Eddie, Richie, and Bill were in the house on Neibolt Street. Eddie looked around wildly. "No, not again!" Eddie thought, his breathing speeding up. The clown banged through the closet door, and all the boys screamed. "Stay close, Eddie," Richie said quietly, obviously terrified. Bill stepped forward with a metal pole, ready to hit It, but It dodged the blow and killed Bill with a quick slash of claws.
Eddie whimpered and stepped even closer to Richie. The clown cackled evilly. "Oh, the little gay boys came to kiss without being seen!" Pennywise grabbed Richie so quickly that Richie didn't have time to fight back. He thrashed and kicked in the clown's arms. "RUN, EDDIE! GO!" he screamed. Eddie couldn't move. His feet wouldn't respond to his brain's frantic orders. "Chee! Please don't kill him! Take me instead!" Eddie sobbed. The clown laughed and sliced Richie's neck. Eddie watched in horror as the blood spilled, turned black, and became acid that burned the floor.
"CHEE!!!!" Eddie screamed desperately, tears pouring down his face like a waterfall. "CHEE!!! NO!" Eddie fell through the floor as everything went black.
Eddie's eyes snapped open to the darkness of his bedroom. He was shaking and drenched with sweat. He buried his face in the pillow and sobbed. It had seemed so real. He needed to check on Richie, make sure he was okay. He kicked the blankets back and tiptoed to the guest room. Richie was awakened by small, warm hands shaking him. He turned over to see Eddie standing there, pale as a sheet and hair damp with sweat. "Eds? What's wrong?" Richie asked his small friend groggily.
"I had a nightmare. Can I sleep with you?" Eddie asked in a shaky, weak voice. "Sure. Come on up Eds," Richie said. Eddie climbed up on the bed, and Richie immediately put his arms around his trembling friend. "Thanks, Chee," Eddie whispered, snuggling into Richie's chest, which had a comforting smell: Cologne and dryer sheets. "No problemo, Eddo Sphaghetto." Richie murmured, tousling Eddie's hair gently. "Wanna tell me what the nightmare was about?"
Eddie took a breath. "We were in Neibolt again, me, you, and Bill. The clown came out of the closet and Bill tried to hit him. He killed Bill. Then he grabbed you and killed you, making sure I was watching..." Eddie's voice broke and he let out a sob. "Shhh.... It wasn't real. I'm here. I'm alive. So is Bill. That clown will never hurt you again, I promise. I won't let It anywhere near you even if he is alive," Richie whispered, stroking Eddie's hair.
"You're safe. No one will ever touch my Eds again. I'll kill them if they try." Richie started humming softly. Not a specific song, just random notes to soothe the small boy next to him. Sure enough, Eddie's breathing grew slow, more steady. "Love you, Eds," Richie murmured, once he was sure Eddie was asleep.
A/N #2: Hey guys! Two updates in one day! Whoop whoop! I'll probably post more later, because I'm falling behind! On my rough draft, I'm on chapter 17! I plan to have twenty chapters, plus an epilogue. And I'm making a sequel! Read and review, please! I would LOOOOVVEE some feedback. BYEEEE!!!!
