The Demon's HUMAN Mate (A Bill Denbrough Love Story)

Chapter Four

Third POV 

"Yeah they found her hand all chewed up near the Standpipe." Stan announced as the Losers minus both Eddie and Richie were looking at the missing posters that were taped on to the wall. 

"He asked to borrow a pencil once." Ben said when he recognised who the missing boy  was.  Bill walked over to the missing posters and lifted it up to reveal Betty Ripsom's face. 

"It's l-like s-she's been f-forgotten because Corcoran's missing."  Beverly looked to the side to see Richie playing one of the ban members tuba while the owner was trying to get it back off of Richie who wasn't listening. 

"What the fuck dude?!" Richie shouted as the band member walked away proud that he had gotten his tuba back but pissed because some little kid touched his beloved tuba. 

"What are you guys talking about?" Eddie asked as Richie walked over and took one of Eddie's strawberry ice-creams that were in his hands. 

"What they always talk about." 

"I realised that this stuff only happens once every-" Ben started but he was cut off by Bill who had already finished his sentence. 

"27 years." 

"Ok so let me get this straight? It comes out wherever to eat kids for, like, a year?" Eddie uttered trying to process what he was just told. "And then what?Goes back into hibernation?" He asked. 

 "Maybe it's like what do you call them. Cicada's they only come out once every 17 years." Stan commented. 

"My grandfather thinks that this town is cursed." Mike said as everybody turned their attention towards him. "He says that all the bad things happen in this town and because of one thing...An evil thing that feeds off the people of Derry." 

"But it can't be one thing." 

"We all saw something different." 

Maybe. Or maybe it knows whats scares us the most and thats what we see." 

"I-I saw a leper. It's like a walking infection."

"But you didn't. Because it isn't real. None of this is. Not Eddie's leper or Bill seeing Georgie or the woman I keep seeing." 

"Is she hot?" Richie asked. 

"No, Richie" Stan said a little pissed. "She's not hot her face s all messed up." Stan said as he catched his breath. "None of this is real they're like bad dreams." 

"I don't think so I know the difference between a bad dream and real life okay?" Mike snapped back at Stan who's attention was now on Mike. 

"You saw something too?" Eddie asked while the others were wondering th same question. 

"Yes I was. Do you guys know that burned down house on Harris Avenue?" Mike asked some of the losers nodded while some shook their heads not knowing what Mike was talking about. "Well I was inside when it burned down. My mom and dad were trapped over in the room next to me. They were pounding on the door."

"Rich what are you afraid of?" Eddie asked while Richie turned around and saw what he feared most. 

"Clowns." He simply replied.

Bill POV 

Grabbing some blue tack I stuck a map of Derry onto the wall while Stan closed the garage door. Sitting down we all started to watch the projector. 

"Look that w-where Georgie disappeared." I stuttered. "See look everywhere IT happens it's always near a sewer and it leads to."

"The Well House." Ben said.
