chapter 4. ten dollar winnings


(Y/n pov.)

You get out of your car and walk in with Stan not far behind. The losers are all in the living area of the town house minus Bill and Mike when you get there and Eddie is standing over Beverly. Her being the only one sitting. "Ok so what to do mean that you've seen us all die?" "Yeah cause I gotta be honest that a fricked up thing to just drop on somebody." She quickly wipes a tear away "every night since Derry, I've been having these nightmares. People in pain. People dieing. People..." "So you have nightmares, I have nightmares. People, they have nightmares. But that dosen't mean that, your visions are true". "I've watched every single one of us..." "You've seen every single one of us what?" Says Bill entering the town house with Mike. "Ten bucks Eddie frickin loses it when they realize your here", you whisper to Stan. "Your on", he shoots back. "At the place Stanley was supposed to wind up that's how we all end eventually, you can't cheat death twice". "Ok how come the rest of us aren't seeing that shoot? I mean what makes her so different?" "The deadlights." "The deadlights". "She was the only one of us who got caught in the deadlights that day." "We were all touched by It. Changed. Deep down like an infection, or a virus, a virus! You understand slowly growing that virus, it's been growing for 27 years. This whole time metastasizing, It almost got to Stan first, what Beverly sees it will come to pass. It's what'll happen to all of us, eventually, unless we stop it". "How the heck are we supposed to do that?" "The ritual of chud. The Shokopiwa. The first ones who fought It, they have a saying. 'All living things must abide by the laws of the shape they inhabit". "A tribal ritual? Are you fricking kidding me, man? Alright theres gotta be another way, okay? This thing comes back, what, every 27 years? Let's just kick the can down the road and do it then". "Wait, we'll be 70 years old, a-hole." "It doesn't work that way". Beverly croaks, "none of us make it the next 20 years and the way it happens..." "So, if we beat It this cycle, then..." "We die. Horribly". "Yeah, I don't need the 'horribly' part". "I didn't say it. She did. Not me." "Alright guys look, I've seen w-w-w-what he's talking about, and it's all true." "It's the only way". "If we want this ritual to work..." "We have to remember". "Remember what?" "What you all forgot dip shoots!" You say sounding as sappy and joyful. "Also....." All eyes turn to you and you step aside with jazz hands. "Stanley!!" Eddie shrieks, Beverly almost faints and Bill and Ben both put a hand on her back so She dosen't fall out of her seat and Richie jumps clean out of his skin. "Gosh dangit (Y/n) don't do that you us!" Stan gives a little wave and you laugh. "You owe me Stan", he shakes his head. "Anyways what are we remembering Mike?" "Its better if I show you...we don't have much time, the cycle ends soon and as soon as it does..." "were fricked".

To say nostalgia hit you all like a ton of bricks would be an understatement as you walked through the streets of Derry. The night sky was cloudy and reminded you of nights when you were not beaten to a pulp somewhere and you had broken curfew to skate the streets and breathe in the fresh night air. But dawn was breaking and the sun tinted the clouds yellow as you made it to the much more weeds then grass field still as uncut as ever the train passing on its morning circuit carrying gosh knows what, to gosh knows where. The trees are still for once not whispering the secrets of those who once confessed to the wind. Little did you know that you were not the only loser who had confided in the wind bidding to take your secrets out into the wide expanse of the universe and ease the pain of keeping them to yourself. You walked past the barrens that had brought you Ben and the losers together for the first time. Up the bank into the trees and to where the, "the club house! "The barrens". "This is where we came. After the rock fight". "The club house". "You built that for us". "Uh yeah the hatch has gonna be around here some place." "You did". "I do remember that!" "Oh!" Beverly strips on a tree root and Bill catches her. "Woah! Woah!You ok?" Beverly nods and Ben watches the whole thing till you elbow him in the ribs. "What?" "Wasn't it your idea to drag my sorry comatose butt all the way back up into the grass before back down here?" "Oh that's right!" Richie laughs "Eddie thought you were dead as shoot and was squealing like a little girl the entire time". "What the frick bro?! No I wasn't". "I'm pretty sure you were Eddie..." Ben says walking a bit away from the group you following "You know what I actually think the door was more like..." he stops and stamps his foot and you accidentally bump into him". "Around...." The door coincidentally right under you gives way and you both fall down Ben wrapping his arms around you and bringing you on top of him. "Found it". You start laughing as Ben yells "We're ok! come down!" You get up and help Ben up and brush off your dress as the others make their way down into the clubhouse. Note to self next opportunity to change take it this is my adventure clothing...
