1. The Vanishing Of Will Byers

It had been two weeks since our move to Hawkins. It was currently the night of November 6th, 1983. You may be thinking what's with the date. That's because that's when shit started to happen. Hunter was currently next door in the Wheeler's basement playing D&D with his new group of friends. Mike Wheeler, Will Byers, Lucas Sinclair and lastly, Dustin Henderson. I was with Nancy up in her room. "Have you done any studying for this test?" She asked me and I looked at her.

"I haven't even had time to completely settle in. Let alone study for a test." I said to her with a smile, she shook her head.

"Y/n Solace you truly are another kind." She said to me with a smile, I shook my head.

"What could you mean by that?" I asked her while laughing.

"You seem to be so smart without even doing anything." She said to me with a smile, I looked at her.

"If you think that you have not known me for long enough." I said to her with a smile, it wasn't long until Mrs. Wheeler came up to her bedroom door.

"Girls, it's getting late. How about you continue to study tomorrow?" She said to us, we both looked at each other.

"We can do that." Nancy said to her Mom while putting her cards away.

"Thank you for the food Mrs. Wheeler and Nancy we shall continue this studying tomorrow. We've got to be ready for those tests." I said to her making her laugh. I grabbed my stuff and then left for home. It wasn't long until Hunter got home.

"How did your studying go?" He asked me, I looked at him.

"I don't study we know this. I attempted to if that counts. But, how was your campaign you were gone for hours." I said to him as we both went upstairs. He has a big smile of his face and then began to tell me everything that happened.

"And then the demogorgon came and got Will." He said ending it off, I looked at him and ruffled his hair.

"Glad you had fun bud." I said to him before going into my room. I changed before my phone started ringing. It was Steve, he always called. It was hard to tell what this was exactly. In the morning I got ready for another long day at Hawkins High.

"And that's it for News Center this morning. Thanks for joining us. Let's hand off now to Liz at the news desk." A reporter said on the TV as I headed downstairs to get breakfast.

"All right, thank you, Donna. Turning now to local news, we're getting reports of surges and power outages all across the county. Last night, hundreds of homes in Easy Hawkins were affected, leaving many residents in the dark. The cause of the outage is still unknown. We reached out to Roane County Water and Electric, and a spokesperson say that they are confident power will be restored to all remaining homes within the next several hours." Liz reported on the news, it was nice to know the power would be restored. I walked straight into the kitchen.

"Morning sweetie." Mom said to me with smile. I quickly grabbed a plate.

"Morning ma. I overslept again." I said to her before eating a bit of toast. "Hunter! Let's go!" I shouted before he came running.

"I'm ready." He said to me with a smile, we then went to my car. Thankfully my cousin drove it down for me and caught the plane back home. If I didn't have my car I would be crying. Once we drove to school I instantly went to my locker.

"Solace, take a look at this." Eddie said while appearing next me, he had a piece of paper in his hand.

"Corroded Coffin. Live next Thursday. My interest has been peaked." I said to him while taking the piece of paper. He smiled at me.
