HAWKINS BLEEDING! CHAPTER FOURTY SIX:
VICTOR CREEL

There was a lot of things that didn't make sense to Stephenie. The Way Steve did his hair the same way everyday and How many times Max had broken up with Lucas. But now she was trying to put the pieces together of how a psychiatric patient Victor Creel was connected to these killings. Two Vecna, and this curse. Stephenie had many doubts that this man just killed his family, I mean a great big house and property and a perfect sized family what more could he want? Had he truly gone mad because Hawkins PD had always proved to be  unreliable in every single way. Covering up stories.

It was so much information but Stephenie didn't buy much of it. There had to have been something that wasn't told. That nobody would believe.

Stephenie, Steve, Max, Dustin and Lucas were in the basement of the Wheelers house. Lucas and Dustin sat on the couch, Steve standing and Stephenie slightly pacing back and forth. Max was at the desk, writing stuff. She didn't know what.

"Okay be honest, You guys understand any of this?" Steve asked

"No" Lucas told him

"Pretty straightforward." Dustin stated

"Oh, straightforward, really?"

"I mean, kinda?" Stephenie said

"What's confusing to you? So far, everyone Vecna has cursed has died, except for this old Victor Creel dude Nancy found. He's the only known survivor If anyone knows how to beat this curse, it's him."

"Uh guys, I think—"

"That's assuming he was cursed, which we don't even know. How can Vecna have existed in the '50s? It doesn't make sense"

"Guys?" Stephenie spoke up, still being ignored "guys!" She screamed, finally getting their attention "I think there might be another survivor" she said, the three boys looking at her in confusion

"Me" Stephenie stated, and Steve's confusion quickly turned into concern

"woah, what?" He asked

"at the roller rink in California— I don't know how he reached me but he did and he-he's still trying. I don't know how i escaped his trance. I don't remember much about it. Just Stevie Nicks. He was showing me the past. Things that... have weight on me. it was like a waking nightmare" Stephenie explained "but, as Far as we know, Eleven didn't create the Upside Down. She just opened a gate to it."

"The Upside Down has probably been around for thousands of years. Millions. I wouldn't be surprised if it predated the dinosaurs." Dustin told them

"Dinosaurs? What are we—"

"okay. But if a gate didn't exist in the '50s how did Vecna get through?" Lucas asked

"Oh, and How's he getting through now?"

"And why now?"

"And why then? Just pops out in the '50s, kills one family, and he's like, I'm good. And poof, he just disappears. Just.. gone? Only to return 30 years later and start killing random teens? No, I don't buy it. Straightforward, my ass. You know what? Honestly, Henderson, a little humility now and then, it wouldn't hurt you" Steve said to Dustin before sitting down

"sorry." Dustin muttered before Stephenie looked towards Max who was still writing. She was completely zoned out and it was like she didn't even hear what they were saying.

"Any idea what she's writing?" Dustin asked and Stephenie shook her head

"Did she sleep?"
