"And lastly, Paul and Alissa, the bridge." Gabriela, the leader of the search group announced.

But Sophie, one of the members reacted, "But haven't we already looked over there a week ago?" Galaxy nodded at what she heard. This made Sophie glance at the girl beside her and shrugged, "She's right. Aren't we just wasting time?"

"We have to have a second look just to be sure."

Sophie and Galaxy looked at each other while the other members nodded. Alissa kept quiet beside Paul, even though she knew that whatever effort they did, no one would find the four other missing kids. They were left for oblivion since the demon clown already devoured their whole being,

Paul nudged her lightly, "Let's go." She nodded and followed him to her car.

Alissa was glad they took the car. Some wondered why they had to when the bridge was just 15 minutes away by foot from the area, but what they didn't know was that they were headed to a different place to scout. She was headed to the open field by an abandoned warehouse with Paul. That was their original plan.

He clambered out of the car after Alissa,

"What do you actually think you can gain from this?"

"What are you talking about?" She didn't even look at him and just kept walking to the warehouse out in the open field,

The place was deserted but it didn't even shake Alissa. She was determined to find It.

"If you do find It, what are you going to do?" Paul asked, knowing in his mind that she didn't even bring any sort of weapon. All she had in her hand was a flashlight, neither did she ask him to bring anything, "You don't even have a weapon."

Alissa took out a map from her jacket and shook it open. She held it from either sides, "The one with the red mark? That's where all the sewers meet. When I did my research, that's how they found It."

"So the warehouse?" Paul pretended to ask,

"Yeah." She kept walking again as he followed behind her.

Pennywise felt itself tremble a little. It was amused and intrigued about Alissa. The demon-alien did not know what was ahead, but it knew what it was going to do. If she resisted or became aggressive, he would devour her no doubt.

Yes, that's what It would do. No matter what It felt. The demon-alien could not possibly feel anything else but hunger and desire. It was anything but shallow. It knew that it is above the low creature it knows as humans.

It prepared itself as she got closer to the warehouse.

"There." Alissa aimed her flashlight to the large pipe opening, "I'm going in there to find It."

"Are you certain, Alissa?" Paul watched as she scanned the dark end of the pipe,

"I'm sure It lives here. If I go in there...he'll be bothered and that will surely force It out of It's habitat."

Paul stood behind her, "What are you going to do, then?"

"I'll face It. Whatever happens, I'll face It." She said without looking at Paul, still observing the large entrance, leaking what seems to be from the sewers. It disgusted Alissa, but she could not give a crap anymore. She was determined to find It.

She looked down at the leak and flashed light at it, "You stay here." She looked at Paul, "You alarm me if anyone comes."

Paul shook his head, "No."

"What?"

"I'll enter it. You stay here."

"What? No way that's happening."

"You never know, the clown might be running out scared of me."

Alissa grimaced. She knew that would be impossible. If anything, he'd die right away before even making a joke. "No offense, Paul, but you'd die before you can even laugh it off. Now, move-"

Paul grabbed her wrist making her look right up at him,

"Stay if I say so." He said and switched his flashlight on, pointing the light right under his chin. He grinned at her, "Now be a good girl." Paul walked away as Alissa kept her eyes at him,

As he stepped in, he twirled around with a smile, "Happy trails!" He shouted and started walking inside.

Alissa turned around and shook her head. She hated his guts and hated how he laughed at serious situations. But she knew it would be unfair for him to sacrifice himself just like that. She didn't want it to end this way. She was sure he'd die. This bothered her. Alissa looked at her phone and saw that it's only been a minute but it felt like an hour. She paced just outside. She was worried about Paul. He was awfully quiet in there.

But Pennywise worried about nothing. It was back in It's original form and it enjoyed the sigh of Alissa. It could smell her fear from afar. For once, it smelled fear, even just a little bit. It was ready to jump at her, to see her surprised when she finds out about the truth: how he's been Paul all along, how he's been alive, how he's been planning to eat her alive.

Pennywise stepped closer, preparing itself to show itself, when Alissa suddenly turned around and shouted for Paul. It watched her first, enjoying the sight of her fearing something,

"Paul! Answer me! Come back!"

She turned around and paced outside when she heard Paul's voice, "Alissa?"

She turned around again, "Paul come back outside! Right now! Y-you can't come in there. Let me go inside instead. I-it was a bad idea to get you into this." Her hands are on her head, "Paul! Hurry the fuck up! Outside! Right now!"

He wasn't responding and this scared her,

"Paul! Paul!"

"What's wrong?' Paul's voice echoed, but it sounded as if he was closer out of the dark,

Alissa kept pacing around, "I shouldn't have brought you here. I'm sorry. I just..." she shook her head, "I shouldn't have brought you out here! I just wanted to see Pennywise. I just wanted to see him. But that can't happen without you getting killed or hurt."

She looked away, "No offense, but you're a fucking dork and you're the kind that gets murdered in one hit. But I don't care! You can't die because of me. You didn't do anything. Who deserves to be killed are...are the kids that hurt other people. You never hurt me, although you annoyed the hell out of me, but that's nothing."

Alissa realized that she wasn't evil like she thought she was. How could she face the clown, pretending to be evil? It would smell her fakeness. She's not evil, she thought. She was just...daring. That's it, she thought, she's just daring and adventurous and curious. But she can't be all that if Paul's here. It might kill him. Because who is he, anyway? If Pennywise sets Its eyes on him, It would kill It.

She noticed he hasn't come out yet, "Paul! What the fuck? Where the hell are you? Don't mess around." She sneered and turned around, "What? You want me to go on with my speech?" She was hysterical now, "Fine! I-I only wanted to go here because I fucking miss the clown! Alright? I need to see the demon clown because I miss it. I miss it trailing behind me. But it looks like It's gone now because of me. It's gone because I failed to feed It, and now summer's over, and It's gone."

She sat on her ass on the grass and sighed, "Who the hell am I kidding? The clown isn't here anymore. It's gone. Forever. Because if It were still here, It would have appeared in front of me before I could even call It's name." She laughed in tears, "That's how clever It was. It was so clever It knew when to startle me. It was really impressive. And now...I can't get it off my head. I don't know why but I hate It so much that I want to see It again just to shout at It, or tease It, or-or something," she gulped, "I don't even want to hurt the clown. That's why I didn't bring anything with me. But I realized how stupid that decision was because that means It can hurt you. I'm so stupid for bringing you out here. Come out here, Paul. Please. Can you just fucking come out here? I...I..."

Alissa stopped herself from talking further, thinking maybe Paul's just laughing at her in the dark. But it was true. She had a strong need to see It again. And she realized she needed to see It, not only because she loved the feeling to be needed but because of how it felt to be given the power to have someone disappear into oblivion. But she kept this to herself for fear it would turn Paul against her. She decided not to tell. She kept quiet and panted, out of breath from her little speech.

Pennywise, still hiding in the dark hesitated. It knew that what It smelled was fear, but now, it was a concoction of need and passion and something else so strong, it hesitated to think out loud.

She heard foosteps coming from the large circular opening, and out came Paul. She looked up and he looked down at her pathetic ass.

"I'm sorry." She said quietly and he just looked at her, "Sorry for using you as bait."

He offered his hand and she took it to pull herself up. "Aren't you gonna say anything?"

"I heard what I had to hear." He said,

"What do you mean? You just sorta found out I'm crazy for wanting to see Pennywise in the flesh."

Pennywise knew that, but it also knew something. The demon-alien finally knew. It was clear. It had the answers it needed. Pennywise had the proof it needed to confirm is she was what It thought she was. The clown instantly knew it had to play as Paul for quite a while to be certain it wasn't just a coincidence. But it knew. It knew what the human girl was capable of.

"Let's go home." Paul said,

Alissa nodded and walked beside Paul as they head back to the car.
