Third Person POV:

Mike feels the ground move away from his feet as he looks at the place where IT and Adeline disappeared from.

"Mike?" The losers calls, he looks over the well. "Where's Adeline?"

"IT took her." He tells them. He then grabs the rope and makes his way down to the others. As he gets down the others give him a hug, happy that he's safe.

"Guys? Where's Stan?" Eddie asks, noticing the boy's disappearance.

"Stan?" They all call. Making their way through the sewers. Shouting their friend's name over and over. They walk through the greywater, shouting their friend's name.

Meanwhile Stanley is using his torch around the part of the sewers he is in, following the noise of someone running. He hears the footsteps bounce off the walls, but then silence. He looks around with his flashlight, just trying to find his friends. Then there are the footsteps from behind him. He turns and his flashlight lights up the face of the woman from the painting. The woman screams as she runs towards him. He lets out a scream of fright.

His friends hear the scream and run in the direction it came from. The all use their force and push against the closed door. As they enter, they see Stan's flashlight and then look to see Stan lying on the floor with the 'woman' on top of him and her mouth covering his face.

"Holy shit. What is that?" Richie asks. The 'woman' looks up to them. She then releases her grip on Stan, and he takes an intake of breath as she moves. The losers follow the 'woman' with their flashlights. The 'woman' goes into a pipe, but then remerges as Pennywise. They all let out screams off fright and horror. Pennywise then disappears into the tunnel and they group turn to their friend.

"Stan!" They shout, going over to him. They put their hand on him, and Stanley screams in retaliation trying to back away from his friends.

"NO! NO! NO!" He's screaming.

"Stanley." They say, attempting to calm him down.

"You left me!" He shouts, tears streaming down his face, his cheeks covered in blood. "You're not my friends! You made me come into Neibolt!"

"We know, and we're sorry!" Eddie protests over the boy's cries.

"You made me go into Neibolt." Stan repeats, all the group then come together for a hug, all whispering words of comfort. But Bill notices something else, he looks away from his friends and sees Georgie in the tunnels. He grabs Mike's gun from the floor and chases after the young boy. Eddie looks up from the group hug and sees Bill leaving.

"Bill?!" Eddie calls out. The group turn to see that their leader has left them. Together they get up from the floor and rush after Bill.
