(This chapter is going to focus on the interaction of the Losers Club and El. Hope you enjoy!)
Derry, Maine
El followed the Losers out of the woods, and she was silent the entire way.
"What is your favorite color?," Bev asked trying to make small talk.
"Pink," El said immediately.
"That's cool," Bev said. The boys were listening to Bev try and talk to El.
"Who's Mike?," Richie asked.
Everyone stopped walking, and turned their heads toward El. They were just as curious as Richie was.
"Friend," El said shortly. She remembered what that word meant.
"I have a cousin named Mike, but I haven't seen him in a long time," Richie said.
Everyone resumed walking, and headed to a place called the 'Barrens.'
"I like your hair," El said randomly to Bev.
"Oh, thanks," Bev said. A random thought came to Bev's mind. She doesn't even know our names.
"I'm Beverly. This is Bill, Stan, Mike, Richie, Eddie, Ben," Bev said.
"You look like you've been through hell," Stan said.
"Y-you can c-come to m-my house, t-to clean u-up y-you know?," Bill stuttered and turned red.
A look passed over Bev's face, but it was gone as soon as it came.
"Ok," El said quietly.
They decided to sit for a while, but their peaceful time was interuppted by none other than Bowers himself.
"Well if it isn't the Losers Club," Henry said.
"Oh shit," Richie groaned. The boy who El had pushed away, had come out of the woods.
His eyes scanned the whole group. He gave a disgusting smile to Beverly, and finally his eyes fell on El.
"And look it's that bitch!," Henry said referring to El. She didn't know what 'bitch' meant, but she could tell by the tone of his voice that it wasn't good.
El tensed. Henry started to cross the river, and started to make his way toward El.
Everyone was still, and anxious. They didn't know what Henry was going to do. El didn't like this mouthbreather at all.
Henry made it across the river. He looked furious, and was seeking revenge. This girl embarassed him in front of the school. He was not going to let her off easily.
The Losers Club wanted to protect this mysterious girl, even though they just met her.
Henry and his gang surrounded the girl. She was scared, but she tried not to show it.
Belch and Patrick grabbed her by the arms, and her powers kicked in.
El screamed, and the four boys were all pushed back very far.
The Losers Club was staring at her, shocked at what they saw.
Henry and the three boys got up slowly, they were scared. So they ran.
El took one look at the Losers, before she fell to the ground unconsious.
Bill's Garage
Mike carried El all the way to the Denbrough's house.
When the Losers arrived to the garage, Stan was the first one who asked, "What the hell just happened?"
The Losers didn't have a reply, they just stared at the girl's unconsious form. They all noticed the blood coming from her nose.
"We need to get her food, and clean her up," Eddie said.
"Eddie's right," Beverly said.
"I-i can m-make her s-omething to e-eat," Bill said.
"I'll help you," Beverly suggested.
Bev and Bill left the garage to go to the kitchen.
That left Ben, Stan, Mike, Eddie, and Richie in the room with El.
"How do you think she did that?," Mike asked.
"I don't know, but it was fucking awesome," Richie said while laughing.
Stan, Mike, Ben, Eddie, and Richie were all in discussion about El, when Bev and Bill came back.
They had a bowl of Mac cheese, and a class of water. El was still unconsious when they got back, but not for long.
She woke up with a gasp, and everyone in the room jumped.
"Its ok," Mike said.
El settled down once she saw the Losers Club.
"We brought you some food," Beverly said holding the bowl out to El.
El took the plate, and stared at the unknown food. She got this feeling at the pit of her stomach, but she couldn't find the words to describe it.
She felt ashamed, because she didn't know what the food was, and she only met this people today. I wish Mike was here. He would always explain things, and not make me feel ashamed.She finally started to eat. She was getting energized, and it felt good.
"How did you do that to Henry?," Ben asked. All the Losers were thinking it.
El just looked off into the distance. She was thinking about Mike.
All she could respond with was a shrug. The Losers decided to drop it for now. Richie amd Eddie were sitting on either side of her.
El looked to Richie, and studied his face. El couldn't place a word for the thing on his face, but she reached up to grab them.
The whole group froze. El took Richie's glasses, and slided them off his face.
El gasped. He looked so much like Mike. Her Mike.
