IT: Chapter I - It Begins

Fuck you!

Continuation of the last chapter.

Bill's Pov
It was late at night. I had fallen asleep while I was drawing. Megan was still sleeping, even when I had woken up from the water drops which were hitting me in the face. It was raining and the thunder woke me. Great. Now I needed to do something about this leak. I sighed, standing up and quietly left my room. Megan hated it when someone woke her unintentionally. There was this one time where she almost ripped off Richie's head because he had the great idea of drawing something on her face while she was asleep. Let's just say that he and the boys never wanted to do this ever again.

Anyways, I was getting a bucket when I heard a light switch clicking. It came from my brother's room. What the...? Without thinking, I walked there, after I had put down the bucket. In Georgie's room was no one which surprised me. Why did the light go on? It was still hard for me to be here. Not having my brother around was hard. I sat down on his bed, grabbing a turtle which he made out of Lego and I sobbed softly.,,Georgie..",I mumbled. His room reminded me of him. Everything in here was still the same. As if he were here. Then, I heard footsteps coming from the hall. It sounded like someone was running. I furrowed my brows, standing up and walking out of his room. There was mud on the ground from these footsteps. I followed them downstairs and into the kitchen.

Meanwhile upstairs

I slowly opened my eyes, groaning. Why in the world did I have to wake up now? I sat up, hoping not to wake Bill. That was when I realized that the light was still on.,,Bill?",I inquired, quietly and rubbed my eyes. I turned to look at him but there was no one here. What the fuck? Where was he?,,Maybe he wants to eat something...",I thought laying back down. I didn't really know what to do and walking around in this house, in the dark? Not an option for me. Never! I just hoped that Bill was ok...

Back to Bill

I was in the kitchen when I saw this god damn yellow raincoat. It made me gasp and I heard the turtle shattering apart when I saw him running through the kitchen.,,Georgie.",I whispered softly. Was he alright? Where had he been all this time? Without hesitation, I followed him but stopped for a split second. He went into the basement. It creeped me out.,,C'mon, Bill.",I told myself. My breathing was trembling. And slowly, I walked down the steps which led into the basement. It was dark.

There was water on the ground. But I couldn't care less. I saw Georgie. He was alive and he was here, back home.,,I lost it, Billy. Don't be mad.",he said, sounding scared. He was standing in the far corner, right next to the shelf where the wax had always been.,,I-i'm not mad at you.",I stuttered, hoping that he would come out of the shadows. Which he did.,,It just floated off... But Bill, if you'll come with me, you'll float too.",Georgie said. My lips were trembling. Something was wrong and I didn't know what but it scared me.,,Georgie.",I breathed out.,,You'll float too. You'll float too.",he repeated over and over again, laughing like a crazy man. His voice changed and a head popped out of the water. It was a clown. A creepy one at that. Georgie changed, he looked different now and it was so scary. What was happening to him?,,Georgie...",I mumbled, breathing ragged. This clown was using him as a ventriloquist's dummy and put him underwater. It roared and came at me. As fast I could, I ran back upstairs and closed the door behind me. I didn't look back and just ran back to my room.

Once in my room, I closed the door behind me, leaning against it and closing my eyes. I was panting and didn't know what had just happened.,,Bill? What the hell is going on? Where have you been?",Meg asked, walking over to me. I opened my eyes, remembering that she was here.,,Is everything alright?",she inquired, concern lacing her voice.,,I-i... don't know.",was all I said.,,let's go back to sleep, ok?",she suggested. I nodded slightly, getting back in my bed. But could I even sleep after what just happened?
