Return to Lovers Lake

Start from the beginning
                                    

"There's a gate in lovers lake?" Maxine asked the question that they were all pondering in their heads

"Whenever the Demogorgan attacked, it always left an opening. Maybe Vecna is the same way," Nancy stated as she recalled past events from when they had dealt with stupid shit like this.

"Nancy is right, I mean, Patrick died here right, that leaves enough for our minds to assume that there is a strong probability that there is a gate here," Adira said, agreeing with Nancy who gave her a small smile

"Well there is only one way to find out," Steve said with a small sigh.

"To the boat!" Adira said in a shitty British accent and then her and Eddie began to lead them around the lake over to where they had left the boat. They only had to walk for about 5 minutes before they spotted the tarp covered boat on the side of the lake, they made their way over to it and pulled back the tarp, eyeing the shitty wooden boat.

"Sweet ride huh?" Adira asked sarcastically, looking down at the boat with a look of deep disgust. Eddie and Steve pushed the boat into the water

"Easy man, hey easy," Steve said to Eddie a few times as they pushed it over the rock and into the water. Just like his sister, Steve was also not a fan of boats, especially ones that looked like they were on the brink of falling apart.

"Sorry dude," Eddie muttered out, raising his hands in defense for a few short moments before he and Steve grabbed the boat to hold it steady while the girl lined up to let themselves in. Steve held his hand out to help Robin in but she just put her hands on both of their heads and stepped into the boat.

"Yeah, I'm just going to do that," Robin said carelessly as she shrugged her shoulders and made her way to the front of the boat and sat down, "thank you."

"Yeah that works too," Steve said sarcastically and holds the boat while Eddie lets go and then quickly steps into the boat, waiting for Adira to come over.

Adira grinned over at Robin, a small laugh falling from her lips before shaking her head and making her way over to the boat. Eddie held out one of his hands and helped her into the boat, "Harrington," Eddie muttered and let go of her hand so that she could sit down

"Thanks love," Adira muttered out and sat down next to Robin, sending her a wide grin. Eddie held his hand out for Nancy and helped her into the boat

"Wheeler," Eddie said and helped Nancy up who thanked him and then sat down opposite Adira. Dustin went to walk in next but Eddie flicked his forehead and shook his head, "hey hey hey, are you trying to sink us? This thing holds 4 people tops," Eddie said, causing Adira to look up as she realised that Steve would more than likely also hop into the boat

"Well maybe Steve and I should stay with the kids," Adira said and stood up quickly, looking over at Max, Dustin and Lucas, "I don't want to leave them alone, especially not when one of them is already bloody cursed." Adira said quickly

"They will be fine, we are the ones going on the lake to check for the gate, we need all the help that we can get," Nancy tried to explain to Adira who walked over to the back of the boat, ready to get out

"I realise that Nance, but I dont know if it is a good idea to leave the kids over here by themselves," Adira tried to explain

"We need you Adira, you literally have superpowers, you're our best chance at the moment," Robin tried to explain

"We will be fine," Maxine says and Lucas nods his head, Dustin on the other hand was too busy looking at Eddie with a look of disappointment, he wanted to go with them on the boat.

"It's better this way okay, you guys stay here with Max," Nancy said gesturing to Lucas and Dustin, "keep an eye out for trouble," nancy explained to Dustin

"You keep an eye out for trouble," Dustin fired back, causing Nancy to look at him in disbelief, she clearly didn't expect him to back talk her like that, she gave him a wide eyed look which he mocked instantly, not planning on letting the older Wheeler boss him around, "its my theory."

"You heard Nance," Robin said and gave him a stern look

"Well who put her in charge?" Dustin fired back

"I did," Robin replied

"Well why isn't Adira in charge?" Max, Lucas and Dustin all fired back at the same time.

Adira stood up and looked at them all, "its okay guys, just stay here and we will be back as soon as possible, we couldn't of done this without you Dusty," Adira said to him with a small sigh. Dustin looked at her for a small moment before nodding his head, "and we arent planning on actually going through the gate remember, we are just seeing if there is anything out there."

Nancy stuck her hand out towards Dustin, "Compass," she commanded sternly. Dustin rolled his eyes once more before handing the compass over to Adira who had to hide her grin before handing it over to Nancy.

"Hey, there you go!" Steve said and quickly threw the backpack at Dustin and then pushed the boat further into the water and jumped in

"You said 4!" Dustin called out in annoyance. Steve looked back at Dustin with a fake look of guilt

"Sorry," Steve said and waved at them

"Bed time at 9 kiddos," Robin called out. Dustin flipped her off and glared at all of the teens on the boat

"One of us should have stayed back with them," Adira said in worry, looking over at the three teens on the bank, "maybe I should go back and stay with them," she said and went to stand up but Eddie grabbed her wrist

"They will be fine sweetheart," Eddie told her. Adira was filled with concern but she hesitantly nodded her head, sitting back down comfortably in her chair

"Be careful you guys, I love you!" Adira called out to them, waving over in their direction, "If something happens, call out to us okay, we will come straight back."
