Y/n P.o.v

With a loud splash I came crashing into the river water that sat calmly outside of the sewer tunnel, my body collapsed just outside of the tunnel walls and hit the slimy rocks that lay beneath the water with a thud.

I burst into a fit of screams and cries when the loud sound of balloons popping almost immediately silenced.

I held my hands against my ears as I sat up and rocked my body back and forth, my eyes slammed shut.

After a short moment of writhing in agony my eyes shot open, I quickly pulled myself to my feet and rushed away from the tunnel, the water rising against my body.

I turned my body to see the sewer tunnel, there in the center of it stood Pennywise; Blood seeping from his head and floating upwards. I couldn't tell if he was sadistically happy or sadistically angry.

I let out a cry and ran as fast as I could through the river.

I didn't dare to look back.

I ran forward only to trip and fall to the the ground, I cried out in pain when I realized I had found the civilization of Derry. I had landed in the middle of the road.

I shakily climbed to my feet and looked around, only to be stopped by an oncoming car. It came to a halt beside my trembling frame.

The window lowered to reveal Carter.

He stared at me with wide eyes, only to quickly look away when he saw my ripped shirt that exposed my bra.

He climbed out of the car and rushed over, he clasped the two sides of my shirt and pulled them together to hide my chest. He looked at me with his wide, blue eyes.

"What happened to you?!" He asked in a panicked tone.

I only shook my head in a frantic response, I opened my mouth to reply but all that exited my mouth were choked sobs.

Carter took the message and carefully gestured me to his car, he opened the passenger side door and helped me in.

Once I was seated he ran around and climbed into the drivers seat.

He stared at my shaking body with raised eyebrows.

He was going to ask more, but he decided against it.

He pressed the gas pedal and began driving. "I'm gonna take you to a hospital," he stated.

I quickly shook my head, I choked on a bit of phlegm as I finally spoke.

"No!- " I shouted.

"I mean... It's not that b-bad..." I sighed shakily.

I only said no because I would be questioned. I highly doubted that anyone would believe I was kidnapped my some clown lookalike and tortured and nearly raped.

Carter looked at me with wide eyes for a moment, he gulped and directed his sight onto the road.

That all I was staring at.

"Can you at least tell me what happened?..." He asked, hesitance writhing in his tone.

I took a long silence to recuperate.

Everything replaying in my head.

So much happened in such a short time in the sewers.

I took a deep breath and spoke, my voice hoarse from all my screaming and crying.

I could feel my stained tears stretch at my movement.

I concluded that I would have to make this story seem as realistic as possible.

"Um...The- he- It... Took me..." I choked.

Carter turned to look at me for a long moment, not even bothering to pull over. I continued my story, staring down at my ripped and dirtied shorts as I spoke.

"He brought me somewhere... I don't know where- and... He- " tears slowly rolled down my cheeks.

"He... Force fed me and hurt me... He tried to- t-t-touch me..." I let out a pained cry at the sudden shock of pain surging through me, the deep claw slashes Pennywise had left on my hip was sending waves of pain through me.

Carter looked at me quickly.

"Oh my god, Y/n are you okay?" He asked, I figured he was concerned about how I felt about the aftermath of the incident and my sudden crying.

I shook my head quickly as I removed my hands from my shirt and gripped my injured hip. I lifted my head to look at the road.

My eyes widened at the sudden sight of my brother, Grayson crossing the street. His small body in front of the car, I screamed and shifted to Carter.

I slammed my hands onto the wheel and swerved the car to the side, the vehicle swirled and soon after shrieked across the road and slid to a halt; taking up the whole road.

Carter had hit his head on the window as I had flown into him.

Carter slowly raised his head, he quickly looked at the window. He sighed in relief at the un-shattered window; I guess the car hadn't been moving as fast as I thought- so the damage was little to none.

Carter turned to see that I had landed just against his chest, he raised his arm and looked down at me.

I had passed out.

"Jesus christ, Y/n!-" he blurted, he pressed two fingers against my pule to feel it, he let out a loud groan when he felt the pulsating inside me.

He slowly sat me up and and began to drive once again.

~

My eyes slowly shifted open, only for me to scrunch my face and narrow my eyes as the light that flashed into my view.

I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and slowly sat up, I looked around the small bedroom that I lay in. A wave of panic surging through me when I realized it looked nothing like my room.

I let out a light cry and I climbed out of the bed only to hide under it.

I took my hiding spot as a chance to look at my wounds, I let out a gasp when I saw bandaging around some of my wounds, and stitches sealing more of my open wounds.

My eyes widened at the sound of the bedroom door opening.

"Y/n?"

I sighed in relief at the familiar voice, I slowly climbed from under the bed.

Carter stared down at me with an eyebrow raised questioningly.

I looked away and slowly climbed to my feet.

"D-Did you... Do this?..." I asked slowly, pointing to my wounds that had been taken care of.

Carter nodded and carefully grabbed my wrist, he held my arm up and pointed to the stitches that covered my hand. "You seemed to have cut yourself really good back there- wherever you were. " he explained before directing his bright blue eyes to my e/c ones.

He frowned, "I'm sorry," he mumbled and dropped my arm.

I didn't respond.

Carter knew how to perform medical procedures?

What the hell?

The thought then crossed my mind, I was still in my tattered clothes. So Carter got to stare at me in my bra for quite a while if he was one of those types of guys...

A blush crept onto my cheeks.

I stared wide eyed at his icy blue eyes.

They mixed so well with his blond eyelashes that hooded his eyes, his curly locks of gold only slightly falling into his eyes.

The freckles that covered his face painted like a canvas.

I swooned mentally for a moment.

I soon after realized that I was staring blankly at my hero, and I quickly lowered my head.

"Thank you... Carter..." I whispered.

He nodded in response and looked away, he must have been examining my face as much as I had done to him.

Ugh, I look horrible right now.

And he has to see me like this?

I hesitantly sat down on the bed.

I looked up at Carter, and tilted my head. "Is this your room?" I asked in an attempt to clear the awkward air.

Carter turned his attention to me and nodded, "Yeah, best room in the house I like to think," he let out a small laugh.

I pushed a small smile onto my face.

Carter took a short moment before walking to his desk that sat on the other side of the room, he bent over and began to write on a piece of paper. Quite obviously trying to seem less awkward than he really was.

"Do you want me to take you back to your house?..." He asked, turning his head to see over his shoulder.

I shook my head almost immediately.

"Whoever it was that t-took me knows where I live... I can't go back there..." I cried quietly.

I shuddered at the thought of ever being caught by Pennywise again.

What would he do to me then?

Maybe I should've let my fate lay in his hands, at least if I obeyed he might have gone easier on me. But now that I completely disobeyed and ran away, he would most definitely hurt me if he caught me again.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Y/n." Carter said, staring down at me with his piercing blues.

"Do you wanna stay here for a while?" He asked with a welcoming smile.

It was contagious.

I smiled a weak smile and nodded.

"Yes please, thank you so much-" and with that I began to sob. Completely thankful for Carter's hospitality.

I stood up and wrapped my arms the best I could over Carter's shoulders to hug him.

He was taller than I remembered him being...

I shrugged the thought away and hugged him the best I could with my weak body.

Carter seemed a bit taken back, he nodded and slowly wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Anytime, Sweets..."
