The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself
Chapter 7!!!
(flashback)I stood there and just looked at Richie.His face went pale"What happened?Did someone get murdered?Are u ok?"Richie looked me all over.I shook my head"Im fine...physically Richie...I just..I wanted to make sure you can see this too and it's not just me going crazy..Richie im terrified...please...protect me"i said as i started to cry"Hey good lookin...I will always protect you.I will always be here for you...come here"he said pulling me in a tight hug.I held him tight"Its ok"He said rubbing my back"Hey look at me"Richie said.I looked up"I'll help u clean"He said smiling.I sigh nodding"No better yet,I'll clean it.U have seen enough" Richie said kissing my cheek and sitting me on the toilet.Obviously both seats were down.Richie began to clean up the blood(end flash)"I guess I was relieved that he saw it.It was so strange to be happy about something so grim.I was just glad he saw it...I was glad I showed Richie first because I didnt feel as safe with anyone as I did with him"I said holding Richie's hand tight"The feelings mutual good lookin"Richie said gently kissing my lips.I smile"It was then I realized...even though I was just a kid..I knew what i felt and I fell in love with Richie...I knew I'd never be in harms way with him around.I know it's hard to believe at 13 but I felt it for sure because the day he cleaned it for me..it never came back"i said smiling.Mike walked away to the window"It'll be morning soon"Im cold"Bev said"Same here sis"I said shivering again"I'll get you something"Richie said"I'll go with you.I wanna grab my note book"I said smiling as I got up"Dont be too long you two"Bill said smirking"We would never!"I said with wide eyes"I would"Richie said smirking but I smacked his arm and he laughed.I got to my room and Richie closed the door"Jess"He said"Nooo no no no no no!Richie no!We cant.We have to keep focused or he'll get us.We have plenty of time for that AFTER we survive ok?"I said but gasped as he began to kiss my neck"Just for a few minutes I swear on it"Richie said as he pushed me down on the bed.I gasped as he began to grope my left breast"Richieee"I tried to fight but it was a pretty weak defence"Relax"he said and kissed me.I gave in...kissing back and soon he was grinding against me"Ahh Richie we have to stop or this is going to escalate"I said moaning"I dont wanna stop.Jess we can have sex real quick.It's way over due"Richie said kissing my neck.He began to pull my shirt up"Richie I said no!"I said pushing him off but gasped as I saw it was the clown"Richie!"I yelled and Richie came in"I thought you were right behind me!"he said but I looked arond and saw no one"What happened?"He asked as I clung to him"IT!"I said crying"Shh its ok good lookin.Im here.Im so sorry"Richie said kissing me.He wrapped my blanket around me and I grabbed my note book with a pencil"Whats in that any ways?"he asked"My songs"I said still freaked out but then I heard a glass of some type being broken in Mike's room.We rushed in there,Ben Richie,Eddie and I and saw Henry Bowers!He was ontop of Mike with a blade trying to kill him!We busted open the door and Eddie,Richie and Ben pulled him off...but Henry stabbed hisself in the chest.Then Henry looked like he died and Mike was hacking...I gasped"Mike!"I said with concern.Eddie and I looked him over.He had been stabbed and blacked out.After that we ALL rushed to the hospital to take care of Mike.Ben and Bev were outside while Eddie,Richie Bill and I were inside.I was still tearing up as Richie held me.I pushed myself away and sat in a seat and began to write furiously"Whats she doin?"Bill asked Richie"I-I dont know she just sat down without a word and started to write she must have a song in her mind""I do!Remember what my mother said?Fear is Only in our minds.Taking over all the time.Thats the fear we must over come and face it head on"I said and smile"I think I've come up with a song to make myself feel...stronger"I said and finally I finished"There"I said smiling. Richie, Eddie and Bill walked up to me"Do you have the tune yet?"Eddie asked"Yeah...I think I'll test it now"I said smiling.I looked at the song and let a breath of air out to relax my nerves and then I sang
"It's true, we're all a little insane.
But it's so clear,
Now that I'm unchained.
Fear is only in our minds,
Taking over all the time.
Fear is only in our minds
but it's taking over all the time__________________________________
You poor sweet innocent thing.
Dry your eyes and testify.
You know you live to break me.
Don't deny sweet sacrifice
One day
I'm gonna forget your name,
And one sweet day,
you're gonna drown in my lost pain.
Fear is only in our minds,
Taking over all the time.
Fear is only in our minds
but it's taking over all the time____________________________
You poor sweet innocent thing.
Dry your eyes and testify.
And oh you love to hate me, don't you, honey?
I'm your sacrifice____________________________
(I dream in darkness
I sleep to die,
Erase the silence,
Erase my life.)
Do you wonder why you hate? (Our burning ashes,
Blacken the day)
Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes? (A world of nothingness,
Blow me away.)
You poor sweet innocent thing.
Dry your eyes and testify.
You know you live to break me.
Don't deny.
Sweet sacrifice"
I finished and the guys' jaws were all dropped"And you just came up with that?"Richie asked"Yep I think I did good"I said smiling"You did!It's amazing"Bill said.I smile"Thanks guys.I feel better after singing that out"I said standing up and closing my note book.Then the doctor came to us and said Mike was going to be ok.Everyone came in now"Can we see him?"Bev asked"He's not out of the woods yet but I guess one of you could go see him"The doctor said "Bill go"I said.He nodded and went in the room.We waited silently for Bill to come back out and after a bit he did.We went back to the hotel to take care of Henry Bowers"People that is a dead body.You're not seriously suggesting we leave it there and walk out of here"Ben said.I didnt want to leave either but I was scarred to death..we were just regular people...did we even stand a chance now that we're older?"Thats what I was suggesting"Bill said"I think we outta call the police"Eddie said.I scoffed"And that will accomplish what?"I said putting more clothes in my suit case"I think Eddie's right"Richie said.I rolled my eyes"And then we'll be in the nut house like Henry was"I argued"You dont understand.This whole town is in it some way.All of them"Bill said.I thought about Mr.Ross and stopped"Bills right!if we get the town involved something bad will happen to us,all of us"I said angrily.Eddie looked really upset"Alright have it your way.Stan is dead,Mike came close.I've seen enough"Eddie said"Im with you boy"Richie said"Im staying"I said"No you're not"Richie said"And so you're the boss of me now tough guy?"I said standing up to Richie,getting in his face"Yeah for now I am.Atleast until I make sure I get you out of this damn place because I refuse to leave you behind and let you get killed.If I have to force you with me I will.Im not letting you go on some suicide mission!" he said angrily.My eyes widened"Jess..I..I lost you once ok?I'm not losing you forever"Richie said gently touching my cheek.I sighed"Richie....we cant put this behind us like that"I said"Excuse me I am a little old for monster hunting Jess!"Eddie argued"So you let it haunt you for the rest of your life?!I wont!I want to live the small amount of life I have left!"I said angrily"I agree"Bill said"What about Mike Jess?!"Eddie said"Or Stan?"Richie said.I was forgetting all that I was taught about my anger"Ben?"I said angrily"I dont know...all I know is I cant stay in this room much longer.I suggest we just turn on the tv and hang a do not disturb sign on the door,go outside and then figure out what to do"Ben said.I shook my head"I second that"Bev said.I looked at Richie.He only sighed and pulled me close,kissing my tempol"Come on"he said"Wait"I said and turned on the tv.I sigh walking into Richie's open arm,where he put his arm over my shoulder but as we went to leave I stopped...the news was talking about a missing girl...I looked at her and a tear fell..she looked like me.. alot.."Richie"i said starring.He sighed"Jess she's not-"I gasped hearing her bodie was severely mutulated"But-but-""Come on Jess...you shouldnt be seein this"Richie said"Richie!What if that was our daughter!Would you turn your back on her then!"I said angrily"But she isnt!She's just some child that I dont know!"He argued"When did you become so heartless!What happened to the Richie I loved!The one who was so concerned about everyone!Who always like to make anyone who was sad smile!"I said tearing up"He grew up!..Jess...I dont want to fight with you..I just wanna get the heck out of here..with you.I want to make up for lost times and have atleast one child with you before you cant have them any more"Richie said holding me close.I let afew more tears fall and nodded"Ok...we'll go for that sole reason ok?"I said.He sighed kissing me deeply"Ok"He said and we left.I gave the picture of the girl on the screen 1 last look before closing the door.We caught up with the others and all went outside..but we lost Bill inside..what was he doing?I noticed Richie's nice red car"You driving in yours?"He asked"Eh, it was a rental"I said shrugging.Bill came out finally as I was putting my luggage in Richie's trunk.We all stopped to look at him"Need a ride Bill?"Richie asked"Where you going Richie?"Bill asked"Airport obviously"I said with a sad smile"I guess we are too"Ben said to him "Come with us"Bev said gently.Eddie was riding with us to the airport"I just saw something.And I have no idea if it was real.Or if any of u would have seen it or not.I cant go.Because if I do I'm gonna live with this until I go insane.Till I cant tell the differance between my life and my nightmares.And for years I've been getting payed to scare people but I'm the one who's been scarred...all my life.I dont wanna be scarred anymore....Im goin back in.This time Im gonna kill it"Bill said...then the memories of all of us as kids...when Bill begged us to help him end it.Help him get Pennywise..I saw Bev go to him.I nodded letting go of Richie's hand and going to Bill.I hugged him after Bev did.Ben followed,then Eddie...I looked at Richie"Richie...please"I said holding out my hand.He sighed and hugged me.We all sort of group hugged.We were a family after all.After that,we drove to the site in Richie's car.I thankfully,was dressed in tight skinny jeans; black.Boots,and a comfortable T-shirt with a black hoodie"I dont suppose anyone thought to bring anything useful like a machine gun"Richie said"I brought this,it's the only thing I saved"I said digging through my suit case and found my sling shot"Ha, me too"Bev said pulling hers out from her suit case.I smile"Nice"I said"Ahh the Marsh sisters.Best shot in are club"Ben said"And we thought it was supposed to be the girls remember"Richie said with a smirk.I smirk back"And they both hit Pennywise and his skull broke open"Ben said"And underneath it was a light"I said putting my slingshot in my back pocket"Bright lights"Eddie said"Dead lights"Bill said"We saw em too for a second...ladies"we looked at Bill and gasped seeing the stones"Bill how did-""It was Mike.He went back down and got em.Hold on to them tight"Bill said dropping one in each of our hands.I starred at it in awe"We're all here now"Ben said as we smile but Richie wasnt convinced"Oh come on guys what the hell are you gonna do now?Sing Kumbaya?Wake up.Take a breath.You smell that?That's death.Its not for Mike,it's not for Stan,it's not for Henry Bowers it's for us.Its in the air.Losers fight IT.Losers die.And you know that dont you captain"Richie said.I sighed looking at Bill"Richie-""No.It's ok.We shouldnt force him....Richie....if you dont want to go you dont have to...just know I'm going and I'll be ok.Watch the car ok?You dont have to do this"I said touching his cheek gently"Right...I didnt have to get on a plan from LA I didnt have to go to dinner I sure as hell didnt have to come out here and now I dont have to go in with you...."Richie said.I felt bad because he was scarred...I didnt blame him. He was always stubborn...a stubborn Irish kid that I loved.I smile"I love you...we've got eachother's backs"I said kissing his lips gently.He kissed back then sighed"I still say we should have brought a machine gun"He said.I enlaced my hand with his"You'll be ok"I said and so we began to walk until we finally got to the sewer place.I held Richie's hand tighter.We reached the spot where we went down the hole to the sewer again"Man I remember the first thing I saw down here was one of those damn pom poms"Ben said but we all stopped seeing some red purse"This purse looks new"I said with curiosity"Oh my god" Bill said"Bill?"Bev asked"Its not possible"Bill said digging through the purse"Oh god...she's down here...IT's got her"Bill said and rushed off.We all followed after him"Bill wait damn it!"Ben said but he kept running.Eventually we caught up with him sitting,he was having a mental breakdown"It was m-my f-fault. Sh-she f-f-followed me.Its m-my fault-""No!Ok?If she's down here maybe theres still time save her"I said trying to comfort him"You know what we came down here for and we're going to do it.Now we need you!We need u to stand up for us like before or we're never going to get out of here"Bev said fiercely. Bill looked at all of us then nodded.We helped him up"Stay close together"Bill said and we nodded following him.I held Richie's hand tightly.We kept walkin but Ben stopped"It looks like we're off the map"he said"That way"Eddie pointed and we began to go left.We walked down the leakey dark tunnel until we got to the center"We're here"Eddie said.We looked around and started talking about what we remembered from this room"Then IT came..."I said"Dear god please dont let these things come to life"Eddie said"Dont you even think that spaghetti man"Richie said"I told you not to call me spaghetti man"Eddie said but Bill starred in a certain direction"Something is coming"Bill said then we saw some tiny little paper sail boat.Bill picked it up and then looked up seeing Georgie"My boat"He said"Georgie"Bill said"Its all your fault"the boy said"Aww Georgie"Bill said hurt"All your fault Bill.You sent me out and IT killed me"the boy said"No.No Georgie.I-I didnt know"Bill said"Bill remember thats not Georgie.Remember.Fight it"Bev said"It was in the drain Bill...it was in the drain.And you let it kill me"Georgie said"No.I-I loved you"Bill said"Bill come on!Snap out of it!"I said"Damn it Bill thats not your brother!"Ben said"Come on man, fight it"Eddie said.Bill exhaled"You're...not Georgie.Gerorgie's dead.And it's my fault"Bill said..and then the boy disappeared"Lets see you now.Show yourself.You killed my little brother......and now you're gonna pay"Bill said looking around.Then we heard a growl"Go!While you still can.This is your last chance!"I heard the voice of IT...I gulped and got close to Richie.He wrapped his arms around me protectively"Show yourself"Bill said..."Silly boy.You still think you can see..me?"I saw a transparent form of IT on the wall.IT laughed"You'll never see me.You'll only see what your little mind allows.Go!Now..for if you stay...you'll lose your little mind....in my dead lights...like all the others"IT laughed"Like allll the others"he said and broke into hysterical laughter.Then disappeared but his laughter remained"Bill we cant fight that thing.That's like fighting smoke"Richie said"Dont you understand what Mike was trying to tell us?It feeds Richie..it wakes up every 30 years and it feeds.And in order for it to feed it has to take on some physical form.Its here.Down here..somewhere" Bill said and set the boat back down.It began to sail in a direction and Bill followed it.Soon we were all following Bill.It went off the sewer trail in into a water trail where rocks were but we went on until we reached a big cave where there were bones lying around..human bones..and there was a door"Fee Fi Fo Fum"Richie said breaking the silence"You think we're strong enough?"Bill asked"We have to be"I said and we were going to walk but Eddie spoke"I have to tell u guys something...""Eddie?"Bev questioned"Ive been lying""About what?"Ben asked"When I said I was seeing someone?But Im not..infact I havent ever.I mean I've never even been with anyone"Eddie said in a cracked voice"Eddie what are u sayin?You're a virgin?"Richie asked"Yeah"Eddie said"Well I cant help you with that pal"Richie said"Oh!I can!"I said"What?!"Eddie and Richie said"No!!My make up artist!She's all nerdy and quiet and shy and she's never been layed before either!I was gonna ask if you wanted me too hook you two up but then you said you were seeing-""No!...let me get this out first jess"Eddie said.I went to him and hugged him"I got chya"I said sympathetically.He sniffled"You see...I could never sleep withsome..I didnt love...and I've never really loved anyone....accept you guys"Eddie said then began to cry.I hugged him tightly"Eddie...maybe I will hook you up.I think you need a woman other then you mom...come on I'll hook you up with a nice apartment too.You need to get away from your mom hon"I said.Eddie smiled and nodded"Ok..I'll take you up on that offer..but only because you're offering"Eddie said.I smile"Atta boy"I said and we began to walk twords the door.It was a very small door so when Bill opened it we all had to crouch down just to go in.There,was an even BIGGER CAVE.You could hear the draft in the cave.We shown our flash lights in all directions.I again,held Richie's hand"Richie"I said"Yeah?"He asked"If we make it out of this..who's house are we living at?"I asked.He looked at me then smirked"Mine.Warm weather and a pool.Nuff said"He said and I nodd"Ok sounds good..just needed something to keep me walking"I said and walked on.We looked up and saw a bunch of wadded things in cobweb..but what was in the cobweb we couldnt figure out....then Bill shined a light and we saw a woman!Bill then ran off"Bill for god's sake"Bev said going after him"It's Audra.Im gonna get her"Bill said climbing through the webs but he stopped seeing a BIG spider.I gasped and began to hypervenelate"Richie get Jess back"Bev said.Richie pulled me back and made me look at him"Hey good lookin its ok.I wont let that thing touch u ok?"Richie said.I nodded"Its so-so freakin big!"I said as I shook"I know but the bigger they are the harder they fall ok?Ive got you"Richie said kissing my head.Bill pushed Bev and she shot the metal piece and MISSED"Jess!You have to!"Bill said to me"NO!I CANT!"I said sobbing but Eddie and Richie pulled me up"Listen to me I'll be right next to you!But you have to shoot!"Richie said"NOO!!!"i said crying"Please Jess!"Bev said.I shook with fear and swallowed hard then put the silver piece in the sling shot.I closed my eyes"Fear is only in my mind....taking over all the time"I gasped hearing its roar"Fear is only in my mind and its taking over all the time"I sang and then shot it.I hit it but it bounced off like it was nothing.My eyes widened"What?!"I said in shock but then it flew up and there was it's Dead Lights.Bill was entranced by the Dead Lights"It's taking him!"Ben said and ran over to Bill but stopped seeing the Lights himself.Richie went"No!Dont go!It'll lure you in Richie!"I said but he looked at me"I gotta help them!"Richie said and ran to them"NO!"I said as Bev held me.He was entranced too...Bev didnt know what to do...I growled and tugged at Bev"Lets go!"I said climbing up the rock"Where?!"Bev said"To find the silver pieces!"I said as Eddie followed behind us but then he got lured into the light"Shit"I mumbled seeing IT pick up Eddie.It was going to kill him"Hurry up!"I yelled to Bev and we searched for the piece"I got one!"Bev said.I bit my lip trying to find the other..I then did find it"Lets go!Hurry!"I said and she nodded as we ran to IT we got back to them all and I looked at Bev and nodded"Please god.Dont fail me again"Bev said and as hard as it was, we didnt look at the Dead Lights and shot the pieces at IT.IT dropped Eddie and the others were set free from the trance.They checked on Eddie because he was knocked out.Bev and I ran over"You guys are idiots!Next time I say DONT go!Then DONT GO!"I said angrily as I hugged Richie.I kissed him"Were you that worried?"Richie said"YES!"I said angrily"Nice shot you two"Eddie said waking up.I smile at him"Dont talk.You're
gonna be fine spaghetti"Richie said with agony"Richie please....for the last time dont call me that...you know how I hate it..."the light in his eyes left"No..no no no no no"I said as tears fell"Eddie"Bev said softly."Eddie.."I said crying more.Richie put his arm around me as I cried.We all looked at eachother and then looked at the direction IT went.I glared"I'll kill him"I said and got up"Wait"Bev said.I stopped and looked back"We're coming with you"She said.They all nodded and I nodded back.We followed to where it went.We saw it just stop and rest but we all ran up to it and started to beat the fuck out of IT's dead lights until finally we ripped out IT's heart.The Lights faded and IT was dead.Bill stopped"Audra"He said and went back to the other room.We followed and saw all the bodies dropping"Its all coming down"Bev said"Wonder who's in all this"I said.Bill got to the woman he called Audra.She looked dead though.... We got out of there with Eddie's body, and Audra's body.She was alive,but she wasnt responding.....
(Epilouge)So after that it was finally over.Richie and i were shortly married FINALLY.And I was due for a baby.The doctor said this would probably be my first and last baby.I was fine with that.For the mean time, Richie and I were doing shows together.I would open for him and he would come do his comedy and occasionally I would write songs on my guitar so he could do comedy songs which a lot of them were funny.And what do ya know,we got asked to be in a movie together and in our wishes, one of the guys looks a lot like Eddie.We grew old together,young enough to watch our baby boy go off to college when it came for that.Bev and Ben were married too and they had a girl.We were closely in touch.Another curse broken in my opinion.Bill snapped his wife out of it and they were happy in love again.They went back to the country.Mike healed and wrote down his story so he doesnt forget his memories.We all meet up once a year to memorate Eddie and Stan.And of course see whats up with our family.And thats how it was....no more nightmares.Ever again...
the end!

I finished and the guys' jaws were all dropped"And you just came up with that?"Richie asked"Yep I think I did good"I said smiling"You did!It's amazing"Bill said.I smile"Thanks guys.I feel better after singing that out"I said standing up and closing my note book.Then the doctor came to us and said Mike was going to be ok.Everyone came in now"Can we see him?"Bev asked"He's not out of the woods yet but I guess one of you could go see him"The doctor said "Bill go"I said.He nodded and went in the room.We waited silently for Bill to come back out and after a bit he did.We went back to the hotel to take care of Henry Bowers"People that is a dead body.You're not seriously suggesting we leave it there and walk out of here"Ben said.I didnt want to leave either but I was scarred to death..we were

shouldnt force him....Richie....if you dont want to go you dont have to...just know I'm going and I'll be ok.Watch the car ok?You dont have to do this"I said touching his cheek gently"Right...I didnt have to get on a plan from LA I didnt have to go to dinner I sure as hell didnt have to come out here and now I dont have to go in with you...."Richie said.I felt bad because he was scarred...I didnt blame him. He was always stubborn...a stubborn Irish kid that I loved.I smile"I love you...we've got eachother's backs"I said kissing his lips gently.He kissed back then sighed"I still say we should have brought a machine gun"He said.I enlaced my hand with his"You'll be ok"I said and so we began to walk until we finally got to the sewer place.I held Richie's hand tighter.We reached the spot where we went down the hole to the sewer again"Man I remember the first thing I saw down here was one of those damn pom poms"Ben said but we all stopped seeing some red purse"This purse looks new"I said with curiosity"Oh my god" Bill said"Bill?"Bev asked"Its not possible"Bill said digging through the purse"Oh god...she's down here...IT's got her"Bill said and rushed off.We all followed after him"Bill wait damn it!"Ben said but he kept running.Eventually we caught up with him sitting,he was having a mental breakdown"It was m-my f-fault. Sh-she f-f-followed me.Its m-my fault-""No!Ok?If she's down here maybe theres still time save her"I said trying to comfort him"You know what we came down here for and we're going to do it.Now we need you!We need u to stand up for us like before or we're never going to get out of here"Bev said fiercely. Bill looked at all of us then nodded.We helped him up"Stay close together"Bill said and we nodded following him.I held Richie's hand tightly.We kept walkin but Ben stopped"It looks like we're off the map"he said"That way"Eddie pointed and we began to go left.We walked down the leakey dark tunnel until we got to the center"We're here"Eddie said.We looked around and started talking about what we remembered from this room"Then IT came..."I said"Dear god please dont let these things come to life"Eddie said"Dont you even think that spaghetti man"Richie said"I told you not to call me spaghetti man"Eddie said but Bill starred in a certain direction"Something is coming"Bill said then we saw some tiny little paper sail boat.Bill picked it up and then looked up seeing Georgie"My boat"He said"Georgie"Bill said"Its all your fault"the boy said"Aww Georgie"Bill said hurt"All your fault Bill.You sent me out and IT killed me"the boy said"No.No Georgie.I-I didnt know"Bill said"Bill remember thats not Georgie.Remember.Fight it"Bev said"It was in the drain Bill...it was in the drain.And you let it kill me"Georgie said"No.I-I loved you"Bill said"Bill come on!Snap out of it!"I said"Damn it Bill thats not your brother!"Ben said"Come on man, fight it"Eddie said.Bill exhaled"You're...not Georgie.Gerorgie's dead.And it's my fault"Bill said..and then the boy disappeared"Lets see you now.Show yourself.You killed my little brother......and now you're gonna pay"Bill said looking around.Then we heard a growl"Go!While you still can.This is your last chance!"I heard the voice of IT...I gulped and got close to Richie.He wrapped his arms around me protectively"Show yourself"Bill said..."Silly boy.You still think you can see..me?"I saw a transparent form of IT on the wall.IT laughed"You'll never see me.You'll only see what your little mind allows.Go!Now..for if you stay...you'll lose your little mind....in my dead lights...like all the others"IT laughed"Like allll the others"he said and broke into hysterical laughter.Then disappeared but his laughter remained"Bill we cant fight that thing.That's like fighting smoke"Richie said"Dont you understand what Mike was trying to tell us?It feeds Richie..it wakes up every 30 years and it feeds.And in order for it to feed it has to take on some physical form.Its here.Down here..somewhere" Bill said and set the boat back down.It began to sail in a direction and Bill followed it.Soon we were all following Bill.It went off the sewer trail in into a water trail where rocks were but we went on until we reached a big cave where there were bones lying around..human bones..and there was a door"Fee Fi Fo Fum"Richie said breaking the silence"You think we're strong enough?"Bill asked"We have to be"I said and we were going to walk but Eddie spoke"I have to tell u guys something...""Eddie?"Bev questioned"Ive been lying""About what?"Ben asked"When I said I was seeing someone?But Im not..infact I havent ever.I mean I've never even been with anyone"Eddie said in a cracked voice"Eddie what are u sayin?You're a virgin?"Richie asked"Yeah"Eddie said"Well I cant help you with that pal"Richie said"Oh!I can!"I said"What?!"Eddie and Richie said"No!!My make up artist!She's all nerdy and quiet and shy and she's never been layed before either!I was gonna ask if you wanted me too hook you two up but then you said you were seeing-""No!...let me get this out first jess"Eddie said.I went to him and hugged him"I got chya"I said sympathetically.He sniffled"You see...I could never sleep withsome..I didnt love...and I've never really loved anyone....accept you guys"Eddie said then began to cry.I hugged him tightly"Eddie...maybe I will hook you up.I think you need a woman other then you mom...come on I'll hook you up with a nice apartment too.You need to get away from your mom hon"I said.Eddie smiled and nodded"Ok..I'll take you up on that offer..but only because you're offering"Eddie said.I smile"Atta boy"I said and we began to walk twords the door.It was a very small door so when Bill opened it we all had to crouch down just to go in.There,was an even BIGGER CAVE.You could hear the draft in the cave.We shown our flash lights in all directions.I again,held Richie's hand"Richie"I said"Yeah?"He asked"If we make it out of this..who's house are we living at?"I asked.He looked at me then smirked"Mine.Warm weather and a pool.Nuff said"He said and I nodd"Ok sounds good..just needed something to keep me walking"I said and walked on.We looked up and saw a bunch of wadded things in cobweb..but what was in the cobweb we couldnt figure out....then Bill shined a light and we saw a woman!Bill then ran off"Bill for god's sake"Bev said going after him"It's Audra.Im gonna get her"Bill said climbing through the webs but he stopped seeing a BIG spider.I gasped and began to hypervenelate"Richie get Jess back"Bev said.Richie pulled me back and made me look at him"Hey good lookin its ok.I wont let that thing touch u ok?"Richie said.I nodded"Its so-so freakin big!"I said as I shook"I know but the bigger they are the harder they fall ok?Ive got you"Richie said kissing my head.Bill pushed Bev and she shot the metal piece and MISSED"Jess!You have to!"Bill said to me"NO!I CANT!"I said sobbing but Eddie and Richie pulled me up"Listen to me I'll be right next to you!But you have to shoot!"Richie said"NOO!!!"i said crying"Please Jess!"Bev said.I shook with fear and swallowed hard then put the silver piece in the sling shot.I closed my eyes"Fear is only in my mind....taking over all the time"I gasped hearing its roar"Fear is only in my mind and its taking over all the time"I sang and then shot it.I hit it but it bounced off like it was nothing.My eyes widened"What?!"I said in shock but then it flew up and there was it's Dead Lights.Bill was entranced by the Dead Lights"It's taking him!"Ben said and ran over to Bill but stopped seeing the Lights himself.Richie went"No!Dont go!It'll lure you in Richie!"I said but he looked at me"I gotta help them!"Richie said and ran to them"NO!"I said as Bev held me.He was entranced too...Bev didnt know what to do...I growled and tugged at Bev"Lets go!"I said climbing up the rock"Where?!"Bev said"To find the silver pieces!"I said as Eddie followed behind us but then he got lured into the light"Shit"I mumbled seeing IT pick up Eddie.It was going to kill him"Hurry up!"I yelled to Bev and we searched for the piece"I got one!"Bev said.I bit my lip trying to find the other..I then did find it"Lets go!Hurry!"I said and she nodded as we ran to IT we got back to them all and I looked at Bev and nodded"Please god.Dont fail me again"Bev said and as hard as it was, we didnt look at the Dead Lights and shot the pieces at IT.IT dropped Eddie and the others were set free from the trance.They checked on Eddie because he was knocked out.Bev and I ran over"You guys are idiots!Next time I say DONT go!Then DONT GO!"I said angrily as I hugged Richie.I kissed him"Were you that worried?"Richie said"YES!"I said angrily"Nice shot you two"Eddie said waking up.I smile at him"Dont talk.You're
gonna be fine spaghetti"Richie said with agony"Richie please....for the last time dont call me that...you know how I hate it..."the light in his eyes left"No..no no no no no"I said as tears fell"Eddie"Bev said softly."Eddie.."I said crying more.Richie put his arm around me as I cried.We all looked at eachother and then looked at the direction IT went.I glared"I'll kill him"I said and got up"Wait"Bev said.I stopped and looked back"We're coming with you"She said.They all nodded and I nodded back.We followed to where it went.We saw it just stop and rest but we all ran up to it and started to beat the fuck out of IT's dead lights until finally we ripped out IT's heart.The Lights faded and IT was dead.Bill stopped"Audra"He said and went back to the other room.We followed and saw all the bodies dropping"Its all coming down"Bev said"Wonder who's in all this"I said.Bill got to the woman he called Audra.She looked dead though.... We got out of there with Eddie's body, and Audra's body.She was alive,but she wasnt responding.....
(Epilouge)So after that it was finally over.Richie and i were shortly married FINALLY.And I was due for a baby.The doctor said this would probably be my first and last baby.I was fine with that.For the mean time, Richie and I were doing shows together.I would open for him and he would come do his comedy and occasionally I would write songs on my guitar so he could do comedy songs which a lot of them were funny.And what do ya know,we got asked to be in a movie together and in our wishes, one of the guys looks a lot like Eddie.We grew old together,young enough to watch our baby boy go off to college when it came for that.Bev and Ben were married too and they had a girl.We were closely in touch.Another curse broken in my opinion.Bill snapped his wife out of it and they were happy in love again.They went back to the country.Mike healed and wrote down his story so he doesnt forget his memories.We all meet up once a year to memorate Eddie and Stan.And of course see whats up with our family.And thats how it was....no more nightmares.Ever again...
the end!
