Bill had convinced Nancy to meet with the losers at his garage with Ben's map of derry and a projector set up facing the wall, even after the whole idea of the moonlight man trying to kill her, nancy found herself going to Bill's garage. He put in a slide and red lines appeared, connected and leading to one place. "Look. That's where g-georgie dissapeared. There's the iron works. And the black spot." Bill pointed out.

"Everywhere it happens, it's-it's all connected by the sewers and they all meet up at the-"

"The well house." Ben answered.

"Holy fuck." Nancy muttered.

"It's the house on neibolt street." Stan said with a terrified face.

"You mean that creepy ass house where all the junkies and hobos like to sleep?" Richie asked. "I think I saw nance there once."

"Shut it, fuckface!" Nancy pinched richie's arm.

Eddie took a puff of his inhaler and put his head in his hands. "He's dead already." Nancy said as she watched eddie panic.

"I hate that place. It always feels like it's watching me." Beverly said, not taking her eyes off of the map. The dark color the house had made every kid that passed by it feel uneasy. Maybe even adults.

"That's where I saw it. That's where I saw the clown." Eddie said in between breaths.

"Th-th-that's where it lives." Bill stuttered. Nancy looked at the map. She knew that bill would somehow convince her to go there along with the rest of the losers. She looked over at eddie, once again, take a puff from his inhaler.

"I can't imagine anything ever wanting to live there." Stan said from beside nancy.

All of a sudden, eddie jumped up from his seat with a worried look on his face. "Can we stop talking about this? I-I can barely breath! This is summer. We're kids! I can barely breath! I'm having a fucking asthma attack! I'm not doing this!" Eddie ripped the map from the wall in anger.

"What the hell? Out the map back." Bill ordered but eddie just shook his head, glaring at bill.

The projector then started changing slides by itself. Showing pictures of Bill's family doing what almost every family did. Play baseball together, go on vacation. "What happened?" Bill asked confused.

"Bill, what's wrong with it?" Nancy asked. She felt fear run threw her whole body. She was pretty sure stan felt her fear because she felt stan's hand grip her's tightly. Eddie moved out of the way as mike went over to the projector to see what was going on. Suddenly, a family photo of the denbrough's appeared, each slide got closer to georgie denbrough's face.

"Georgie." Bill whispered.

"Bill.." stan said, concerned for his friend, but bill only stared at the picture of georgie. The projector started going through the pictures faster and faster. The losers noticed that the pictures didn't focus on Georgie, instead it transitioned to Bill's mom, who had her hair in her face. Quickly, Bill's mom turned into pennywise, who had a smirk on his face.

Nancy jumped up from her seat. "What the shit!"

"What the fuck is that?!" Richie panicked. The losers got up from their seats and backed away from the projector, not knowing what was happening. "What the fuck is that!" Richie repeated.

"I don't fucking know!" Eddie responded back, clutching at richie.

The projector kept going and going. Bill still keeping his eyes on it. Until Beverly told them to turn it off. "Turn it off!" She shouted. Mike kicked the projector and it landed with the light pointed at the wall, stan standing beside it. The projector slowly showed another picture, pennywise appearing with a blurry face. Stan backed away in fear. Each slide was the clown with an even blurrier face than before. Then he suddenly didn't show up.

His body popped out of the screen making the losers scream and run to each other. Nancy fell as she saw pennywise look at her and open his mouth up wide. At that point, nancy thought she was going to die, so she closed her eyes and waited for it to be over, but nothing happened. She didn't hear her friends scream anymore. She opened her eyes and saw daylight shining at the room.

"Nance!" Stan rushed over to her and crouched down. "It's gone." He grabbed her hand and helped her up.

Beverly walked over to ben and thanked him for having the idea of opening the garage door. She then hugged bill. "It saw us. It saw us and it knows where we are!" Eddie said terrified.

"S-so let's go." Bill walked to his bike ready to go to neibolt.

"Go? Go where?" Ben asked.

"Neibolt. That's where g-g-georgie is." He said.

"After that?" Stan asked surprised. "It almost got nance!"

"What kind of crack are you doing?" Nancy said with anger. Bill wanting to go to neibolt after what had just happened was crazy, she wasn't about to go hunt some clown after that.

"Yeah, it's summer. We should be outside." Richie replied.

"If you say it's summer one more f-fucking time..." bill didn't say anything else. He just grabbed his bike and left his house, making his way to neibolt.

"Bill, wait!"

🎈

Beverly convinced everyone to go after bill. She wasn't going to let him go into that house alone. On the way to neibolt, nancy could still feel the presence of pennywise, but she had to make sure her friend wasn't getting himself killed. "Bill! Bill, you can't go in there." Beverly shouted at bill as she let her bike drop to the ground and approach bill, who was ready to go find georgie.

"This is crazy." Bev said to bill.

"Look, you don't have to come in with me. But what happens when another Georgie goes missing?" The losers gathered around the entrance and listened to bill. "Or another betty? Or another ed corcoranor one of us? Are you just going to pretend it isn't happening like everyone else in this town? Because I can't." He paused and thought about georgie.

"I go home and all I see is that georgie isn't there. His clothes, his toys, his stupid stuffed animals, but he isn't. So walking into this house...for me is easier than walking into my own." Bill quietly turned around and faced the house with small tears in his eyes.

"Wow." Richie said.

"What?" Bev asked.

"He didn't stutter once."

Richie walked up the stairs, ben and eddie following until stan spoke up. "Wait?" The losers turned to him. "Um shouldn't we have people keep watch? You know, just in case something bad happens."

Bill, hand already on the doorknob, knew that stan wanted to stay. "W-who wants to stay out here?"

Everyone except bev and nancy raised their hands. The losers looked around and saw that the girls didn't have their hands raised. "Pussies." Nancy scoffed and pushed past richie to get to where bill was.

Richie snorted at her actions. "Says the one that was having a mental breakdown on the way over here."

"Last time I checked, there's eight of us." Nancy smirked. "Nice counting skills, fuckface."

"Fuck."
