11#- Projector.
Bill starts to put up a map of Derry as Beverly and I set up the projector. Mike slides down the garage door of Bills home and Stan covers up the windows. I press a button when the projector suddenly flicks on. I scooch over to sit next to Eddie and Richie standing behind us. Ben puts a frame in the projector and it shows the sewer system. Bill focuses the frame so we can all see it and sits next to it.
"Look, that's where g-g-Georgie disappeared." He stutters as he points to a round dot on the screen. "Then the ironworks, and the black spot. Everywhere IT happens, its-its all connected by the sewers. And they all meet up at the-"
"The Well house" Ben finishes. "Isn't it the house on Neibolt Street?" Stan asks. "You mean that creepy ass house where all the junkies and hobos like to sleep?" Richie asks. Eddie starts to hyperventilate and inhale his inhaler. "I hate that place, it always feels like it's watching me" Beverly sighs.
"That's where I saw it, that's where I saw the clown" Eddie shivers. He sniffles and takes another puff of his inhaler. "Th-the-thats where IT lives" Bill stutters. "I can't imagine anything ever wanting to live there."
Eddie stands up and in front of the projector. "Can we stop talking about this? I-I-I I could barely breathe. This is summer, we're kids! I'm having a fucking asthma attack!" He takes a deep breath than rips the Map off the wall. "Eddie stop!" I yell and stand up. "NO!" He yells.
The projector suddenly starts to switch. Switch images. "El, that's not you is it?" Richie whispers in my ear. "N-no" I whisper back. I sit back up, Stan looking at me weirdly.
"What happened?" Stan asks Bill. It flicks through some photos of Bill and his family. Mike walks over to it and tries to fix it. "Georgie..." Bill mumbles. The projector starts to zoom into his face. "Bill?" I call, not taking my eyes off the picture.
"Bill!" I yell. The picture starts panning over to Bills mom, whose hair is in her face. Her face starts to morph into the shape of IT. We all jump to our feet, as the photos flick through faster and faster. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT??!!!" Richie screams. He grabs Eddie and my arms and pulls us close. "I DON'T FUCKING KNOW!!" Eddie screeches.
"Turn it off!" I yell. "TURN IT OFF!!" Stan runs behind me and grabs my shoulders. Mike runs up and kicks the projector over. The projector turns off, then turns and flicks back on to the other wall. I jump in front of everyone and shield them like I did in the sauna room. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING EL?" Eddie screeches "CALM THE FUCK DOWN EDDIE!" Stan yells. All the lights switch off. And on. Then off. For a very long time. It turns on and IT jumps out of the screen like a real life jumpscare. "AAAHH!!" Eddie screams. IT turns and looks around and he stares at me with his sharp yellow teeth showing through, dripping with saliva. All the boys run off to the side and I push Beverly away.
IT starts crawling towards me, he's bigger than an elephant. I scream and fall down. He shows his teeth, I can feel his breath on my neck. The lights switch off then on. I see his hand reach out to grab me. I scream and put my hands up to protect me.
I hear Eddie yelling and he rolls up the garage door. I put my hands down and sees that IT is gone. The losers run over to me and Stan helps me up. He then pulls me into a big hug, and I try to catch my breath. I feel like I just had a heart attack, or stroke. I pull out and pat Eddie on the shoulder, "Thanks Ed." I croak.
"It saw us! It knows where we are!" Eddie yells, still holding his inhaler. "It always does." Billy says and walks out to his bike. "S-so let's go," He says picking up his bike. "Go? Go where?" Ben asks a bit shocked from the experience. "Neibolt. Thats where g-g-g-ge-Georgie is." Bill says.
"After that?" Stan sighs, still sounding like he needs some time to catch his breath after that horrific ordeal. "Yeah it's summer," Richie stutters catching his breath. "We should be outside."
"If you say its summer one more f-f-fucking time!" Bill yells. He goes over and picks up his bike and wheels it out. "Bill! Wait!" Beverly shouts as Bill pedals off down the driveway.
"Guess we are going to Neibolt. Come on El hop on." Richie says as he leaves some room on his bike. I climb on and hold him around the waist as he kicks off and we all start heading down the road.
