Summer 1989//A Reddie Fanfic

Chapter 9

He woke up in a puddle of his own blood and vomit. Where was he? It was dark, and barely and light was shining through. Eddie got up from the puddle and weakly crawled over to the wall and hugged his legs.

Richie didn't sleep. It was 8am when he approached Ben at his front porch and asked for help.

"I need your help, haystack!! Eddie is missing and I don't f*cking know where his dumb a** is-" Ben covered up Richie's mouth. "Watch it! My mom will hear you!" Ben rose his voice a little. "Sorry. Will you help me?" Richie asked as politely as he could, which surprised Ben. They both rode off on their bicycles.

Beverly was on her bike and saw Ben and Richie riding down the road on their bikes as well. She sped up to them, and gave a confused look to both of them. "Have you guys seen Eddie since last night?" They shook their head. Richie was too upset to speak, so Ben spoke for him. "No. That's why we're out here."

She thought for a second. Could Eddie be... in the sewers? "We need to check the sewers. Go get Bill and Stanley. I'll be waiting by the Neilbolt Street sign." She cycled down to her area. Ben went to get Bill and Richie went to get Stan.

Richie approached Stanley's house, and Stanley opened the door all dressed in his pajamas still. "What do you want, Richie? I'm kind of busy." "Doing what? Fantasizing about Eddie's mom? Because same." Richie joked, then becoming more sad about Eddie. He cleared his throat. "Speaking of Eddie, he's missing." Stanley shook his head. Oh dear god, he's probably in the sewers all decomposed. "I'll be out in a second." Stan said quickly, closing the door to change.

Everyone got together on Neilbolt Street except Mike, who had already left Derry. They all went inside and the horrid stench of dead children and rat droppings was filling the air. It made Richie's stomach uneasy.

Eddie sobbed, desperately wanting Mike. Wanting Beverly. Wanting Ben. But most importantly, wanting Richie Tozier. Pennywise slowly crept towards Eddie without his noticing, and picked him up by his arms. Eddie screamed and cried, but the clown didn't let go. Eddie managed to speak, "PUT ME DOWN YOU DUMB F*CKING CLOWN!!!" Before he knew it, 3 glowing lights hypnotized him. He was floating in mid-air.
