Intro
Henry Bowers and his friends made sure nobody forgot who ruled the halls of Derry High. The taunts, the shoves, the whispered threats—those were normal by now. Patrick was usually the quietest one of them. That was what made him worse. And when Patrick watched something, it usually meant he wanted it. Rylee should have hated Patrick. He was part of the gang that chased her brother through hallways. The one that laughed when Richie got shoved into lockers. The one who stood beside Henry when things got ugly. Then one afternoon, when Henry and the others walked ahead of him in the hall, Patrick slowed just enough for Rylee to pass. As she walked by, he suddenly reached out. He licked his palm, wiped it across her cheek, smearing sticky sugar across her skin before walking off like nothing had happened. Patrick didn’t look back either. But Rylee understood immediately. It wasn’t an insult. It was recognition. A signal. The next strange thing started a week later. When Rylee opened her locker, something fell out. A dead moth. Its wings were folded carefully like someone had placed it there with strange patience. The next day another. And the next. It was always a moth or dragonfly. Always placed gently on top of her books. Always perfectly still. It took weeks before she finally figured it out: “Patrick…” He was nearby, sucker in his mouth. When she said his name, he slowly pulled it out of his mouth, smiled. The small, crooked one he used when he thought something was funny. The next day they were gone. Then the game started over. Patrick didn’t knock when he came to her home. He climbed. The first time Rylee realized someone was outside her window, she nearly screamed. But as the glass slid open slowly and Patrick climbed in her room like he belonged there. Moonlight hit his face as he landed silently on the floor. That was usually how their conversations went. Strange. Comfortable in a way that shouldn’t exist. He wandered around her room like it was a museum. Picking things up. Examining them. Sometimes putting them back. Sometimes not. Patrick liked to take things. Hair ties. Pens. At school, they barely spoke. They couldn’t. If Henry found out, Patrick knew exactly what would happen. And Rylee knew what her family would say too. So they pretended. Patrick still walked with the Bowers gang. Acted normal. Watched everything. Patrick wasn’t good at normal gifts. On her birthday she woke up to something on her bed. A stuffed animal. Just the head. The strangest gift came later. Patrick at her window at night looking strangely proud. Something clenched between his teeth. He climbed in and dropped it into her hands. A knife, handle carved from bone. It wasn’t perfect but it was sharp. Patrick watched her carefully as she examined it. They had seen things in the sewers that adults would never believe. Things with sharp teeth and glowing eyes. But Rylee sometimes wondered if the strangest secret in Derry wasn’t the monster under the town. It was this: Patrick, shadow of the Bowers gang, kept a photo of her in his pocket. Stole her things like treasures. And climbed through her window like it was the most normal thing in the world. No one knew. Not Henry. Not Stanley. Not the Losers. And in a town like Derry… Secrets didn’t stay buried forever.
