The screaming and sobbing from El made me hurt inside. El wails in pain which made me whimper. I didn't like it when El is hurt. I can hear the flesh sizzling.

"What is that?" Erica asked.

"There's something in there." I said pointing to her leg.

"No!" El exclaimed.

"Jesus Christ." Dustin panicked.

"Keep her talking. Keep her awake, okay?" Jonathan asked. He runs off to find something.

"Jesus Christ." Dustin yelled. Jonathan grunts, jumping over the counter of Imperial Panda he looks through the drawers, panting he exhales sharply as he finds gloves, and heats up a knife to sterilize it.

"Hey, hey, hey. Stay awake, stay awake. Let's get her on this side, on this side. Easy, easy, easy, easy." Mike tried.

"I know how to handle my sister you idiot," I yell to Mike shutting him up. We carefully move her so she's sat up slightly leaning against me. I didn't mind.

"(trying to play it calmly to calm El down) It's, uh... You know, it's not actually that bad. There was a... The goalie on my soccer team, Beth Wildfire, this other girl slid into her leg, and the bone came out of her knee, six inches or something there was blood everywhere, it was insane." Robin tried I just looked at her.

"Robin!" Steve piped up.

"Yeah?" Robin asked.

"You're not helping here!" Steve answered. 

"I'm sorry..." Robin answered. I could hear running footsteps as Jonathan runs back over with the knife and gloves.

"Okay. All right, El? This is gonna hurt like hell, okay?" Jonathan asked. I didn't let go of her hand.

"(sobs) Okay." El answered.

"(puts on gloves) I need you to stay really still. Here, you're going to want to bite down on this, okay?" Jonathan asked as he passed her a wooden spoon and I grabbed her hand.

"Jesus Christ!" Dustin says. Eleven whimpers, putting the spoon in her mouth gripping my hand.

"Holy shit. Holy shit." Dustin yelled. Jonathan readies the knife. Mike looks at me and I nod slightly.

"Do it." I pipe up.

"Okay." Jonathan answered. Dustin shifts on the floor uncomfortably. Eleven screams as the knife entered her leg. The screaming continues. Nancy passed out on the floor and suddenly regained conscienceless 10 seconds later.

"Oh, shit!" Dustin yelled. As Jonathan finishes the incision, El screams, nearly sobbing. Eleven screeches in pain as Jonathan puts his fingers into the cut. Eleven whimpers and sobs as she grips my hand tighter, I kissed the side of her head for support.

"Jonathan!" Nancy cried.

"Stop talking!" Jonathan exclaimed, "I need to concentrate Nancy!". Eleven screams as his fingers move, trying to catch the moving creature.

"Goddamn it!" Jonathan yelled.

"(spits out the spoon) No! Stop it! Stop! Please, just stop!" El begged. Jonathan pulls away when Nancy puts a hand on him.

"(grunts) Let Alex do it. She can do it." El said. El sits up crying and nods at me. There was low frequency vibration I start using my powers on the thing. El wails into my stomach.

"Ouch!" El screams through gritted teeth. The vibrations intensify.

"God!" I screamed. The creature chittering, close to the surface. El continues to wail into my stomach I start screaming. The screaming continues, accidentally breaking the nearby shop window Max wails as the glass breaks and falls. Eleven's screaming continues and it is mixed with my screaming. The creature shrieks as it is finally removed. My scream continues as I throw it away from us I grunt slightly. The creature chitters painfully it starts crawling away, screeching a heavy boot comes down on it. I stand up with a bit of pain and lift my hand up not looking up trying to get my balance. Everyone looks over at the people that have arrived in Starcourt I drop my hand when I realised it was dad. I tried to run to him but end up falling into Joyce's arms. They clean up Eleven's wound and all sit down around the fountain my head was in dads lap.
