Chapter 7

 Lilly stayed with Billy at that point. She didn't want to even spend a second without him.

 They found some stuff and then headed back to the reception desk where they'd meet. They were all surprised when the books started to come off the shelves, a wind blow, the typewriter typing and the sprinklers raining down on them.

 "Oh, my god!" Richie gasped at the sights.

 "BEEP, BEEP, RICHIE!" a voice taunted him again with wicked laughter. Who other it be than IT masquerading as his favorite trap device, Pennywise the Dancing Clown? 

 "Do you see what I see?" Eddie asked, nearly scared to death.

 Lilly looked at Eddie and then followed his gaze. She blinked slowly her eyes widening.

 The type writer had finished writing whatever it had been made to type.

 Ben, helped Beverly and they stuck a little closer together. He looked towards eddie, having not seen what he saw at the moment.

 "This can't be real..." Bill murmured as he gripped the informational book he needed with the others. "It just can't be...." 

 "B-B-B-BELIEVE IT!" IT taunted, laughing wildly throughout the library.

 Richie was on the floor in a fetal position, shivering in cowardice and extreme fear.

 After helping Richie up, Lilly hugged Bill to her, also pulling the others into the hug. She didn't notice Ben taking the sheet from the typewriter. "Go away!" she yells towards IT.  She was mad, like the day when they had all been enjoying lunch.

 IT's laughter echoed through their minds. IT then suddenly disappeared and everything was normal again. They had to make this all stop though. Bill held Lilly close though, seeing as she was the most psychologically scarred than all of them. He soothed her and gently stroked her hair to settle her.

 Lilly clung to her husband. She was trembling quite violently when she had first been brought into the slightly closer hold of Bill. She slowly started to settle once the lights came back on.

 Richie, embarrassed of his act of scardiness looked around. He hoped they wouldn't call him up on it. "I think we should discuss this somewhere, anywhere else, for Lilly's sake" he says. He put a hand on Eddie's shoulder.

 Ben, after secretly checking Bev was alright, grabbed one of the boxes they had got together that they needed.

 Bill nodded and followed the others out of the library as they had collected everything they would need.

 "Let's move out." Mike proclaimed.

 "I-I'll be okay." Beverly said gently, smiling at Ben and followed the other adult Losers.

 Lilly stayed close to Bill. She wouldn't move far from him at all. That was 3 fears she had faced because of IT: scorpions, darkness -because she feared being blInd- and of course clowns.

 Richie was one of the first out there.

 Ben smiled and blushed a tiny bit as Beverly had caught him. He stuck close by her, his crush on her was still strong, he even could say he loved her but she was married so he had kept quiet.

 "Try not to think too much of your fears, convince yourself they aren't scary, that should drive IT away." Bill advised as he saw Lilly was still weary about facing their nearly life long fears together against their wills. 

 Beverly glanced back at Ben, with blush in her cheeks, but grew a serious face and kept her eyes forward.

 "We'll stay here a bit." Mike said as they came up to a hotel.

 Lilly looked at the hotel. She felt a tiny bit apprehensive but tried to ignore it. "Ok, baby..." she says softly.

 Ben went in with the others and they all chose rooms close to each other.

 Richie was kind if freaking out.

 Meanwhile Henry was visited by IT who convinced him to go and kill the Losers club. He thought it was one of his friends' ghosts wanting revenge.
