TAG, YOU'RE IT AGAIN!

-

"MIKE WANTS US to go to the library, he said for us to meet there so we could discuss when to defeat It." Ben informed the adults, making them all nod.

They were all downstairs, sitting around, waiting for Sydney, Bill, Richie and Mike to come back. But they never did. Eddie was patched up, for he was stabbed in his left cheek.

"Mike is the person who called all of us back." Arianna told Kaitlyn, who was curiously looking at everybody.

-

"Holy shit," Eddie said, looking out the car window with wide eyes.

"What?" Beverly asked, leaning towards him to try and look outside.

They were all in Ben's car, going to the library to meet up with Mike.

"What's wrong, Eddie?" Arianna asked, Kaitlyn confusingly sitting next to her.

"Was his name Belch Heggins? Or some shit like that?" Eddie randomly said as he stared at something out of the window as Ben pulled into the parking lot of the library, making all of their eyes go wide.

Panic rose in Arianna's chest; it had to be Henry.

"Mike." Ben said in fear, and he quickly parked the car, and they all hurried out of it and to the library's front door. Ben placed his hands on the door knob and tried opening it, but it wouldn't budge. "It's locked!"

"No, no, shit!" Arianna panicked, running next to him and started helping him try to open the door.

Beverly didn't waste any time and pulled out her phone, clicking on Mike's saved contact and starting to call him.

"It's not opening!" Ben cried, and Arianna cried out in frustration. A memory suddenly came to her, making her freeze. It was the time that she was going to Richie's house, but she had heard cries for help inside. She shuddered at the thought of it; the fear and panic that rushed through the young girl as she couldn't open the front door.

She remembered how she knew that time was running out, and she had to get in and help Richie. She remembered pulling out a hair pin and unlocking the door.

Arianna remembered it, then quickly dug into her jacket pocket, praying that she had brought a hair pin with her. A wave of fear ran through her as she felt nothing. "Fuck, shit, shit!" She cursed as tears came to her eyes, and she turned to Beverly, Eddie and Kaitlyn. "Does anybody have a hair pin, or, something?!"

All three of them started checking their pockets, and Kaitlyn looked up at her as she pulled out a hair pin. "I got it!" She said, rushing to the door and sticking the pin inside the knob, turning it different ways as it suddenly opened.

"Oh, thank fuck!" Eddie cried, and Ben pushed open the door and they all ran inside, instantly stopping in their tracks at what they saw.

Beverly let out a scream and covered her mouth with her hands, and Arianna ran her hand through her hair as she fearfully looked at what it was. Behind them, Eddie protectively put his arm in front of Kaitlyn, who gasped and looked at it with wide eyes.

Henry was lying upside down on the ground with an axe in his head, and Richie stood above him, shaking as he looked down at the now dead man in raging fear. Mike was staring at Henry in fear as he lay next to him.

"Richie!" Arianna cried, running to him and turning him away from the dead body. She placed her hands on his face and studied his face, making sure he was free of any injuries.
