The fireworks could be heard popping and crackling distantly. There was a sound of a crowd cheering distantly.

"He said he was building something. That it was all for us." El said before looking at me.

"What the fuck have I ever done to him." I answer looking confused.

"Building something... Is he talking about the flayed?" Max asked.

"He must be." Nancy answers. I just sit there confused.

"So, he's building an army, just like we thought." Lucas states.

"Yeah, but he's not building this army to spread." Mike points out.

"He's building it to stop the two girls." Will said pointing to me and El.

"Last year, El and Tess closed the gate on him. I have a feeling that really pissed him off." Mike says.

"Like, royally." Lucas continued.

"And the Mind Flayer now knows that they are the only thing that can stop him. But if they are out of the way-" Mike starts.

"Game over." Lucas answered. I walked up to him and hugged him.

"He also said he was gonna kill all of you." El pipes up.

"He won't kill me without a good fight from my end." I answer.

"Yeah, well, that's nice." Max continues. I could hear faint screeching noise I look at Nancy. Nancy walks over to the window. The faint screeching noises continue.

"Do you guys hear that?" Nancy asked before giving a shudder. I nod.

"It's just the fireworks." Jonathan answered.

"Billy... When he told you this, it was here, in this room?" Nancy asked. El nods I was just confused. There was distant thudding noise. I stood up and looked ready. The fluttering sound could be heard.

Will: [reaches for his neck to feel the goosebumps] He knows we're here." Will says.

Alex: Fucking hell." I mumble. We leave the house and see the creature on the hill. The trees was rustling as the monster got closer. The creature snarls as it got closer. It also screeches loud which annoys me. Nancy opens the shed and looks around. She grabs the shotgun as Jonathan grabs the axe I just look at them. The kids start barricading the cabin as I grab some weapons from where I was hiding them. El starts grunting as I arrive back.

"Yeah. That's good like that." Mike says.

"Hey, get away from the windows." Nancy yells.

"(pulls out a gun from her back pocket and checks if it's loaded) I'm ready." I point out.

"And she has a gun." Nancy states.

"What dad says I always need to be armed it's usually a knife but it stabbed me one time." I answered. We were all panting, as we stand in the middle of the cabin. The lamp starts squeaking. The rumbling was getting pretty loud. I could hear the electric crackling. I just stand there ready. Almost everyone gasps as me and El look at each other. The breathing was going rapidly around the room.

"It's close." Will pipes up. The leaves start rustling. I could tell the branches was snapping as the creature got closer. We could all hear the rumbling footsteps. The glasses was clinking. The rumbling stops as I look around.

"Where'd it go?" Max asked.

"You think I know I'm fighting the same battle you're fighting." I answered. The creature shrieks and breaks through the wall. Everyone was gasping and moving out the way of the tendril I just stood there. Jonathan yells, grunts as he pulls the tendril away from El using the axe I ran to El using my powers to make it move away. The creature shrieks as me and Jonathan fight against it. Jonathan grunts and sinks the axe into the tendril again as I used my powers to stop it. Jonathan yells as it throws him into a wall I look at it and lift both my hands up. The creature shrieks, the tendril now going after Jonathan. Jonathan groans as I use my powers against it.
