Henry Bowers X Beverly Marsh

The projector

Bev's POV

I woke up coughing up water. I heard sighs of relief and Richie screaming "She's alive!" as if I was the Frankenstien monster.

"knock it off Richie this isn't funny. She almost died." Stan said. I opened my eyes and saw all the boys kneeling and standing over me.

"A-a-are yuh-yuh-you okay?"Bill asked. My throat hurt too much to talk so I just nodded. "W-w-we have t-to go get o-o-our sssss-ssss-stuff, c-can you walk?" he asked and i shrugged my shoulders. Bill stuck out his hand and I grabbed it. I tried to stand but ended up falling right back down onto my a**. I shook my head in response to his question. "M-mi-ike, can you c-c-c-c-carry her?" Mike walked up to me and picked me up bridal style.

"Yea. She's so light I think Eddie could pick her up." He said. I wasn't really sure whether to take that as a compliment or an insult, everyone but Eddie and i laughed. We walked up the cliff in silence to our stuff. Nobody said anything but we were all wondering the same thing. What are we going to do if Henry is still there?
"Down." I said in a raspy voice. Mike looked at me like I was crazy and actually gripped me a little tighter. He gently set me down and I used the edge of the cliff to walk past the shocked boys and to the front of the group. If Henry was still there he would have to go through me to get to my friends. We got to the top of the stairs and I gasped. Henry was sitting on a rock waiting for us.
"Well hello there Bevie. Enjoy your swim?" He said with an evil grin on his face that made my heart race.... out of fear? I took a step back and remembered that the boys were behind me. "Whats wrong Bevie? You dont wanna go for another swim?" He asked. I glared at him and imagined punching him in the nose. And thats exactly what I did, i walked up to him and punched him in the nose. It didnt break or anything I only punched him hard enough to make him feel pain not break his nose. He cried out from shock and pain.

He looked up at me and gave me a wicked sneer that sent shivers up my spine."I think its time for another swim." He said. My eyes widened with fear., i wanted to run away before going back into the water. Belch and Patrick both kept the losers club from coming near me, so I couldnt be saved in time if I actually did go into the water. I started to run but Henry grabbed my arm and went to shove me over the cliffside but I grabbed his arm as tight as I could and pulled him with me. He flung his knife out of his pocket and onto the cliff faster then lightning. As we fell I held onto him as tight as I could, my arms around his chest. It seemed like we were falling in slow motion, his hand was on my head but i couldnt tell if it was to hold onto me or push me off of him. We hit the water and I held onto him even tighter. My eyes were closed tight and my head was on his shoulder. I was so concentrating on holding on I almost didnt notice his hand on the back of my head making sure I was still there. He swam to shore and let go of me like nothing happened.
"You stupid b***h. You pulled me into the f**king water!" Henry yelled. I was too busy catching my breath that I didnt see his foot coming straight at me. His foot connected with my stomach and I fell onto my side and closed my eyes imagining that I was somewhere else so the pain wouldnt be as bad. I dont know if he only kicked me once or more then that but either way it didnt matter. I looked up to the top of the cliff and nobody was watching us, they were to busy in their own fight.
" They're not watching, you know." I said wondering if he'd act differently again.
"So what? You think you're special? Well you're wrong, you're gonna get treated just like the rest of the losers." He said in a sneering voice. But, something flashed in his eyes. What was it? Obsession? Caring? Protectinveness? It was to fast and I couldnt be sure. He quickly stormed off and up the stairs. I just sat on the ground against the edge of the cliff catching my breath. I heard running down the stairs and I looked up with hope of seeing the boys but I wasnt that lucky. It was a clown, in a silver costume. He had red stripes on each side of his face going over his eyes like scars and leading to his mouth. I started screaming bloody murder knowing this wasnt a good kind of clown.
"Well hello there Bevie. Do you want a ballon? They float. All your friends from the drain are here, we all float here." He said while I was screaming. He started walking towards me and his jaw unhinged like a snake and he grew several rows of long razor sharp teeth. Something splashed into the water behind me and started swimming to shore. Whoever it was wouldnt make it, I was going to die here. The clown came running at me with the intent to kill but a rock went flying by my face and hit the clown in the neck. I turned around to see who had come to help me and I was shocked to see that it was Henry. I turned back around to see if the clown was hurt but he was gone. I pessed my back harder against the wall and brought my knees to my chest and cried. The losers club came running down the steps.
"W-w-was that p-p-p-" Bill started and I nodded sniffling.
"Boy, that clown really has it in for you Bev. First the blood now this," Richie said and I cried harder.
"What and who was that?" Henry said in a neutral tone.
"None of your buisness Bower's now get out of here before you make this worse." Mike said
"You listen here you stupid little n****r. You cant tell me what to do. And the only reason I saved little Bevvie here is because that clown was gonna give her a nice quick death when she deserves to suffer." He said. I could hear the smile in his voice as it started form. Henry left without another word.
Someone put a hand on my sholder and I looked up to see Ben. Ben looked at Mike who nodded and walked towards me and picked me up again. We went up the stairs, got ready and went to get our bikes. Everyone but Bill got onto their bike, while he was starting at the ground.
"Whats on yuh mind Govenor aye wot wot?" Richie said in a terrible attempt of a British accent.
"W-w-we need to k-k-k-ill th-at ssssstupid clown bef-f-fore he kills another k-k-k-kid." Bill said. I nodded.
"No way! We're just kids ! We sould be playing outside all day and not be having a care in the world because it's summer." Eddie said.
"I think Bill is right on this one. Besides if we dont kill him then he's going to keep going after Bev." Richie said. Eddie seemed to process this for a second. He looked at me and then at the ground.
"Yea. Alright fine." Eddie said. Stan looked at us all with fear evident on his face.
"Dont get me wrong Bev, i dont want something to happen to you. But I also dont want to die." Stan said looking at the ground.
"Well, l-let's go to m-m-m-my house so we can at least maybe c-c-come up with a plan." Bill said. Stan nodded at this thinking it would be safe and everything would be okay... we all did. Boy were we wrong.

We got to Bills house and he opened the garage for us all,to go inside. "Muh-muh-muh-my Parents aren't h-home today ssss-ssso we should buh-buh-be fine" Bill said. He went inside to grab a few things after telling us to wait here. He came back with a little projector and a map he tacked the map to the wall and hooked up the projector turning it on.
Richie looked at the paper map on the walland said "This, is a map of the sewers right now." He started. "And this" he said turning the projector to a slide that had a few red lines. "Was the sewers and pipes a long tims ago." "Everywhere It happened is connected by the drains and sewers." Ben said.
"They overlap" Eddie said fear creeping into his voice. He started gasping for air. He reached into his fannypack and used his inhaler.
"At the neibolt house" Ben finished for him. Eddie ran up to the screen and pulled the paper map down. Bill told him to put it back and Eddie just stood there and shook his head. Until the pojector turned to a different slide. Then another. Then another and it went to one of Bills family. We all watched in horror as it zoomed in on Bill's mom. She started to change into the clown.
"WHAT THE F**K IS THAT? WHAT THE F**K IS THAT?!" Richie screamed. Eddie backed away fast and went to where Richie and Ben were standing. The clown had its head cocked to the side and was biting its lip.
"Turn it off. Turn it off!" I screamed not wanting to have to deal with this clown again. Mike kicked the tabke and the projector landed on the ground. The clown was still on the screen but it looked as if his face was pressed against the screen. Then he dissapeared.
Out of no where he was back but he was halfway out of the projector. The boys all went towards the door and I somehow got seperated. The clown came straight at me and I put my hands infront of my face like a sheild and screamed. Then light flooded into the garage and Pennywise was gone.
