Fear WILL Find You // IT // Bill Skarsgard

Chapter 30

Lyles POV.

Odette, Ivy, Denis, and I were running around the parlour as we cleaned up, wanting to leave as soon as we possibly could so we could all get ready for the Halloween party tonight. "So you four have rented out the big house on the edge of town for the night as yours isn't big enough?" I asked as I pointed to Odette and she nodded in response. "And right now Cody is finishing off the decorations" she smiled before picking up her mop bucket to clear it away, Denis and Ivy following behind her as I wiped over the last of the surfaces. Tonight was either going to be fun or a complete and utter disaster. I am unsure yet.

I walked up the last of the stairs to my apartment since the elevator has broken down once again. I opened the door, knowing it would be unlocked as Leon was in, before I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a can of juice from the fridge. "Did you frighten any kids today?" I turned to look at Leon as he sat on the soft eating a raw steak, awaiting his answer. He chewed the last of the bloody meat before beginning to nod "I really think this method is working". I grinned with satisfaction as those words escaped his lips. He feeds on fear so we came up with a method that would mean he didn't need to kill kids. Instead he just had to frighten them, feeding on the fear, then he could eat a raw streak to represent the human flesh.

I walked into my bathroom, letting Leon eat his steak in peace. I began to run the bath as I placed the black fluffy towel on the heater, a razor on the side of the bath tub, and my IPad on the other side of the room at the sink. I pressed the music app as I clicked on the Night & Day album by The Vamps as Middle of the Night began to blare. By now the bath was filled half way as I peeled off my clothes before climbing in. I lay in the water as I thought about the events that were still guaranteed to unfold during the course of the night. Odette, Cody, and Ivy have planned a large Halloween party which majority of the town are invited to, including Felix. Ah, a room full of frightful delights when I am with a man who feeds on fear, how FUN.

I ruffled my hair as let it hang loosely, the curls adding an element of class to my costume. I looked in the mirror as I pouted to make sure my deep red lipstick was perfectly applied, my eyes darkened with a black and silver smoky eye shadow, eyelashes coated in mascara and a long sharp black eyeliner wing making me look fierce rather than girly. I examined my skin to see it looked flawless with the natural foundation and contour. My eyebrows had been filled in but they didn't look like they had been, in fact, they had only been filled in to make them darker after the foundation had washed them out.

My hands travelled down my body as I fixed the pinstriped black and white bra with a white strapped and top edge. Thick black braces flowed over my shoulders where they crossed to connect to the high waist matching shorts, thick white edges going around the top of each of my thighs where the material stopped. I sat on my bed as I pulled the black suede platform heels onto my feet, the thick black crossed straps were tight around my ankles which made me know they would be completely secure for the rest of the night, especially since I will most likely run at one point.

I walked into the lounge after picking up the fake silver gun which matched with the costume. I looked around to see that Leon was gone, most likely putting on his costume. I turned on the music channel as The Scripts Breakeven began to play, causing me to sing. "What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you" I sang as I watched the music video, completely captivated by the tune. "I know I am the best part of you" I heard the deep voice contrast with the higher one on the TV as I turned to see Leon lean against the door frame, a smirk on his lips as he crossed his arms.

I looked him up and down as I felt a concoction of emotions, especially attraction. White soled black leather slip on shoes covered his feet, tight black and white pin striped trousers clung onto his legs, a white t-shirt tucked into the pair of trousers, a matching pinstriped suit jacket hanging open. The suit jacket made him look even broader than he already is, the stripes leading to his broad shoulders which lead to his thick neck, leading up to his beautiful face. He maintained a serious expression as his eyes looked dark before he began to smile, his perfect teeth and smile lines coming into show as he looked so sweet.
