Beverly was not going to let Bill go in this alone, even if he was out of his mind. Once she caught up to himself she asked him, "Bill, do you know what you're doing?" "I'm trying to save people, Beverly." Bill replied. "Yeah! And with that...you're risking your own." She sighed. He didn't seem to listen though.
He started to recite his line to help with his stutter once he got up to the Neibolt house. Everyone else had decided to follow bill as well, as everyone else showed up to the house. "Bill, what are you doing?" Richie asked. "Look, you don't have to come in with me." Bill stood looking at them all.
"But, what happens when another Georgie goes missing? Or another betty, or another Ed Corcoran, or one of us? Are you just going to pretend like everyone else in this town? Because, I can't. I go home and I see that Georgie isn't there. All I see are his toys and his stupid stuffed animals. So for me, walking into this house...is easier than walking into my own." Bill explained.
"Wow," Riley sighed, as Bill trudged up the stairs of the old house. "What?" Eddie asked. "He didn't stutter once." She pointed out. "Wait!" Stan yelled. Catching Bill's attention. "Shouldn't we have people keep watch?" He asked, simply for the sake of Keira not wanting he to venture into that house. "W-who wants to stay out here?" Bill asked.
Everyone raised their hands except Riley, Eddie, Richie. "Fuck." Richie muttered. The four kids stepped into the creepy house. "You're lucky I pulled the short straw, cause if we were measuring dicks it would be a different story." Richie scoffed. "Even then, you'd still be the shortest." Riley retorted. "Yeah, love you too babe." Richie said sarcastically.
As they all looked around, Richie seen something in some ingrown branches. Pulling it out, it was a paper with his face on it...it said MISSING. "What the fuck?" Richie exclaimed. "What?" Riley asked. "It-it says I'm missing." Richie said. "B-but, you're not missing." Bill told him. "That's my face! That's my shirt! That's my age! My birthday! Am I gonna go missing!" He freaked.
"Richie! Richie! Calm down, Richie!" Riley said trying to get him to calm down. "No it says-," richie started but, was interrupted by Riley snatching the paper form his hands. "It's not real, you aren't missing you're here. You aren't going anywhere Richie!" Riley said. "Hello?" A voice said. The kids went silent. "Somebody help me, please!" The voice spoke once more.
Slowly they walked up the stairs, approaching the unknown voice. The voice led down a narrow hallway. Riley grabbed Richie's hand seeing Betty Ripsom's body on the ground...alive! "B-betty?" Bill spoke. Betty gasped and was suddenly pulled away by something, causing her to scream. "She was just here!" Riley said in disbelief.
"Where the fuck did she go!" Richie yelled. The door slammed behind and they realized. "Where's Eddie!?" Riley freaked. They rushed over to the door but it wouldn't budge. Then Richie disappeard. "Richie? Richie!" Riley panicked. Richie shoved the door open, running out of there, grabbing Riley's hand.
In another room a bed moved, in the mattress something was poking out. Just then, a contorted versions of Eddie's head popped out. "Wanna play loogie." He gurgled. Thick black liquid spilled out of That Eddie's mouth going everywhere, as Bill hurried and closed the door. Bill, Richie and Riley came to three door.
Marked. 'SCARY', 'NOT SCARY AT ALL' and 'VERY SCARY'. They all went to the door that they believed would be the least scary. But what was behind the door, was extremely misleading. Betty was hanging there with half of her body chopped of. They all screamed slamming the door. "Where were her fucking legs!?" Richie screamed.
"This isn't real that missing kid poster wasn't real so we have to be alive that this isn't." Getting the courage they opened the door again, nothing being there though this time. "Oh, thank fuck." Richie shouted. "Eddie!" Riley yelled. The three of them ran over to Eddie, seeing that the clown was over there too.
"This isn't real enough for you Bill? I'm not real enough for you?" The clown questioned him. "It was real enough for Georgie." The clown smirked evilly. Bill was about to attack The clown when out of nowhere Beverly jabbed the clown in the eye with a stick. The clown grew angrier. Ben, Stan, Keira and Mike stepped in, then The clown sliced through Ben's stomach.
The clown slithered back down towards the room and tried to chase after IT. "Don't let it get away." Bill protested. In the scuffle Eddie's arm had broken, and massively at that. "Okay, I'm going to snap your arm back in place." Richie told Eddie who was freaking out. "DO NOT FUCKING TOUCH ME!" Eddie screamed.
"He doesn't have a choice!" Riley yelled. Richie snapped his arm back together, making Eddie let out a loud scream. They all scrambled to get out of the neibolt house. Least expecting to see Eddie's mom there.
