Chapter 11
*My POV*
"Guys, spikes." Bill said as he took his backpack off and began gathering spikes. I grabbed a baseball bat and swung it. We gathered weapons, but soon I saw Eddie throw his fanny pack away.
Soon enough, we heard glass shatter, and we turned to see Richie holding the end of the bottle. We stared at him before we slowly began walking into the house. As we walked in, we turned to see Stan still standing outside.
"Stan?" Ben asked as we looked at him. "Stan, we all have to go." I said softly. "Beverly was right. If we split up like last time, that clown will kill us one by one." Bill stutters. "But if we stick together, all of us, we'll win." I said as I held the bat.
"I promise." Bill said, which got Stan to step inside as we followed Bill down some stairs to a well. "Hey, Eddie, you got a quarter?" Richie asked. "I wouldn't want to make a wish in that fucking thing." Eddie said as we looked down the well.
"Beverly?" Ben asked, causing it to echo. "How are we supposed to get down there?" Mike asked before Bill found a rope. We got the rope secured and threw it down the well. Bill began climbing down it first.
*3rd POV*
Beverly was laying on the ground, when she woke up. She looked around and saw a giant pile of toys, and she stumbled before catching herself. She began trying to walk again but fell into some water.
She looked up and saw bodies floating around the top of the pile. She backed away before looking around. She yanked on a door trying to open it.
*My POV*
I was pulled into the tunnel everyone else was in. "You okay?" Bill asked as he held me. I nodded while panting at the long climb down.
*3rd POV*
"Step right up, Beverly. Step right up." Pennywise's voice said over a speaker, causing Beverly to turn at the sound as a music box was played. "Come change. Come float. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll cheer. You'll die. Introducing Pennywise the Dancing Clown." The speaker said before a platform fell.
Soon enough Beverly watched Pennywise danced and it seemed like he got closer. Beverly looked between him and another open door. She then took off running, but Pennywise leaped off the platform and grabbed Beverly by the throat.
Beverly began struggling against him, and Pennywise kept laughing. "I'm not afraid of you." Beverly told the clown through struggled breathes. Pennywise yanked her close and sniffed her. Before he shook his head grunting at the lack of fear in her.
"You will be." Pennywise said before he opened his mouth widely. Beverly looked and soon her eyes became misty and she slowly began floating.
| Meanwhile |
Mike was about to climb down the rope when he was hit in the back.
*My POV*
We heard Mike scream which caused me to turn back. "Die!" I heard. "Mike!" We all screamed for him as I flashed by flashlight up, only to see... "Bowers." Richie said as we saw him. "Mike. Fuck." Eddie said as we saw Bowers covered in blood.
Bowers began pulling the rope up. "No, no, no!" I said as we all tried to get the rope, but we couldn't. "Shit!" Richie said.
*3rd POV*
Mike looked up at Bowers with fear in his eyes. "You didn't listen to what I told you, did you? You should've stayed out of Derry. Your parents didn't and look what happened to them. I still get sad every time I pass by that pile of ashes. Sad, that I couldn't have done it myself." Bowers said.
"Run, Mike!" The others yelled, which caused Mike to try and grab the gun, but Bowers got it before him as he pinned him down. Mike managed to knock it away from his head as Bowers pulled the trigger.
Mike grabbed a rock and hit it against Bowers' head. As they both got up, Mike charged at Bowers while running, which sent him down the well.
*My POV*
"Holy shit!" Richie said as we saw Bowers fly down the well. "Oh, my--" Bill said. "Mike!" Eddie said as we looked up at him. "I'm okay." He said looking down at us. "Oh, thank God." I said as leaned against the walls of the tunnel.
*3rd POV*
"Stanley." Beverly's voice echoed behind Stan, causing him to turn quickly. "Beverly? Is that you?" Stan asked before the clown appeared, causing Stan to turn quickly, only to end up in a completely different location. "Guys? Guys?" Stan asked as he looked around quickly.
*My POV*
Eddie turned back and tapped on Richie's shoulder. "What?" Richie asked, causing me to turn. "Guys, where's Stan?" I asked. "Stanley!" Eddie asked as we began getting out of the tunnel and stepping into greywater. "Oh, shit. Greywater." I said as we all began walking.
*3rd POV*
Stan kept looking around quickly, when he heard footsteps. He kept turning and turning, but when he turned again, the same woman with the fucked-up face came running towards him while screaming.
*My POV*
We were walking, when we heard Stan's screams. "Stan!" Mike yelled. "Shit! Stan!" Richie yelled as we all began running before we pushed a door open into a room. I walked around the corner, and we saw a woman with teeth over Stan's face.
"What the fuck is that thing?" Richie asked as we watched it. "Oh, shit." I said before the thing began backing away. It backed into a tunnel, before reappearing as the clown. "Shit!" We all screamed as we watched the clown back away into the tunnel.
"Stanley!" I yelled as we ran to him, before he sat up screaming. "No! No! No! You left me! You took me into Neibolt! You're not my friends! You made me go into Neibolt!" Stan yelled at us, as we held onto him.
"Stanely, I'm sorry." Eddie said as we all began to hug Stan. "You made me go into Neibolt!" Stan said but more quietly before I looked up to notice Bill was gone. "Bill? Bill!" I said before following after Bill. The others followed me as I kept going.
*3rd POV*
Bill was chasing after Georgie. He kept following him until he ended up at an open door. He saw the pile of toys, and as he stepped through the door, he saw Beverly floating in the air. "Beverly!" He yelled before running forward.
He stopped under her and tried to jump to reach her. As he went to get something to help him, he saw Georgie again, before seeing him run off. He looked at Beverly, before back at where Georgie was before back at Beverly's figure floating. "I'll come back for you, Bev." Bill said before walking off.
*My POV*
"Bill!" Mike said as we kept walking, we walked into a tunnel. "Bill!" Eddie said before falling into the greywater. "Get out of there, dude. That's greywater." Richie told Eddie. "Wait, wait, wait. Oh, my God, my fucking flashlight?" Eddie asked before a head appeared causing us all to scream. Eddie found his flashlight, and we began running through the tunnel to try and get out of it.
*3rd POV*
Bill kept walking before he rounded a corner to see Georgie standing behind running water from a pipe.
*My POV*
"Holy shit." Richie said as we walked down a tunnel and saw Beverly floating in the air. "Bev? Bev?" Mike asked. "Beverly?" Ben asked before we ran forward. "Holy shit." Richie repeated as we stood together.
"How is she in the air?" Richie asked before Eddie looked in a different direction. "Guys. Are those..." Eddie began as we looked up in the air and saw... "The missing kids. Floating." Stan said but we focused on getting Beverly down.
I was lifted into the air by the others and grabbed Beverly's foot and pulled her down where Ben was standing in front of her. "Bev. Beverly. Why isn't she waking up? What is wrong with her? Beverly, please! Come on!" Ben begged before hugging her.
Suddenly, he pulled back, before kissing her, shocking us all. "Wow." Richie said shocked. But not long after that, Beverly gasped backing away, her eyes turning back to normal. "Bev?" Ben asked softly.
"January embers." Beverly said. "My heart burns there too." Ben said smiling. "Jesus, fuck." Richie said before we all hugged each other. I held onto them as Eddie walked a few feet from us. "Where's Bill?" Beverly asked.
*3rd POV*
Georgie was a little more visible to Bill. "Georgie." Bill said softly. "What took you so long?" Georgie asked softly. "I was looking for you this whole time." Bill said with emotion in his voice. "I couldn't find my way outta here. He said I could have my boat back, Billy." Georgie said.
Bill pants softly as he watched his brother stand in front of him. "Was she fast?" Bill asked softly. "I couldn't keep up with it." Georgie said. "She, Georgie. You call boats "she"." Bill said. "Take me home, Billy." Georgie said.
*My POV*
We walked around the toys, to see Bill standing in front of... Georgie? We watched in shock. "I wanna go home. I miss you, I wanna be with Mom and Dad." Georgie said tearfully as Bill sobs softly.
"I want more than anything for you to be home. With Mom and Dad. I miss you so much." Bill said walking towards Georgie. "I love you, Billy." Georgie said. "I love you, too." Bill said before holding Mike's gun up to Georgie's head.
"But you're not Georgie." Bill said, before pulling the trigger, causing the rest of us to gasp as Georgie's body to fall to the ground. We watched his body lay there while we pant before Georgie's body began shaking rapidly while grunting and screaming.
