013 - Going Down

~Your POV~

"Just open the door!" Robin yelled and the room started moving again, this time going down.

I grabbed onto Robin's hand, just as we all started screaming. Our screams were muffled by the sound of the room moving so rapidly and boxes shifting around.

"We're going down, we're going down!" Steve yelled, stating the obvious. "Yeah, no shit, Harrington!" Robin replied. Dustin then ran back over to the small metal box on the wall, which contained all of the buttons he's just pressed. He began slamming down on them with his hands, before Erica ran across the room to join him.

When she did, the room came to an abrupt stop, making me lose my grip on Robin's hand and get tossed back. Whenever my body landed on the hard floor, I felt a sharp pain begin to make its way through my head.

~Robin's POV~

I groaned, rubbing my head with my now empty hand. "Y/n?" I opened my eyes, only to see her lying there, her eyes shut. "Guys," I crawled over to her body and hovered over her. "Guys!" Steve, Dustin, and Erica all looked at me. "Holy shit," Dustin ran over to us. "Is she breathing?"

I placed two of my fingers down on my neck to check her pulse. "Yes." I answered.

Then, instead of removing my fingers, I took my whole hand to caress the right side of her face. "Y/n?" I called her name again. "Do you have water?" Dustin asked me and I shook my head. "Why would I have water?" "I don't know. Sorry." He replied awkwardly. 

While looking down at her, my vision began to turn blurry from all sides. I closed my eyes for a second to let a single tear roll down my battered cheek and then opened them again. "Look for a way out," I instructed and they all scattered from the site.

"Y/n," I let out one last weak whisper before leaning down and pressing my lips down softly on her forehead. 

After I pulled away, I sat there on my knees for the next few minutes, before I heard a small noise escape from Y/n's lips.

~Your POV~

I moaned in displeasure at the sharp pain that was still spreading in my head. "Robin?" I propped myself up on my elbows to look at her. Under her eyes looked slightly puffed, while her eyes themselves looked glassy. When she looked at me, there was a sense of relief spread across her face. 

"Robin?" I asked again, still not exactly sure of what was going on. I haven't seen her like this before..I was absolutely clueless. I then tried to remember what had happened. 

~Flashback~

....."It really isn't working." I looked at Erica and she sighed. "Just press 'open door'!" She yelled, which made her, me, and Dustin start arguing. And before we knew it, Steve himself came over and started touching the buttons. "Just press the other button!"

"Just open the door!" Robin yelled and the room started moving again, this time going down.....

.....the room came to an abrupt stop, making me lose my grip on Robin's hand and get tossed back. Whenever my body landed on the hard floor, I felt a sharp pain begin to make its way through my head......

~End of Flashback~

"Well come on," Robin stood up, dusting off the back of her uniform. "Is everyone okay?" She asked, just as Steve hit the box on the wall. "Yeah, I'm great, now that I know that Russians can't design elevators!" I looked at Steve awkwardly as he had his sudden outburst. He started jamming his fingers into the buttons again.

"I think we've clearly established that those buttons don't work." Robin told him. "They're buttons, they have to do something!" Steve flailed his arms and hands around as he said so. "Yeah, if we had a keycard," Robin pointed out to him. "A what?" "It's an electronic lock. Same as the loading dock door. If we don't have a keycard, it won't operate. Meaning-" "We're stuck in here." Dustin finished for her. 

Erica then looked at us all. "Just so you nerds are aware," she started. "I'm supposed to be spending the night at Tina's, and Tina always covers for me. But if I'm not home for Uncle Jack's party tomorrow and my mom finds out that you four are responsible, she's gonna hunt you down, one by one and slit your throat," she gestured as she said 'slit your throat,' which caught me by surprise.

"I don't care about Tina! Or Uncle Jack's party! Your mom's not gonna be able to find us if we're dead in a Russian elevator." Steve burst out.

"The only way we're going to die is if we stay in here yelling at each other, Harrington! So why don't we all cut the bullshit and find a way out?" I suggested. "Hey," Dustin looked at me. "What if we climbed out?" He pointed up at the ceiling, where there was a trapdoor cut out in it. 

"Good enough for me," I sighed. 

After a few minutes, we stacked up enough boxes for each of us to reach the opening. I was the first one to climb up them, with the help of Steve holding my legs. 

Following behind me was Dustin and Steve. "Holy shit." I looked up. "What were you saying about climbing?" Steve asked Dustin. He didn't reply, but just continued to look up.

We were deep inside of Hawkins.

Aha..it's almost been two weeks since I last updated, but as I've said before, school has really been kicking my ass. But anyways..I don't know if some of this made any sense, so I'm going to explain. After you woke up, Robin didn't want you to see her crying, so she kind of just started acting differently than how she was a few seconds before..AND Steve has a little mood swing after your flashback, because he totally snaps when he couldn't find a way out. So..yeah. Stay tuned for the next chapter. I'll get it to you as soon as possible. Have a great day/night <3
