"All that blood at your place, and you s-say your folks didnt see any of it" answered Bill "t-then last n-night I saw G-Georgie but no adults saw anything"

"The clown is targeting us the kids because we have more fears" replied Niall

"That's why the cops won't help, our P-Parent, our teachers" replied Bill

They stop as Niall points at a bike getting everyone's attention as they look at the bike too

"We should help M-Mike" said Bill

However, Mike gets kicked in the head. Damn, that hurt. Pushed to the brink, he forgets what the fuck he just saw. Grabs a fistful of meat and -- Whips it up at Henry and his Boys. Covers them in blood and ribbons of lamb and beef. Mike tries to scramble away but -- Belch hooks him by the collar. Throws him back down into the gravel. Henry jumps on top. Grabs a handful of gravel and -- WHAM! Henry gets hit hard in the face with a rock. Thatll leave a nasty wound that wont go away for the rest of our story. Attention snaps over to the -- losers. Standing like saviours

"Holy shit, nice throw" said Ritchie

"Thanks but don't get too surprised" said Beverly

"RUN" yelled Bill

Mike uses the second of distraction to push off of Henry and get back onto his feet. He races over to join the Losers

"ROCK WAR" yelled Ritchie

WHAM! Richie gets pegged with a Rock thrown by Belch. Maybe he should have kept his trashmouth shut. Losers pick up more rocks. Starts whipping them at Henry, Victor, Patrick, and Snatch. The Bowers Gang returns fire. Everybody ducks for cover, trying not to get hit. Its a brutal battle. Cornered, Bill yells out his orders

"RUN" ordered Bill

They run and stop in the middle of the streets as Mike turns his attention to the group

"Thanks but you shouldn't have done that, he be after you as well now" replied Mike

"Henry is always after us" said Eddie

"I g-guess that's one t-t-thing we all have in c-common" said Bill

"Yeah home schooler welcome to the losers club" shouted Ritchie

They go and sit down on a bench

"Back in the day loads of kids went missing now with Georgie, Betty and Dorsey this stuff only happens every 27 years" answered Ben

"So this town is cursed?" questioned Stan

"That's what my Grandfather thinks" replied Mike

Everyone turns their attentions to Mike

"You guys know what a haunt is?" asked Mike

They shake their heads

The haunt can also mean like a feeding ground for animals... Or for something else... My grandfather told me he thinks all the bad things that happen in this town are caused by one thing... An evil thing... that feeds off the people of Derry" explained Mike

"But it can't be one thing because we are all seeing different things" replied Stanley

"I think it's because it uses our worse fears against us" said Mike

"I saw a walking infection" said Eddie "what about you guys?"

"Lot's of hands, melted by fire" replied Mike "What are you afraid of Ritchie?"

"Clowns" replied Ritchie

"Jeez" said Niall "I don't know what I am afraid off"

Bill grabs Niall's hand and takes him home. They fall asleep.
