Dare Me (Henry Bowers x Reader)

Flames

I spent most of my time with Henry and the gang (without Richie or any of the kids knowing). I sit on Henry's lap as he plays with the stings of my shorts. "You cut these to short," Henry says skimming my legs with his fingertips. "I did not! You can't even see anything!" "The fuck you call all this then?" Victor laughs and goes back to reading his magazine.

I lean up gabbing my purse and pulling out a blunt. All they boys perked up. "Julie will be home in a minute if you want to wait for her." my girl Julie!

Minutes later the door swings open and Julie walks in with Carly. "Holy shit," Carly says looking at me perched on Henry's lap. "I know we've been busy and haven't seen you but answer me one thing, Henry." Carly sat right beside him leaning in. "How's she taste?" "Oh my god!" I jump on Carly laughing with my girls. "Don't answer th-" "sugar with some cherry." Henry looks at me smirking. "You better take care of my girl." Julie pushed Bowers's arm. Henry wraps his hand around my ankle squeezing it playfully.

I roll my eyes lighting the blunt and passing it to my boyfriend. "We should go somewhere tonight," I say looking up at the ceiling. "I'm ready for something new! Let's go to the park!" "The house is empty for the weekend and you want to leave?" Belch asks confused. "Well if you had a park in the back of your house this wouldn't be an issue. "I can give you more fun than a park baby," Henry says winking.

"Nope! We're going to the park so these two can fuck on a swing! Let's go!" Carly yells walking out the door.

I slide down the cool plastic laughing at Belch as he jumps off the swing and into the mulch. "Ah good one! You could've gone higher!" "You do it then!" He laughs dusting off his pants. "I will." I whip my hair and start to swing higher and higher until I'm almost ready to jump. "3... 2... 1..." I try to jump but a hand comes around my neck pulling me to the ground. I look in the eyes of the clown as he closes my airway. "Henry! H-Help-" I wheeze out my limbs flailing. "He can't help you now. Oh no, he can't! No, no, no!" Pennywise giggles evilly.

"S-stop." I try and pry his hands away from my neck but it is no use. Pennywise laughed and threw me backward. I didn't hit the ground. I went falling in darkness screaming and crying. I hit the ground with a thud hitting my head. I sit up looking around.

"No. fucking. Way." I see my surroundings are my house, but old and torn away. I walk on the rotten wood down to the main floor. I see my family sitting on the couch looking like nothing is wrong. "Mom?" I touch her shoulder softly gaining her eye contact. "Oh, darling look... it's her." My mother touches my cheek looking dazed. "Mom, Dad we have to get out of here." They look at me confused. "Were staying here (Y/n)." my father says not looking up from his paper.

"Why would we leave? Then we'd have to move this!" Richie opens the door to the closet and huge flames. "Richie!" I slam the door closed and push him away. "What? It's just a little hot." I look at my mother and plead her to leave home. "Honey. Please hush. I need you to try this on for size." My mother lifts up a yellow sweater with red stains coating the sleeve. The closer I look I see she has sown her own hand onto the fabric.

I move back away frightened. "Dad. We have to get her out of here." I panic and try to move my mother but my father grabs my attention. "Dear. We can't leave. We live here. We will die here." He stands and lowers his paper to revile his face. His face that is now dirty chipped bone and rotting flesh.

He screams lunging at me. My only escape the door of flames. I have no clue if this is full of fire or not.

I cry running through the hot flames covering my mouth. "Please!" I cry out loud. "Let me go!" "LET ME GO!" I scream loudly feeling my skin melt away within the basement.
