Chapter 6
A nine-year old girl woke up in the chambers scared and confused. She looked around to see she was in a large chamber cage with closely tight bars and hard stone ground. She got up feeling dizzy from the effects of chloroform and noticed a silhouette of a boy sitting on a old broken chair with a bottle of chloroform and a white soaked towel. The light soon shined down on the back of the boy revealing a monroe shirt with white stripes, light brown hair and was covered in mud, grass, dirty water, and sewage stains all over him. Realization hit the girl as she recognized the boy. Happiness and joy filled her as she approached the tightly closed bars.
"HENRY! Oh thank god you're alright. Cmon we need to get out of here." the girl exclaimed.
Henry was silent in fact he didn't move at all. He just sat there staring into space. The girl grew worried and started to fear for the worse.
"H-Henry its me Betty Ripsom. Do you not recognize me?" She asked.
Again Henry didn't move or respond back to her. Tears started to form in Betty's eyes.
"Henry your father has been worried sick and thinks your dead, Georgie is missing, Edward and I have been praying for you to come home. Why aren't you answering me?" Betty teared up.
Henry was still silent, but after a few moments, he stood up with his head down not looking at Betty.
"My job is to serve... My job is to obey... My job is to make sure that my master's needs are provided." Henry spoke.
Betty looked confused at what Henry said. He then turned around revealed his white demonic eyes and razor sharp teeth. He approached the chamber bars looking down at Betty.
"H-Henry what did he do to you?" Betty stammered.
"The spell commands me to serve one person and right now he has commanded me to make sure you don't get out." Henry snarled.
"Henry I know your're still in there. Please come back to me." Betty pleaded.
"The spell awakens his obedient side which happens to be me. Henry is gone." he said coldly.
Henry turned away and walked towards the old broken chair and sat down. Betty's head was down crying that the fact Henry was gone and he was never coming back.
Meanwhile
Bill was shocked and overjoyed to hear that Georgie was awake and well. He hanged up the telephone and ran to the bottom of the stairs. Mike, Stanly, Ben, and Richie were still talking about the situation until they saw Bill running towards the stairs.
"GRANDMA! Georgie is a-a-awake." Bill shouted.
The boys were shocked and soon got off the couch. Bill's grandmother rushed out the bathroom door.
"Alright i'll meet you at the hospital" she rasped.
"So will we." Mike said.
Bill nodded and soon his father pulled up in the driveway. Bill rushed out of the door with his friends behind as he got in the car and the both drove off. Ben, Richie, Mike, and Stanly rode on their bikes following Bill and his father. When they arrived at the hospital, Bill ran to Georgie's room with his father behind him. He then stopped and approached the door. His mom was standing next to Georgie comforting him as he had his hands on his head trying make the headache he had go away. Bill entered the room silently and approached Georgie's bed however, he was in too much pain to notice him or even hear him.
"Mom what happened?" Bill asked.
"Your father and I have been with him all night. He didn't move or even turned when he was asleep. When it was morning, Georgie's head started to twitch a bit than he opened his eyes slowly. He slowly got up and looked around than he saw us. He knew who we were than we came and gave him a lot of hugs and kisses. Georgie than started complaining about feeling tired and having a huge headache. The doctor gave him some medicine to help heal the pain." his mother explained.
"What did the d-d-doctor say about Georgie?" Bill asked.
"Well for some reason there are no drugs in his system, no evidence of sexual assault, and no physical injuries that suggest he was abused." his mother answered.
"How is that possible?" Bill wondered.
After a few moments, Georgie looked at Bill filled with relief.
"BILLY!" Georgie whelped with joy.
He and Bill embraced in a touching hug never letting go of each other anymore. Georgie thought he could feel tears on his back like if his brother was crying.
"Bill are you crying?" Georgie asked.
"No th-th-there're just tears of joy that's all" Bill teared up.
Their father, Mike, Ben, Richie, and Stanly entered the room and approached the bed.
"Mike, Ben, Richie, Stanly!" Georgie greeted.
Georgie gave each boy a hug including his father.
"Hey Georgie how are you?" Mike asked.
"I'm fine the headache's going away." Georgie responded.
"That's good." Mike said.
Georgie realized that Bill was cured from his sickness, and that Eddie and Beverly weren't here.
"Billy your're cured." Georgie spoke overjoyed.
Bill was surprised. Did Georgie not know how long he has been missing? Everyone else took notice of this as well.
"Georgie do you know the l-l-last thing you r-r-remember?" Bill asked concerned.
Georgie thought about it for a few moments. Than looked at Bill.
"The last thing I remember was trying to get my boat back. It fell into the storm drain and I must've fell in and hit my head." Georgie answered.
Bill knew Georgie was lying, but didn't question about it. A doctor called their mother and father out of the room. Their grandmother approached the bed and Georgie gave a big hug.
"Grandma your here." Georgie greeted.
"Yes now if you excuse me, i'm going to take a nap." she said sternly.
She then walked over to a chair, closed her eyes and rest. Bill looked at Georgie with a serious look
"Georgie w-w-why are l-l-lying to me?" Bill asked.
Georgie was silent for a few moments. He then looked at Bill.
"Bill what i'm about to tell you is going to sound crazy." Georgie spoke.
"Hey whatever happens, you can tell us." Mike assured him.
Everyone else nodded in agreement. Georgie finally felt assured enough to tell them.
"Bill I wasn't lying when I said the boat fell into the storm drain however, when I tried to get it back, a clown.
" A CLOWN?!" the group said.
"Okay so he spoke with a clown and maybe he was the one that took you." Richie suggested.
"You're right about that, but there's one problem to it." Georgie said.
"And what is that?" Ben asked.
"The clown is not human."
