IT2:The Children's Revenge
Chapter 6

A female clown stands on the corner of Baltmyer St.
She has on a pink top hat with a sunflower jutting out over the rim.
A sign is printed on the hat
The sign states:"I love (heart) Derry"
The clown's face is painted pale white with blue around the eyes.
Her eye lashes are large and grow out far from her face.
Her nose is large,round and red.
Her real lips show no emotion,along with her eyes,but her painted mouth is yellow and is portrayed as a large jolly smile.
Her costume is a deep red,the color of blood.
Her bottons are yellow pompoms,3 in all.
Her feet are covered by large clowny yellow shoes.
In her right hand she is holding a batch of ballons.
Green,blue,yellow,red,and purple.
Small children,being led by their parents,scream and cry as they walk by her.
slightly bigger kids beg their parents if they can ask for a balloon.
But the parents see no clown.
Billy Knowls,age 6,had wandered away from his father.
And came accross Baltmyer St.
He ran up to the friendly looking,to him anyway,clown and waved to her.
The clown smiled friendly at the small boy.
"Hello"She said in a giddy but clowny voice."Im Penny whats your name?"
"My name Billy!"Billy said with glee.
"Well Billy would you like a balloon?"
"I sure would but i better go ask daddy,Ill be right back"
The clown's left arm jutted out and grabbed the young boy's wrist,hard.
"But these balloons are speacial Billy!Your daddy wont see that.They float Billy!Do you want to float?Dont worry you will!"
Billy screamed and his father,who was looking for him and approaching the streeet,heard his cry.
Mr. Knowls saw his son struggling and saw that something was wrong with his arm but he couldnt see what.
He ran up the street where his young son was crying and called his name.
Billy turned to his father and cryed for him.
Penny saw the man coming,grinned,and became real to him.
But not as a clown.
IT saw his fears and knew just how to get to him.
Penny became a large,hairy,brown spider.
Billy seemed to his father to be caught in the webbing of this large spider.
Its large black eyes reflcted his son's horror in them.
Glen Knawls almost ran away.
But he remembered Billy and could not .
He ran to his son and struggled to rip the imaginary webbing away.
To Billy it looked like his daddy was tearing at the red sleeve of Penny the clown.
Penny became bored with this and decided that the Knawls would have to die.
A large,pointed tooth like thing flew out of the spider's mouth.
It impaled Glen thru the chest.
Billy saw nothing but his father slump down to the ground,holding his chest,near his heart.
Penny the clown twisted and pulled on Billy's arm.
It came off as easy as a twig.
The blood ran from both ends and Billy cried louder.
If his father were alive he would of seen the webbing twist and pull of his son's arm.
Billy died of lack of blood.
They were found within 5 minutes.
Dead of a heart attack and blood lose.


The first class plane ride was peaceful and the "losers club" took advantage of that and slept thru most of the ride.
They touched down in Maine in a city next to Derry.
They rented a Station wagon and drove the few miles to Derry.
All they could see was dirt and some streets and buildings that had not been torn away.
They stepped over the yellow caution ribbon that surrounded the city of Derry.
They walked until they could see the barrens.
It wasnt hard since there were no Buildings to block their view.
They looked down the steep hill of the barrens.
It looked different from the one Ben and Bev had seen on the way to Bill's house because these barrens was a little broken down from the last incident with IT.
Bill was the first to step onto the dirt hill of the embarkment.
He slid down a few inches but caught his balance and was soon joined by Mike,Bev,Ben then Richie.
They slid and tumbbled down the hill until they reached the bottom.
Ben remembered falling down the hill as a fat boy when Henry Bowers had began carving his name into his gut.
Ben rubbed his stomach and could feel the small bump of the scar "H" Henry had carved into him.
When he rubbed alittle more he could the scar of the slash the werewolf,IT,had given him.
God that had been alot of blood.
That was the day he had first seen Beverly's small,developing breasts.
He thought he would never forget it and now it was hard to tell if he had or not.
The gang walked until they came accross their entrance to the sewer.
The Morlock holes.
The cover was removed and Bill was the first to go down.
He almost expected extra weight.
But then remembered Eddie was dead and the heaviness of saddness weighed on him instead.
So it kinda was like Eddie was weighing him down like he did the last two times they had to go down into the sewers.
Ben followed then Richie,then Bev then Mike.
The water was not as deep as it was the last time.
Their shins were soaked but that was all.
Bill remembers something that he should of asked before hand.
"Does anybody have any matches?"
Beverly opened her pocket and produced 6 packs"I was prepared" she smiled.
Richie took out 3.
Bill nodded and took one of Bev's pack
The walked until the light from the entrance and light from cracks in the ceiling were all gone.
They could no longer see each other when Bill lit the first match.
The others stared at it and he could see their faces,the shadows playing of the lines of aging.
They suddenly looked out to him.
Too old to be late 30's early 40 year olds.
They were all transfixed on the light of the match for awhile until Bill nodded his head and they began their way to It's lair.
They had light but without Eddie to navigate it was almost hopeless.
Bill hoped that the combinded memories of the remaining 5 members of the loser's club could match Eddie's compass brain
In the end all they could really do was hope.
