Chapter 41

"Mm-hmm." She said not looking up from what she was doing

"Is this what you saw last night?" Asked Nancy pointing at the drawing.

"I mean, it's suppose to be." Max says "I thought it'd be easier to draw it out then to explain it, but... not so much."

"Is that....?" Marley asked pulling a drawing of two people Marley guessed as Chrissy and Fred all there bones were broken and it was like they were wrapped in vines.

"It was like they were on display." Max said "and then there was this red fog everywhere, it was like a dream. A nightmare."

"You think Vecnas just trying to scare you?" Asked Nancy

"With Billy, yeah. But when I made it here... I dunno, something was different. He seemed surprised, almost. Like he didn't want me there."

"Maybe you infiltrated his mind." Dustin suggested coming over to the table. "He invaded you mind right? It is that big a leap to suggest you somehow wound up in his? Like Freddie Krueger's boiler room."

"Freddie Krueger?" Asked Holly

"He's a super burned up dude, with razors for fingers." Dustin explained "and he kills you in your dreams."

"Seriously!" Nancy and Marley said glancing at him

"Sorry, it's a movie." Dustin apologised "it's not real. Just think about it, what if you somehow unlocked a back door to Vecnas world? Like, maybe the answer we're looking for is so where in the incredibly vague drawing." Dustin picked up a page and looked at it. "God we need Will." He deadpanned

"No shit." Max stated "but I tried them again this morning, and it's the same busy signal."

"Is this a window?" Marley asked looking at one of the drawings.

"Yeah." Max said

"Stained glass with roses."  Marley went on

"Yeah, see? I'm not so terrible after all." Max says looking at Dustin, who makes a face.

"Yeah, we'll it helps that I've seen it before." Marley said, she began folding the pages and then fitting them together like a puzzle, they all watched as she grabbed a black texta and traced the outlines

"It's prices of a house." Max said

"Not just any house." Marley said placing the last piece of paper on the 'house.'

"It's Victor creels house." Added Nancy standing up.

"Where are you going?" Questioned Dustin

"Waking the others." She said

Dustin jumped up and lent over the bench.

"Sorry, fuel for the road. Thanks, mr Wheeler." Dustin smiled running after Marley and Nancy.

They were quick to wake the others, and they headed to the Creel house. it didn't take long for them to arrive, Steve came to a stop out the front and they all jumped out the car stoping half way up the front path.

The house was a two story building with a attic, it was painted a navy blue with chipped white trims, the windows were boarded up and there were vines growing off the walls.

"Yeah, That's not creepy." Muttered Steve they walked up the last of the path and to the front door, which was also boarded up.
