WAR AND PEACE

( CHAPTER EIGHTEEN )

Once 6 of the losers were in a hole, the rope they came down in was suddenly pulled up.

"Grab it, grab grab- shit!" Eddie screamed.

They looked up(the ones on the entrance of the hole) screaming "Mike!" But the one that looked down at them wasn't their friend but Henry Bowers... who then was tackled.

The losers only heard the punches and grunts from the fight before Bowers fell down the well. They looked up again to find Mike breathing heavily "I'm ok"

Meanwhile, Stan tried to grab the one that was closed to him, even though he expected it to be Jennifer, when it was Ben. His hand lightly touched Ben's knee when he asked "Beverly?" before dissapearing their sight.

"Stan?" Asked the boy. Richie and Jen looked back and moved closer. "S-Stan?"

Then Bill, Eddie and Mike moved too. They went out the hole screaming "Stan! Stanley! Stan!"

They were running all together, probably grabbing hands and all, not daring to move from each other.

A scream echoed through the sewers.

Jennifer's heart skipped a beat. She covered her ears and closed her eyes tightly for a minute.

"STAN!" She screamed with teary eyes as she fell in the grey water.

"Shit!" Said Richie helping her stand up again before they started running still screaming their friend's name.

She ran for what she thought were miles when they ended up in a sort-of chamber.

"His flashlight!" Escaped Eddie's mouth, they turned and ran to grab it. And when they looked in front, they could only scream.

Stan laid in the ground, his body shaking and on top was something, sucking his face.

It looked up and smiled, showing it's bloody, sharp teeth before walking back, not looking away from the group of friends. It went to a sewer and dissapeared, then the clown picked his head and then went back, not appearing anymore.

The losers ran towards Stan, Jennifer leading.

She sat on her legs and wrapped her arms around Stan to make him seat. But he did it by himself screaming.

"YOU LEFT ME! YOU'RE NOT MY FRIENDS! YOU LEFT ME! YOU MADE ME GO INTO NEILBOLT!"

"No, Stan! We are your friends-!"

"We love you, Stan, we would never leave you, goddamn it!" Jennifer yelled, he continued to sob loudly, tears still streaming down his face.

"You-you... you love me?" He asked trying to calm down, but his heart was still beating two hundred per hour.

"Yes, Stan! We're you're friends, we'll never leave you!" they continued to say.

"D-do you... you-" Stan looked at them, but his vision was very blurry. 

"Whe-where's Bill?" Mike asked. They looked around, except for Stan, who still was in shock but staring at her trying to calm down. "Bill!"

"Bill...!" Sophia's voice went low as they walked through the sewers, she was tired, they all were, but she saw the one thing that made her fall completely apart in the exit of the tunnel.

Stan.
