Walking down the creaky hallway, clutching on to the boy's gray shirt. The walls seem to cave in to the children, as they walked through the open door. Just as the two boys enter, a pulling on the girl's black and white flannel, pulling her away from her human shield.
"Richie!" She shrieks, trying to reach for the boy.
"Kelsey!" Before the boy could reach her the door slams shut. Turning around she sees Eddie running after her.
"Kelsey!" He screams running to her, only to have the floor between them dissolve into a hole.
"What the fuck," the two kids, question looking to ragged hole.
"Eddie behind you!" Kelsey screams in fear, as a man with holes, drool, and half a face, lays it's disgusting hand on Eddie's shoulder. The boy turns around, coming face to face with the thing. Without a word he begins to fall backwards. "Eds!" She screams trying to grab his arm, only to have the boy switch from her small hands.
With a loud thud the boy crashes through a table below. "Shit, Eddie you ok?" She scream down to the boy, the two make eye contact, before he passes out, slamming his head against the broken wood.
"Eddie!" She screams with worry, as the floor starts to recover. As if it was in rewind she saw the floor start to rebuild itself.
Shaking her head, as she walks backwards, pushing herself against the door that devided her from any other human.
"Not real, not real," she repeats as a mantra, starting to cower into the wall. The hallway spins, her frail legs giving way, as she comes clashing to the ground.
"Stop, stop," she cries, holding onto her head, pushing her light pink locks in to the wood behind her. All at once it stops, causing her to fall onto her side. No wall, nor door in sight, only herself in a large circular room. The same smell, and old wallpaper from the rest of the house.
Slowly getting up to her knees, pulling herself to her feet. Wobbly she walks to the middle, turning in a circle, trying to comprehend.
"Keke?" A familiar voice echoes through the lonesome room. Turning around again, she sees nothing, no one who could of made that voice.
"Keke, I'm scared, d-daddy h-he hit me," again the voice said. Tears running her face, the words that it spoke making her want to break right there.
Shaking her head, holding her wars trying to block out, what seemed to be her brother's voice. "Y-you're not real, y-you're nowhere close to here," she spoke firm, more to convince herself than inform whatever was taughting her.
"Keke, my face hurts, i-is my cheek s-suppose to be purple?" James asks again, but just as before she was the only on in the room.
Shaking her head as she rocks back and forth. "You're not real, it's this house, nothing about this makes sense!" She screams, pulling at her hair, her eyes glues shut.
"You said you'd always help me Keke. Please I'm scared Keke, I-I'm hurting, I-I don't want to be with daddy anymore!" The voice pleads.
"Keke, th-the c-clown c-came back!" The James imitation screams, sounding scared.
Kelsey pulls at her hair, getting up from her crisscrossed position on the floor. Once on her feet, she looks around, still not being able to find anything in the room. Going to a wall, trying to break through it.
"Kels, I can't stop the bleeding," Richies voice came from what seemed to be the other side of the room, as James was coming from the other.
"Kelsey, It came outside!" Stanley's voice cries.
All around her, voices spilled one after another. More and more friends, saying they needed help. Only making the girl feel worse, not being able to save the one's closest to her. Clawing at the wall, trying desperately to get out.
"Ahh!" She cries, pulling at her hair, still trying to kick the round walls. Running around the round room, kicking and clawing at the walls.
"Stop it!" Screaming as she cries, her kicks getting weaker, as her nails scratch her scalp, causing blood to drip slowly.
"Kelsey!" A voice comes behind her, all at once, arms wrap around her. Screaming she retreats from the warmth, turning abruptly to face what had touched her.
Her fear, replaces with worry, as she launches to him, hugging the boy tight. "I-I-I w-w-want t-t-to l-l-leave," she whispers, the room, turning into the hallway, she watches Eddie fall down.
"I know, we need to get Eddie, then we're out, promise," pulling the girl up, almost as a visual light bulb goes off above her head.
"Eddie, we need to help him!" Holding onto each boy's hand, as she runs down the rickety stairs, pulling them into the kitchen. Slamming the door open, the three gaze upon a large older looking clown. Slowly the clown turns to them, red marks down his eyes to the end of It's mouth.
"I'm not real enough for you Bill?" It taunts, holding onto Eddie's face. "I was real enough for Georgie!" It taunts again, getting to it's feets. Once fulling turning to the three teens, It jumps at them. Richie pulling Kelsey behind him, wanting to protect her.
A scream comes from beside them, as Beverly jabs a long pointy pole in to the thing's eye. "Eddie!" Kelsey and Richie screams as thwy run to the boy on the floor. Pulling him to the cupboard behind them, Richie and Kelsey both on either side, Beverly behind Richie, Bill behind Kelsey.
"We need to snap back into place," Kelsey instructs, seeing his arm is fully out of place.
"Fuck that!" He screams at her, ignoring him Kelsey looked to Richie, with a nod he understood what she needed him to do.
"On the count of three," Richie nods.
"Don't you dare!" Eddie screams, as Richie takes his broken arm into his own.
By now the clown has recovered, and turned to the four teens. Beverly pulling back Richie's shirt.
"Two," Richie instructs again, getting better group.
"Don't you fucking dare!" Eddie screams again.
With a nod of Kelsey's head, Richie snaps his best friend's arm back.
"You fucking whores!" Eddie screams, glaring at both Richie and Kelsey, exchanging his gaze from the two of them. Just as his arm snaps back, quickly It turns around, scratching Ben's stomach with his long claws, before shrinking away.
"We can't let him get away," with that Bill follows the monster, everyone screaming for the boy to come back.
Quickly Mike runs to Eddie, helping him up, as the three kids left begin to head to the door. Stanley helps Ben out the door, as he holds his bleeding stomach. They all run out and to their bikes, without thinking Kelsey starts running as fast and has far as she can.
"Kelsey!" Richie yells, after helping Eddie into Mike's basket. He yells as he bikes as fast as he can trying to catvh up to her. The group along with Bill fall infront of her, Richie staying pace beside her, as they make their way to Eddie's house.
