It began to rain once again, hiding the tears streaming down Richie's face.
"SARAH!?!?!"
He screamed over the thunder. He began to think harder than he ever had before.
Where could it have taken her?
He ran thru the slippery grass, soaking himself.
He went to the Loser's hideout.
That had to be where she was!
Though, he knew it wasn't gonna happen, in the back of his mind he was ready to turn a corner and see her smiling. But, of course, his heart dropped as he just saw a soggy wooden log, empty.
He went to sit down and rethink. As he sighed and put his hands over his red eyes, he noticed a piece of paper next to him. In very light and sloppy writing, was...
"LOSER #8 HELP"
He knew it had to be her. It had to be. There was no reason for it not to be. He then felt something bump his back.
He slowly turned around, to reveal a red balloon.
He gasped and sprang up.
Not again. He watched the balloon get closer and closer, until it almost touched his nose, and then,
POP
He flinched and moved back as his glasses fell to the floor.
He felt around until he found them.
He brushed them off with his shirt, until everything came back to focus.
A figure.
In the sewer.
His heart skipped a beat as he noticed the figure to be exactly like Sarah.
He began to run closer, until he realized. It could be a trap. This is what It wants.
It took all the strength inside him, but finally he got himself to not jump into her arms and squeeze her.
"S-Sarah?" She took a sharp breath in.
"Richie..." She said weakly
He broke into tears once again.
"Come here.... save me..." She said as she fell to the ground.
He felt his heart break as he stayed put. "Do you hate me Richie?"
"N-no! You know I don't Sarah!"
"Why do you hate me?!"
"You know that's a lie Sarah!" As Sarah screamed louder and louder, her skin slowly began to deteriorate, leaving bloody spots all over her agony filled body.
Richie fell back down onto the floor as he covered his eyes and ears.
"STOP IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SARAH PLEASE!"
He yelled as she screamed louder and louder.
His ears began to bleed as he screamed back, until nothing of the rain was heard, only the screams of the two children. But no one could hear them. It was like a bubble almost, that only Richie and the Loser's could hear.
Until, the screaming of Sarah stopped. All that was left was a voiceless Richie, and a dazed and loopy Sarah.
She looked around, confused, as her skin became more gray. She noticed most of the skin on her fingertips had fallen off, and now she had only bone. She touched her face as she twitched and went back to her demonic state.
Richie watched, utterly dumbfounded.
Sarah was staring at him hungrily. He stood up straight.
Sarah began to laugh at herself. Not a normal, little girl laugh, a terrifying, well......clown laugh.
"Beep beep.... beep beep beep.... beep beep..." She said to herself as she turned back around to the sewers.
Richie took a step forward.
She turned around again, but her face was not hers. See, somehow, she had gained the face of Pennywise.
Richie quickly began to run towards the exit as she raced after him, laughing maniacally.
"JESUS CHRIST!" He screamed as he made his way up the muddy hill, not stopping to turn around. As his view came clearer of the school, balloons started to appear all around him, circling him and forcing him to stop.
In black letters on each and every one was "FIND ME" He winced and flung his hands at the balloons until he had an area to run. Once he did, he skipped school, and booked it back home.
