Autophobia ♡ r.t

Chapter Twenty-Six

The clown decided to put on a little show, as if to almost tease the kids standing in front of it. It caused a large hole to start disintegrating his own forehead, stumbling around dramatically and spewing out black liquid.

The clown then left out an unholy roar, violently shaking its body before lunging at the group, teeth bared.

The group jumped back, most of them falling to the floor as they did so and scurrying backwards, far away from the monster that was after them.

"Bill watch out!" Richie warned as he desperately held onto Caroline, the two watching as the clown pounced on Bill, chewing on the bolt gun like a rabid animal.

"Leave him alone!" Beverly exclaimed after Bill had managed pushed the clown to the side, trying and failing to whack it in the head with one of the fence spikes from earlier.

"Beverly no!" Eddie exclaimed, Beverly then being pushed away as Mike ran over, going to hit it with a metal bar.

"Mike!" Stan cried out, watching as it flung Mike across the clearing as if it were nothing.

Bill took the opportunity to jump on the clowns back, hooking another of the fence spikes around its neck in an attempt to strangle it.

"Help him!" Beverly pleaded as Richie jumped on its back with Bill

"Richie!" Caroline screeched him horror, jumping up off the floor and blindly running towards the clown. In a panic, she grabbed onto the clowns leg, holding it with an iron grip as Ben and Stan each grabbed one of its arms, forcing it to spin in circles.

It first threw stan and Ben to the side, then kicked Caroline from its leg as if it were nothing, the girl landing next to Eddie with a loud thump.

It then threw Richie off its back, causing him to land in front of Caroline who was honestly just trying her best not to cry as she shuffled towards him on her knees.

It finally flipped bill down from its back, practically body slamming him into the floor as they all called out to him.

It grappled desperately onto Bill, holding him hostage in its arms as it smiled menacingly at the rest of the group.

"No! Don't! Just-just let him go" Beverly pleaded softly, watching as Bill tried his best to remove its gloved hand from over his mouth.

"No! I'll take him! And I'll take all of you!" The clown threatened, a look of madness in his eyes "And I'll feast on your flesh as I feed on your fear!"

The clown then began shaking his finger at them before continuing.

"Or~" it said breathily, raising bills face closer to his mouth "you'll just leave us be! I will take him, only him and then I will have my long rest and you will all love to grow and thrive and lead haaaappy lives; Until old age takes you back to the weeds"

The clown began growling softly after finishing, stroking bills face gently as it awaited its answer from the group.

"Leave." Bill stated weakly "I'm the one who dragged you all into this. I'm s-s-s-s-so sorry"

Pennywise then began laughing as the group looked on in silence, unsure of what they were supposed to do.

"Go!" Bill insisted.

With that statement from Bill, Riley attempted to place down the spike she had been carrying and turn around to leave, before Caroline roughly grabbed her by the forearm.

"Not the time Riley" Caroline groaned, pulling the girl back to sit next to her.

"Guys, we cant" Beverly said to the group, pennywises laughter continuing on as Richie slowly stood to his feet.
