*My POV*

Bill and I just kept trying to get the head off of Richie as it had a death grip on him. "Richie!" We heard the other scream from the other side of the door as we kept trying to get the Stan head off of Richie.

"Get it off of me!" Richie screamed. "I wanna go home." Eddie said from his frozen spot in the corner. "Get the knife!" I shouted at Eddie. "God damn it, Eddie, get the knife!" Bill shouted at Eddie.

"Bill! Izzy! Get it off of me, Bill! Quick!" Richie screamed as the head was getting some drool/mucus(not 100% sure) on Richie. "Eddie, get the knife!" I shouted as Bill and I kept trying to get the head off Richie.

"Ahh! Fuck!" Richie shouted, before a knife sank into the head. Bill and I looked up to see Ben holding the knife. The head began twitching. Ben began to rapidly stab the head like no tomorrow.

Bill and I finally got it off and threw it towards the basement as the others arrived. "What?" Beverly asked as it hit the door. We all watched it grunt and crawl towards the door before rolling down the stairs.

"Is everybody okay?" Beverly asked as she kneeled beside Richie as she took her jacket off and I helped her wipe whatever was on Richie's face away. "He could have fucking died, man. You know that, right?" Bill asked Eddie as he stuttered. Bill had Eddie by the collar against the wall.

"I can't see." Richie said before I put his glasses on his face so he could see. "Gerogie's dead. The kid's dead. Stanley's dead. You want Richie, too? You want Richie, too?" Bill asked. "I don't want Richie, too. I don't. I don't." Eddie said as we all stared at them.

"Please don't be mad, Bill. I was just scared." Eddie said as he was crying. "That's what he wants, right?" Bill asked as he stutters. "Don't give it to him, Eds." I said softly as he nodded. We all walked down the stairs to the old well.

"A lot of memories, huh?" Ben asked as we approached it. "All bad." I muttered as we gathered around it. And soon enough, we were in the sewers, standing in what Eddie called... Graywater. "Oh, man. Blech. Gray water." Eddie said as we walked. 

We shined our flashlights around as we continued our path through the sewers and as we got deeper, the water did too. We came to the center of where it all began. "Shit. This is it." Ben said. "This is where it happened." I said as we all went one by one into the water, which was to our chests.

"No. No, no, no. No. Ugh!" Eddie said as he had his arms above the water. Something floated between him and Beverly. Beverly pushed it away as we walked, and Ben walked past me and Beverly.

"Bevvie. Bells." A voice said causing me and Beverly to turn quickly as we shined our flashlight down the tunnel we just came out of. "You heard that right...?" I muttered but she didn't answer as we kept staring down the tunnel.

"Bev, Izz, what is it?" Ben asked as he turned once he noticed we were turned around looking at the tunnel. Everyone else turned as well. "We thought we heard something." Beverly said before an old woman appeared out of the water. 

Beverly and I screamed as the old woman laughed. We were grabbed by the old woman. "Bev!" Ben shouted. "Izzy!" Bill shouted. "Time to sink!" The old woman said before we were pulled under the water as we screamed.

*3rd POV*

All of the men but Eddie jumped in the water to look for both of them. "Guys. Okay, guys. Come on." Eddie said as he stared around noticing he was alone, but not long after that they all resurfaced with Beverly and Izzy.

*My POV*

We resurfaced as we all coughed. "You okay?" Bill asked me but Beverly and I was crying as we moved our hair out of our faces. "I feel like crying." Eddie said. "Mike. Where do we go from here?" Richie asked.

Soon enough we were standing on the top of the pile as we all circled around a hatch. "In the depths is where It crept. In the beneath, to find belief. In the depths is where It crept. In the beneath to find belief." Mike repeated.

"Is he okay?" Ben asked as we all considered this question. "I think at this point, that's a relative question." Richie said. "What's on the other side?" Beverly asked. "I don't know. No one does." Mike said.

"That's comforting." I said sarcastically. Mike reached down and opened it. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Bill said as some of the others backed away. "Mike." Ben said before Mike sat down with his legs in the hole.

"Mike, don't." I said with a slight plead. "All right. See you down there." Mike said as he went down the hole. "Mike!" We all screamed. "Wait!" Richie said but he kept going down. "Stay together." Bill said as he looked at us. 

"Okay." Ben said as Bill began going down. "Guys, I can't do it." Eddie said. Richie looked at him as I did. "I can't. You saw what happened up there. I was gonna let you die. I just fucking froze up. If you let me go down there with you, I'm gonna get us all killed." Eddie said before taking a deep breath of his inhaler.

Richie suddenly grabbed his hand that held the inhaler. "Hey, hey, hey. Give me that. Give me that." Richie said. "Richie." Eddie said trying to get his hand/wrist free. "Let go, you little turd." Richie said as him and Eddie kept fighting over it.

"Just let me get..." Eddie said as he tried to get another inhale of the inhaler. Richie suddenly flashed the light on Eddie's face. "I got it." Richie said. "Stop." Eddie said. "Listen to me. You had a moment. Fine. But who killed a psychotic clown before he was 14?" Richie asked.

"Me." Eddie said. "Who stabbed Bowers with a knife he pulled out of his own face?" Richie asked as he held Eddie by the shoulders. "Also me." Eddie said. "Who married a woman 10 times his own body mass?" Richie asked, causing Eddie to pause for a second.

"Me." Eddie said with a little more determination in his voice. "Yeah. You're braver than you think." Richie said to Eddie softly. "All right. Thanks, Rich." Eddie said. Richie pats Eddie's hurt cheek causing him to wince in pain.

"Ow." Eddie said. "Sorry." Richie said before they walked over to us. "Here. Take it." I said holding the spear out to him. "It kills monsters." Beverly said as he took it. "Does it?" Eddie asked. "Yeah. If you believe it does." Beverly and I said before Beverly went down. "Thanks, Bev, Izz." Eddie said.

Soon enough, we were all going down when we reached the bottom. "You guys good?" Mike asked. "Yeah." Bill said as he hit the ground after Mike, and I soon followed with Beverly. "Can you get through that?" I asked.

"It's the only way. This way. It's in here." Mike said before he crawled through. "Through here. It's tight but we can get through." Bill said as he crawled through and I soon followed after as the others did as well.

We walked into an open space with spikes in the center. "This is where It hid." Mike said facing us as we all shined our flashlights on it. We all approached it and ignored the bones. We all shined our flashlights up to see an empty hole/void.

"So, all this has been under Derry, like, forever?" Eddie asked. "Not forever. Just a few million years." Mike said as we kept looking around, but I saw some of the spikes' partials raising in the air.

Mike put the thing in the middle. "It can only be attacked in its true form. The ritual will show us that." Mike said. "And what is it's true form?" Ben asked. "I hope it's a puppy. Like a Pomeranian or...I'll shut up." Richie said as he saw all of us looking at him.

"It's light. A light that must be snuffed out by darkness." Mike said before he put gasoline in it, before lighting it on fire. "Your artifacts. Place them in the fire. The past must burn with the present." Mike said as we all got them out.

"This is the boat that I built with Georgie." Bill said before he placed it in the fire. "It's my inhaler." Eddie said before he took one last inhale. "Come on, dude." Richie said before putting it in the fire.

"Something that I wish I had held on to." Beverly said as she put the postcard in the fire. "A poem I wished I had gotten from home." I said tracing the words on the paper not noticing Bill looking at me before I put it in the fire.

"This is a page from my yearbook. That only one person signed. I probably should have forgotten it, but I couldn't because I kept it in my wallet for 27 years." Ben said before he put it in the fire. "This is a token from the Capitol Theater." Richie said before putting it in the fire.

"You brought an actual token?" Eddie asked. "Yeah, man. That's what we were supposed to do, asshole." Richie said. "Do you have any idea how long that's gonna take to burn?" Eddie asked. "Yeah, but so is your inhaler, dude." Richie said.

"Guys, come on." Ben said trying to get them to stop arguing like a married couple. "All the toxic fumes and the plastic and shit, so..." Richie said before Mike suddenly held up a rock. "Look closely, Izz." Mike said before I stepped closer a little.

"You see it? That's where you hit Bowers." Mike said before I chuckled. "The rock fight." I said softly as Bill chuckled. "The day these bonds were forged." Mike said softly. "That's not gonna burn, either." Eddie told Mike.

Mike stepped forward and put it in the fire. "Oh, wait." Eddie said before pulling out a shower cap. "Couldn't forget about Stan, again." Eddie said before he put it in the fire. "Okay. Grab hands." Mike said.

"Come on." Mike said as we all grabbed hands. "The Ritual of Chud. It's a battle of wills. The first step was our reunion. The second was gathering of tokens. This is the final step." Mike said before the fire suddenly went out.

"What the..." Richie said before we all looked up and suddenly lights were coming down. "Fuck is that?" Bill asked. "Don't look at them!" Mike said. "Are those the Deadlights?" Eddie asked. "Don't look at it!" Mike said.

"Okay." Eddie said as we all looked away or closed our eyes. "Turn light into dark. Turn light into dark. Say it!" Mike said to us. "Say what?" Eddie asked. "Say it!" Mike shouted. "Turn light into dark." We all said and repeated it as Mike chanted.

We kept saying it as the Deadlights got closer as we had to squint our eyes tightly to not look at them, before Mike closed the thing. "Is it working? Did we do it?" Eddie asked, but soon a red balloon appeared in it.

"What is this? Is this a part of it?" Beverly asked scared as all our faces were shining red due to the balloon. "Mike, is this supposed to be happening?" Richie asked. "What? No, no, no." Eddie said. 

"Keep chanting!" Mike said. "What?" Eddie asked. "Keep chanting!" Mike said. "Turn light into dark!" Eddie said as we all began doing it, but the balloon kept getting bigger and soon enough we were pushed out of the center.

We all moved as quickly as we could before it popped sending a few of us flying. "Bev. Bev." Ben said going to Beverly. "Bill!" I said rushing to Bill as I helped him up from the ground. "I can't hear shit." Bill said.

"Wait, where's Mike?" Eddie asked. "Mike!" Richie screamed for him. "I'm here!" Mike said as he approached us. "Hey, guys." Richie said. "Did we do it? Did we do it? Yeah? Did we do it?" Eddie asked.

"We put the tokens in the thing. That's good, right?" Richie asked as I kept hitting my flashlight to work. "We did it, right?" Eddie asked before I shined my flashlight up and saw a face.

It was motherfucking Pennywise.
