part five

I realized what Steve meant. Steve stood upright again and walked towards the door.

"Steve? Steve, what are you doing?" Dustin asked. I realized everything that was about to go down and I shook my head walking towards Steve.

"No, no, no. Steve, you are not going out there. I will not let you do this." I grabbed his arm and made him look at me. "This is crazy, please don't."

"Liz, everything will be fine. I've survived once." He said calmly.

"But, if what you said about those things are true." I paused and swallowed hard. "You had help then. Let me at least go with you." He shook his head.

"Absolutely not, never." I pleaded with my eyes, staring at him terrified if I let go he won't come back.

He threw Dustin the lighter, "just be ready. I will be back." He turned around and grabbed his bat.

"Steve." I pulled him back around and cupped his face in my hands before putting my lips on his. A thousand things were going through my brain, and fireworks were going off in my stomach. I pulled him closer and he put his free hand on my lower back holding me there.

I pulled away and rubbed my thumb across his cheek. "Be careful." He nodded looking shocked yet composed and went outside. I closed the door behind him then ran to the tiny opening to watch.

He twisted his bat and walked. Steve whistled trying to get Dart to come his way. He was treating it like a dog, trying to get its attention. Max came down the ladder.

"What's he doing?"

"Expanding the menu." Dustin said. I clinched my jaw and stared at Steve making sure nothing happened to him. I glued my eye onto him praying to whoever.

Out from the fog came dart he stood and looked at Steve. I gasped and clasped my hand over my mouth waiting. I wanted to tear the door open and run to Steve's arms but I couldn't. All of a sudden Lucas is screaming.

"Steve watch out!"

"I'm a little busy here!" Steve shouted back.

"Three o'clock! Three o'clock!" Steve turns at Lucas warning and another demogorgon jumps on top of a car.

"Steve!" I run to the door and open it. "Steve come back, please!"

Dustin is by my side yelling,"Abort! Abort!"

"Steve stop please and come back! There's not just dart out there!" I'm screaming so loud my whole chest burns. Another demodog growls in the fog and jumps at Steve, he dodged and jumps in a car.

Now Lucas and Max are standing at the door with us screaming his name. Another jumps at him and he hits it with his bat making a run for it.

One is on his tail but he jumps into the bus and we slam the door behind him, the demogorgon hitting it. We all stumble back and I'm shaking so hard breathing heavily.

"Holy shit!" Dustin yells.

"Are they rabid or something?" Max asks looking around. Steve grabs a extra piece of metal and places it on the door to help hold it out.

"They can't get in! They can't!" Lucas says it almost to reassure himself. The monster hits the door and we all scream glass shatters and Steve takes the bat and we run to the other side.

Dustin grabs his walkie-talkie, "Is anyone there? Mike? Will? God! Anyone!" There's another bang and the metal dents towards us. I pull Max and the kids behind me and try to find something to protect us. I grab a large metal pipe cause what else is there. "We are at the old junkyard, and we are going to die!"
