Bill Denbrough had gotten over his father's death. Yes it hurt, he cried, but what hurt even more was watching the rest of his family deal with the loss. Georgie was torn up and his mother sometimes wouldn't even leave her room. But they were healing and Bill was better. Yes he has gotten over the death of his father, Zack Denbrough, but he has never been able to shake the feeling that there was always something else he was missing.

The police that found him in the woods said he had been dead on sight. The doctors said he had a heart attack. Which just seemed... off, to Bill.

Zack had left for the weekend for one of his various hunting trips. Most people go out in groups, pairs, when they hunt, not Zack. It's something he's done tens of times. Every other time he returned without a scratch. Especially the whole death by heart attack. No one in his family has ever suffered from any heart problems and his father was in great physical shape. So this sudden heart attack, caused Bill to believe that something else might've been the cause of his father's untimely death, he may not know what, but he knows it's something.

The case had gone cold, if that's even the right term. Since there wasn't really a case to freeze. His father died of a normal heart attack, case closed. So all of his belongings were returned to the family as they were not needed for further investigation. Then, a couple weeks back when Bill was out on the Hanlon's farm with Mike, he lost his phone, never to be found again. Bill opted to inherit his father's old Iphone 8. His mother was just about to throw it away so he decided to put it to good use.

There wasn't much info on it to erase and Zack mainly used the phone for calling and texting his wife and son (Georgie was too young to have a phone). But when Bill entered his father's photo album, he was left speechless by what he saw. It wasn't much, no, it was merely a simple photo of a white rabbit. A white rabbit with impossibly blue eyes.

White rabbits were rare, Bill had never seen one before in real life and even then, when you asked someone, they always knew about white rabbits but not many (If any) have actually ever seen one with their own two eyes. That and the fact that the photo was taken the day his father died.

While Richie was explaining the math homework to Bill that night after school, his eyes began to wander. They scanned the Tozier's yard, eventually falling upon a small white rabbit that sat just behind the corner of their house. It's icy blue eyes pierced Bill's soul. Suddenly a pit was created in his stomach, it twisted his insides and made his heart beat out of his chest.

Richie tilted his head like a confused puppy, "You good, Big Bill?" he waved a hand in front of Bill's face to get his attention.

Bill's mind cleared as he realized where he was, and what he had just seen. "S-Sorry Rich, can you g-give me the sp-sparknotes version? I can't stay too long, Gu-Georgie is home al-lone" Bill stuttered a little bit more than normal. His thoughts messed up after he saw the rabbit. But nonetheless he carefully listened as Richie quickly explained the rest of the question.

Once they were done, Bill gave his friend a quick goodbye before booking it in the same direction the rabbit went. Richie talked for another couple minutes after he first saw the creature, how far could it have gotten?

Bill sunk behind the bush and hid when Eddie turned to look around him. The human held his breath in hopes of not being found, but he worried that whatever that is won't be able to hear his heartbeat as it was practically beating out of his chest.

Yes, he was still reeling over the fact that he just saw some small white rabbit turn into a full fledged human. Eddie, that human is fucking Eddie. He looked down at his phone that he had just taken the photos on. He made a mental note to check them later when he wasn't about to be discovered.

What would he do if he found me? What is he capable of?

Bill's mind was spinning. He wasn't even sure how long he had been sitting there. It was the cold wind of the night that pulled him from his thoughts. When he stood up and looked around, Eddie was gone.

Heading home was hard, Bill was the best biker of all the Losers, yet tonight he nearly tipped over twice and had trouble getting going. He couldn't shake the image of the white rabbit out of his head.

Bill always knew his father hadn't died of a heart attack. He knew it had something to do with that damned white rabbit, somehow. Now he finally has a lead. Eddie.

Going to school the next day Bill's foot wouldn't stop tapping. Not during breakfast when he saw Georgie drinking milk out of his dad's old favourite mug. Nor did it stop on his bike to school, and it certainly didn't stop during lunch when he was the first one at the table watching everyone fill in and waited for the rest of the losers to come, for Eddie to come.

"You okay Bill?" Mike nudged his side. Bill jumped a little at the sudden attention.

Bill shook his head, "Just n-nervous. I've got this b-big project for history" he formulated the lie with ease, after his father passed, Bill had become a little too skilled in the art of lying.

"Need a hand? I had History last semester and I got a pretty good grade if you need help" He offered Bill one of his iconic 'Mike Hanlon Support Friend' smiles.

Bill returned the smile, "T-Thanks Mikey, but I should be okay" he noticed Eddie and Richie had entered the cafeteria as he finished his sentence. His eyes found their way down to his lunch where he began to focus on his untouched sandwich.

He waited until the duo got comfortable at the table before he tilted his head up and greeted them. "Ho-How was your n-night?" Bill mentally cursed out his stutter for getting worse under pressure.

Richie inhaled as if he were about to give a speech, "Well Billiam after you left my house I went and jerked it for a-"

"Beep Beep Trashmouth" Stan hissed.

Bill couldn't help but notice the way Eddie tried to hide his smile as he raised a hand to muffle his giggle. "What about you E-Eddie?" Bill asked with a small nod.

"Oh! My night was fine, just studied and watched TV" He responded with a shrug.

Bill nodded in understanding. The human waited until the conversation became dull before he spoke his mind, "H-Have you guys ever suh-seen a white rabbit around he-here?". He had to bite his tongue to ensure he didn't smirk when he saw Eddie visibly flinch under the table.

"It's actually pretty interesting cause they're the rarest type of rabbit" Ben informed them with a little pride in his voice.

Mike took a moment to think over his answer before he spoke, "I've never seen any near the farm. Well, I've seen lots of rabbits, but never white ones" he realized.

"Weird..." Beverly's voice trailed off as she stared at her uncapped water bottle she held in her hand. She then shrugged, unphased by the realization and took a swig of her water.

Neither Richie nor Eddie contributed to the conversation, and Bill noticed. He also noticed the silence conversation the two shared with their glances and glares. Bill didn't mention it though, he can't give them reason to start wondering about him, not when he's this close to finding out what really killed his father.

The final bell of the day rang throughout Derry High as Bill and Mike walked out of their final class together, Writer's Craft.

"Hey Mikey?" Bill asked.

Mike turned to look at him as he caught his attention, "Yeah Big Bill?".

"Can I tu-talk to you?" Bill requested as he paused before the boys bathroom and gestured for him to follow.

Mike followed without further question, because that's the type of friend he was. Always there for everyone.

It was the end of the day so the bathroom was empty. Mike spoke first, "Is everything all-".

"I think I have a lead on my dad's murderer" Bill cut him off, getting straight to the point. Not a stutter in sight.

Mike's face instantly scrunched up, "W-What? Bill your dad had a heart attack".

"W-we don't know for sure-"

"Yes we do! Bill I know it was hard but how many times have you come to me saying that?" Mike stopped mid sentence. He let out a small sigh before continuing, his voice held a tinge of sadness as he knew how hard it's been for Bill. "There's literally no other way your father could have died. He didn't have any physical trauma and there weren't even any fingerprints, it was just his heart" Mike tried to keep a calm tone, but it was hard.

Bill shook his head, "L-Look" He said as he slid his phone from his back pocket and entered his camera roll where he intended on showing Mike the photos he took of Eddie during the previous night. But when he clicked on his most recent photos, all of the ones he took of Eddie were white, as if he had taken then with the flash and it had whitened them out.

"W-What? Mike, no- I swe-ear they were here" Bill's breathing began to quicken as he rapidly scrolled through his phone. NO, No, no, no, no...

He was about to speak when Bill's breath hitched. Mike enveloped him in a hug. Bill buried his face in Mike's shoulder.

"I know, it's hard... Really hard." Mike whispered as he began to rub slow circles into Bill's back, "I know...".

The conversation he previously had with Mike was on replay while Bill slowly walked through Derry. He kept a close eye on his target. He ducked behind bushes and hid behind trees in hopes of going unseen like he had last time. He followed a solid 30 feet behind his target, always staying out of sight.

He followed him through town, passed all of his friends houses and all of the main buildings. The houses became bigger and more spread out. Bill looked down at his watch, he'd been on this trail for nearly an hour.

Where are you going Eddie?

Bill glanced from behind a tree and watched as Eddie entered the forest. The human watched for a couple minutes before he continued behind him. Bill followed him into the deep woods and down an old overgrown path. He could see the end of the path ahead, so he sat behind a cluster of rocks, casually peaking out every now and then, only moving once Eddie left the forest. He made his way quickly to the end and hid behind a tall evergreen tree. He watched as Eddie walked out into the middle of an empty field and just simply disappeared.

"What the..." Bill's eyes grew wide as he got to his feet. He waited and watched, slowly walking backwards.

Where did he go? What the hell just happened?

He kept moving backwards, his mind was so overwhelmed that he didn't even notice the rock under his foot. He only noticed it once it caused him to trip and fall backwards. He landed on his back with his hands trying to soften the blow.

Fuck this

Were Bill's last thoughts before he scrambled to his feet and fled.
