Dangling in the veil between two dimensions, the air feels thicker in my lungs. It feels wrong, like every bone in my body is telling me that I shouldn't be here. 

I didn't pay much attention to the feeling when I entered through watergate, too preoccupied with trying not to die to comprehend it.  But as I fall in this limbo between worlds, it feels as though I'm moving through molasses as the veil tries to drag me back, back, back.

But gravity's pull is too strong, and with a thump I pass through safely to the other side.

Tumbling down onto the worn out mattress, the air is stolen from my lungs as the lights in Eddie's trailer disappear completely without warning, plunging us into an uneasy darkness. 

I blink back my shock as my eyes adjust to the lack of light and Dustin quickly pulls me up from the mattress to stand next to him in a defensive position.

The whole group goes on high alert as Steve's panicked voice echoes through the open gate on the ceiling.

"Nancy!! Nancy!!" He yells frantically and my stomach instantly drops in fear. Oh fuck.

"We need music right now! GO!" I yell out to the group and we all scramble around to find something useful in Eddie's trailer to save our friend.

"Is there anything in there we can use?"  Dustin yells pleadingly as I frantically rummage through my backpack for any cassette tapes that Nancy would like but can only find my Motley Crue mix and a random Billy Idol tape.

"Nothing that Nancy would like!! Check Eddie's room, hurry!" I yell, grabbing my brother by the collar and pushing him towards the rest of the group.

After a couple panicked seconds of me trying to untangle my Walkman from a plastic bag I finally pull it out and run towards Eddie's room.

"Got a Walkman! We need a tape!" I call out as Robin and Eddie absolutely destroy the room trying to find something that isn't heavy metal.

"Steve says you need to hurry!!" Erica tells us loudly from the entrance and Dustin yells back at her crazily.

"Yeah no shit!!!" His voice breaks as he works himself into a frenzy trying to find something to help  Nancy break Vecna's curse.

"We're trying, we can't find anything!"  Robin tells Erica desperately, holding up useless tapes of dio and Iron Maiden.

"Seriously what is all this shit!?" She yells at Eddie and her yelling puts Eddie into even more of a manic state than he already is.

"I mean what are you even looking for?!" Eddie spills out tapes all over his bed, and I join the two older teens in trying to find something good in the pile of junk.

"Madonna, Blondie, Bowie, Beatles, music!! We need music!!" Robin tells him with a whimper as we continue to come up unsuccessful.

"This IS music!!" Eddie yells back, pointing a cassette tape at Robin threateningly and Robin just gives him a determined glare as she continues to look.
