"She's gone Koda, and she's been gone, you need to move on"
"I have to find her Stan, and I will never stop looking for her, then I can go back home and be with her again"
"....what if I don't want you to leave?"
Her big sister is missing, which for...
We all gathered in bill's garage, the lights were dimmed leaving it us in a small mass of darkness. We all gathered in front of the projector, watching with eager eyes as Benny helped Bill with the pictures.
The projector displayed a map of Derry, then another with the sewage passages.
"Look" bill says, pointing to the mark where it read "storm drain" in black ink." That's where g-g-Georgie disappeared". He then points to an other parts of the map, "there's the Iron Works, and the black spot" he adds.
"Everywhere it happens...I-it's all connected by the sewers" he explains,"an-and they all meet up at-"
"The well-house!" Ben beams in realization.
"It's the house on Neibolt Street" Stan adds, "You mean that creepy-ass house where the junkies, creeps, and hoboes like to sleep?" Richie questions.
Eddie lets out a wheeze, taking a couple puffs of his inhaler while I patted his back.
"I hate that place" Bev says," it always feels like it's watching me".
I don't blame her, I remember vividly having a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach every time we would pass by that house. It terrifies me a little, but with this new information, I felt threatened.
"I-it's where I saw it~" eddie gasps through his uneven breaths,"that's where I s-saw the clown~".
"That's where IT lives" I tell them,"maybe if we find Georgie there-"
"Anna could be there t-too" bill adds on, finishing my sentence with the same amount of hope and excitement.
I can find my sister and bring her home~
"Then we can't waste anytime!" I gasp him," we have to go now don't we?"
Eddie wheezes once more, taking another large inhale of the inhaler that was in his trembling grasp.
"Eddie~" I lean over,placing a gentle hand on his forehead,"are you okay?"
He shakes his head, looking at me with those eyes that he always gave us when we were doing something wrong.
"I-I can't imagine anything wanting to live there" Stan stutters anxiously,"maybe that's why he hides there" I assume,"so that he can be alone and not-"
"Can we stop talking about this!?!" Eddie says in a fit of frustration, his gasps for breath worsening. He stands in front of the projector, "I-I-I can barely breathe!" He panics, his eyes wide from terror," I-I-I can't even fucking breathe I'm having an asthma attack!"
"Eddie you need to ca-"
"No I'm not doing this!" He interrupts me, turning around and ripping the map from the wall.
"P-p-put the map back" Bill tells him sternly, "Mmhm~" Eddie hums in refusal, shaking his head with wide yet assertive eyes.
Suddenly, the clicking of the projector flipping onto a new picture silences us. Glance back, not seeing anyone touching the projector at all.
Who did that?
It was now showing pictures of Bill's family, Georgie and their father and mother. They were all smiling happily, this must've been before this whole thing started.
"W-what happened...?" Bill stutters in confusion. The projector continued to go through rows of the pictures by itself without any of us touching it. We all slowly back away from the screen, now standing up in alarm.
"Guys" Mike says warningly
It stops on a picture of The family holding hands together, every so slowly zooming in on Georgie with each click.
"Georgie..." bill says, eyes wide in disbelief. I feel a hand grab my shoulder, I look back and see Stanley lightly gripping my shoulder and pulling me further away from the screen.
"B-bill...?" he calls to his friend, looking at him as if he might know what's going on.
The speed of the clicking increases, moving over to Mrs.Denbrough's face that was completely concealed by her bright red hair from the wind. Her hair moved with each click, slowly blowing from her face.
Oh my god...
A pale white face looked back at us, grinning with abnormal buck teeth and sinister yellow eyes.
We all started freaking out, backing up as far away as possible."What the fuck is that!?!" Eddie screams.
"Bill turn it off,turn if off!" I yell rapidly at him, but he seemed to be lost in a trance, his eyes never leaving the screen. Mike lunges forward with his foot raised, and kicks the projector off the stand, landing on the floor.
Our only main source of light was gone for a split second, leaving us in pitch black. The projector continued displaying images of the clown, the clicks slowing down. After one final click, he was gone.
We all let out sighs of relief
And then...

We all scream, running towards the closed entrance door. The clown crawled through the screen, much more massive than our last encounter. He grinned evilly, chuckling at our fear. Richie pushes Eddie into the corner before he could get him. While the rest of us tried to open the door.
He looked at Beverly, crawling towards her. "Beverly!" I call out, running in front of her and shielding her from his towering figure. "KODA NO!" I hear Stanley's voice boom through our fits of screams. The clown slowly reached a long hand out towards us, and I forcefully grabbed Bev's waist from behind, pulling her further behind me.
"DON'T HURT HER!" I scream at the top of my lungs," PLEASE DON'T HURT HER!"
~Suddenly, the garage door flips open, revealing light from the sun~
We all stand there with wide eyes, the immediate change in atmosphere calming us down as light finally sprung into the once dark room. Each of us were panting, letting out long harsh breaths of relief.
I release my grip on Bev once I knew for sure it was safe, she thanked me and went to go hug Bill.
"It saw us and it knows where we are!" Eddie yells, Bill races over to his bike,"s-so lets go" he says.
"Go?" Bev questions him," go where?"
"Neibolt" he says," it's where g-g-Georgie is"
He looks at me," and possibly a-a-Anna" he adds on. I nod," I'm going" I tell Bill, walking up next to him.
"what!?" Stan bursts,"after that!?!"
"It's summer" Eddie says," we-"
"If you say summer one more f-f-fucking time!" Bill says angrily, speeding over to his bike,"coming koda?"
I nod, quickly hopping on his bike as he speeds away, leaving everyone at the garage calling our names.
