The finally got the door open. Richie flew out and landed on top of me. I landed on my back and he landed on top of me, using his arms to hold himself up. There was about an inch of space between our bodies. His nose just barely touched mine.

"Guys- can you not! We need to get out of here!" Billy grabbed my hand and pulled my to my feet. The mattress a couple feet away from us started shaking uncontrollably. Eddies head popped out, him looking like a zombie.

"You guys wanna play loogie?" He started shaking uncontrollably, black ooze poured from his mouth and came out from underneath the mattress. His head jerked back inside the mattress.

We tripped over each other as we turned around to face the door, only there were three doors, labeled;
•not scary at all
•scary
•very scary

It was written in blood as the blood dripped upward. "You'll float too..." I whispered. We all glanced at the Not scary door. I lept for the door, swinging it open.

"Where's my shoe?" Betty's whisper could be heard. It was pitch black. Bill reached past me and switched the light on, revealing Betty, chained to the ceiling with nothing from the hips down.

I screamed, turning around 360 and slamming the door shut. "Where the fuck were her legs?!" Richie screamed. We turned around the see the steaming black ooze get closer to us. "Holy shit what the fuck was that?!" Richie continued screaming, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me. I grabbed his shirt collar, forcing him to stop screaming.

"This isn't real! None of this is real!" Bill grabbed his shoulders and turned Richie around to force them to look at each other. "Remember the missing kid poster?! That wasn't real. So this isn't real!"

"But its real enough to cause physical pain!" I shouted at him.

Bill moved in front of us, holding his hand back as me and Richie ducked behind him. "You guys ready?" He glanced at the not scary at all door again.

"No!" We both screamed at the same time. He reached forward, swinging the door open again. It was the hallway this time, and we could hear Eddie crying and choking on trauma through the floor. He was downstairs.

"Oh thank fuck!" Me and Richie managed to say at the same time. We ran down the hallway, I was in front. We went down the stairs, and through a doorway to find the kitchen. I burst in first, where Pennywise, in FULL body, was traumatizing Eddie. He snapped around to face us.

"This isn't real enough for you Billy?! I'm not real enough?! I was real enough for Georgie and- you, Brook!!" He said maniacally. He suddenly jumped up, forcing a hand around my neck And choking me. He held me up into the air. He continued laughing his twisted laugh.

Beverly came in from the side and stabbed a metal pole through his head, forcing him to drop me. I fell to the ground as she let go of the pole, Richie knelt by my side. I grabbed my own neck and forced myself to take deep breaths. He picked me up by my shoulders and forced me to stand. We watched as the clown stood there shocked, blood floating from where the pole had impaled him. Mike and Ben crept around the corner into the room.

Pennywise started wailing, the blood kept floating. "We all float down here..." I whispered, breathing heavily. "Eddie!" I snapped out of my daze. "Get Eddie!!" We all rushed over to Eddie, kneeling by him.

Everyone was screaming and crying and wailing. Pennywise slowly turned around, revealing a messed up face. He leapt at us, sending fright up our spines. I held onto the back of Richie's shirt, whimpering as he held eddies face in his hands.

It's mouth was ripping and extending up the side of its face. It growled, laughing twistedly. It whipped around, slashing a clawed hand across Ben's stomach. Ben lost balance and fell backwards into Mikes embrace.
