On the 12th hour of the first day of September 1947, 13 women around the world gave birth. This was unusual, only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began.

Dr. Brenner, scientist, and director of Hawkins National Laboratory resolved to locate and approve one kid who stood out to them the most.

And that kid was Phoebe or as they call her now, thirteen. But why thirteen? In many cases, thirteen is considered an "unlucky" or "cursed" number. However, Phoe- thirteen wasn't a curse, she was a blessing.

She could do things no one could. Traveling to places in a blink of an eye. And it doesn't stop there, not only can she travel to the future but she was something much more than even the scientists predicted...

1959

013 sat in the corner of the tiny room, her cheeks stained with tears. Her nose was stuffed from all the crying and begging. Her palms were bright pink after banging on the door so much the day before.

Suddenly, the lock on the door clicked, making her eyes shoot up. It opened as Dr. Brenner stood at the door, she just looked at him with pure hatred "hello, thirteen" he said but she gave no response.

It was just him, so she took the opportunity to escape. She pretend to get up and hug him but just like that, she teleported out of the room and into the hallway. She sprinted down the cold hallways but was stopped by some guards standing at the exit.

She ran in the opposite direction and locked herself in the first open room. She looked for an exit as the guards were trying to break in. She knew she only have minutes maybe even seconds before it was too late.

She searched through every cabinet, for anything that will help her. But in the last drawer, she found files, her files. She picked up the sheets of paper with 013 on them and browse through them.

"Phoebe? that's my name?" Suddenly a bang on the door pulled her out of her thoughts, shit. She took the folder and turned toward the window. She opened it and climbed out to the ledge.

She took a deep breath "just like we practice" she mumbled to myself before closing her eyes. When she reopened her eyes she stood on the grass outside of the building. She immediately got up and continued running.

She didn't think all she did was just run. She had nothing but the desire to never come back. The desire to leave this place for good. That's when she lost control, her powers were working on their own, "no, come on" she tried to get it under control but it was hopeless and everything went dark.

The woods around her was pitched black. Nothing but darkness surrounde her. The only thing heard was the blood thumping in her ears, the sound of her heart racing, yelling as it tried to break out of its rib cage.

However, she felt a water droplet on her forehead, and then another. Suddenly, it started to pour. She was going to run and find cover but then she heard a voice, a boy's voice, not too far from where she is. So she did what she does best, hide.

"Guys I really think we should head back"

"Dustin seriously? You wanna be a baby, then go home already"

"I'm just being realistic, Lucas!"

"No, you're just being a big sissy!"

As they continue their bickering she took this as a chance to make a break for it. That's when she heard a swift wind noise. I'm not alone, she thought. And then she heard it again.

"Guys..." a new voice said. She frantically looked around, trying to find where that noise came from but there was nothing.

Just when she was about to run again she heard a tree branch break. She instantly turned around to find a girl around her age with a balled cut, and an oversize t-shirt. She's dirty like she just escaped from prison. She is also scared, scared of what though?

"Do you guys hear that?"

The boys shined the light on her but she was quick to hide. Phoebe acted quickly and took her wrist before the girl ran again. Something about her seems familiar like Phoebe has met her before. When Phoebe did the girl flinched at the sudden contact.

Phoebe looked at her wrist, 011, it read. She's like her, but how? Phoebe thought one and her were the only ones, well at the moment. Phoebe looked back at her in shock but the girl looked at her with glossy sympathetic eyes and fear. Phoebe took out her wrist and showed her number, 013.

She just stared at it like she knew something Phoebe didn't.

It was too late, the boys, they found them, well eleven anyway. Phoebe had enough strength for one more space jump. She ended up in a house, a very enormous house. It was probably larger than the laboratory, a castle even.

Just when she was going to run again, something made her stay, more like someone

Just when she was going to run again, something made her stay, more like someone. "Hey, are you lost?" the kind woman asked Phoebe but she didn't say a word. "Where is your family? Do you have a family?" a tall man asked and she shook my head.

They looked at each other and then back at Phoebe. The kind woman took her hand and led her to a room, "this is going to be your room, ok? Until we find your family-"

"No"

She was shocked at Phoebe's words "what do you mean no?" kneeling to her level "he will lock me up again" she told her feeling her eyes start to water "he? Who is he?"

"Dr. Brenner..."
