◼BROOKLYN MILES◼
I had gone home to change into different clothes since I was went from the 'Rock War'. I was now dressed in something comfy.
I was riding down the street past the strip mall and finally in front of Bill's house.
I braked and shoved my bike over letting it land on th ground, the garage door was open letting light flood into the dark space where the group was.
They were putting up blankets in front of the windows to stop the light from coming in.
I started to help before sitting down in boredom next to Eddie and Ben near the front.
Mike turned on the Slide machine and Stanley closed the garage door, everyone settled onto either the bean bag chair or a bar stool to view the slide.
Ben and Bill put in small slides so we could see the map of Derry.
"Look, t-that's were Georgie disappeared" Bill pointed to the drain that was marked off with a red cross.
"That's the black spot..."
While everyone was trying to work it out it finally clicked in my head.
"It's connected by the sewers and they meet up at the Well House" I stated in the silence then everyone got it.
"Isn't that the house on Niebolt street?" Stanley's face went pale as he came to the realization.
"You mean that creepy-ass house were all the Hobos and Junkies like to sleep?" Richie asked rubbing his nose.
I could see that Eddie was panicking because he was taking extra pumps of his inhaler and gasping for air; I placed my hand on Eddie's back to comfort him.
"That's where I saw IT, that's where I saw the clown" Eddie stated breathlessly.
"That's where IT lives"
Eddie was inhaling sharply which was making me worried.
"Can't imagine anything wanting to live there..." Stanley shrugged.
Eddie stood upfront of us.
"Can we stop talking about this? I can barely breath, it's summer, I'm up her having a fucking asthma attack! I'm not doing this!" He ripped the map down from the wall.
Then the Slide show machine started to change the slides, it continued to go through the whole cycle of photos of Bill's family.
It was unnerving.
"What happened?" Bill pressed to button to stop as Eddie backed away from the wall.
"What's going on?" Stanley got up from his seat.
"Guys, it won't stop" Mike was pressing the button repeatedly and aggressively.
Then a picture came up, the whole family standing in a line but Bill's mom had her hair all over the place, covering her face.
It started to zoom in on Georgie that was smiling brightly.
"Georgie?..." Bill muttered in disbelief.
Then it panned to Bill's mom, the projector flicked the slides rapidly making the hair look like it was moving.
Then the hair started to move showing the white face and red cheeks we knew so well.
It was the clown.
"What the fuck!" Richie yelled scrambling backwards behind me.
I let out a loud shriek at the sight but I was too scared to move, I was frozen in my place.
"What the fuck is that!?" Richie yelled grabbing onto my arm sending me flying back into his arms.
"Turn it off!" Beverly yelled as everyone scattered back into the corner.
Mike kicked the table making the projector tumble to the floor, the light was still working and it was right next to Stanley.
Then the Blurry Image of IT disappeared for view, but just as we relaxed.
The large terrifying clown jumped out of the screen, everyone screamed in terror as the creature chomped its sharp teeth in a sickening manner.
I let out a whimper as it looked around the room, I dragged Richie out of the way and placed him behind me.
The light flashed the walls, on and off.
I made a run for it, it clawed at me with its hands and tried to catch me like a cat and mouse and finally, I opened the garage door, the light-soaked throughout the room, the clown was nowhere to be seen.
Beverly ran to me and engulfed me in a hug, I hugged back quickly before breaking off to check on Richie.
He had a pale face and his eyes were still wide, I rapped my arms around his neck letting his face rest in the crock of my neck.
"Guess you really are a virgin, huh?" I looked him in the eye as he nodded slightly.
I kissed his forehead lightly in a comforting way before wrapping an arm around his side to face Bill.
"We have to go" Bill said strong willed.
"Go where?"
"Niebolt, that's were Georgie is"
"After that?" I said stepping forward.
"Yeah it's summer, we should be having fun" Richie said in a shaky voice.
