Sorry it took me so long guys, its been a crazy week. I'll try to post another chapter tonight, thank you for the comments and sweet reviews:)
"Guys?" Eddie stared up at the bodies floating up above
"The missing kids," Stan said
The Losers turned their attention back up to Beverly, who was still elevated in the air.
"Come on, help me up," Ben ordered
"Sasha stop running you don't even know where you're going!" John shouted from behind
Sasha stopped in an area of the sewers where there were three open tunnels. She groaned in frustration. Johnathan sighed in relief as he was able to catch up with her.
"God your quick," he leaned over to catch his breath
"Why are these kids so important to you?" he asked breathlessly
Sasha continued to scan the tunnels, "I don't know."
John squinted his eyes, "right, so you don't know why you're risking your life for a group of kids who like to wander around in sewers. Okay."
Sasha rolled her eyes and turned to him, "I feel like I'm responsible for all this happening, Romanoff came here for me and if I leave he'll find them, easily kill them and for what? Because I decided to run away?"
She glanced to the ground, "We can't keep running John. What kind of life is that?"
He stared at her for a few moments before shaking his head and placing a heavy hand on her shoulder, "Sasha. I just want you to know, from the bottom of my heart that …"
She watched him, her mouth slightly agape in interest of his next words. Hoping for some sort of wisdom from him.
"You are a serious pain in my ass."
Her eyes closed slightly and she simply stared at her brother. Johnathan smiled and winked, pecking her on the forehead and turning to the tunnels.
"Your call kiddo," he stated
Sasha walked forward, trying to listen for any sign of the Losers, suddenly they both heard children screaming down the far left sewer. Jonathan and Sasha looked to one another and bolted into the darkness.
"Kill it!"
"Shoot!"
"Kill it Bill!"
"Hey! It's not loaded!" Mike shouted
Bill took a breath and pulled the trigger, making some sort of reaction out of Pennywise, a hole seeming to appear on his head. He started twitching and stretched his back far and began shaking uncontrollably as he rose, charging for the group.
The Losers jumped out of the way, avoiding the clown's sharp teeth. Beverly swung at him with a metal pipe, only making him angrier.
"Beverly no!" Eddie yelled
Mike jumped in and was thrown across the way. Bill jumped up onto Pennywise' back, along with Richie, while Eddie and Stand gripped onto his arms. The clown grabbed onto the boys' collars and whipped them around, throwing them to the ground. He then snapped his body back and reached behind for Richie, tossing him over his head into Stan and Eddie. Bruce barked and ran up to the clown and bit into his leg, causing It to cry out in pain and look down at the animal, kicking it in the face.
He reached back and flipped Bill over his shoulders so that he was not in Pennywise' clutches.
The Losers all stood up and watched as their friend was trapped in the hands of their worst nightmare. Bruce snarled at the clown but remained still, waiting for the opportune moment to attack.
Pennywise backed away eagerly with animalistic tendencies, shifting his eyes to each member of the group.
"I shouldn't have come here, I should've just left it alone. I knew they were coming, but I came here anyway."
Johnathan shook his head, "it's not your fault."
"I should have just listened to your letter and left."
Johnathan furrowed his brows, "What letter?"
Sasha looked up confused but remained quiet.
"By the way whose Roman?" he asked
Sasha ignored his question, not wanting to go any further. She noticed the light at the end of the tunnel, "This way," she said, running forward.
Beverly stepped forward, "Let him go."
The clown shook his head, "No. I'll take him, I'll take all of you! And I'll fffffeast on your flesh as I ffffeed on your fffear."
Pennywise stopped and raised a shaky finger, "oooorrr…"
He rubbed his hand over Bill's face possessively, "You'll just leave us be, I'll take him, only him. And then I will have my long rest and you will all live to grow and thrive and lead haaaapy lives, until old age takes you back to the weedssss."
Bruce slowly lowered his head as he growled, the clown drooled down his mouth and growled back at the hound.
Bill looked to him, "Bruce, it's okay," his eyes grazed over his friends, "Go… I b…brought you all into this mess….I'm s…s..sorry."
"S…s..sorry," Pennywise mocked and giggled
Beverly looked back to her friends, "guys, we can't."
Richie stood up, "I told you Bill, I fucking told you. I don't want to die, it's your fault. You punched me in the face. You made me walk through shitty water. You brought me to a fucking crack head house."
Pennywise lowered his head at the boy's words.
"And now," the boy reached over to grab a bat in the heap of items next to him, "I'm gonna' have to kill this fucking clown."
It roughly shoved Bill to the side and stood up, "welcome to the Losers club asshole!"
Pennywise lunged at Richie, but was too late when the end of the bat slammed across the clown's face, making him back away disoriented. Mike was about to swing until It stopped and stared behind the group, making the kids do the same.
Sasha walked forward, her eyes dead set on the clown before her, she observed him, his breathing was quick. He seemed so anxious to feed. The kids looked over at the young man following close behind, he looked a lot like her, in the light they could see his distinct similarities to Sasha. All but Eddie stood defensively as he
approached the group, gun in hand and a visible tattoo of a creature on a horse peeking from his neck. Bruce's ears perked as he ran over to Johnathan's side.
"Sasha," John warned
She continued until she stopped just a few feet from the clown, her eyes softened but his did not, "I know you're in there somewhere," she whispered, "Get out of here."
Pennywise raised brow in suspicious and scoffed. He shot his hand up to clutch Sasha's throat, she winced but remained still. John cocked his gun and pointed it at the clown, who looked back at him and smiled, he twisted the young woman's body so that she was now facing them.
He smiled and held onto her tighter, "And you must be big brother."
John only stared at him.
Bill ran over to Johnathan and Bruce, pulling out Sasha's second Seraph blade. The young man looked down at the boy in confusion, but his attention was brought back to the clown.
Pennywise giggled and looked down to lick Sasha's neck, she fidgeted in his grasp.
Johnathan clenched his jaw, "I wouldn't advise it wise to piss me off McDonald."
The clown nuzzled into her silver hair, "Oh no? Then I don't suppose I should tell you the things we did then."
John growled and pressed on the trigger, Pennywise held Sasha in front of him, threatening to use her to block any form of attack. She gritted her teeth and looked up to her brother, Johnathan growled and lowered his gun.
Pennywise began laughing hysterically, Sasha slowly reached down for her blade, he looked down and caught her arm, twisting it in front of his abdomen. He lowered his hand to grab at the knife and graze it over her skin, lifting it directly in front of her chest. Sasha stared at the knife, Johnathan walked forward anxiously.
"I will kill you," he snarled
He looked up at the young man, "not if I kill her first."
Sasha furrowed her brows, he's bluffing, she thought. He wouldn't go through so much trouble just to kill her now, especially if she was the one trying to save his life this time. Pennywise stuck the blade into a piece of her skin, the sound of burning came to his ears. Sasha cried in pain, Johnathan pulled the trigger, hitting It in the shoulder, he quickly stepped back at the sudden blow.
Sasha cuffed the knife out of his hand and gripped his arm, flipping back behind Pennywise and kicking the back of his leg. Sending him falling forward, Johnathan tossed a gun to her and she turned to aim it at Pennywise. He looked up at her with slight amusement, his smile soon turning into a frown as he scanned the room of possible meals. He body began to shake in hunger while knelt onto the ground.
She stared at him with cold eyes as she aimed the gun directly at his head, "make a move. I dare you," she said angrily, holding her fresh cut.
Clap
Clap
Clap
"Bravo."
Sasha's eyes widened when she heard his voice. All eyes beside Sasha turned back to see an older man saunter from out of the shadows, he appeared very dapper. His eyes a piercing green like Sasha and John's.
He eyes wandered over to Sasha, whose back was turned to him, he noticed a clown just below her aim, "So this is the animal whose been devouring my help."
He looked It up and down, "Such a disappointment, I expected different," his words were so monotone and Sasha cringed. She always hated the way he spoke.
"Sasha, I must admit, you were not easy to find love."
He stopped and observed the group of kids, "And here I find you babysitting, odd place for a field trip don't you think?" he snickered
Two more men walked out of the shadows, staring at the kids, Johnathan walked in front of Bill, while Bruce guarded the now group of Losers on the other end of the corridor.
Romanoff turned his attention to John, "You have truly upset me my son."
Johnathan grimaced, "I'm not your son."
Romanoff stared at him, clearly triggered by his hateful words. He walked closer towards Sasha's direction until John pulled up his gun and aimed it at him.
"Don't fucking touch her," he threatened
Romanoff watched him before smiling, he turned his head to Sasha, "How about a deal? I'll allow the both of you to live if you do one thing for me."
Johnathan scoffed, "you're kidding."
Romanoff raised a finger, silencing the man, "kill that abomination Sasha, pull the trigger and end its life. And hell, I'll be generous and even allow the children to live."
The Losers all looked at the demons, who smiled at them devilishly.
"Oh shit," Eddie muttered, clinging onto Richie
Sasha looked down to Pennywise, his eyes watching her and his body slightly shivering in weakness. She raised her gun and struggled with pulling the trigger. The clown's lips twitched and stared at Sasha in both interest and anger.
"Kill it," he ordered
