"Dead."

"Dead.."

"Dead..."

You started falling back, uncontrollably. Your eyes were heavy, the word haunted your ears. You heard a scream, followed by another. Then pain. The pain remained there longer than the light, the screams, and the thoughts.

You woke up to a large amount of light flooding your eyes. You blinked a few times, sitting up. Then you realized. The light, the color of it. You screamed loudly when you were welcomed with large, yellow eyes. You scrambled to your feet, only to be pushed back. You felt something limit the movements of your arms. The same thing happened to your feet and torso. Soon, you couldn't move at all. The things were moving, and they must have been alive. You saw a face look down at you, except it wasn't a human face. It was a snake's face.

The clown had gotten you twice, with both of your fears.

You screamed louder and louder, as loud as you can. You felt something charge into your mouth and down your throat. But this didn't happen. Your eyes were widened, your breath was out. You saw nothing enter or exit your mouth. Shocked, you squirmed. You closed your eyes tightly, then reopened them.

They were gone.

You shot up, breathing heavily. Your eyes scanned around for any lifeforms. There was none nearby, but you heard voices. The surroundings around you were different, and you questioned it as you stood.

"Richie..? Eddie if you're alive..?" You called out, stepping forward. You looked around, snickering came from behind you. Your eyes widened as you saw the puffy-haired boy run off.

"Richie stop playing games!" You shouted, chasing him further into the sewer. You thought you heard your name, so you stopped in your tracks, turning around. The voice got louder until you saw the short haired girl run to you, her eyes cloudy.

"Where is Richie?" SHe asked through cracks in her voice, making you wonder what happened.

"I don't know. I just saw him running off. What happened to you?"

She just shook her head, running off with you on her heels.

"Hey! Get back here!" You shouted, hearing another giggle, turning around. You chased the figure who made the noise, leaping into the air, pinning them down. You grunted as you landed ontop of them, staring down at them.

It wasn't him.

The Richie below you had the face of the clown painted on them, their eyes snow white.

No!
