Chapter 8 - the Mind Flayer

Lucas, Dustin, Steve and Max picked Robin and me up and we'd go to the lab where Dart went. ''You're positive that was Dart?'' Lucas asked for confirmation. ''Yes, he had the exact same yellow pattern on his butt.'' ''He was tiny two days ago'' ''Well he's molted three times already.'' ''Malted?'' ''Molted.'' I answered with ''Shed his skin to make room for growth, like hornworms.'' ''When is he gonna molt again?'' ''It's gotta be soon. When he does, he'll be fully grown or close to it.'' ''And so will his friends'' Dustin said. ''Yeah, and he's gonna eat a lot more than cats.'' 'Wait a cat?'' Lucas stopped Dustin while saying it. ''Dart ate a cat?'' ''No, What?'' No ''What are you talking about. he ate mews'' ''Who is mews?'' ''It's Dustin's cat'' ''Steve!'' ''I knew it! You kept him.'' While Dustin and Lucas were arguing again Robin carefully poked me. ''Why have you been so silent the entire walk?'' I asked her. ''I think I'm scared to death, since we're going to a place where a lot of those demo things went to to safe your brother.'' ''Yeah okay, that's a reason, but it's probably gonna be a hell more scarier with the mind... The mindfl-'' ''What are you trying to say.'' ''The thing blocks me for saying the name. It's gonna me a hell more scarier with that thing.'' I knew now that we were getting really close... or the mindflayer had a bigger ratio of locating me. ''Guys! Stop it. We're almost there.'' ''How do you know?'' Max asked me. ''I feel it.''

After walking for another five minutes I felt we came closer and closer to the lab... To Will, ''I hear voices.'' I said. ''Who is there?'' A female voice said. We came out of the woods and saw Nancy and Jonathan standing together saying ''Steve?'' in unison. ''Nancy?'' He asked. ''Jonathan?'' I asked. ''What are you doing here?'' ''What are YOU doing here?'' ''We're looking for Mike and Will.'' ''Well Will is for a 100% sure in there.'' ''How do you know.'' Before I could answer Jonathan's questions I got interrupted by a screech coming from the lab. While we all were arguing on what to do Robin noticed something: ''The power is back.'' We ran to the fence hoping it would open, but after Jonathan and later Dustin pushing the opening button a hundred times we figured that the fence wasn't. But Dustin didn't stop pushing. He eventually got it. ''Guys... Something bad is happening over there.'' I said when Joyce, Mike, Hopper and an unconsious Will came out of the building. Jonathan stepped in the car and drove to the entry. 2 minutes later 2 cars drove by. One of them stopped, Hopper was driving it. ''Come on, get in!'' 

We drove to the Byers house. ''Isn't this a lot of weird things for Robin?'' Jonathan asked me at home. ''I told her, she had to know. Can someone explain us what the hell happened in that lab and why Joyce is sitting in her bedroom with her 'I'm sad don't disturb me' blanket wrapped around her. And where's Bob?'' ''I think you can connect the strings kiddo.'' ''Shit...'' Bob is dead, killed by Dart and his not so little anymore friends... He had given up his life for the kid of the love of his life... He died in a tragic way, a very tragic one. We currently couldn't do a lot except waiting. Hopper was on the phone calling who knows who. Jonathan was sitting next to Will. Nancy, Robin and I were in my bedroom. ''You and Jonathan finally cut the crap and came together?'' ''Wha-? What? What do you mean?'' ''Let me explain this easier. Why didn't you tell me you and him and sex.'' ''Okay that was too much, how did you know?'' ''I think everybody knew. You were the last ones to know. Right Robin?'' ''I honestly thought you were together already.'' ''Okay fine it's true.'' ''Why didn't you tell me, you promised.'' ''I know but you promised me too if there would come someone.'' ''I promised it for a guy... Not a girl.'' ''fair enough, but please Robin I'd like to know more about you.'' ''I don't think that's a good idea, I hear the couch. Will is waking up.'' I answered Nancy before Robin could say a thing. 

Dustin came in without knocking. ''You guys, we know what's in Will.'' ''Finally!'' ''You knew it already? How long?'' ''4 days I guess.'' ''Why didn't you say anything?'' ''I couldn't that shitty creature shut my mouth everytime I wanted to say it.'' ''Fine, but we have a plan. Will is a spy for the mindflayer right? He needs to know where he is, we're going to put him in in the shed and cover everything up. Joyce knows that Will is still in there. We're going to try to communicate with him'' We started covering everything up with blankets and hoped Will wouldn't notice where he was. After covering up the people not the closest to Will (Dustin, Lucas, Nancy, Steve, Robin and Max had to stay in the house. The ones that were close to Will or could help went in the shed (Joyce, Jonathan, Mike, Hopper and me.) We were right, when Will woke up he had no clue where he was.  He was looking around him, the mindflayer was looking around him. Even Will his chocolate brown eyes turned darker... The mindflayer almost had control over him. ''What? What is this? Why am I tied up?'' Will was struggling to sit normal still wearing his hospital gown. ''Will, we just wanna talk to you, we're not gonna hurt you.'' ''Where am I?'' He was getting angrier in the second. I looked at Will and my head started hurting again. ''Shit. Dick!'' I screamed to the mindflayer. ''What's wrong?'' Joyce asked. ''The headache. I think you gotta be fast, Will is fighting for his life in there. I really gotta go, I feel like my head is exploding.'' I just left and went back into the living room.

20 minutes after I left Hopper came in. ''What happened?'' Dustin asked. ''I think he's talking, just not with words.'' ''What's that?'' Steve asked and everyone around the table answered in unison: ''Morse code.'' ''H-E-R-E'' ''Will is still in there. He's talking to us'' Hopper concluded. We grabbed the walky talkies and started deciphering. Lucas and Max would give through the letters, I said the code Hopper gave us and Dustin would write it down. After some time we got 2 words 'Close gate' No idea what it was supposed to mean, I almost jumped out of my chair when the phone rang. ''Shit shit shit shit. Somebody put that down.'' ''A phone ringing could be anywhere, right?'' Steve asked. ''No, ours glitches because it hit the floor sometimes'' The ringing did glitch... We were dead. Nancy struggled with putting down the phone but she eventually did it, but we were still dead because a minute later we heard a screech from the demogorgon dogs, demodogs. ''That's not good.'' Dustin said. Hopper came in later with 2 guns, one for himself and one for someone else. ''Hey! Get away from the windows!'' Max, Lucas, Dustin, Robin and I got away from them. ''Do you know how to use this?'' Hopper asked Jonathan ''What?''Can you use this?'' ''I can.'' Nancy said and Hopper handed her the thing. Steve grabbed his bat and made himself ready. Lucas and his slingshot and I concentrated on the door and wouldn't let a single living demodog get through. Steve, Hopper, Nancy, Lucas and I were standing next to each other, with the others behind us. ''Where are they?'' Robin asked frightened. We heard a screech coming closer to the door and we all turned around to the place were we just heard the sound coming from. ''What are they doing?'' Nancy asked. We heard the sounds coming closer and closer, but they just didn't come inside, what was keeping them outside? Then we heard something none of us expected. It sounded like a whining demodog, something or someone out there had killed it. I know just 1 person that can kill one of those creatures... Could it be Eleven? No it would take all of her energy and god knows where she had to come from. ''Shit!'' Dustin yelled when a demodog came through the window and broke the glass. It wasn't moving though. ''Is it dead?'' Max asked. ''It looks dead.'' I answered her. Hopper softly kicked it with is to see whether it was really dead. The demodog was dead.

Behind the place where they demodog was lying very dead now we heard the door screech. The lock knob turned. I wanted to say ''Stand down. I know who it is'' I wanted to know who it was, what if it was a highly intelligent thing that could unlock doors from the outside? Then we were dead already. Someone with 2 feet with cropped jeans, a black jacket and shirt and goth make-up walked in. ''Tessa? I saw you.'' ''I know you'd come El.'' I said, dropped my focuse, walked to her and gave her a big hug. Everyone was staring at us. Only Hopper knew that she was still alive. Everyone was probably thinking now: Shit Eleven is still alive
