━━━━━━━━━━━━ You have never moved so fast before then you did getting out of Hoppers car and running into your house.
"Mum!" you call out running inside the house
"Oh, sweetie" Joyce says pulling her daughter into a hug
"I'm sorry, i should of been with you" you say into her shoulder
"No, no. It's okay. I didn't want you to go back to that place" Joyce says rubbing your back
You slowly pull away from Joyce as Will catches your eye as he lays unconscious on the lounge.
"Oh, my god" you say walking over to him
"He's fine, we just can't trust him right now" Joyce tells you
"Trust him?" you ask turning to her and she nods
You sigh turning back to Will and moving some off his hair off of his forehead as a tear falls down your face. You then feel someone sit down beside you lean on their side knowing it's Steve.
"Sam Owens. Dr Sam Owens" Hopper says in the kitchen on the phone "I don't know how many people are there!" he says getting angry
"I don't know how many people are left alive!"
"I am the police! Chief Jim Hopper!"
"Yes, the number that i gave you, yes. Yes, i will be here" he says hanging up the phone
"They didn't believe you did they?" Dustin asks him
"We'll see" Hopper says
"'We'll see'? We can't just sit here while those things are loose!" Mike snaps at him
"We stay here, and we wait for help" Hopper says and walks over into Joyce's room
You wipe your tears before getting up off the ground with Steve and they walk over to the kitchen where you sit up on the bench where Steve standing next to you.
"Did you guys know that Bob was the original founder of Hawkins AV?" Mike asks them breaking the silence
"Really?" Lucas asks him
"He petitioned the school to start it and everything. Then he had a fundraiser for equipment. Mr Clarke learned everything from him. Pretty awesome, right?" Mike explains "We can't let him die in vain"
"What do you want to do, Mike? The Chiefs right on this. We can't stop those Demo-dogs on our own" Dustin snaps at him
"Demo-dogs?" Max asks confused
"Demogorgon dogs. Demo-dogs. It's like a compound. It's like a play on words-"
"Okay" Max cuts Dustin off
"I mean, when it was just Dart, maybe..." Dustin trails off
"But there a army now" Lucas tells them
"Precisely" Dustin says
"His army" Mike says quickly
"What do you mean?" Steve asks as he turns a little to look at them
"His army" Mike says louder "Maybe if we stop him, we can stop his army, too" he then grabs one of Wills drawings
"The shadow monster" Dustin says looking at Wills drawing
"It got Will that day on the field. The doctor said it was like a virus, it infected him" Mike explains to them
"And so his virus, it's connecting him to the tunnels?" Max asks
"To the tunnels, monsters, the upside down, everything" Mike tells her
"Whoa. Slow down. Slow down" Steve says to them
"Okay, so, the shadow monsters inside everything. And if the vines feel something like pain, then so does Will" Mike explains
"And so does Dart" Dustin adds on
"Yeah, like what Mr Clarke taught us. The hive mind" Mike says
"Hive mind?"
"A collective consciousness. It's a super-organism" Dustin explains
"And this is the thing that controls everything. It's the brain" Mike says
"Like the mind flayer" Dustin says and the three boys then look at each other as Lucas clicks his finger
"What?"
Dustin then pulls out Wills D&D book placing it down onto the table where they are standing around looking down at it.
"The Mind Flayer" Dustin says opening the book up
"What the hell is that?" Hopper asks him
"It's a monster from an unknown dimension. It's so ancient that it doesn't even know it's true home. Okay, it's enslaves races of others dimensions by taking over their brains using its highly developed psionic powers" Dustin explains to him
"Oh, my, god, none of this is real. This is a kids game" Hopper says annoyed
"No, it's a manual. And it's not for kids. And unless you know something that we don't, this is the best metaphor-"
"Analogy" Lucas cuts Dustin off
"Analogy? That's what you're worried about? Fine. An analogy for understanding whatever the hell this is" Dustin says
"Okay, so this Mind Flamer thing-"
"Mind Flayer"
"What does it want?" Nancy asks
"To conquer us, basically. It believes it's the master race" Dustin says
"Like the Germans?" Steve asks and everyone looks over at him
"Ah, the Nazis" Dustin says to him
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Nazis" Steve says looking down at the table embarrassed
"Uh... If the Nazis were from another dimension, totally. Uh, it views other races, like us, as inferior to itself" Dustin tells them
"It wasn't to spread, take over other dimension" Mike says
"We are talking about the destruction of our world as we know it" Lucas says
"That's great. That's great. that's really great. Jesus!" Steve says walking away running a hand through his hair
"Great. So how do we kill this thing? Shoot it with Fireballs or something?" Hopper asks looking in the book
"No. Me. I kill it" you say making them look at you
"No, yeah. She's right" Dustin says nodding to you "Because, uh, you summon an undead army, uh, because zombies, you know, they don't have brains, and the Mind Flayer, it like brains. It's just a game. It's just a game"
"What the hell are we doing here?" Hopper asks getting more annoyed
"I thought we were waiting for your military backup" Dustin says to him
"We are"
"What are they going going to do? Shoot a shadow?!" you snap at him angrily "If that's the thing that is controlling everything then i have to kill it"
"You don't know that! We don't know anything!" Hopper tells you "How do we know you can kill it?"
"Actually, she can" Steve says stepping in "She basically did at the junk yard"
"She did it was insane" Dustin then adds on
"Look, we know it's already killed everyone in that lab" you tell them
"We know the monsters are gonna molt again" Lucas adds
"We know that it's only a matter of time before those tunnels reach this town" Dustin adds
"They're right" Joyce says coming into the room and they all turn to face her "We have to kill it. I want to kill it" she says and Hopper walks up to her
"Me. too. Me, too, Joyce, okay? But how do we do that? We don't exactly know what we're dealing with here" Hopper tells her "We can't leave it all to (y/n)"
"But he does" you say looking at Will "If anyone knows how to kill this thing, it's Will. He's connected to it. He'll know how to" you says walking over to your brother
"I thought we couldn't trust him anymore. That he's the spy for the mind flayer now" Max says to you
"Yeah, but he can't spy if he doesn't know where he is"
You and Hopper then walk outside to the old shed where he turns on the light. There is stuff where that will take almost an hour to get out.
"Yeah, this will do" Hopper says with a nod "Let's get everything out"
"I can do one better" you say stepping forward and with a snap of your fingers everything in the shed is gone
"Impressive" Hopper says with a nod
⋆｡˚ ⋆
You stand with Steve back inside the shed while the two of you are covering up all the walls. You haven't said a word making Steve worried.
"Baby, i'm worried. What's going on?" Steve asks jumping down from the bench
"This isn't going to end unless i kill it. It's all on me" you tell him "I'm freaking out"
"I know. But i need you to take care of yourself" Steve say cupping your face in his hands "I need you to come back to me, i don't want you going missing again"
"I was 5, you didn't even know who i was when i went missing" you say with a chuckle
"I know. But imagine if you didn't go missing, we could of met sooner and been together sooner" Steve says with a small smile
"I'm sorry"
"No, no don't apologise. You have nothing to be sorry for" Steve says shaking his head
"Okay" you say nodding "You know, you are really the best thing to ever happen to me?"
"I am?" Steve asks looking down at you with dove eyes
"It was sad in that lab, couldn't think of anything happy in there at all, but then i met you and everything changed" you say wrapping your arms around his neck "You make me so happy"
"You made me happy also. In all of my high school years i have never seen myself as happy then when you came along" Steve says moving his hands down to your waist "I realise how bad my friends where and that i didn't need them in my life, all i need is you"
"Oh, Stevie" you say smiling and lean up to kiss his lips
"Hey, get a move on!" Hopper says walking in making the couple pull away "We don't have time to make out"
"Sorry, sorry" you say and click your fingers again making all the walls covered
"Really? Couldn't do that before?" Steve says with a smile making you giggle
They sit Will in a chair up against the poll in the middle of the room tied up. All around the room they have hung up lights shining directly at him.
With Jonathan, Joyce, Mike and Hopper all stand behind you as you sit in a chair in front of Will who is now awake.
"Do you remember when i first came home? You showed me where my room was and it was only a bed and desk in there. We then spent weeks finding posters and photos and all these decorations for my room to make it feel like my own. We didn't rest, we spent all day and night that we ended up fast asleep in my bed. You made me feel so welcome, and you made me feel like i was finally home again" you say with tears falling down your face
"He's going to kill you" Will says leaning forward "He's going to kill you!" he screams making you jump back "You're going to die! You're going to die!"
As Will keeps screaming you move out of the chair and run back inside with tears falling down your face. Steve watches from the window and quickly moves as you walk inside.
"Hey, hey, hey" Steve says grabbing onto your shoulder
"It's not him. I need to remember that" you say trying to catch your breath
"What happened, baby?" Steve asks wiping the tears off your cheeks
"He was screaming at me. Saying 'He's going to kill you' and 'You're going to die' He wasn't Will" you say looking at him
You close your eye's whispering 'It's not him' again as Steve pulls you into his arms as he kissing the top of your head.
Hopper then rushes inside not long after you with the other three following him as he sits down at the table.
"What happened?" Dustin asks
"I think he's talking, just not with words" Hopper says writing down onto the pater
"What is that?" you ask him
"Morse code"
"H-E-R-E" Hopper reads out
"Here"
"Wills still in there. He's talking to us"
"Mum?" you ask turning to her "Can i stay with Steve?"
"Of course" Joyce says putting a hand on your shoulder "Are you okay? I know it's hard"
"I'm fine, just want to stay with Steve" you getting a nod from her
Joyce joins the rest back in the shed as you move back into Steve's arms where he holds you tightly.
Dustin and Lucas sit by the walkie as Hopper sends them the code, Max then looks at the morse code alphabet telling Nancy the letter where she writes it down.
"Dash, dot, dash, dot" Lucas says as Dustin writes down on the paper
"Yeah, i got it. C" Max says with Nancy writing it down
"L"
"O"
"S"
"E"
"G"
"A"
"T"
"E"
The last code comes through with Nancy lifting up the paper as they all stand behind her.
"Close gate"
The group turn around to look at you seeing your wide eyes understanding what you need to do.
You jump when the phone starts to ring making Dustin quickly hang it up.
It's quiet for a moment before it rings again making you use your powers to rip it off the wall.
"That's one way to do it" Dustin says turning to you
"Do you think he heard that?" Max asks them
"It's just a phone. It could be anywhere, right?" Steve says as he wipes the blood from under your nose
Your head snaps to the window once you hear the demo-dogs start screeching and you suck in a breath.
"It knows where we are" you say as the kids run towards the windows
Hopper runs back inside with Will in his hands and places him in the closet room which is yours.
"Get away from the window!" you yell to the kids making them move behind you as you stand in front of everyone
"Do you know how to use this?" Hopper asks looking to Jonathan holding out another gun to him
"What?"Jonathan asks him
"Can you use this?" Hopper asks him again and he stuggles to answer
"I can" Nancy says walking up to him and grabs the gun from him
Hopper moves to stand next to you with Nancy on his other side. Steve moves closer to you with the bat in his hands as your hands glow purple
"Where are they?" Max asks as they can hear they getting closer
"What are they doing?" Nancy asks
The demo-dog moves to the front of the house into the plants making them all turn that way, but suddenly the noise stops
Glass breaks and shaders onto the floor as the demo-dog comes flying through the window and stopping right in front of you as it is wrapped in purple.
"Holy shit"
"Is it dead?" Max asks watching you
"It's dead" you nod your head as the monster drops to the ground
But you then snap your head towards the front door as your hands glow purple again watching as the lock slowly unlocks from the outside.
Next the chain lock then slides off as the door slowly creeps open as a girl walks inside with dark clothes and makeup on.
