Chapter 30:Traitors kill them...

When Henry killed his father, Vic and others from his gang entered the house and witnessed the horrifying act.

Trembling with fear, they took a few steps back, hearing a sound near the door. Henry slowly turned his blood-covered head and spoke with a crazed smile on his face.

"Come here, help me with something," he said.

With fear in their eyes, they reluctantly entered the house. Henry continued to stab his father frenziedly.

One of his friends couldn't bear the sight and vomited before attempting to run towards the door.

Unfortunately, before he could reach safety, Henry's knife pierced his neck, and he fell lifelessly to the ground.

Vic and the others were shocked to witness Henry killing his own friend. The television in the room still blared, with the characters and a clown shouting loudly.

"Traitors, kill them... traitors, kill them... traitors, kill them..." The volume from the TV slowly increased.

Henry walked towards the lifeless body, took the knife, and turned to his remaining friends with a serious expression.

Just as he was about to stab another one, Vic grabbed his hand while another friend caught his other hand, trying to restrain him.

Henry struggled to break free, but he couldn't overpower them.

The volume on the TV continued to rise as the characters repeated the same sentence.

In a desperate attempt, Henry kicked Vic, freeing one of his hands, and stabbed the friend who held his other hand in the chest.

He then kicked him away.

Vic grabbed a plate nearby and smashed it on Henry's head, causing blood to flow from the wound.

Before Vic could react further, Henry swiftly sliced his neck, causing him to fall backward, losing consciousness.

After killing his friends, a sudden realization struck Henry. He remembered how he had been attacked by Bill and his friends, who had thrown stones at him.

"Wait for me, losers. I will make you pay," Henry declared. He turned his head and walked out of his house.

Derry Hotel...

Alice, who was discussing with Esme, suddenly looked up, her eyes turning white. Everyone turned their attention to Alice, while Esme held her with concern.

After a few minutes, Alice emerged from the vision and looked at Jojo urgently.

"The girl in the kid's group will be taken by the clown," Alice warned Jojo about her vision of the future.

Jojo narrowed his eyes, contemplating the information, and formulated a plan in his mind.

"We need to protect those kids. Let's split up into pairs and go to each child to safeguard them. If Pennywise is successful, find the others and help them look after the kids," Jojo explained his idea to the Cullens.

Rosalie and Alice looked at Jojo with worried expressions.

"What about you?" Rosalie asked, already anticipating his answer.

"I'm going to Beverly's house first, and then to Pennywise's hideout if he succeeds," Jojo answered, retrieving an iron chain from the bag he had brought from the store because he felt uncomfortable.

"We want to go with you," Rosalie pleaded, hoping he would agree.

"No, this time his strength is stronger than we estimated. I am going to confront him in his lair, and we have many kids to protect now, which is why we need to split up," Jojo explained, trying to comfort her.

Everyone split into pairs and went to their assigned locations to guard the children.

Alice and Rosalie went to Ben's location, Esme and Carlisle went to Stanley's, Jasper and Edythe went to Bill's, and Jess and Emmett went to Richie's house.

Jojo headed to the rented motorcycle and drove towards Beverly's house. When he was halfway there, Jojo sensed Pennywise's presence ahead.

He narrowed his eyes and accelerated, going full speed ahead.

Beverly's House...

As Beverly entered her house, she felt uneasy due to her father's presence.

She looked around to confirm that her father was not around, letting out a sigh of relief before proceeding further into the house.

She went to her room and began packing her things, intending to stay somewhere else until the Pennywise problem was resolved.

After packing her belongings, she headed towards the door, but as she tried to open it, she realized it was locked from the inside.

"Do you think you can go out without informing me?" Beverly heard her father's voice from behind.

Turning back, she saw her father sitting on the couch in the dark.

"Come here," her father said emotionlessly, without taking his eyes off her.

Beverly didn't have pleasant memories with her father, as he tormented her daily. Her mother had left him after giving birth, and Beverly was her spitting image.

He took her hand and slowly asked once again, "Where are you going?" while maintaining eye contact.

"I... I'm just going out to get some air," Beverly replied, attempting to remove her hand from her father's grip.

"Then what is this?" Her father took the greeting card and showed it to her.

When she saw her father had found the greeting card, fear gripped her, and she looked down, anticipating her father's return to tormenting her.

Not receiving an answer, her father's smile faded, and he began torturing her again.

"You are like your mother, bitch," he said, his face devoid of emotion.

"No, I am not..." Beverly became angry when he called her a bitch. Before she could finish her sentence, her father's boot struck her abdomen, sending her flying into the wall.

Her father grabbed her by the hair, repeatedly hitting her and holding her down on the ground.

"If those boys' friends of yours ask about me, what will you say?" he taunted with a mocking smile on his face.

Beverly kicked him in a vulnerable area and ran inside to escape from him.

She rushed into the bathroom and locked the door behind her. Her father attempted to open the door, but after a few tries, he started breaking it down.

As her father was breaking through the door to reach her, Beverly began hearing voices in her head.

"Kill him... Kill him... Kill him..."

She covered her ears, trying to block out the noise, but the voices persisted in her mind.

Her father broke into the bathroom, pulling Beverly, who was still covering her ears.

When she saw her father, she momentarily lost control and grabbed a broken shard from the basin. With a surge of adrenaline, she struck him forcefully in the head.

Her father lost consciousness, and the voices in Beverly's head grew louder, tempting her to kill him.

Just as she was about to finish him off with the broken shard, she regained her consciousness and moved away from her father.

When she turned back, she was shocked and started to tremble.

Pennywise, standing 7 feet tall, loomed in front of her, wearing a cold expression and a menacing smile. He immediately caught her by the neck, trapping her in his grip.
