SLUT•STANLEY URIS [DISCONTINUED]

[14] NIGHTMARES AND BROWNIES

"Izzy? If you come with you'll float too." Archie sneered to her. She stood in shock. He wasn't missing he was right in front of her the entire time.

"Archie?" She asked out. She stood looking for the boy.

"It's your fault you let this happen." He said walking towards her raising his voice. She backed away but was backed into the wall. She couldn't tell where she was but it looked like the sewers of Derry.

"I didn't know I'm sorry." She said but Archie then morphed into Georgie. Except he looked paler than usual and his arm was just a stump. In his remaining hand he had a boat.

"Izzy? Don't you want to come play with me and pennywise?" Georgie's innocent voice said.

"What the hell is going on?" She asked herself. But then Georgie ran away.

"Georgie! Wait!" She said chasing after him she had lost him once and didn't prefer it to happen twice. If she did Bill wouldn't forgive fuck it she wouldn't forgive herself again.

Georgie was In front of the storm drain.

"Come on Izzy. Come play you didn't want to play last time but please. Pennywise wants to meet you." Georgie said.

"I can come play with you but whose Pennywise?" She asked. Georgie's face turned to anger.

"He wants to meet you and feed of you fear and devour you." He said.

" Georgie your scaring me." Izzy said as she slowly back up. She hit someone when she backed up she turned around it was Archie.

His eyes were sunken in and there was a chunk of skin missing from his neck. Blood all over his clothes and bruises all over him.

"Arch? Are you dead? Are you both dead." She asked walking away from them but they both walked towards her.

"We're floating now Izzy. Come find us. Come float." They said getting closer. She realized what was happening this wasn't reality this was a nightmare.

"No! Fuck that! I don't want to float. Leave me alone you zombie wanna freaks." She said as she tried to run but the only thing she saw was a clown with razor sharp teeth.

"Come on Izzy time to float." He said sinisterly.

"Fuck you." She said pushing him back. Then when he tried to grab her Izzy woke up.

"Holy shit." She muttered as she woke up In a cold sweat. She looked over at the alarm clock on her nightstand. 10:43 AM. Stan was suppose to pick her up at 11 so they could go to the barrens.

She shot out of bed and threw on a pair of shorts and a white t-shirt that laced up in the front. Then grabbed her signature high tops. She threw the stuff she knew she would need at the barrens into her backpack. Then finished getting ready. She tied her long brown hair into a low ponytail letting her bangs hang out.

"Oh! Izzy dear! Take this to the Wilders won't you? It's just terrible. Archie's disappearance. It's been months. I know how close the two of you were when you dated. But I suppose that since he's missing you've just had to move on." Izzy's mother said as she walked into the kitchen handing her a plate of brownies. She didn't know that Izzy had been dating Stan since last February. Which made the two an item for over a year.

Izzy grabbed an apple and started to eat it on her way to get her bike from the garage. She got it and placed her bag at the bottom on the basket and put the plate of brownies on top of her bag.

"Hey You." She greeted Stan as he pulled up in front of her house. She walked her bike to the end of the drive way. Kissing Stan gently on the lips before getting on her bike.

"Are you okay?" Stan asked his girlfriend. She nodded.

"Yes it's just been a weird Day so far and We have to stop at the Wilder's house my mom want me to drop off brownies." She said. As the two of them started to bike in the street.

"Lovely." Stan said rolling his eyes. Izzy laughed.

After a while the duo ended up at the Wilder's house.

"Don't worry I'll be back in a minute or two." She said to her boyfriend who had a uneasy look on his face.

She went and knocked on the door after a while Archie's mother answered.

"Oh hello Izzy dear!" She said. Izzy smiled Archie's mom was always a nice woman and whenever she was over when her and Archie were dating she always was baking some sort of good.

"Hi. Mrs. Wilder. My mom wanted me to bring these over. They aren't as good as yours but I guess it's my moms thought that counts." She said handing the plate to the woman.

"Thank you sweetheart I'll have Archie-." The woman stopped short after she mentioned her son who had been missing for months. Izzy felt the need to say something.

"Archie's a smart boy I'm pretty sure that whatever happened he's okay somehow." Izzy said thought she didn't mean it mostly. Archie had been missing for so long she knew that his chances of coming back were slim to none.

"Thank you honey I know you two were close." Mrs. Wilder said. "I'll make sure my husband gives this back to your mother." Izzy nodded then walked off the porch. Stan sat there on his bike giving Izzy a sympathetic look.

"Don't give my that look. I know what I did but I couldn't tell her the truth that he was an impulsive douche bag." Izzy said as she got on her bike.

"Why not?" Stan asked.
