• THE CURSE OF DERRY • PENNYWISE X READER

Part II - Chapter 7

*Pennywise's POV*

I laid there for a while as you slept next to me. The light of the moon shining through the crack of the curtains, portraying a line of bright light across the floor. I kept thinking about the look you gave me at dinner, the fear in your eyes... I didn't ask you what you saw, but I knew for a fact that it wasn't good. I rolled onto my back looking up at the ceiling. I turned my head over and looked at you as you laid there sleeping, seeing you safe by my side put my mind at ease momentarily.

As I watched her sleeping, gently stroking one of the hairs from her face, I heard a gust of wind blow through the room, gently moving the curtains. I rolled over to look out the now revealed window, still wide awake. I slowly began to drift off as I looked out the window, and onto the trees blowing gently from across the street.

"You can't run from me forever.... you will be back, and WE will take her, together!" A voice whispered in my ear.

I suddenly threw myself up from the bed, frantically looking around the room. I instantly looked down at you, placing my hand on your back. I could feel you breathing, resting there comfortably, as I had left you. I sighed a breath of relief. I checked the room once more before leaning back down onto my pillow. As I laid there, suddenly lights flashed before my eyes.

The flash of light slowly faded, revealing what laid before me. I sat out in an open field of grass. I stood up spinning around too see a small wooden shed, and in front of me where I first regained vision, there was a bare tree, with a well sat next to it. I squinted trying too get a better view of it, noticing a woman standing besides it, in an old dress, with a white apron wrapped around her front, a bonnet stashed in her hair. I began to walk towards her watching what she was doing. She was hoisting a pale out from the bottom of the well, turning the wheel, as it got closer too the surface. I paused and watched as she pulled the bucket too the top. She lifted it onto the edge of the well, elegantly placing it down on the stone wall. I stood looking up out of curiosity before looking over my shoulder once again, checking too see if anyone else was around.

With no one being there I turned my attention back to the woman. She looked into the bucket before suddenly covering her mouth with her hands. She stepped back from it for a moment before mustering up the courage too look again. I continued too walk towards the woman, before she let out a blood curdling scream.

"Aaaaahhhhhhhhh" She screamed, before running in the opposite direction.

I walked too the edge of the well looking into the bucket first, as I bent over too look, I pulled away pretty quickly. My heart pumped out of my chest from what I had seen. I looked once again to confirm my suspicions, and in there laid a mixture of blood, and small bones.

I grabbed my chin breathing heavily, before bringing my arms up too scratch my head in stress.

"Jesus..." I said looking down into the ground, as I paced in a circle.

"Do you know what that is?¿" A voice echoed from the well.

I froze directing my attention to the hole, bending over looking into the dark chasm. At the base of it, two red eyes glowed, staring back at me, coming too the surface, faster with every blink.

"That was our first kill" He screeched, placing his claw like fingers on the rim of the well.

"That's what made us what we are!!!" He hissed, lifting himself onto the stone wall.

He sat down on it with his leg crossed over the other, starring at me as he rested his chin on his fist. I stepped backwards still starring at the beast.

"I'd never hurt anyone! It was always you" I yelled pointing at IT.

He shook his head at me, laughing at my ignorance.
