Now here is where we get back into the actual scenes from the movie
"Richie he's going to get mad again," Avira whined, following Richie down the street on their bikes.
"He won't," Richie said, throwing a smile on his face as they dropped their bikes in Bill's driveway.
"You're really gonna lie to my face, huh Trashmouth?" Avira smirked, knocking on the garage door. "I'm the queen at seeing through lies."
Richie shrugged, and took a step closer to her, "Call it what you will, Avi. But I can see through you too."
She heard footsteps inside the garage and quickly said, "Will you stop flirting with me already? I don't really think you want a "demon" as a girlfriend."
"There's a first time for everything," Richie said as the door opened. "And who says I'm flirting; maybe I'm just talking to a girl I find attractive."
"W-why are you here?" Bill said from the open door, squinting from the bright light.
"I can help you." Avira spoke up, taking a step into the dark garage, ignoring the looks she was receiving from the other kids. "I know where IT is hiding. There are things I can tell you."
"We don't n-n-need your help." Bill muttered, returning back to the map that was pinned against a wall.
"I know Pennywise better than you do and I know my way around Derry really well." Avira looked around at everyone, her face partially hidden in the shadows. "I get that you hate me; but if you actually want a chance to get rid of IT I can help you. I don't give a shit about the consequences."
Bill looked down and turned his back as Beverly mumbled something that Avira barely managed to catch: "We need her help Bill; this thing will kill us without her help."
Avira shifted on her feet, her eyes landing on the cement floor. Her craving for blood was returning and she had to bite down on her lip hard to keep herself from shifting. Richie noticed her discomfort and placed a hand on her shoulder.
But just the feeling was enough to trigger her. Avira let out a hiss and back away from Richie, shutting her eyes tightly.
"No, no, no, no, no." Avira mumbled, her breathing becoming heavy as she shifted.
Eddie jumped up and stepped back, his eyes meeting Avira's. The room went deadly quiet as Avira slowly backed away and walked into the sunlight.
"H-hold on." Avira managed to say as she shut her eyes, the sunlight making the lines across her face brighter and bolder. The lines slowly began to fade and her fangs disappeared as she shifted back to human and nearly fell into Richie's arms.
"W-what was that?" Stan asked nervously.
She sat down on one of the chairs and rubbed her eyes. "I may have had a... um craving."
"For?"
"U-um," Avira dropped her voice to just above a whisper, "blood and fear."
"I thought you were a demon, not a vampire." Richie teased, earning an eye roll from Avira; a smile tugged at the corner of her lips.
"You're not going to kill us, right?" Ben asked, the slight scent if fear filled the air.
"No, no." Avira shook her head, "That... craving just happens sometimes; usually I can control myself."
Beverly stood up and walked forward, gently wrapping her arms around her friend in a hug. Avira couldn't help but smile and hugs back.
"Thanks for the help Avi." Bev said softly as she pulled out of the hug.
"Yeah, thanks Avira." Ben said, a slight smile on his face.
Avira turned to Bill and Eddie, who still looked quite mad. "Can you shapeshift?" Eddie asked nervously.
"What?"
"Shapeshift into a person's fear." Eddie explained.
Avira shook her head and everyone let out the breath they had been holding.
"D-d-did you kill that b-boy?" Bill asked quietly.
"Yes. Not because I wanted to though. I kinda had no choice." Avira looked back at Richie who nodded, understanding what she meant.
"Have y-you seen my brother, G-Georgie?" Bill asked, his voice dropping to a softer tone.
She shook her head again, "No. I'm sorry."
Bill nodded slightly before raising his head and flipping on the projector. He slipped in the chip and the images began to flip.
Avira smiled slightly and stood next to Richie, who slowly reached down to intertwine their fingers as they looked at the screen.
The smile on Avira's face began to fade as the images began to flip by themselves, faster and faster.
