Chapter Fifteen

"Look, you don't have to come in with me, but what happens when another Georgie goes missing, or another Betty or another Ed Corcoran or one of us? Are you just going to pretend it didn't happen like everyone else in this town? Because I can't. I go home and all I see is that Georgie isn't there, his clothes, his toys, his stupid stuffed animals but he isn't. So walking into this house for me, it's easier than walking into my own." Bill was stating the known facts.

"Holy shit-" Richi said amazed. "What?"

"He didn't stutter once." Bill began to walk to the front door of the abandoned house, Richie following him and of course, Sadie Tyler was right on his tail. "Wait!" Stanley yelled, "Um, Shouldn't we have people keep watch? You know, just in case something bad happens?" Bill was about to twist the doorknob. Stanley looked around, "W-Who wants to stay out h-here?" Bill asked, his hand impatiently waiting on the doorknob. Everybody besides Sadie and Beverly raised their hands. Sadie scoffed, "You guys are ridiculous." Richie lowered his hand in embarrassment, "Fuck." He muttered in disbelief.

They decided to pick sticks up and whoever had the shortest three went inside. Bill was going in no matter what. The three who picked the three shortest sticks were Richie, Eddie, and Mike. Sadie's heart pounded in her chest when she saw Bill open the door, the horrid creak it made. Richie waved to Sadie as the door shut.

Not even thirty minutes in the house of horror, screaming could be heard inside. Sadie booked in inside, grabbing a metal pipe from the front lawn. She busted through the door. The inside was horrible, it smelled like death.

"Richie?" She called out. "Eddie?" She squeaked, holding the metal pipe close. "Sadie?" She heard Richie's sweet angelic voice, "Richie," She sighed out in relief as she saw his figure standing in the doorway. When she got closer she began to slow down. His eyes were different, they weren't that warm bright brown, instead, it was filled with a black void of emptiness. No emotion.

"Come, float with us, Sadie. We all float down here." He whispered holding his lanky hand out.

"You're not Richie!" She yelled, holding the pipe over her head and smashing it over 'Richie's' head. The Imposter began to seize, a black tar exiting It's mouth. Her bottom lip quivered as a clown ripped out of the body. "How sweet, she knows her lover's looks." He giggled maniacally, slipping away. Sadie followed where he slipped away, Eddie was gasping on the kitchen floor.

The same clown trying to bite his hand off. I screamed, the metal pole I had before, going straight through the clown's eye. He hissed in pain, flailing around. I saw Bill and Richie in the doorway. Ben, Stan, and Beverly in the other doorway. "Holy fuck," Richie took in a sharp breath. The metal pipe cut into Ben's stomach and then It whipped his head around and scrapped Sadie's cheek. She squeaked in pain, her pigtails were a mess, dirt was smudged all over her face and body.

"This isn't real enough for you Billy? I'm not real enough for you?" It said in a shrilled voice, "It was real enough for Georgie." The clown laughed. Sadie glared at the clown, "I'm not afraid of you!" She yelled. The clown shrieked and fled back into the dark hallway, Richie and Sadie rushed to Eddie's side, aiding him. Eddie was in shock.

They were now outside, walking down the street. "You! You did this!" Eddie's mother held onto Eddie for dear life, "You know how delicate he is-"

"Auntie, we're sorry-" "We were attacked, M-Mrs.K-"

"I don't want to hear it, Sadie! Get your ass home, now! Don't try and blame anybody else." She dropped her keys, They saw Eddie, crying in the car. Beverly bent over and attempted t pick them up, "Get back!" Mrs.K yelled, she picked her keys up herself. "Oh, I've heard of you, Miss Marsh." She spat, "And I don't want a dirty girl like you touching my son."

"Mrs-"

"No! You are all monsters. All of you!" She pointed at the group of kids. "And Eddie is done with you. Do you hear? Done!" She got into her car and the group of kids walked into the road, they watched the car speed away.

Bill turned around, "I saw the well, W-W-We know where It is and n-n-next time w-w-we'll be better prepared."

"No! No next time, Bill. You're insane." Stanley screamed in Bill's face. Sadie had a blankless expression on her face. "Why?" Beverly asked. "We all know no one else is going to do anything."

Richie clenched his fist, "Eddie was nearly killed! And look at this motherfucker, he's leaking Hamburger Helper!" Richie kept pointing at Ben. Beverly then said calmly, "We can't pretend it's gonna go away. Ben, you said it yourself, It comes back every twenty-seven years. I thought you wanted to get out of this town anyway." "I want to run away for something, not from something."

"I'm sorry, who invited Molly Ringwald into the group?" Richie grabbed ahold of Sadie's hand she pulled away, This pissed him off even more, "Let's face the facts, The real world. Georgie is dead. Stop trying to get us killed too." Richie attempted to rush past Bill but Bill shoved him back, "Georgie is not dead!"

"You couldn't save him but you can still save yourself."

"N-N-No, take it back! You're scared and we all are, but take it back!" Bill choked out a small sob. Bill shoved Richie back again, Richie shoved Bill and then Bill full on swung at Richie causing him to fall back. Stan and Sadie knelt down to Richie's side trying to pick him back up. Sadie looked at Bill, actually, she glared at him, "I am so sick of you bossing us around. Georgie is dead! Get over yourself, Bill! You just can't bear to be the only child." She yelled. Richie got up. "You're just a bunch of losers!"

"Richie stop!" "Fuck off!" They held Richie back. "You're just a bunch of losers and you'll get yourself killed, trying to kill a fucking clown!" "Stop!" Beverly yelled. "This is what It wants. It wants to divide us. We were all together when we hurt It. That's why we're still alive." "Yeah? Well, I plan to keep it that way."

"Shove it, Molly Ringwald." Sadie sneered, she grabbed Richie's hand, "Have fun getting yourself killed, assholes." Richie watched in amusement. Both of them walking off hand in hand.
