A clown actually makes children laugh. But not in Derry, Maine, where a group of outsiders experience their worst nightmares. Together they must overcome their personal fears, because only then can the murderous, bloodthirsty clown Pennywise, be def...
,,We can do this, together.",all of them thought, not knowing what was about to come...
Meg's Pov We were standing in front of the well. That went very deep. My heart was pounding in my chest.,,Hey, Eddie, you got a quarter?",Richie asked, probably trying to lighten the mood.,,I wouldn't want to make a wish in that fucking thing.",Eddie replied.,,Beverly?",Ben called and it echoed. No answer. I was afraid that It might jump up. So, I started to look around.,,How are we supposed to get down there?",Mike inquired, looking at the others.,,With this.",Lia meant, picking up a rope. Bill turned around like the others.
She walked over to us and we tied it to the hook, so that we wouldn't fall into our deaths by climbing down there.,,Alright. Come on.",I said as Richie threw it down. Mike pulled on the rope to make sure that it was as safe as it could be. Bill went first and after him Eddie and I. I really didn't want to climb down because I was afraid and I had a bad feeling. I couldn't really describe it. It was just a really bad feeling. The others were now down there somewhere and the only ones left were Mike and Lia. I could here them talking.,,You go first.",he meant.,,You sure?",she inquired, looking at him. Lia started climbing down.,,Don't look down, just go until you see the others.",she mumbled to herself and went down further. And we could call ourselves lucky that we got to the others in time because someone had followed us inside...
Beverly's Pov Something wet was dripping on my face. That feeling was what had woken me up. I slowly stood up, looking around. Where was I? Somewhere in the sewers definitely. There were toys, books and clothes and other stuff from kids. It looked like trophies which It had taken whenever he kidnapped a child.
I took a few steps forward, stumbling. A little dizzy was what I was. It knocked me out pretty good. I had to lean on something and grunted a little.,,Ok, deep breaths.",I told myself, trying to walk again. And yet again, I stumbled, falling into a puddle. This water really was disgusting! I looked up, seeing a circus trailer. That said: Pennywise the dancing clown. So, It had a name. But then my eyes went further up. I saw kids, floating in the air. Were they dead? Alive? I couldn't tell. Ok, I had to get out of here, now! I ran over to a big metal gate and tried to open it. The metal was creaking and it was straining.,,C'mon!",I thought, grunting.
Suddenly, I could hear a voice coming through speakers and a music box started playing.,,Step right up, Beverly. Step right up. Come change. Come float. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll cheer. You'll die. Introducing, Pennywise the Dancing Clown.",the voice said and I was sure that it was Pennywise himself/itself. At the end, he laughed maniacally. The music box stopped playing and Pennywise was still laughing. My heart was pounding so hard, I thought that it might jump out of my chest. The trailer opened and I jumped a little as some kind of firework started. Circus music started playing and there was Pennywise. He was just standing there until he suddenly started to dance. His facial expression was scary. The music became distorted.
I saw an open tunnel as I turned around. This was my chance. With one final look at the clown, I started running. Unfortunately, I didn't get far. It caught me. He was laughing when he had jumped to me, grabbing me by the neck. I was struggling to get his hands off of me. Breathing got harder.,,I'm not afraid of you.",I told him, still trying to pry his hands off. His laughter died out and he pulled me closer to take a sniff.,,You will be.",he said and his face changed as he opened his mouth. I was disgusted but then saw a light... everything was slowly fading away and all I could feel was fear...
Lia's Pov ,,Guys, guys. Help.",I could hear Ben whispering. I was right behind him and had to wait for the others to help him get to them. When that was done, I got the help of Eddie and Ben.,,Thanks.",I whispered. Now, the only one left up there was Mike.
Mike started screaming and everyone stopped what they were doing. I was still at the beginning of this little tunnel and looked up.,,Mike!",I shouted. What the hell was going on? The others started calling his name as well, as Bill and I were looking up.,,,You ok?",Stan shouted. We got no answer.,,Henry...",I breathed out when he came into view. He had blood on his face. Oh my God.. what had he done?! I couldn't believe it. My own brother wanted to kill all of us.,,This is not him! It did this!",I thought. Henry would never do that! He would never want to kill them. Hurt them yes but never killing them!,,Mike!",Meg screamed. Henry started laughing and I knew by then that my inner voice was so fucking right. Henry was controlled or manipulated by It.,,Mike!",we all screaming things.,,We're next.",Eddie even said as Ben had asked where Mike was. Henry grabbed the rope and pulled it up.,,Grab it! Grab the fucking rope!",I meant and tried to grab it, just like the others. But we could get a hold of it.,,Henry don't!",I screamed, desperately to reach my brother. Something good had to be left!,,Leave him alone!",Richie called.
We only heard grunting, Henry talking and struggling. What was going on up there.,,Mike!",we all shouted up again. I didn't know what to do. My brother was trying to kill our friend and I wanted to safe both of them. There had to be a way to get my brother back!,,What the hell is going on up there?",Meg asked, scared.,,I s-should get up there.",Bill stuttered.,,Are you insane? With what?",Eddie asked, holding Bill back. The only person that should get up there was me! That was my brother and I had to do something.
Suddenly, we could hear Mike yelling and the next thing that happened was that Henry was falling down. Oh God no! For me, everything went by in slow motion. But I was fast enough and, either had surprisingly long arms or Henry was just closer to me, to grab Henry's hand. It fucking hurt and I thought that my arm would break. Thankfully that didn't happen, but I cut my arm on a stone by holding Henry.,,What the fuck are you doing?!",Richie was asking, him and Bill were holding me because otherwise I would've fallen down. I shook my head as the others screamed to let him go.,,I'm gonna kill all of you! You're all gonna float!",Henry screamed and tears were running down my face.,,Let go of him!",Bill told me.,,Henry, it's not you! Please come back!",I begged sobbing. No one could understand what I felt at this moment. Of course I was fucking insane for holding onto him but on the other hand, he was still my brother. The only family I had left because he had killed our father.,,You're all gonna float!",he repeated over and over again, looking me in the eyes. And I could see that my brother, who I grew up with, who had always been there for me, was gone. There was only what It had turned him to.

,,Let go!",everyone was still screaming at me and with one pull of almost everyone, my arm was pulled away and Henry fell.,,No!",I screamed, crying and sobbing as the others pulled me away. At least Mike was fine.
Mike got down to us with that weird gun he had. I was sitting there crying and holding my arm. Eddie took a look at it and helped me a little by telling me to rip my shirt. I did it and he wrapped the piece of fabric around the wound.,,This should stop the bleeding for now.",he meant. I only nodded, wiping away my tears and taking deep breaths to calm down.,,Guys, where's Stan?",Meg asked. Everyone's eyes went to where he last was. What the... he was right there!,,Stan!",we called out. Oh no.. Where was Stan? We left the little tunnel only to be in a bigger one. Great how in the fucking world are we suppose to find him now?!,,Stanley!",I called out again, my throat a little sore from the crying.,,Shit... Greywater.",Eddie exclaimed as we were walking through it. We were walking around, looking for Stan. It was rather quiet. All we could hear were us breathing and our footsteps.
All of a sudden, we heard Stan screaming. I looked at Meg and my heart started pounding again. It had him and we hadn't even found him.,,Stan!",we all shouted again, fearing for our friend. If we wouldn't find him, Stan would die. Where the fuck was Stanley Uris?!
