27 years of slumber is a long time. The Losers Club think they defeated Pennywise after the clown has put them through a grinder of fear and horror. Years go by and the Losers club drift apart while thinking Pennywise is dead. Most of them move out of Derry. Their memories slowly fade and they forget they faced IT when they were children. What if Pennywise never went to sleep? That he loses most of his powers for 27 years and needs to take on his human form of Robert Gray, cursed to roam around Derry? He would be bored as hell. Until he finds someone special to toy with to keep him busy until he gets his powers back. //I'm not a horror writer. Neither do I write loads of violence in my stories. I would like to give horror a try. Just in case, each chapter will contain a proper trigger warning when needed.//

Claret has been stuck in Derry for fifteen long years, and she is...bored. Working at the library is fine, but all she does is live in the fairy tales of her favorite books. Running from a past that she can't seem to shake, Claret is drifting through life. That is until one day, while in the forest on the edge of Derry, she comes across the creature that has been slumbering for 27 long years, calling upon its next prey: a little girl from town. Claret doesn't expect to make it out alive, but this new monster likes to play with it's food... I only own Claret as a character and the plot of this fanfiction, everything else such as Pennywise and the town of Derry belongs to its original owner. Takes places during the events of IT Chapter Two.
