, and.. Something inside, orange pointy hair, and suddenly its eyes glows orange.

Then Mike heard a car engine, and suddenly he moved back and Henry's car almost drives into Mike. Making mike fly and trip. Bowers peeked out the top part of the car and shouted "Stay the fuck outta my town!" Then drove away. Mike then heard the lock clanging from the door, and appeared the butcher. "Mike?"

Mike was next to the trash and trash can, panting heavily. "Are you okay?" The man asks. He stared at him, scared and expressionless. Hopeless.

(I apologize for this part, i dont know that much abt jewish stuff, so ill try and write the part where Stan states the words in the torah.)

"Ve'et imekha, itavhehka, Kab.." Stan said lousily, practiced his lines, then his father, "Ve'et imekha itavhehka!" (again, i apologoze, AGHH) He shouted. "You're not studying, Stanley. How is it going to look?" His dad questioned in an itritated, but such calm tone. Stan kept his head low. "The Rabbi's son, cant finish his own Torah reading."

"Take the book to my office, obviously your not using it" Stan closes the book and carried it up to his father's office. As he walked into his father's office, he covered the left side of his face, avoiding the portrait of a lady. He finally gained the courage to try and look at the painting.

He took notice that the painting was slanted a bit to the right. He then fixed the frame. After looking at the painting of the lady, he walked over to the dark part of yhe room, where his father puts his books. As he puts the torah back to the shelf, he then heard a thud.

He looked back at the picture, and the frame suddenly fell over. His breath was shaking and he slowly walked over and took the frame. He put the frame back and he noticed that the woman in the painting was gone.

The room was dim, the only light was illuminated by the colored glass window on the top of his fathers desk, carved into a jewish sign, pointed in the middle of the room, making the sides of the room dark, super. Duper. Dark. Stan slowly turned around to the shadowy part of the room. He didn't see anything until he heard a thud behind him. He flinched and slowly turned around.

He suddenly saw the womans elongated face, with white eyes, staring at him, emerging from the dark. The woman smirked, showing its disgusting sharp teeth. He heard the shrill scream and maniac laugh of the woman. His eyes widened and he ran out of his father's office, as fast as he could.

Richie started finding stuff in Eddie's snack cabinets. Richie and Harlow quickly went to Eddie's house where Richie agreed to meet Eddie and Bill there, but came with Harlow as she's scared to get on her mom's bad side while she's drunk. "Take anything but the Delicious deals, my mom loves them" Eddie reminded Richie as he started stuffing a bag up with food.

"Hey, first you said the Barrens, now you're saying the sewers. What if we get caught?" Eddie asked Bill. "Either way, I really dont want to go either of them. Theres something about the sewers or the Barrens that gives me tingles on my back, and i keep hearing crows." Harlow explained as she sat on the counter, near the sink.

"We wont Ed, and the s-sewers are public w-w-works. We're t-the public, arent we? And crows? Theres not that m-m-much crows in d-de-derry.. You'll b-b... Be fine H-Harlow."

"Well looks like Richie Tozier is needed, your mom did say to help you if you get in trouble or hurt." Richie stated as he stuffed the bag with more snacks then went to the closet near Harlow. "That was ages ago, dickwad."
"Your mom still said so, dipshit. "
He pouted his lip at Harlow and chuckled. Harlow tried to kick him with her boots, but he quickly dogged it.

Richie opened the cabinet and smirked. "Hey Eddie, are these your birth control pills?" He chuckled at Eddie. "Yeah, and I'm saving it for your sister, This is Private Stuff!!" Eddie shouted lowly as he closed the cabinet.
