Remember, italics is Third Person Person POV with Joyce and Hopper in the Upside Down.

Joyce and Hopper slowly creep through the woods, flashlight beams cutting through the darkness.

Joyce moves forward, her light landing on a pile of sticks, shining on a wooden sign that reads 'Castle Byers'.

"Will!" She shouts, looking around for any sign of her boy.

"Will!"

"Will!" Hopper joins in the screaming.

"Will!"

All of a sudden, there's a screeching noise, like something was dying.

"You hear that?" Joyce walks forward.

The pair moves into "Joyce's" house, or more accurately, the Upside Down version of her house.

They come across a.....singed section of carpeting in the hallway.

"It was hurt." Hopper's voice echoes around.

They follow the slight trail into the living room.

Joyce suddenly turns on her heel, and stares forward for a minute.

Hopper's voice knocks her out of her stupor. She turns away and follows him out the door.

"Found it!" Dustin says, as he opens the fridge door. Me, him, and Lucas all start grabbing some. "Knew she was hoarding it. I knew it." He continues. "Mike! I found the chocolate pudding!" Dustin calls over his shoulder.

"Okay!" He yells back.

I poke my head around the corner just in time to see Mike move forward and kiss El.

I have eight words to say to that.

Why does it look like he's eating her?

I softly giggle, then turn my attention to the lights shining in through the window.

"Nancy. I'll be right back." Mike says, before he jumps up.

I smiled as I watched El turn to watch him leave.

Then I frown as a pit forms at the bottom of my stomach. Something's not right.

Lucas and Dustin empty their arms of the chocolate pudding. Something still doesn't feel right with me though.

And Mike just proved it.

He comes running in. "Guys. Guys! They found us."

We start running through the hallways.

"How did they find us?" Lucas pants as we rush down some stairs.

"I don't know." Mike answers.

We move forward, but then the doors in front of us are pulled open by people outside.

"Go go go go go go go!" Mike shouts, as we turn and sprint up the stairs.

We turn a corner, and stop as we come face to face with some more of Brenner's men.

We spin around and are met with Brenner's right hand woman.

We're trapped.

El glares at them long and hard, and the flashlights on their guns start to flicker.

The woman and the people behind her start to shake, as do the people behind us.

Blood starts dripping out of their eyes, ears, and noses.
