A/N: Well, first things first. I intended to post the first chapter for The Snap today, it's finished, but I have to go back through and fix a few things, edit, rewrite, everything, before I post it. It's also 11,000+ words long (not including the 1,000 words worth of A/Ns), so it's going to be a while before I post it. Maybe in another two weeks, which would mean it took a whole month to write. Lol.

Second thing, because of that, I wrote a chapter for this story, then I'll finish Alpha and Omega: Because I Love You, as soon as I get some more votes on the poll. Granted, I have no idea who exactly is reading the story, but I only have 2 votes out of the 7 users following the story. (Although, I admit the lack of votes could mean "no", so…)

Thirdly (this one is towards this story), I don't have much experience writing human characters, so…if there's some details missing, or I didn't capture the characteristics of the characters properly, then I apologize in advance. Also, I haven't really socialized in nearly ten years, so…if I mess up on a lot of things, sorry. (You may be thinking, "How the hell can someone not socialize for nearly ten years?", it's quite easy actually. I moved out to the country just before going into Grd. 7 and kept to myself. Only time I ever got out of the house was for school and/or errands in the city. Covid doesn't exactly affect me, because of how I've already been isolated for like ten years.)

Fourthly, this story is rated M for swearing, violence, blood, gore, horrifying scenes, etc, etc, etc. The swearing and such, I'll keep it more towards the humans, since I doubt the wolves would be like that. I'll be living up to my username in this crossover.

Now, this Prologue is quite horrifying and I warn you in advance, it's not for the faint of heart, but if you've watched the IT movies with no problem, then you should be fine.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

P.S. I am not responsible for any nightmares readers may or may not have.


Prologue
Two years earlier

It was night time, as lightning flashed and thunder rumbled immediately after. A severe thunderstorm crashed over Sawtooth National Park, while two wolves tried to find shelter for the night. The male, who had black fur and red eyes, nuzzled up against his mate, who was heavily pregnant and had white fur and blue eyes, "We'll find shelter, honey." He soothed, "I promise."

She nuzzled him back, "I know, Dear." She replied.

The wind started to pick up and he spotted a den not too faraway, "There!" He shouted over the wind to make sure his mate heard him. She nodded in acknowledgment, then they made their way as fast as possible towards the den. Their ears picked up a loud boom, just before they reached the den, "What was that?" She asked, "That didn't sound like thunder."

He shrugged, then they went to enter the den, but he gasped and quickly pulled his mate away from the den.

"Look out!" He shouted, just before a meteor struck the earth where the den was. A cloud of dirt fell over the pair and the rain soaked it into their fur, making it all muddy and dirty. The dirt settled, revealing the den had been destroyed, but there was now an extremely deep hole where the meteor had hit, forming a tunnel that went into the earth at a somewhat gentle angle. The couple hesitantly approached the hole, "I've never seen a meteor bore through the earth like that before." She commented.

"Let's just find another den for the night." He said, then started to walk away before an eerie voice crept up the hole…

Come on down where it's nice and dry. It said, Come down and out of the storm, you and your pups will be safe, I don't mean any harm.

The voice sent a chill down his spine, causing the hackles on his back to raise, then he turned around, "Hun?" He asked.

She looked over at her mate, "It's dry down there." She said, "…and I doubt we're going to find anywhere else to sleep for the night."

He frowned, "I don't know, Hun." He replied, as he moved over to her, "That hole is giving me the creeps. Besides, it doesn't look very safe for us, especially with your condition."

Lightning flashed, soon followed by a crack of thunder and the two wolves yelped in fear. "Well, I'm going in." She said, firmly, "I want to get out of this storm before I get zapped by lightning."

He sighed, "Fine." He replied, "…but I'll go in first to make sure it's safe. Alright?"

She nodded, then her mate hesitantly stepped into the hole and slowly made his way into the earth. She could no longer see him after a few minutes and she started to get worried, "Hey, Dear?!" She called into the hole, "I think that's far enough! Can you still hear me?!"

"I can hear you!" His voice called back, "I'm just…checking something!"

"Is it safe for me to come in?!" She asked, but there was no answer, "Hello?!"

She started to panic and hyperventilate, "Stay calm." She muttered to herself, "There's no need to panic. He's probably just too far underground to hear you."

Oh, what a sweet thing. A sinister voice crept up from the hole, Too bad her mate had to come down…all alone…with no one to help him.

"Hey, Hun?!" Her mate called out of the hole.

"GET OUT OF THERE!" She shouted in a panic.

"Hey, I didn't know anyone was down…here." Her mate said, pausing for a second, "What the he-"

His voice was suddenly cut off by an audible crunch that echoed up the tunnel and reached her ears, then a bloodcurdling scream followed after.

"What the fuck are you?!" Her mate shouted in pain, then screamed. Sounds of bones crunching and flesh ripping echoed up the tunnel, as she collapsed onto the ground in horror. Tears streamed down her face, but was unnoticeable from the rain soaked into her fur.

"No, please, please, please." She muttered quietly, "Please just let this be a nightmare."

Pawsteps echoed up the tunnel and she perked her ears up in the hopes that it was her mate. She saw her mate climb out of the hole, then she smiled and ran towards him.

"You're alive!" She exclaimed, as she tackled him into a hug, "I thought you were…"

She took a sniff of his scent and gasped, "Wait…you're not-" She said, but was cut off when It's paw had morphed into a human-like hand and wrapped itself around her throat. It held her in the air and growled, as it's mouth opened like a lid, showing thousands of small, sharp teeth. She gasped in horror from the sight, just before It clamped it's jaw on her pregnant belly, causing her to scream in pain. She fell into shock, as blood spattered everywhere from her belly, covering It's face red.

It ripped her unborn pups out of her and started feasting on their tiny, half-formed bodies, while she died from extreme blood loss. After finishing with the pups, It bit her head clean off, spattering brain matter and more blood onto the ground and It's body, then dropped her lifeless body to the ground. It licked the blood off of it's face, as It smiled with a devilish grin, then lightning flashed and It disappeared along with her mutilated remains.

Chapter 1
Camping Trip
Present time

A blue van pulled up outside of a hotel in Derry, Maine, illuminating the front of the building, then the engine was shut off, turning out the lights. The driver's side door opened and a well-built, quite handsome, man with black hair stepped out, then walked around to the passenger side door. He opened the passenger door and a woman, carrying the sleeping form of a three year old girl in her arms, all wrapped up in a warm blanket, stepped out of the vehicle. She had tousled auburn hair that went down to her shoulders, "Aww, she's all tuckered out." The man cooed.

The woman smiled, then yawned, "What did you expect? It's already past eleven. Let's get inside, Ben." She said, as she approached the door leading to the hotel's interior, while he went to the back of the vehicle.

Ben chuckled, "Of course, Bev." He replied, as he opened the hatch and grabbed their luggage. He closed the hatch, then followed after his wife into the hotel with their luggage. They approached the counter and rang the bell, then a man approached them with a warm smile.

"Hello there." He greeted, "What can I do for you tonight?"

"We have a reservation." Beverly said, "Under the name of 'Bill'."

"Names?" The man asked.

"Ben and Beverly." Ben answered, then the man pulled out a logbook and traced his finger along the pages, before tapping it on something written on the page.

"Well, there you are right there." He said, then pulled out a couple pieces of paper, "Just sign on the dotted lines and you're good to go."

Ben and Beverly signed the paperwork, then the man took them back, "Room 304." He said, "You have a good night."

"Thank you." Beverly replied, then the two of them headed to their room. When they reached the door, they knocked and heard scuffling inside, before a familiar face opened the door.

"Ben!" He exclaimed, "Long time, no see!"

He turned towards Beverly and smiled, "And the ever ravishing Beverly." He added, before taking her hand and giving it a light kiss.

Beverly chuckled, "Well, it's nice to see you too, Bill." She replied.

Bill then noticed the bundle of blankets in her arms, "What's that?" He asked, curiously.

Ben smiled, "You mean, 'who is that?'." He corrected.

Bill took a second to understand what he was meaning, before a smile crept onto his face and he chuckled, "You've been busy." He said, then retreated into the room, "Come in, come in! You're the last ones to arrive."

Ben and Beverly entered the room to find Mike and Richie sitting on a sofa, playing poker out of fun. Bill cleared his throat to get their attention, then they turned around to see Ben and Beverly with their daughter.

"Oh, hey, you two." Richie greeted, "How's it been the last five years?"

"Never better." Beverly answered, "And there aren't just two of us."

"What do you mean?" Richie asked, confused. Mike frowned, until he noticed the bundle of blankets in Beverly's arms and whispered into Richie's ear.

Richie chuckled, "Oh, I see." He said.

Beverly smiled, "I'm going to go put her to bed, then I'll get some sleep as well." She said, "Night, guys."

Beverly went inside the separate bedroom and closed the door, leaving the other four to themselves. "I see you two have been busy." Richie commented.

Ben chuckled, "Yeah, well…" He said, then paused, "Beverly wanted to try, so…you know where that leads."

"Anyway…" He continued, "How have the rest of you been? Still living in Derry, Mike?"

Mike nodded, "You know what today is?" He asked.

Ben frowned, "Uhh…no." He answered, "What is today?"

"It's been five years, to the day, since we defeated It once and for all." Mike answered, "Also five years since Eddie and Stanley."

Ben, Bill, and Richie, looked down solemnly, "Wow…" Richie muttered, "I didn't even realize."

Bill placed a hand on Richie's shoulder, "That's alright, Buddy." He said, "They died protecting future kids from the same fate that my brother, Georgie, suffered…even Stanley."

"True that." Ben muttered, while Bill went over to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of bourbon. He poured it into four glasses and handed each one to the others, while keeping one for himself.

"A toast." Bill said, firmly, as he held up his glass, "To the victims. May their sacrifices always be remembered."

The others held up their glasses as well, "To the victims." They said in unison, then they each took a sip from their glasses. They put their glasses down, then Ben sighed, "Well, I'm going to get some sleep as well." He said, as he stood up.

"Night, Ben." Mike said, then Ben went into the separate bedroom, where Beverly was already sleeping.

"We should get some sleep too, Rich." Bill said, then turned towards Mike, "You need a ride home?"

Mike shook his head, then Bill frowned, "You alright?" He asked.

"I'll tell you later." Mike said, as he stood up from the sofa, then walked to the door to grab his coat, "I'll see you in the morning."

Mike opened the door and left, before Bill could say anything. Bill turned to Richie, "You know what that was about?" He asked.

Richie yawned, "I don't know." He said, "And I'm too tired to really care at the moment."

Bill nodded, "There's a pull-out bed in the sofa, just so you know." He said, as he headed to the other bedroom.

Richie grunted, as he stretched out on the sofa, "Nah, I'm good." He replied.

"Alrighty then." Bill said, then headed into the other bedroom.


Around nine o'clock the next morning, the Losers Club, minus Mike and Bill, were seated at a table in the hotel's cafe. They were just drinking their morning coffee, when Bill came up to them, "Morning, guys." He greeted, as he pulled up a chair.

Ben put down his mug, "Morning, Bill." He replied, then smiled, "So…we got back together to spend some time with some old friends. What's the plan?"

"I was thinking we could do something together." Bill explained, "Maybe convince Mike to come with us. He hasn't left Derry at all."

"That's a good idea." Beverly said, while she placed a bowl of oatmeal in front of her daughter, who greedily slurped it up, "Mike needs to get out of this place and you can all get to know little Maggie here."

"Mmm, good." Maggie muttered, as she picked up another spoonful of the oatmeal.

"She really likes that oatmeal." Bill said.

Richie scoffed, "It's probably the only thing that's any good in this town." He commented.

"Things are better here." Mike said, as he approached the group, "Especially now that It's dead."

"Hey, Mike." Bill greeted, "Pull up a chair. We were just discussing what to do as a group."

"Well, as long as it involves leaving Derry, I'm game." Mike said, as he sat down at the table, "Too many bad memories of this place. Only reason I've continued living here, while the rest of you left, was to keep an eye out for It. Now…the town is coming back together and…there's no need for me to be here anymore."

The Losers Club came up with ideas for what to do as a group. Some being vacations elsewhere and some being visits to theme parks or other major attractions. "I know." Ben said, after much deliberation over what to do, "How many of you like nature?"

"In what sense?" Richie asked.

"Enjoying the scenery, watching wildlife…" Ben said, then smirked, "An escape from civilization."

"Are you suggesting we go camping?" Bill asked, "The five of us?"

Maggie sputtered, then Bill chuckled, "Correction: The six of us?" He asked.

"Well, it's not a bad idea." Beverly chimed in, "I'm sure we can all take a couple weeks off from our busy lives."

"We can take the SUV that we have for our supplies and such." Ben added.

Bill nodded, "I've got a camper back home that we can use." He said.

"You have a camper?" Richie asked, "Since when?"

"Since I made money off of my first book." Bill answered, "Got it just in case."

"In case of what?" Mike asked.

"In case the populace wanted to lynch you for your bad endings?" Richie joked.

Bill chuckled nervously, "Right…" He muttered.

"Wait, was that the actual reason?" Richie asked, then chuckled after seeing Bill blush, "Oh, don't worry, Bill. Don't be so paranoid."

"So, where should we go?" Ben asked.

"I've heard Jasper is nice this time of year." Bill suggested.

Mike shook his head, "No, personally, I'd rather stay within the country." He said, "Also there's wolves."

"There's wolves everywhere, Mike." Beverly replied.

"Not in Sawtooth, Idaho." Mike pointed out, "They've tried relocating wolves there twice in the last two years. The first pair went quite well, the female was ready to pop with a new litter of puppies, but they disappeared mysteriously, while the second pair had somehow found their way back home in Jasper."

"Well, I guess Sawtooth it is then." Ben said, "In the state of a few billion potatoes."

"Where did that come from?" Richie asked.

Ben frowned, "I think it was from a children's movie." He explained, "I don't remember which though."

"Well, no matter." Bill said, "How about we meet up again in two weeks with everything we need?"

"Sounds like a plan." Mike said, "I don't have a way out of here, so how about we meet up again here?"

"Sure." Beverly said.

Two weeks later

The Losers Club had gathered everything they needed for their camping trip in the last two weeks, then met up again in Derry, Maine, and picked up Mike before continuing on to Sawtooth. Bill was driving his camper, while Richie and Mike tried to play a game of cards towards the back, despite all the bumps in the road. In front of them, leading their convoy, was Beverly and Ben in their SUV, where little Maggie was playing with the walkie-talkie that they were using to communicate with Bill.

"Maggie, Sweetie." Beverly said, softly, "Give Mommy the walkie-talkie."

Maggie obliged and handed her mother the communication device, "Thank you, Sweetheart." Beverly said, then held the walkie-talkie to her mouth, "Hey, Bill! You still back there?!"

Static crackled over the radio, until Bill's voice was heard, I hear you loud and clear, Bev. He said.

"We're almost to Sawtooth, Bill" Beverly said, "How are you holding up?"

Static crackled, then stopped, We're doing fine back here. Bill's voice replied.

Ha! I knew you had a two of clubs! Mike's voice shouted, You cheating bastard.

I would never cheat on my spouse. Richie's voice said, And it's only cheating if you get caught.

Just give me that two of clubs! Mike replied.

Keep it down back there! Bill's voice exclaimed, Sorry about that, Bev.

Ben chuckled, "That's alright, Bill." She replied, "At least they're enjoying themselves."

Hey, Bill! How much longer until we arrive?! Richie asked.

"We just passed the Sawtooth National Park sign." Ben said, "It'll be another thirty minutes yet."

"Did you hear that, Bill?" Beverly asked.

Yeah, I heard it. Bill answered, Thanks.

Thirty minutes later

The SUV pulled into a campsite and parked, while the camper followed behind and parked in its spot as well. Ben and Beverly got out of their vehicle with little Maggie, who started running around, while her parents grabbed their stuff from the back. Bill got out of the camper to help them, while Mike and Richie climbed out as well. Mike and Richie approached Ben and Beverly, who were setting up some chairs, "I'll take care of this." Richie said, "You can go spend time with your daughter."

"You're sure?" Beverly asked.

Richie chuckled, "Of course." He answered, "Maggie needs some time with her parents. She's looking quite lonely, playing tag by herself."

"Well, if you're sure if you can handle it without our help." Ben said.

"Don't worry about it, Ben." Richie replied, then turned to Mike, "How about you go with them. Maybe see if the coast is clear."

Mike sighed and shook his head, "I say it once…" He muttered, referring to his avoidance of wolves, "…and I'll never hear the end of it."

Richie chuckled, as he watched him head off onto a trail with Ben and Beverly, and their daughter, following behind him.


Shortly after the struggle Kate, Humphrey, and their pups had endured, while protecting the Royal Bears from the Rogues, the caribou herds had moved on from Jasper. As a result, the United Pack had to find a new home to live, where there was plenty of food to eat and plenty of space for them, especially for the next generation of pups. Kate and Humphrey decided to move the pack south to Sawtooth, Idaho, where they knew there weren't any other wolves in the area and plenty of food to go around.

The United Pack has been traveling for a couple weeks now, gradually making their way to Sawtooth. There were too many of them to take the train, so they were forced to travel by paw and traverse the Rocky Mountains, going through former Rogue territory in Banff. King had already been defeated a few months prior, but his followers still posed a few problems, while traversing the mountains.

Kate and Humphrey were now leading the United Pack through the final leg of their long journey and…

"Oh, give it a rest, Dad!" Stinky exclaimed.

"Yeah, we don't need you narrating everything." Claudette said, "Especially when we already know what's going on."

"Oh, come on!" Humphrey protested, "You love it when I narrate our journeys across the North American landscape."

"Erm, not this time, Dad." Runt said, "It gets annoying."

Humphrey looked over to his mate, "Kate, do you think…" He started, "Does my narrating get annoying at times?"

Kate widened her eyes, "Uhh, erm…" She stammered, unsure of what to tell her mate, then sighed, "Well…"

Humphrey cocked his head to the side in curiosity, waiting for her response, "Umm…" Kate muttered, then gasped, "Oh, look! We've arrived!"

Humphrey looked ahead to see the familiar mountains of Idaho from when he and Kate were relocated here. The United Pack found a good place to settle down that had suitable hills for dens and fields for the Alpha and Omega Schools. Members of the pack immediately started digging dens, marking the new territory, and hunting food. After a few hours, most of the dens were dug and the pack was feasting on their fresh kills of caribou. Kate and Humphrey stepped into the newly dug Alpha Den and laid down beside each other.

Kate nuzzled her mate, then sighed, as she leaned up against him, "Finally." She said, "The pack's problems are dealt with. No more starvation, no more fights, everything's good."

"Almost too good to be true." Humphrey commented.

Kate frowned, "What do you mean?" She asked.

"In my experience, Kate…" Humphrey explained, "…when something is as good as it is, there's usually something that will go wrong."

Kate moaned, as she pressed her pelt against Humphrey's, "Well, I guess in a matter of perspective…" She said, "…Claudette won't be seeing Fleet again. That may be something bad…for her."

Humphrey sighed, "Maybe we were too hard on her about Fleet." He said.

Kate shook her head, "We were just being protective." She replied, "She should be thankful that I'm not as protective as my mother was."

Humphrey frowned, "She still is." He said, "Lilly told me a few days ago that she's not letting her mate with Garth."

"I thought they just didn't want pups yet." Kate said, confused.

"Was that what Garth told you?" Humphrey asked, then chuckled, "Lilly explained that during the last mating season, Eve had personally tended to her, making sure no one…male, got to her. She watched her den like a hawk, while Winston brought them food and she escorted Lilly to the creek for a drink and to a bush for…well, you know."

"Well…I guess we're going to change that this year." Kate said.

"We?" Humphrey asked.

"Yes, we." Kate answered, "Think you could keep Mom away, while I work my magic with my sister and Garth?"

"Uhh…how?" Humphrey asked, "That preferably doesn't involve me being castrated by her."

Kate chuckled, "Don't you worry about that, Humphrey." She said, "I have an idea."

"Alright." Humphrey replied, "But just for the record, I'm only agreeing to this, because I trust you."

Kate smiled, "Thank you, Humphrey." She said, "By the way, do you know where the pups are?"


Stinky, Claudette, and Runt, were standing at the top of a hill, looking down the somewhat steep incline. They had come here to try something for the first time, something they usually did with their parents…until now.

"I don't know about this, Stinky." Claudette said, as her brothers positioned a log-sled at the top of the hill, "We don't know how to do this safely."

"We've done it with Dad many times." Stinky replied, "What's so different this time?"

"This time, Dad's not here to make sure we get to the bottom uninjured." Claudette explained, "We're also not strong enough to steer."

"Maybe not the larger ones that Mom and Dad use…" Stinky said, "…but this smaller one we can."

"I'm still unsure about this." Claudette replied, while Runt climbed into the log-sled.

Stinky shrugged, "Suit yourself." He said, "You can stay and watch."

"Um, guys?" Runt called, worriedly. Stinky and Claudette looked over to Runt, just time to see the log-sled move towards the edge and disappear from sight. They ran to the edge and looked down to see Runt zooming down the hill in the piece of bark. Runt was frozen with fear, as trees and boulders zoomed by.

He widened his eyes in shock, as he saw a boulder rapidly approaching. The log-sled hit the boulder, smashing it to pieces and sending Runt flying forwards, while he screamed.

Mike, Ben and Beverly, were walking along a trail a couple miles away from their campsite, when they heard a scream.

"What was that, Mommy?" Magge asked, who was walking beside her parents.

"I don't know, Sweetie." Beverly said, "…but stay close. Just in case."

Maggie took hold of her mother's hand and they continued walking until a gray wolf pup with blue eyes suddenly fell onto Mike, who instinctively grabbed the pup like he was catching a football. The group stared at the small wolf pup in surprise, while Runt shook his dizziness away.

Runt groaned, then realized a human was holding him and hesitantly looked up at Mike's face, "Uhh…" He stammered, "Hi."


A/N: What will happen next? Who will fall victim first? I don't know about you, but that always seems to be the theme these types of stories have, so… Anyway, I hope you liked how that turned out. Please Review!

BTW, I need ideas for possible fears that each pack member would have. Specifically, Kate, Humphrey, Stinky, Claudette, Runt, Lilly, and Garth, but Winston, Eve, Tony, and anyone else are appreciated as well. I'd like to see what you come up with, because I have no idea. Also, I will NOT be bringing in any of my OCs in this story.

Also, the first chapter for the A&O/Avengers crossover is finished, I just need to go back through and rewrite some parts to eliminate confusion and such. I'll post that next, once it's finished, hopefully by the end of this week, then I'll post A&O: BILY - Chapter 8. I have decided I'll finish it with 10 chapters, so that one should be finished within a week afterwards. After that, I'll write Secret Agent Humphrey: Hunted, for those of you who have been waiting for it, and post it in its entirety.

Another thing, I'm already running low on data this month, so I'm limiting my usage, but it won't last until my renewal on the 25th. I'll continue writing until then, but I won't be able to post anything after chapter 8 of A&O: BILY until the 25th. So, I should be posting SAH: Hunted (chapters 1 - 8) and A&O: BILY (chapters 9 & 10), 10 chapters in total. I also won't be able to respond to PMs or Reviews on the site, nor messages on Discord after chapter 8 is posted.

Till next time (whenever that is),
