CHAPTER NINE Hawkins Lab ╚════∘◦☆◦∘════╝
LUNA REALLY WISHED that Steve had drove to the junkyard, cause now she and the others were walking along the train tracks all the way back to his car. And after everything they just went through back there with the monster who's mouth opens up, she really didn't think walking in the dark of the night was the best of ideas.
"You're positive that was Dart?" Lucas asked Dustin.
"Yes." Dustin replied, "He had the same exact yellow pattern on his butt."
"He was tiny two days ago." Max comments.
"Well, he's molted three times already." Dustin responded.
"You mean malted?" Steve asked.
Luna shakes her head, "Molted."
"Means to shed his skin to make room for growth like hornworms." Dustin explains.
"When's he gonna molt again?" Max asked him.
"Hopefully not anytime soon." Luna mumbled.
"That's not likely." Dustin replied. "He'll molt soon and he'll be fully grown, or close to it."
"And so will his other buddies," Luna sighed heavily. "Great."
"Yeah, and he's gonna eat alot more than just cats." Steve chimed in.
"Wait." Lucas stops Dustin in his tracks placing a hand on his shirt, "A cat?" He exclaimed, "Dart ate a cat?"
Dustin scoffed, "No, what? No."
"What are you talking about? He ate Mews." Steve replied.
"Busted." Luna muttered.
"Mews?" Max asked, "Who's Mews."
"It was Dustin's cat."
"Luna!" Dustin shouts in retaliation.
"Hey! Don't blame me for your lies!"
Lucas shoves Dustin, "I knew it! I knew you kept him!"
"No!" Dustin replied. "No. No, I...No, I..." Eventually he gives up with a defeated sigh, "He missed me. He wanted to come home."
