IT2:The Children's Revenge
Chapter 8


The darkness held them tightly.
The five of them stood,motionless,in the thick darkness.
They now had reasonable proof that they WERE the choosen few to deafet the new It
(Its?)
OR reasonable proff that the new IT(ITS)wanted to lure them into their cavern.
To IT's lair.
They had been there before,twice.
Except Mike,he had only been their once.
That might have been a good thing.
The asthma aspirator and the Bird book were both symbols of Their dead friends.
They had remembered that Eddie had asthma.
Mike's eyes lit up when he remembered that,the answer to his 3:30am dream.
They also knew Stan loved bird watching.
These were signs that they were meant to be here.
To either kill the new IT...
(ITs)
Or die.
Richie grasped both of the dirty objects in his crusted hands.
He felt a certain power within them.
He,who beleived least that they were choosen,now believed it the most.
Bill shocked himself back to reality.
He was reliving the time they had visited Eddie in the hospital and his mother had chased them away.
Eddie had had a cast on when they did the ritual of Chud.
Bill had been in the choking smoke when he woke up.
He struck another match and the field of light caught all their empty expressions.
They were all in their minds right now.
Mike was reliving the time he had first met his best friends.
When Bowers and his gang of misfits had chased him.
They had helped him.
Put themselves on the line for him.
He loved them for it.Always did even when he couldnt remember.
That had started the great rock fight.
And they had won.
Bowers had been bleeding.
IT was GREAT!
He came to and gazed into the light.
Beverly was remembering the time they had gone to the laundrymat to wash the bloody rags they had used to wash the blood bathed bathroom walls.
They knew her parents would not be able to see the blood.
BUT SHE would have.
And that was enough for her friends.
God she loved them
All of them
The blazing light in front of her eyes forced her back to realality,she looked across at her husband who was still not here yet.
Ben was remembering the greatest marvel of his young life.
Before IT anyway.
The liberary.
'would the troll be bested or would he be fed?'
He had loved that place and spent many good times there.
He remembered his glass corridor that connected the adult section to the children section.
He had used that design on some of his own plans.He remembered the time he met Bill and Eddie.
How he hid from Henry and when he came around Eddie was bleeding and baddly needing his medication.
He had stayed,right in plain sight,as Bill left to get the stuff.
He was willing then and he was willing now.
Man he loved these guys.
He came too and saw the flickering light in his beautiful wife's eyes.
She smiled,he smiled.
The light went out and the darkness had once again taken them in.
Richie came to as it went out.
He had been thinking about the time at the movies.
Chuckalious times he thought.
Then blackness overwhelmed him again.

Eddie looked at Stan.
They floated in a seemingly endless pool of blue energy.
Where are we?I dont know Eds but i sence something.Me too what could it be?Its them.
Them?Yes,our friends.No.....Im not sencing them,what I sence is evil.Evil...Eddie where are we?
I dont know Stan....I just dont know.

Audra sat in the chair in her dinning room.
She had read the crumpled note in her hand about 6 times.
She was crying,she remembered Derry as she read the note.
The thing she had seen in the depths of that horrid town......She began to see the thing's face in her thoughts again.
And it scared her.
She looked over the note again.

Sorry Hon,I just remembered I have an important publisher's meeting over in PA.
Ill be back tomorrow or maybe the next day.
Ill call when I get a chance.
Love ya babe
Bill

Audra had seen right thru it,she thought at first it might of been another woman.
That thought didnt last long.
She then recalled a time when Bill had gotten a phone call and acting strange afterwards.
Then left for.....left for....Derry.
Thats when the memories came flooding back.
Audra curled her self in a ball,Bill's note a crumpled ball in her hand,and cried while she rocked back and forth on the chair.

Silvia did not like the way Mike had left that morning.
She noticed that he was tensed and tried to make him feel better with a little loving.
Mike did not respone to her requests for love
He kissed her on the cheek,telling her that he had to go meet some people on a very serious case and was gone.
Silvia thought that was wrong.....her father had always responded to her mother's calls for love.
Thats why she was number 10 of 12 children.
The way Mike had acted did not sit right with her.

There is nothing seen but blackness.
It could be the sewers underneth Derry,but its not.
It's a Hellbound Blackness.
a lone figure,frozen in place,floats in this darkness.
The figure whispers thru the black air at an undterminale speed.
Not fast nor slow.
Just not known.
The figure reaches a ray of light.
Inside the ray is a small object.
A small pocket knife.
A word is carved into the handle.
"Bowers"
The figure reaches for the knife inside the bright light.
As his fingers grasp the cool plastic handle,he no longer sees the light.
But now he can feel.....he couldnt feel before.
He could feel the coldness of water at his feet.
It was still black here,but it wasnt a dead black.
It was a living black,he was in the living world now.
He turned his head towards the narrow path of the sewers just intime to see,in the somewhat distance,the light from a match go out.
And he had seen the Losers in the circle of light.
And oh were they going to pay.
Pay dearly.
You bet your fur

The turtle is dead isnt he Eddie?Yea I beleive so.So they have no one on their side Eds.
They have us Stan,we can help.How?Well if im not mistaken,I just felt Bowers enter the sewers.
I felt it too......Its weird Eddie,I dont get how we are doing this.Me neither....I also dont get where we are at.
Do you think we are inside IT....I mean we are floating you know.Maybe Stan....but I dont feel like im in the presence of Evil,It feels good here.
Your right.No,were not in IT not in It at all.No?Nope.Where are we then?When I find out Stan,Ill let you know.
