Chapter 1

"I- it felt so real, l-like we were back t-there, in the house. Fi- fighting", Eddie took a shaky breath, pulling his aspirator up to his mouth and taking a puff, "I-it."

Beverly wrapped her arms around Eddie, who was shaking violently, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"I-it wuh-was just a dream Eh- Eh- Eddie." Bill stuttered harshly, trying to stop himself from feeling the pang if fear which darted through his chest at the mention of It.

"But," Eddie said softly, "it felt to real, I've never had a dream like that."

Stan spoke up next, " Eddie, we killed It four years ago. He can't be back."

"Stan, what if we didn't?" Eddie was still whimpering, his breath coming out shaky and uneven.

Richie, who had been quiet up until this point suddenly spoke up, " We had to have killed it, the stupid asshole disintegrated in front of our fucking eyes!" Richie was panicking, feeling ill and anxious all of the sudden.

Mike shifted in his seat slightly, so he could face Richie better. "Richie, we don't know anything for sure yet, it's okay."

Richie knew it was not okay, but he kept his mouth shut and sat back, sinking into the couch.

Beverly looked over at Ben, who seemed to be deep in thought. "Penny for your thoughts?" Bev poked him with her index finger, smiling softly at him.

It was no secret that Ben had a huge crush on Beverly, and to be quite honest, nobody really knew how Beverly felt in return.

Ben looked up at Beverly, and then began speaking in a shadowed tone. "If, by some chance, It really is back, what did we do wrong to make the 27 year span so short? We defiantly hurt it, and It did feed on some children before we got to it, so I don't understand what could have happened."

"Ben," Stan's voice interrupted the boy, "Eddie had a nightmare. There's no way it could've been true."

"B-but he said I-it felt d-different from any of his other d-dreams he's ever h-had." Bill crossed his arms, looking at Stan with an unreadable expression on his face.

Stan looked at Bill, rubbing his temples. "We don't know anything yet, we just have to see how it plays out, see if any of us have dreams, if Eddie has another dream, or even if we see anything suspicious. We can't jump to any conclusions yet. I'm not saying we should forget about this, because we don't know what Eddie felt. But we can't do anything yet, except try to stick together and stay alert."

"Stan's right, there's nothing we can do quite yet, we don't know what's happening yet. It could have been a multitude of different things." Mike's smooth voice eased all seven of the Losers, making them realize Stan was correct.

One by one, they all agreed with Mike and Stan, knowing  there was nothing they could do yet.

Even Eddie agreed to lay low for the moment, as he wasn't fully sure as to what was happening. He could just be working everyone up for no reason.

After everyone had spoken, Bev suggested they watch a movie and try to forget about the whole dream for now. Everyone agreed quickly, and Ben offered to go to the kitchen to make popcorn. Mike stood up with him to help, and everyone else began deciding on a movie.

After a couple minutes, everyone decided to watch a comedy called Back to the Future, which was fairly new, and nobody had seen it yet except for Richie, who had a tape of it in his backpack.

At the moment, everyone could use a good laugh, which is what they did throughout the whole movie, huddled together in the basement of the Denbrough's house.

The laughing wouldn't last long.

This is a new story I'm gonna be working on, it's gonna be a bit of a darker story, and it will take place four years after the first battle against Pennywise, when the kids were 13/14.
