Smoking About You

Chapter Thirty-One

As Jonathan stayed sat on the old floors of Vecna's house, he heard a creek. When he looked to his side, he saw Argyle rubbing his own head

Dustin noticed out of the corner of his eye, "Hey, look!" He pointed, showing Argyle waking up

The group excluding Max, Steve, Robin, and Lucas ambled to Jonathan and Argyle to make sure the two were alright.

Max held onto Billy's hand, feeling the chill of his metal ring. She held back tears as Lucas squeezed her shoulder

Steve dropped his head, avoiding eye contact when tears dripped down from his cheeks, Eddie cocked his head, seeing the ones who stayed behind

He patted the back of his jeans, finding the bandana he stuffed in, and he strolled across bending at the knees.

Eddie covered his pointer finger with the white bandana. He stroked the blood away from Billy's face as well as under his eyes

Suddenly, his wrist was grabbed by Billy, opening an eye. Billy looked at Eddie, the moisture from Max's eyes quickly dried

She gulped, "Billy?" He turned to her with a smile opening both his eyes, everyone relaxed as they saw the blue within.

Steve wiped his face, playing it off as a simple scratch, Dustin and the others still with him jaunted with Jonathan and Argyle

"Is it alright?" Jonathan asked, sliding his hands in his back pockets, Eddie gazed up at him from crouching near the floor

"His eyes are open."

"No shit dingus." Robin scoffed a laugh, Eddie shrugged in defense.

Billy sat himself up, rubbing the back of his head, though he wasn't the only one to get up

Vecna stood up remaining on the stairs, everyone too stood up keeping a guard

Nancy had her spare gun, and Steve had his spiked bat in hand, Vecna raised his arm, and Nancy started to feel her throat tighten.

Jonathan saw, he took his hands out of his pockets trudging towards Vecna, he swung making contact with his jaw

The party stood in shock watching Vecna's head face the way it was hit, his face full of rage he glared at Jonathan

Before any other movement was made, Will aimed his hand, Vecna began to tremble as Will kept his focus.

Eleven breathed in, and she raised her arm, levitating Vecna, Jonathan backed away near Nancy, viewing the quivering in Vecna

Blood dripped down Will's nose. He winced, trying to hold his focus, Mike touched his back, "Will, you can do it."

He altered to Eleven, "El, you've got this."

Will's body started to feel weak. Rather than giving up, he took both hands, restraining Vecna even more

Redness trickled from his ears, El lifted her arms also, having Vecna go higher into the air.

Lucas leaned to Mike, "Vecna won't explode -" Sooner than Lucas' sentence was finished. Black muck from Vecna's body splashed the room

Vicki covered her mouth, "I think I'm going to be sick." Robin patted her shoulder, "Feel free."

Argyle laughed, "Rad." Will and El looked at each other chuckling, "Bitchin' " She nodded

"Hell yeah." Argyle said, raising his hands, the two high-fived him with smiles.

Max was holding onto Lucas and Billy's arms for comfort. She tilted her head forward to see Steve beside, "What now, captain?"

Steve grazed his finger across his chin, removing the ooze, "I say we light the house on fire."
