Caught In The Loop | Steve Harrington X Reader

~13~ The Powers of Reconstruction

He has every reason to be mad right now. It hurts, but he has his reasons. He's probably concerned and we're in danger too now.

I nod and turn to Max. Steve quickly grabs a sheet of metal and put's it against the door.

"They can't get in! They can't!" Lucas protests.

Max screams as the bus rattles and shakes. Everyone screams when they manage to break through.

"SHIT!"

The kids run to the back as Steve grabs my ax and chops off the arm that tries to claw at him.

There's loud screeching in the distance and Dustin fumbles around for the walkie-talkie. He picks up to his face in a panic. "Is anyone there? Mike? Will? God! Anyone!"

There's a loud banging and Dustin curses again.

"We're at the old junkyard, and we are going to die!" Dustin speaks into the microphone. Max looks up to the ladder, her eyes fearful.

Steve grunts and falls back as there is loud banging. We watch as it slowly, pounds the roof. I have a bad feeling it's crawling across the top to meet us at...

One of the faces peer down the hole.

The middle of us.

Max screams loudly full of fear which breaks the silence and Steve scrambles to his feet.

"Out of the way! Out of the way! You want some? Come get this!" 

He has his bat again and I look over, seeing that the ax has dissolved back into plain old metal. I cuss under my breath angrily.

The monster peers down, opening it's face and screeching. It stops suddenly and turns it's head slightly. It backs up and growls as Steve continues to stare at it with the bat. It jumps off the roof, shaking the bus.

"What the fuck?" I gasp out of breath.

The sound of monsters growl in the distance but don't sound close to us at all. We all stand silent, fearful and confused. Did they just...back away? Runoff? Surrender? My eyes look down, and I see.

Max and Lucas. Hands cupped together. They quickly let go but this is no right time to bring that topic up. Some of us take deep breaths, Steve still looking toward the ladder and avoiding eye contact with all four of us.

Steve peers out the door slightly and it bangs from the cracked metal. "Geez."

"What, happened?" Lucas asks inching out the door.

"I don't know." Max asks.

"Y/N, did you do something?" Dustin questions.

"No, I didn't. I couldn't have lead them away." I reply, all of us slowly inching our way out the door.

"Steve scared 'em off?"

"No." Steve answers himself.

"No way."

He then turns to us with such a serious face. "They're going somewhere."

All four of us stay silent, trying to think for a moment. My heart pounds loudly in my ears and I begin to realize where. Or possibly where...

"Y/N what's the matter?" Steve asks concerned.

The three other kids turn to my shaken up face. I look at all of them directly, then finally at Steve.

One word escapes my lips in a whisper.

"Will."
