Lost // r.t✔️

Chapter Eleven

When they arrived, they Saw Henry holding a rock above Mike's head, Henry on top of the boy. Mike was struggling until he gave up trying.

Sadie acted fast a picked up a rock and chucked it at Henry's head. The bully toppled over and Mike escaped very fast. He ran over to were the Losers were standing, all had rocks in their hands, ready to throw at Henry Bowers and the rest of his goons.

"Nice throw," Stanley told Sadie, she nodded in response. Sadie was waiting for the boys across the stream to say or do something.

"You losers are trying way too hard," Henry chuckled coldly, "She'll do you, ya just gotta ask nicely." He told them with a vicious smirk inching onto his lips. "Her." He pointed at Sadie. "I can tell she's ready for-"

Henry didn't even get to finish his sentence. Sadie threw the rock as hard as she could. He stumbled back, his once straight teeth were crooked and broken. Richie's lips tugged a smile as he watched Sadie take action. "That's my girl."

"What the fuck!?" Henry shouted in pain. Never did he imagine that a girl would break his teeth. Never in his life, did Henry Bowers think of a girl being able to stand up to him.

"Rock War!" Richie screamed out, a rock hitting him in the face. No one noticed. They were too busy kicking Henry Bowers' and his 'friends' asses. Richie got up quickly and began to throw the rocks.

One by one the bullies ran away. Leaving a scared Henry Bowers. Henry's face was covered in blood and his teeth were shattered. He looked at the Losers in shock, he never thought they would get the courage to stand up against him.

Everyone began walking away, but, Richie being Richie had to add more. "Go blow your dad you mullet wearing asshole!" Richie shouted, raising both of his middle fingers at the horrible kid that was still in shock from what just happened.

Richie caught up with the group.

"Thanks guys, but you really shouldn't have done that." Mike huffed out. "But now he'll be after you guy too."

Eddie chuckled, "Oh, Bowers? He's always been after us." Eddie said truthfully.

"I guess that's one t-t-thing we all have in c-c-common," Bill said, smiling at Mike. Mike smiling back.

"Yeah homeschool, welcome to the losers club." Richie joked and laughed. Sadie chuckled.

The Losers decided to go down to the parade. They dropped their bikes off in an alleyway to be far from the chaos. The sounds of an awfully played trumpet could be heard, Sadie turned around to see Richie had stolen one of the instruments off of one of the marching band players. Sadie shook her head.

The marching player was infuriated and snatched his trumpet away from Richie. "What the fuck dude?!" Richie yelled in his face. The marching band player ran to catch up with his other mates.

Richie walked over and rolled his eyes at the marching band player.

The group was looking at the M I S S I N G person poster. Betty Ripsom was replaced with a new poster, Edward Corcoran, he was only thirteen years old. "They say they found part of his hand chewed up near the standpipe."

"He asked to borrow a pencil once," Ben said, sadly.

"It's like she's been f-forgotten because Corcoran's missing," Bill said, sadly.

"Is it ever gonna end?" Stan asked, unsure.

"What are you guys talking about?" Eddie asked, with two ice cream cones in his hand, he gave one to Sadie and continued licking his own. Again, Richie being Richie, he stole Eddie's and sat next to Sadie, "Thanks, bubba." Richie said winking at Eddie. Eddie sighed.

"I actually think that it will end, for a little while at least," Ben said, like he was sure.

"What'd you mean?" Beverly asked, curiously.

"Last night, I was going through all of my Derry research and I began to chart all of the big events." He said, taking a pause to think. "The ironworks explosion in 1908, the Bradley gang in '35, and the black spot in '62 and now the kids being." Ben paused again and saw Bill's expression, he was afraid of making Bill very sad. "I realized that all of this stuff seems to happen every-"

Bill finished Ben's sentence, "Twenty seven years."

"Ok so let me get this straight. It comes out from wherever to eat kids for like a year? And then what? It just goes back to hibernation?" Eddie asked. The Losers have walked over to a new location to discuss even more.

"Maybe it's like, what'd you call it, cicadas? You know the bugs that come out once every seventeen years?" Stan tried putting his suggestion out there.

"My grandfather thinks that this town is cursed," Mik said, everyone's attention was glued onto Mike Hanlon. "He says that all the bag things that happen in this town are because of one thing. An evil thin. That feeds off of the people of Derry."

"But it can't be just one thing!" Stan sighed, "I mean c'mon! We all saw something different!"

"Maybe or maybe it knows what scares us most and that's what It makes us see." Mike put his suggestion out, also.

"I-I saw a leper," Eddie whispered his eyes widened at the memory, "It was like a walking infection." He gulped.

"But you didn't. Because it wasn't real! None of this is." Stan gulped and thought about what he was going to say next. "Not Eddie's leper or Bill seeing Georgie! Or the woman I keep seeing."

"Is she hot?" Richie bluntly asked. Sadie whacked him in the arm.

"No Richie, she's not hot." Stan snapped at Richie. Richie's face flushed red and he looked down very embarrassed. "Her face is all messed up. None of this makes any sense! They're like bad dreams."

"I don't think so, I know the difference between a bad dream and real life, alright?" Mike said.

"What'd you see?" Eddie asked, "You saw something too?"

"Yes," Mike answered. "You guys know that burnt house down on Harris Avenue? I was inside when it burnt down before I was rescued, my mom and dad were trapped in the room next to me. They were pushing and pounding on the door, trying to get me. But it was too hot. When the firemen finally found them, the skin on their hands had melted down to the bone." Mike sighed, Beverly patted Mike on the back, trying her best to comfort him, "We're all afraid of something." He finished.

"Got that right." Richie said looking back at the clowns and Sadie.

"So Rich, what are you afraid of then?" Eddie asked.

Richie fixed his glasses.

"Clowns." He only said one fear.
