Touch Of Death

What the fuck is that thing!

"Why didn't any of you telling me what was going on?"I shouted, loading the hand gun sitting on the floor.

"You were to busy macking on the new boy!"James yelled, I scoffed.

"Your hooking up with my brother!"Max shouted

"No! Max, I'm not."I sent my younger brother a glare.

But that's when I heard an all to familiar engine pull into the driveway, than a door slam. 

"Why is he here?"I yelled looking at Max, she shrugged, before anyone else could sayanything, Steve was out the door, I hurried to stand by all the kids looking at them through the window, barely making out what they were saying.

"Where's Max, Steve?"Billy huffed

"I told you man, I don't know who she is, or where she is. Sorry."Steve went to turn around

"Then who's that?"Billy asked, pointing over to the window, I grabbed all of them shoving them to the floor out of sight. I went to the door, cracking it open to listen to them.

"Ugh I- I don't know."Steve stuttered

"My thirteen year old sister has been missing all day, and then I find her here with you, in a strangers house,"he paused, his face scrunching up, "and you lie to me about it."

I turned my head when Dustin started yelling at Max, quickly putting my attention back to the two boys outside when there was a thud, I swung the door open storming out there seeing Steve on the ground.

"Hey! Knock it off."I yelled

"Aw look Harrington, your girlfriends stepping up for you."he cooed, looking down at the boy, he scrambled to his feet as I stormed past him.

"Bold of you to assume I'd date that."I scoffed, my fist meeting his jaw, he held it, stumbling back a bit, what can I say, I got a good hand. I grabbed Steve's arm sprinting to the house.

Just as I was about to shut the door, it was kicked open, causing me to fly into Steve. 

Next thing I knew, Steve and Billy were fighting in the kitchen. 

Billy threw Steve into the fridge causing it to shake, Steve stepped forward, I gasped when the freezer door opened, the demodog falling out of it, Billy jumped back terrified.

"What the fuck is that thing!"he yelled hiding behind me, using me as a shield.

"Shit shit shit!"Dustin yelled, running to it. I ran forward helping him put it back in the freezer.

Just than Matt finally came out the bathroom with a newspaper in hand, wiping his forehead.

"That was a biggy- what the fuck is going on."

I cheesily smiled over at him, the demodog still in my arms, Billy now hiding behind Max.

"Don't ask."

******

"Why are we in a pumpkin patch?"Billy asked from the front seat of my car.

"Why do you ask so many questions?"I groaned, putting the car into the park hopping out, letting James and Max out of the back.

We all ran to Steve's car opening the trunk, I threw some gloves a mask and bandana at Billy when I got mine on.

"The fuck is this for?"

"To go down there, unless you wanna stay up here and be a pussy."I shrugged, he looked down into the hole, a loud echoe of a monstrous scream coming out.

"I think I'll be a pussy."he nodded, leaning against the hood of my car, I sighed, Steve jumped in first, then one by one the kids went in, than last I went in.

"Alright, if you hear us scream, don't take off, put the rope down and help us out okay?"I yelled up at Billy, he nodded watching as walk away.

*******

"Billy! Rope!"I screamed, listening to all the roars getting closer, Steve went up first, Billy pulling him up.

I lifted each kid up, Steve grabbing the hand then Billy lifting them out.

All of them were up but Dustin and I, the roars getting louder and louder, all of them screaming at Dustin to c'mon. 

We looked down the tunnel, feeling the vibrations going through our feet, we held onto each other tightly when a shit ton of demodogs came running right past us.

We wobbled around but managed to keep our balance, he hid his face in my neck, whimpering, I looked around with wide eyes, feeling their rough slimy skin brushing against my legs.

I looked back up through the hole when all of them were gone. They all stared at us with wide eyes.

"Give me your hand Dustin."Steve reached his hand down, I bent down locking my hands together, Dustin putting his foot on it, I struggled trying not to loose my balance.

I looked over hearing a low growl, my eyes widening at the sight.

"Shit shit shit, Dustin go, go go go. Steve pull him for fucks sake!"I yelled, not taking my eyes off the demodog I now recognized as dart.

"Fuck move Harrington."Billy shouted, pulling Dustin up with ease.

I stood up slowly, Billy holding his hand down as far as he could, I hesitantly put my arm up, him struggling to grab my hand.

"Fuck Valeska give me your hand!"he shouted, I got on my tippie toes still staring at it.

He quickly pulled me up, dart launching at my leg. I let out a scream of pain, Billy grabbed my torso laying me on the ground, collaping with me.

I panted looking over at him, then scurrying to look into the whole, where Dart was now gone.

I stood up slowly, wincing in pain.

As soon as I got my balance, I lost it, falling to the ground, Billy trying to catch me.

I looked down at my leg, he followed my eyes slowly rolling up my black jeans, falling back at the sight, everyone stared at the knarly scratch on my ankle.

I laid back in pain, closing my eyes.
