Loss - Lucas Sinclair

Will the Wise (Part 3)

It was the first in almost a year that Nikki left the house. To say she was nervous was an understatement. Her palms were clammy, her breath was short and her heart was beating a million times per hour.

"Hey," Gwen grabbed her hand trying to comfort her. "It's going to be okay. I'm not going to let anyone get to you."

"Okay," Nikki sighed as she stepped out of the house.

She didn't know what to expect. She thought that maybe Brenner would find her in two seconds if she stepped away from her safe haven.

Nothing happened. No one was outside in the neighborhood and no cars passed by as she walked towards the car.

She sat in the passenger seat trying to remain calm as Gwen turned on the car and buckled up.

Gwen looked at Nikki who was looking a little pale but otherwise pretty okay.

"Buckle up," Gwen said starting to put the car in reverse.

"What?" Nikki asked beyond confused.

Gwen laughed lightly before reaching across Nikki for the seatbelt.

Seeing the strap made Nikki's heart beat faster and made her jump a little bit. All she could think of was the chair back at the lab.

"It's okay," Gwen tried to calm her down. "It's just going to protect you in case we get into a car accident."

Nikki wanted to fight but quickly tried to relax when she saw a blue haze coming from her hands.

"Okay," Gwen said when she finished strapping her in, "ready?"

Nikki nodded, scared if she tried to talk she would lose control of her powers.

"All right, let's go."

***

It was late at night and everyone in the Sinclair home was asleep. Everyone except Lucas, who laid in his bed staring up at the ceiling, replaying his talk with Max over and over again.

How does she know about Nikki and El? What does she know about them?

Then it drifted over to their problems with the Upside Down.

What is going on with Will? What is the shadow he saw? Where is Dart? Is Dart really from the Upside Down?

Then it drifted to the girls.

Are they even alive? If so, where are they?

He looked outside the window to see the stars in the sky.

Where are you, Nikki?

Authors note
So I already know I posted today, but when I wanted to get a head start on the next chapter so I could post it tomorrow, I realized that there wasn't much left in the episode. And I would feel bad if I gave you only this much in one day. So I finished writing the episode and wrote a small part just for fun.

Hope you guys liked it!

Love ya!!❤️❤️❤️
