Chapter 32

🎈CHAPTER 32🎈

•°Corinne's POV°•

Knowing Bowers was coming after as, especially when we're alone, we knew who might be his next target, so after patching up Eddie's cheek, we quickly made our way to the library, when we arrived, running inside the building we found a very unlikely sight.

Richie was busy throwing up, Mike was laying on the floor, with a dead Bowers right next to him.

"Hey."

"Hey. Oh, my god."

"Are you all right?" Ben asks, the question directed at Mike who was holding his arm, which was bleeding, but Richie answered instead. "No, I'm not all right. I just fucking killed a guy."

"Richie, he was talking to Mike." I pointed out, but Mike didn't seem to care about his injury when he asked, "Where's Bill?"

Ben offered to wrap his arm, as Mike called Bill to try and find out what's going on.

"Bill, we're all at the library. Where are you at?" Mike asks, after Bill finally answered his phone. Mike quickly got up from his chair, after Bill said something to him. "No, no, no, no, no. Just, just... Look, just come here to the library. We can talk about the plan." Mike says, we all looked towards Mike, waiting to hear what Bill has told him. "No, no, no."

"Bill! Bill!" Mike yells into the phone, turning towards us, I was sure Bill hanged up on him. "He's going to fight it alone." Mike states.

"What?"

"Alone. It's about the group. The ritual doesn't work without the group. Doing it together is why it'd work." Mike says, but when he saw Richie looking at the weird Native American artifact, he quickly grabbed it.

"Mike, did he tell you where he was going ?" Ben asks.

"If he really wanted to kill Pennywise, there's only one place he'll go." Beverly spoke up.

"The same place the ritual needs to be performed." Mike states.

"Oh, we're not gonna like this, are we?" Eddie asks, staring at the floor, with his arms crossed. Ben looked towards me, as he mutters, "Fuck."

When we arrived at Neibolt, Bill was already on the porch. "Bill!" Beverly calls out to him.

"No, no, you guys, no! I-I started all this. It's my fault that you're all here. This curse, this fucking thing that's inside you all. It started growing the day that I made you go down to the Barrens, because all I cared about was finding G-georgie. Now, I'm gonna go in there, and I don't know what's gonna happen, but I can't ask you to do this." Bill tells us, Beverly moved towards a spike picking it up.

"Well, we're not asking you, either." She says to him.

"Bev."

"We didn't do it alone then, Bill, so we're not gonna do this alone now." Mike says.

"Losers stick together."  Ben adds, leaving us in silence as we were all determined to put an end to this. "So, does somebody want to say something?" Eddie asks, breaking that silence.

"Richie said it best when we were here last." Bill points out.

"I did? I don't want to die?" Richie asks.

"Not that."

"You're lucky we're not measuring dicks?"

"No."

"Let's kill this fucking clown?" Richie asks, having Bill answer him with a nod and a laugh afterwards.

"Let's kill this fucking clown." Richie repeated, with a lot more determination.
