I am so sorry! I ran out of inspiration and time and I just gave up over the months. I've been so distracted (blame the guy who distracts me) plus I haven't watched IT in ages, so I got fed up to be honest… but I'm back now! And I have decided to go with… C! Bill is going to head on up after Pennywise… Or is he? I've had a very good idea for using this option, which I hope will work out better :) I liked the ideas people were commenting with, nice thinking Batman's! :D Enjoy!

Chapter 8

"He is the most annoying person in the world! I just wish he would mind his own business! It's like he enjoys making me feel uncomfortable." I was ranting on the phone to Billie about her uncle. The guy had hardly left our house and he was always glaring at Toby when he walked through the door. Okay, I know Bill has a right to, since Toby is sort of Pennywise, who sort of accidentally killed Bill's little brother, but come on! NONE of the old loser's club had any evidence that Toby wasn't who he said he was!
"I hear ya. If there was something I could do then I would! But when he's not going out and leaving me here, he's yelling at me to do my work or that I'm grounded. It's like I live in the Stone Age, I swear." I giggled. Billie could be so over dramatic!
"I know exactly what you mean! Well, I gotta go. Thanks for listening to me."
"No problem little pal. Come over anytime it gets too much. That includes Toby!" I laughed again
"Thanks. See you tomorrow!" I hung up the phone and flopped down on my bed. Why was life becoming so stressful!

Bill P.O.V

I knew the kid was Pennywise. How? I didn't know that part. But I was 100% certain, whenever I looked at Summer's new boyfriend, I could see those hateful yellow eyes just underneath the surface. But how to convince the others? I thought back to my fateful conversation with Ben the other night…

*flashback*

"Will you listen to yourself Bill! You sound crazy! You have no proof that Pennywise is even in Derry, let alone some guy you've never met before, and whose only just showed up! Let it go."
"Ben, I can't let it go! That monster killed my little brother and about a dozen other kids in our time, who knows how many more before us! Please, I know something is wrong with this Toby guy. If you'd just give me a chance to get close to Summer, maybe she'd know something-"
"No. I let you have a lot of leeway when it comes to what's best for the group Bill, but I want you to leave my daughter out of this. She's heard all the stories, she knows to be careful, I don't want her getting scared or worked up over nothing. Surely you don't want Billie upset about this?" I straightened my back a little.
"To be honest, I'm not sure what to do with her. She deliberately disobeys me; she brings shame on her family and treats me like all I'm doing is ruining her life. She doesn't know how good she has it right now!" Ben sighed.
"Bill, she's a teenage girl, she's gonna test you, see what she can get away with, how far she can push the boundaries! You just need to try and connect with her a little. Maybe take her to see a film she's always wanted to see, or buy her something new. As soon as she knows she can get rewards as well as punishment, she'll start behaving herself a little more." Now it was my turn to sigh. I didn't bother telling my friend I'd already tried everything I could think of. She just seemed so ungrateful all the time! But then, maybe I really didn't know her well enough to know if she was simply a spoiled brat, or hiding her feelings as I did so often in my younger years. I feigned tiredness, bid Ben goodnight and set off for home.

It was pointless trying to explain to Ben. Summer was such a perfect child; they wouldn't understand how it felt to have someone throw all your efforts back in your face. Riley was so much like Richie, I couldn't see how they could ever have the problems me and Billie have. If Eddie were alive, maybe he would have understood… but Ellie was so quiet and well behaved, you couldn't help but instantly like her. I kicked a stone out of the road as I turned up the street to my house. Whether she was a little Angel or the Devil in disguise, right now I had to focus my attention on Toby. One of the group must know something was wrong. Somebody, surely would have realised he wasn't all he seemed? Stepping into the house and locking the door behind me, I took off my jacket and made my way up the stairs to my bed. If we could only turn back time and have finished him off once and for all back then, we wouldn't be in this mess now. But then, I wouldn't have my friend gathered round me now, would I?

Chapter 8 ends.

*Phew!* That took SUCH a lot of effort! I really need to get my old DVD out and watch this film again a couple of times, it's been so long! Well, there's a little glimpse into out beloved maniacs head ;) and also a promise of more excitement on the way. I would write more for you dear readers, but I'm afraid it's half past midnight here in the UK and I'm so knackered :L expect more tomorrow when I have more energy and time!
