Mike POV
My friends and I went back my basement with the girl. She sat on couch while we were in front of her.
Mike: Is there a number we can call for your parents?
Dustin: Where's your hair? Do you have cancer?
Lucas: Did you run away?
Ro: Are you in some kind of trouble?
Lucas: Is that blood?
Lucas tried to reach, but Ro slapped his hand away which made the girl flinch.
Ro: Don't touch her, you're freaking her out!
Lucas: She's freaking me out!
Dustin: I bet she's deaf.
Dustin then clapped his hand in front of her face which made her flinch again.
Dustin: Not deaf.
Mike: All right that's enough, okay? She's just scared and cold.
I walked away for a moment and grabbed some of my clothes.
I came back and gave them to her.
Mike: Here, these are clean. okay?
The girl then put the clothes down and stood up.
Then out of nowhere, she tried to pull up her t-shirt-
Ro: Wait! No, no, no!
The guys: Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!
Ro immediately stopped her. While the boys and I turned around and covered our eyes in distress.
Ro: See over there?
Ro pointed at the bathroom.
Ro: That's the bathroom, privacy. Get it?
The girl then grabbed the clothes and went inside the bathroom.
I followed behind her to close the door, but she stopped me.
Mike: You don't want to close?
El: ...No.
Mike: Oh so you can speak. Okay well, how about we keep the door...
I closed the door a little bit more until there was a small crack.
Mike: Just like this. Is that better?
El: Yes.
____________________________________
Dustin: This is mental.
Ro: At least we know she can talk.
Lucas: She said yes and no, your 3-year old brothers can say more than that.
Dustin: She tried to get naked.
Lucas: There's something seriously wrong with her. Like wrong in the head. I bet she escaped from Pennhurst.
Mike: From where?
Ro: Are you talking about the nut house from Kerley County?
Lucas: Yeah.
Dustin: You got a lot of family there?
Lucas: Bite me. But think about it. That would explain her shaved head and why she's really crazy.
Ro: She's not that crazy.
Lucas: She's still weird. She's an escapee is the point. She's probably a psycho.
Dustin: Like Micheal Myers.
Lucas: Exactly. We should've never brought her here.
Mike: So you just wanna to leave her out in the storm?
Lucas: Yes! We went out to find Will, not another problem!
Ro: We should probably tell Mrs. Wheeler.
Lucas: I second that.
Dustin: Me too.
Mike: Who's crazy now?
Lucas: How is that crazy?
Mike: Because, we weren't supposed to be out tonight remember?
Lucas: So?
Mike: So if I tell my mom, and she tells your mom, your mom, and your mom...
Dustin: Oh man.
Ro: Our houses will become Alcatraz.
Mike: Exactly, we'll never find Will, so here's the plan. She sleeps here tonight.
Dustin: You're letting a girl-
Mike: Just listen. In the morning, she sneaks around my house, goes to the front door and ring my doorbell. My mom will answer and know exactly what to do. It'll send her to whatever she comes from, and we'll totally be in the clear. And tomorrow night we go back out, and this time we'll find Will.

Your outfit
The next day
Ro's POV
Back at school, I sat in the middle next to Lucas and Dustin and noticed Mike isn't here.
Dustin: Okay, this is weird. He's never this late.
Lucas: I'm telling you, his stupid plan failed.
Ro: I thought you liked his plan.
Lucas: Yeah, but obviously it was stupid, or he'd be here.
Dustin: If his mom found out a random girl spent the night-
Ro: He'd be in deep shit right about now.
Dustin: Wait, what if she slept naked?
Ro: Oh my god Dustin, she didn't.
Dustin: Oh If Mrs. Wheeler tells my mom...
Lucas: No way, Mike wouldn't rat us out like that.
Dustin: I don't know.
Lucas: All that matters is after school, the freak will be back in the loony bin, and we can focus on what really matters, finding Will.
____________________________________
After school, Lucas, Dustin, and I rode our bikes to Mike's house.
When we went upstairs into his room, he saw the girl again.
Lucas: Are you out of your mind?
Mike: Just listen to me.
Lucas: You are out of your mind!
Mike: She knows about Will!
Dustin: What do you mean she knows about Will?
Mike then grabs a picture of us.
Mike: She pointed at him, at his picture. She knew he was missing. I could tell.
Ro: Are you sure?
Mike: Just think about it. Do you really think it was a coincidence that we found her on Mirkwood, the same place Will disappeared?
Dustin: That is weird.
Mike: And she said that bad people are after her. I think these bad people are the same ones that took Will. I think she knows what happened.
Lucas: Then why won't she tell us?
Lucas then looks at the girl and walks towards her.
Lucas: Do you know where he is?
The girl stayed silent.
Lucas: Do you know where Will is!
He says the second time while grabbing her shoulders.
Ro: Lucas calm down, she looks scared.
Lucas: She should be scared!
He turned back to El
Lucas: If you know where he is, tell us!
The girl still says nothing.
Lucas: This is nuts. We have to take her to your mom.
Mike: No, Eleven said telling any adult would put us in danger.
Dustin: What kind of danger?
Ro: Her name is Eleven?
Mike: El for short-
Dustin: Mike, what kind of danger?
Mike: Danger, Danger.
Mike then shapes his hand into a gun and points it at Dustin, than me, than Lucas until he slaps Mike's hand away.
Lucas: No, no, no! We're going back to plane A! We're telling your mom!
Lucas then rushed to the door and opened it, but it closed immediately.
He tried opening it again, but it closed again and locked.
The 4 of us looked at El and some blood coming out of her nose.
El: No.

Later Lucas, Dustin, and I had dinner with the Wheelers.
Karen: Something wrong with the meatloaf?
Dustin: Oh no, I just had two bologna sandwiches for lunch.
Lucas: Me too.
Ro: Yeah same.
I lied, this food is dry.
____________________________________
After dinner we went back downstairs into the basement with a try of food.
Mike: El?
We see El under the fort, messing with Mike's supercom.
Mike: No adults, just us and some meat loaf.
El then looks at me, Lucas, and Dustin.
Mike: Don't worry, they won't tell anyone about you. They promise, right?
El looks at us again.
Dustin: We never would've upset you if we knew you had super powers.
I hit Dustin's arm.
Dustin: Ow hey!
Ro: What Dustin was trying to say is that we were scared earlier. That's all.
Lucas: We just wanted to find out friend.
El: Friend?
Lucas: Yeah, friend. Will?
El: What is friend?
Lucas looks at me.
Lucas: Is she serious?
Ro: Don't look at me.
He looked back at El.
Lucas: Uh, a friend-
Mike: Is someone that you'd do anything for.
Dustin: You lend them your cool stuff, like comic books or trading cards.
Ro: And go out and hang like at the arcade.
Mike: And they never break a promise.
Lucas: Especially when there's spit.
El: Spit?
Lucas: A spit swear means you never break your word. That's a bond.
Lucas says as he spit his hand and grabs Dustin's hand.
Mike: That's super important, because friends... they tell each other things.
Mike says as Dustin wipes out the spit of his hand with his shirt.
Mike: Things that parents don't know.
____________________________________
After El was done eating, she walks up to the table where we play D&D, and looks down at our D&D board.
We all walked to her.
Lucas: What is the weirdo doing?
Ro: Can you at least stop calling her a weirdo?
Mike: El?
She then holds one of our figures that looks like a wizard.
El: Will.
Dustin: Superpowers.
Mike then sits next to El and looks at her.
Mike: Did you see him on Mirkwood? Do you know where he his?
El clears the board with her arms, and turned the board upside down.
She puts the wizard figure (Will) in the middle of the board.
Mike: I don't understand.
El: Hiding.
Mike: Will is hiding?
El nods her head yes.
Mike: From the bad men?
She nods her head no.
Mike: Then from who?
She then placed the Demogorgon figure next to the wizard figure.
What the hell.
