"God," Lucas blurt. "What is this place?" Max asked. "Guys, come on. Keep moving," Steve demanded. Dustin fell behind; we heard him screaming for help, so we ran to him. He fell over a couple of times. "It's in my mouth! Some got on my mouth! Shit!" He screamed before he started coughing. "I'm okay," He sighed, looking up at us. We all continued to walk, groaning at him. "All right, Wheeler. I think we found your hub," Steve exclaimed. "Let's drench it," Mike declared. We poured the gasoline, getting ready to light it up.

"All right, you guys ready?" Steve asked. "Yeah," We exclaimed. "Light her up," Dustin demanded. "I am in such deep shit," Steve panted as he pulled out his lighter. "Go, go, go!" Steve yelled as we ran for the exit. "Let's go! Let's go!" Steve shouted. "Hey, this way!" He continued. I walked in front of Mike when I heard him fall. A vine grabbed onto his leg. "Help! Help! Help!" He screamed. I turn around, running to help him. I grabbed his arms, trying my best to pull him out as the others came and helped me. Steve took his bat, slamming it into the vine, setting Mike free. "Mike, are you okay?" I ask, holding onto his arm. All of a sudden we heard growling, we look at the Demo-dog in front of us. "Dart," Dustin panted. We all started talking at the same time before Dustin shushed us. "Trust me, please," he begged. "Hey. It's me, it's me. It's your friend, it's Dustin. It's Dustin, all right? You remember me? Will you let us pass? Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry about the storm cellar. That was a pretty douchey thing to do. You hungry? Yeah?" Dustin began. "Did I miss something, or-" I ask. "Dustin found a mini Demo-dog, and it ate his cat," Lucas whispered. "that thing ate mews?" I mumble. Steve shushed us. "I've got our favorite. See? Nougat. Look at that. Yummy. Here, all right? Eat up, buddy. Come on. Come on," Dustin whispered, waving us. We walked past the two as quiet as possible. Dustin got up, running with us out of the tunnel.

All of a sudden, we heard rumbling, and pieces of gravel fell down on us. "They're coming," Mike exclaimed as we heard roaring. "Run! Run!" Mike yelled. We made it to the rope. Max climbing up. Then Lucas, then Mike. Dustin, Steve, and I swiftly turned around as we saw the Demo-dogs. Then, they ran passed us. Barely even acknowledging our presence. Steve held Dustin, and I close. When all the Demo-dogs passed. Steve lifted me onto his shoulders as Mike pulled Dustin and me out of the tunnel. Steve getting out not too long after.

The light on the car shone brightly in our eyes as El was closing the gate. We covered our eyes from the burning light. Then, the light faded away.
