"I have to go,too," I spoke up, my voice barely above a whisper. "My mom's waiting for me." It was only half the truth.

"We put the tokens in the thing. That's good, right?" Richie asked.
"We did it, right?" Eddie asked. Beverly had some trouble with her flashlight as she pointed it towards the spikes. We all jumped back, screaming, as Pennywise was staring down at us, laughing.
"Shit! Shit!"
"I knew all of this felt too easy," I muttered under my breath. Ben must have heard me because he gave me a look before looking back at Pennywise.

"Mike, what's he talking about?" Eddie was the one to ask him.
"M-Mikey?" Bill asked.

"God damn it!"
"Fuck!"
Pennywise was laughing at us, enjoying that we weren't standing together but fighting amongst each other. The Deadlights emerged from the ground once more, moving upwards, swirling around each other. They were giving off a blue light, which didn't look like a good thing.
"The Deadlights! Don't look at them!" Beverly yelled.
Pennywise came out from behind the spikes, looking like a big, gigantic spider. Of course it had to look like a damn spider. "For 27 years, I dreamt of you. I craved you. Oh, I've missed you!" Pennywise stated, laughing, sounding like some sort of obsessed psycho ex-boyfriend.
