In which Grace Harrington gets spooked
The soft sounds of Grace's radio echoed through the Harrington House as the brunette sat at her vanity applying a layer of pink lip gloss to her lips humming the tune of Blondie loudly as her older brother banged obnoxiously on her door "Grace hurry up we have to pick up Robin!" the girl groaned rolling her eyes "just a minute" it was Steve's turn to groan "you said that 25 minutes ago!" Grace stood up walking over to her radio switching it off throwing her bag over her shoulder and opening her door putting her hand on her hip "are you finished whining Steven?" Steve rolled his eyes grabbing his car keys "no Grace I'm not get your ass out of the door" Grace chuckled walking out of the door and into the back of her brothers car while he got into the drivers seat turning on the engine and driving to Robin's house.
Grace sat in the back tapping her foot rapidly then leaned into the front switching on the radio "hey! Hands off Harrington" Steve slapped her hand away "I'm bored at least put some music on" Steve sighed turning the radio on pulling up outside the Buckley's household watching as the blonde girl sprinted out of the house and throwing herself into the passenger seat of the car "well good morning to you too Robin" Grace said Sarcastically, Robin turned around to look at the girl "does my hair look okay?" Grace rose an eyebrow "it looks amazing why?" Steve smirked "is this for Vicki?"
Grace immediately clocked on to what he meant "Oh! I get it!" her comment went ignored as the two older teens talked about Robins undying love for Vicki.She had zoned out half way through the conversation playing with the ring on her finger occasionally zoning in at random points in the conversation " she paused fast times at 53 minutes 5 seconds do you know who pauses fast times at 53 minutes 5 seconds?" Steve looked at his friend as his sister leaned over into the front "isn't that when the girl gets her tits out?" Grace asked looking at the two Robin groaned covering her face as Steve sighed "yes Gracie yes it is, only people who like boobies do that! Boobies!" Robin shook her head shouting words of protest "its not a big deal okay, I like boobies, you like boobies, pretty sure Gracie likes boobies" Steve mumbled earning a 'hey!' and a slap to the back of his head "Vicki likes boobies!" he looked at Robin then back at the road "Definitely!" Grace sat in the back watching the conversation unfold "it's boobies!" Steve said Grace nodded "boobies indeed"
Steve pulled up in the school car park as the two girls in his car got out Robin shouting at a few of her friends then thanking Steve for the ride and saying bye to Grace who waved and walked over to find her best friend Chrissy Cunningham passing Mike Wheeler and Dustin Henderson on the way the two boys glanced at her and Dustin jumped up "Hi Grace" the said girl rose an eyebrow looking at the boys "hi?" Dustin smiled widely waving like an idiot Grace waved back awkwardly walking away much to the boys disappointment.
Grace sat at her lunch table doing homework when she felt arms wrap around her shoulders "hi!" the cheery voice of Chrissy spoke "hey Chrissy!" the blonde sat beside her best friend a knowing look on her face "again?" grace sighed looking down at the half finished maths homework on the table "I fell asleep?" Chrissy giggled shaking her head "seriously that's your excuse every time" Grace chuckled "I know I know" she closed the book putting it into her bag when a loud voiced echoed through the cafeteria "but as long as your into band or science" he looked at the individual tables "or parties" he said he then proceeded to look at the table she was sat on "or a game where you toss balls into laundry baskets!"
Jason, Chrissy's boyfriend stood up looking at the Munson boy "you want something freak?" Eddie put his hands up to his head making devil horns while making strange noises as the group at his tabled laughedEddie looked Grace straight in the eye and said "or if your names Grace 'goodie two shoes' Harrington" Grace flips him off glaring at the metalhead who smirks walking back along the table to his seat "dick" Grace mutters scowling "ignore him Gracie" Chrissy's voice said from beside her Grace simply rolled her eyes playing with her food.
The brunette Harrington girl leant against the wall of Hawkins high her chocolate hair with royal blue streaks thrown messily into a ponytail which rested on her shoulder as she smoked a joint her headphones over her ears the sound of Kiss filling the girls head as she closed her eyes blowing out the smoke "Grace!" a loud voice from the left of her shouted "what Mike?" Grace turned to face the boy "I need a favour please" the girl raised an eyebrow crossing her arms over her chest, cigarette between her teeth as if she was silently telling him to continue "well the final campaign is tonight and Lucas has the basketball game and Eddie needs a-" she cuts him off "I'm going to stop you right there Wheeler that's a big no from me" Mike groaned "but Gracie you love DnD!" he protested the girl shrugs "but I hate Eddie Munson so" she smiled at him nicely "fine ill find someone else" Mike rolled his eyes walking off as Grace lifted her headphones back onto her head pressing play on her Walkman leaning back against the wall.
Grace Harrington had no interest in Dungeons and Dragons anymore ever since Will's disappearance she's put that behind her being too scared of going through the same thing again, which unfortunately for her didn't work as she was dragged into the world of the Upside Down 3 times. Once with the Demogorgans, a second time with the Shadow Monster and a third with the Mind Flayer it was safe to say she wanted an ordinary year but was anything ever ordinary in Hawkins? Grace wasn't interested in Basketball either that is why she was currently sat on her couch watching her third run through of Grease with a bowl of popcorn on her lap and a coke on the coffee table with her older brother at the game her parents MIA she had the house to herself, the lights above her flickerd for a spilt second causing the girl to stop eating and look up shaking her head she continued the movie in an eerie silence the hair on the back of her neck stood on end as she shivered taking her eyes off the screen to look at the door however she wished she hadn't when a voice called her name from the dining room "Oh Gracie" it was the voice of her mother however something seemed off to Grace as she stood up hesitantly walking towards the voice "mom?" she called out getting no reply she took a detour to the kitchen grabbing on of the kitchen knives from out of the draw gripping it hard till her knuckles turned white
"oh Gracie come give mommy a hug!" the shrill voice of Mrs. Harrington called out to her terrified daughter, Grace gulped walking into the dining room knife in hand and seeing her mothers back "mom? What are you doing home Steve said you weren't due home for another week and a half?" Mrs. Harrington spoke again still facing away from her daughter "we came to remind you what a worthless piece of shit you are" she suddenly spun round and Grace gasped stumbling backwards dropping the knife this definitely was not her mother, her eyes were missing, her teeth a rotten yellow colour with hints of green and brown, her once lovely royal purple dress was drenched in blood along with her skin as she staggered forwards hands out stretched at the girl "why couldn't you be like Steve hmm?" the woman asked grabbing ahold of Grace's ankle digging her sharp tallon like nails into the girls skin ripping the flesh as blood poured out from the cut the brunette yelped crawling backwards bumping into the wall and closing her eyes tears streaming down her cheeks "its not real, its not real, its not real" she muttered over and over again hoping to forget the nightmare that just occurred.
Opening her eyes the girl gasped again looking around and letting out a breath of relief when she saw she was alone in her kitchen, she quickly gripped her ankle feeling around for any form of cut or patch of blood of course there was none however the numb feeling was still there, Grace let out a shaky breath wiping the tears from under her eyes sitting on the floor of her kitchen as she could hear the faint ticking of a clock from somewhere.
