      Eddie were walking pass a church as the music from the church echoed out of the place,

      "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen, Nobody knows my sorrow."

      Eddie walked past the church turning on Neibolt Street. Eddie started to play his hand flute. Eddie saw the Neibolt House approaching as he walked. Eddie immediately felt uneasy.

      Eddies watch starts to beep, indicating that Eddie needs to take his pill. Eddie opened his Fanny pack and started to dig around for the pills.

      "Ok, ok, I'm hurring!" Eddie whisper shouted back, now just noticing the house beside them. Eddie pulled out his pill bottle, and pulls a pill out. Eddie was about to take his pill when-

      "Eddie... What are you looking for..?" A hoarse male voice echoed from the house. Eddie dropped his Pillbox out of fear. Eddie whimpered looking at the pills that rolled everywhere. Eddie gets on his knees and Starts picking them up.

     Just as Eddie is about to grab the last pill, someone else does. Eddie look up at the person- er... thing. It was a Leper.

     "Do you two think this will help me?" The Leper asked leaning close to them. Eddie jumps back, moving on his hands and feet. Eddie repositions himself and gets to his feet. Eddie got closer to the house as the Leper followed them.

     "Help! Help!" Eddie shrieked as he fell. Eddie got up and ran into a fence while he  is shaking and having a hard time breathing. Eddie turns around and sees not the Leper, but instead a clown, holding a pyramid of balloons.

      The balloons lift up to reveal IT's face. IT smiles at Eddie who is paralyzed in fear.

       "Where you going? If you both lived here, you'd be home by now." IT smiled to them. Eddie's mouth was agape. IT seemed to enjoy Eddie's timid form, the way he was pressing himself against the fence. "Come join the clown, Eddie. You'll float down here. We all float down here. Yes, we do."

      Eddie noticed a hole was at the bottom of the fence. He got down and started to crawl through. He stopped when he heard a popping sound. Eddie got up from the other side of the fence and saw that IT was gone.

When (Y/n) finally got home, she saw her Step-mom, Stephanie, standing on the porch, arms crossed and foot tapping.

"I thought I told you to be home by 4." Stephanie said glaring at (Y/n) as she walked up the porch steps. (Y/n) didn't pay attention to Stephanie, her mind was racing about what Ben showed her.

"It's only 4:30." (Y/n) mumbled. Stephanie was blocking the door. "Are you going to let me in?" She asked looking past Stephanie.

"No. If you can't follow my directions, you don't deserve to even step inside this home." Stephanie stepped back and went to close the door. (Y/n) stepped forward and shoved her foot in the door.

"This home isn't even yours! It's my dads! You can't kick me out!" (Y/n) yelled trying to push herself in. Stephanie continued to push the door shut. Out of frustration, Stephanie flung the door open. (Y/n) almost fell backwards. Stephanie grabbed (Y/n) by her shirt and dragged her inside, locking the door behind her.

"You will stay home." Stephanie said dragging (Y/n) to her room. (Y/n) shrieked and yelled for Stephanie to let her go. Stephanie opened (Y/n)'s bedroom door and pushed her inside. (Y/n) fell on her face and grunted and she looked back at Stephanie.

"You will not leave this house, and you will not leave this room!" Stephanie yelled at (Y/n). Stephanie then slammed the door shut and locked it. (Y/n) stood up quickly running to her door.
