Chapter Five: The Flea and the Acrobat - [Pt. 1]

(TRIGGER WARNING! Contains blood and verbal fighting)

Your POV

We sat in my hiding place.

It was my favorite hiding place.

"So is this your safe place?" Will says as he slowly crawls around the small area.

"Safe place?" I say back with confusion.

"Yeah, like Castle Byers?" He says.

"Hiding place," I say as I light another candle I have.

Will looks oddly frightened at me for a moment.

"Doesn't the Demogorgon sense that?" He says to me as he backs up a bit.

"No, blood," I say back.

"But how does the Demogorgon keep finding us?" He says with confusion in his facial expression.

"Music, loud noises-" I start to say before getting cut off.

"It finds us from the music and loud noises?" He says.

"No," I say back.

"Then why?" He says.

You would know if you would just let me finish talking.

"I-" I say before stopping to think.

I don't know how to explain this.

I grabbed the candle I just lit and held it up to my ears.

"What the-," He says before looking at my ears.

There was dried blood in my ear.

Why? Because music or any loud sounds is a torture weapon that only harms me.

"Holy crap, are you okay?" He says as he examines my ears more.

Will's POV

That's when it hit me.

That's why she hated the music.

That's why she tried to tune it out.

That's why she seemed extremely hurt by it.

How come I didn't notice that before?

"Oh my God..." I say, quite shocked at the moment.

I go to touch her ears when she suddenly flinches causing me to move my hands away.

"I-I'm s-sorry," I say, because of my actions.

"Why sorry?" She says as she moves the candle back down and placed it on the ground.

"I kept playing the loud music..." I say, obviously quite disappointed in myself.

"Will." She says.

"Yeah?" I say as a response.

"It's okay." She says with a slight smile.

"Really?" I say, wondering how she could forgive me so fast.

"Friends make mistakes." She says with a larger smile.

"Thank you," I say, as I give a small smile.

*Time Skip*

I and y/n just kinda chatted in there for a while.

"You know I love to draw," I say, as she nods.

"One time..." I say as the memories flash through me.
