The Road to Maine is Bloody Part 23

“We all float, let me kill you so you can float too.” The demon clown snarled, blood spraying from his mouth, a torn piece of flesh stuck between his pointed teeth, also coated in her mother’s blood. Ashley screamed louder as Pennywise stood, his eyes fixed on her and his gnarled hands reached for her as he stepped closer, his feet soaked in blood.

She felt unable to move, feeling as if her arms were being held down and she screamed, trying to move but her feet were stuck to the ground as Pennywise grabbed her hair, twisting it in his claw like hands and yanked her head closer to him and he opened his mouth, the piece of flesh flopping back and forth between his teeth and Ashley struggled hard, twisting her arms in a desperate move to get away, she couldn’t.

Then she heard a familiar voice coming from in front of her and she looked down and her eyes widened in fear, her mother somehow turning her head, the gaping wound in her throat gushing blood like when you squish a sponge and all the water whooshed out around it, making a sick squelching sound, much like getting your feet stuck in mud, squish squish. Her skin gone from her face and only muscle and tendon were left, eyes bulging in empty sockets. “Come with me Ashley, we all float here, come float with us baby. Let me teach you how.”

Ashley screamed louder and struggled to get loose and then felt fingers on her upper arms and she turned to see who was holding her and at first she found comfort in the familiar face until he spoke. “Do you want a balloon little girl?” Stephen asked her, his eyes wide with an unspeakable evil and he grinned, sending chills down her spine and his face began to change, his skin turning grey and his eyes sunken, the flesh on his cheek was torn and bled, muscle was exposed and she could see tendons moving when he spoke.

Ashley screamed again, struggling violently against his hold and she heard Pennywise laughing and still had her hair twisted in his gnarled fingers and he jerked her head back, exposing her neck and he snapped his mouth open and snarled, lowering his mouth to her neck and she felt her flesh tear and felt a hot sticky liquid spurting like a fountain of blood. Ashley began to lose her fight to stay alive. As her eyes closed, Stephen looked over her, grinning like a mad man.
