CHAPTER 1
3rd person pov
Everything was over They defeated IT (at least for another 27 years)and had found Georgie after deciding to explore the caverns a bit more he had been in pretty bad shape but he would live and Bill had wept again; though this time it wasn't out of sadness or fear, it was out of happiness because he had been right and his baby brother was alive. When they had gotten back to town Bill carrying his baby brother in his arms all of them soaked in blood and sewer water the first thing they did was take Georgie to the hospital and then the hospital called Mr. and Mrs. Denbrough to tell them that their son was alive. The losers had made sure to be gone by the time they got there, except for Bill of course who had only left his brothers side when they took him in for surgery to clean up his arm.
The only time Bill left Georgie's side after his parents had gotten there was when he was forced to go home. Except he didn't he couldn't go back to that empty house knowing his brother was alive, so he stayed with stan. After Georgie had gotten out of the hospital all the losers gathered to take one giant group picture, That had been the second happiest day of Bill's life (the first being when Georgie was born of course)and none of the losers couldn't have been happier.
Fast forward two years and they 're in Highschool now and Mike was even going to school with them now; they had somehow convinced his grandfather to let him go to high school with the rest of the losers. Now with the seven of them together some people were slightly intimidated by them but others couldn't care less about their numbers they were all still losers and that meant that must be weak (no one knew how strong they truly were) so they still got picked on. Other than that they were all extremely happy not hafting to deal with (or remember really) the murderous thing they had come to call IT. All of this is why it's a shock for one Eddie Kaspbrak when Richie Tozier (or Trashmouth as he's more commonly known by his friends) crawled through his window one night with tears in his eyes. "God Richie, what's wrong?" Richie just shook it off with a joke like always "Nothing's wrong Ed's just came for your mom and thought I'd stop by and see you first." He saw right through Richie's facade "Shut up Richie." It was July no one Beeped Richie in July, The first Time someone did it after Neibolt he stopped talking for at least a week it felt like an eternity to the rest of the losers though. "And don't call me Ed's, now tell me what's wrong."
Richie gave him a small smile "Oh you know the usual my dad's a piece of shit ma's drunk, oh here's something new; I have a brother!" He said he semi loudly but he was crying, whether he was sad or overly frustrated Eddie didn't know but he was determined to make the other boy feel better. "You, you have a what?" he sniffed and smiled again, it was still fake "A brother, a twin to be exact, I don't know his name, I don't know anything about him actually, exept he's 16 and we share a birthday." He was still crying when Eddie hugged him and spoke again. "It's alright Richie, I may not understand but I know you'll be okay. Now I'll go get you some food you stay here." Richie's smile became slightly more genuine then "Alright Eds, Thanks." and for once Eddie didn't reprimand him for the nickname
When Eddie got back with the sandwich Richie was relaxed on his bed but Eddie knew he wasn't asleep "Hey Rich I got you a sandwich I know it's not much but-" Rich cut him off "No Ed's it's perfect." Richie quickly ate the sandwich with Eddie sitting next to him and when he was done it didn't take long for either by to fall asleep
LINE BREAK
When Richie opened his eyes he was somewhere dark, it felt like he was standing on water, (like the feeling before you actually put your foot in the water) and Eddie was nowhere to be seen "EDDIE?" he shouted to no avail "ED'S WHERE ARE YOU?!" he started running that is Until he saw a girl "Mike?" She asked, "N-no I'm Richie, who're you?" She looked surprised "I'm Jane, Mike calls me El, though." she-Jane, er, El- said with a smile on her face "Well Jane, can you tell me where we are?" Her expression darkened slightly "The dark place." He frowned, confused. "Alright, well do you know how to get out of here?" She shook her head "Alright then, Who's this Mike who I apparently look like?" She smiled again "He-" she was cut off by another voice- one Richie hoped never to hear again-"Hiya Richie, how's little Georgie?" The way he said Either name was sickening He turned to look at the horrible thing that was IT "Y-you, we-we killed you, you're not real!" IT smiled IT's horrible clown smile "I was real then, and I'm real now." dread filled Richie's stomach "I-I'm not afraid of you." "Yes you are, and look, little Eleven is scared to." Pennywise pointed one of it's-horribly, terrifyingly- long fingers at El and Richie turned to her, she was white as a sheet-she screamed. And then Richie did too right as IT grabbed ahold of his throat "Beep Beep Richie."
Richie shot up with a scream and Eddie was already up with a worried look on his face "Richie, what's wrong?" Richie could feel the sweat on his back as he struggled to form the words "I-it's back." Eddie looked confused "what's back Richie?" Richie looked Eddie dead in the eyes "P-pennywise, IT's back." Eddie paled "W-we need to call bill." Richie's eyes widened (though Eddie didn't think that was possible.) "N-no not call him, we need to go there, IT hasn't forgotten about Georgie." "Alright, then off to the Denbrough house we go."
It didn't take long to get to the Denbrough house with how fast they were peddling on their bikes. When they got there Richie wasted no time getting to the door, It was the two boy's parents date night and so Bill was in charge of Georgie and answered the door quickly "Richie, Eddie, Wh-wah-what's wrong?" He had instantly noticed the panic on both of their faces. "IT's back." Eddie had been the one to say it-Richie had explained the dream to Eddie and was now finding it particularly hard to speak. Bill pailed and ran back inside while the two boys followed.
Bill's pov
He had to make sure Georgie was okay, something about hearing that, that thing, was back made him have a need to check on his precious baby brother, when he saw he was still inside watching cartoons he breathed a sigh of relief he turned to the other two Losers in the room "C-call the O-oth-ther-others, tell-the-them that IT's b-b-back, I'm Going to stay here with Georgie." Both boys nodded and ran off to the nearest phone.

Three phone calls later six of the seven losers were in the Denbrough household and bev had been notified saying she would take be on the next train back to derry. They were all taking a moment to calm down revealing in the fact that georgie was their and for a moment they were safe when suddenly Richie felt an almost pearcing head in his head before. Suddenly he was back in the place he only knew as "the dark place." only this time he wasn't alone there was a boy who looked exactly like him, only he didnt have glasses. "W-who are you?" he was still struggling to find his voice. "I'm mike."
