🎈CHAPTER 30🎈

•°Corinne's POV°•

I stood infront of the statue, that was located by the library, it was where Ben and I would sit on the grass, when we didn't want to enter the library, it was moments i wished would never end and go on forever.

It was times I felt like we would have each other forever, but then I disappeared without a word, but none of them questioned me about it, my guilt has been eating me alive, and having Ben worry about me, was making me feel even worse.

Reaching into one of the openings of the statue, taking out a plastic bag, which i didn't expect to find there, after all these years.

I was sitting against the statue, which was Ben and I's usually meeting spot if we were going to spend the day in the library. Looking up at the sky, which didn't have a cloud insight, which was unusual.

I ended up closing my eyes, trying to enjoy the sun against my skin, when a hand was placed on my shoulder, at first i thought it might have been Ben, but when my eyes opened, it was a gloved hand, looking up, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.

Those demonic eyes, staring straight at me, with a sinister smile on its face. I wanted to move away, but he was keeping me in place, stopping me from moving anywhere.

"My little Corinne, why don't you come and join us, we can have so much fun, you'll never have to wait for anyone, and you'll get to float all the time. Doesn't that sound like so much fun." Pennywise says, giggling to himself, I felt myself shaking, which made him giggle even more, since he was able to feel my fear.

"Oh, Corinne, your fear, it's making me so hungry." It says, it's mouth started watering, his eyes never left me, my voice was stuck in my throat, I couldn't scream or call out for help.

"I think I should snack on you right here, waiting doesn't seem as fun anymore." Pennywise says, pouting his lips.

It all happened so fast, his mouth started opening wide, my life felt like it was flashing before my eyes, when I tried ripping my shoulder from it's grip, his nails grew piercing right into my skin, it was painful, but i didn't dare scream, looking around, i grabbed a rock that was laying very close to me, hitting pennywise as hard as i could, when he let go of me, with shaky legs i got up, and tried making a run for it.

"You can run Corinne, but I'll catch you, and I will taste your fear." Pennywise says, running after me with very big steps, I kept looking back, to see how far he was from me, it made me loose focus of the rest of my surroundings, when I ran straight into a body.

I fell to the floor, my breathing heavy, but I didn't dare look up, afraid it might already have caught up to me.

"Corinne! What happened?" Ben's worried voice enters my ears, it made me look up, seeing it really was him, I couldn't help, but start crying, he crouched down, pulling me into a hug, telling me that everything was okay.

I opened the back to see the post card, with the poem Ben wrote for me and a playlist he made especially just for me, inside the bag. It made me smile, those two things were like a treasure chest full of gold to pirates.

If all of this is over, I'll apologize properly to everyone, they atleast deserved that much, I placed the cad and tape into my backpack, looking around the place, that seemed to have lost its colour over the years.

A giggle, had me stop moving, sending shivers down my spine, and not the good kind, following the sound, there he was, sitting on top of the statue, staring down at me once again.

"Awe, little Corinne, is all grown up, but your fear still smells the same." Pennywise says, never looking away. "Why don't you come and float with me?" He asks, a sinister smile on his face, not a second later he jumped down the statue running at me, as it's mouth opened up.

I used the little courage I had left and, started running in the opposite direction, I didn't dare look back, I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of leaving another permanent mark on my body, so I ran, even if the heels hurt me like hell, i kept on running straight to the Inn.
