July 4, 1985 Night
The group dashed back inside and Jonathan took an axe, while Nancy took a rifle. The others were in the cabin, sealing off and obstructing all windows and doors.
Once they were done, Nancy stood in the middle of the room with a shotgun. "Hey, get away from the windows." She ordered.
They all stood in a circle, Max held tightly onto Beth's hand as the lights flickered and plates started to shake.
Will felt his neck once again, knowing what was about to happen. "It's close."
From outside, the leaves rustled, the branches snapped, and heavy thuds were heard. The cups were smashed which made the group look around. Suddenly, there was silence.
"Where'd it go?" Max questioned as everyone panicked.
A tendril had rammed through the wooden wall and straight to El. She and the kids retreated against the wall, and before the claw can reach her, Jonathan slammed his axe into it.
He was about to repeat the action, when the arm smacked him away into a bookshelf. It trapped him in the corner, as Nancy began to shoot at it. But she ran out of bullets, so the arm went straight towards her.
It was inches away from Nancy's face, when El had held it back and snapped it off. The rest of the arm went back through the hole it came out of.
"Holy shit." Max gasped before a second and a third arm shot at El.
She used both arms to hold them, for a couple of seconds before El shredded the claw off making the remains shriek and crawl out the cabin.
It was silent once again, but suddenly the monster created a giant opening in the roof. It's arm reached out and grabbed El's ankle. It started to quickly pull her up. Everyone screamed her name and lunged forward. Mike was the first to grab El's arms to pull her down. She was screaming as the monster continued to tug at her. Everyone then proceeded to grab onto her.
"Nancy, shoot it!" Jonathan shouted.
The sound of the gun being cocked echoed before Nancy began to shoot at the creature. She shot at it's mouth where had been pulling up El. Lucas, who had been the only one not holding El, grabbed the axe and jumped onto a table. He yelled out before slamming down the axe on the arm. He continued to yell out as he hit the monster with the axe repeatedly as Nancy shot it. Lucas was able to severed the arm and El fell on top of everyone who had been pulling her.
She grabbed onto Mike as held her close, "El? Are you okay?"
"Does she fucking look okay to you?" Beth questioned him in a yell.
