Amelia and Steve helped the others as they emptied out the shed in Joyce's backyard, Steve was helping Emmy as she taped a sheet to the window, so the mind flayer wouldn't know where he was.
"Hey um, I just wanna say I'm sorry" Steve said, Emmy paused to look at him
"You don't have to be sorry, Steve, you have no reason to be, anyway" Emmy said, looking away to tape the sheet
"No but I do—"
"You don't" she said, walking out of the shed to see if they wanted any more help, they got Will there and had him taped to the chair so he doesn't escape.
"Are we sure he's not gonna send those dog things after us when he wakes up?" Emmy asked as she looked at the boy
"He won't" Steve reassured her, but she just looked the other way, making Steve go quiet
"But if he does...judgement day"
Once Hopper woke Will up, Will was looking around with his eyes wide, "What-what is this! What is this! Why am I tied up! Where am I!" Will yelled as he looked around
"Will, we just want to talk to you" Joyce said as she sat on her knees in front of him, "We're not gonna hurt you"
"Where am I?" Will asked
Hopper stood next to the boy and opened a paper that had a drawing on it, he turned the paper and showed the drawing to Will, "You recognize this? Do you recognize this?" He asked while Will frantically shook his head as an answer
"Hey, we wanna help you" Joyce said, softly looking at her son, "But to do that, we have to understand how to kill it"
"Why am I tied up! Why am I tied up!" Will yelled, completely ignoring Joyce and moving around, trying to get up while Hopper tried to calm him down, "Why am I tied up! Why am I tied up!" He screamed as the lights flickered, "Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!" His screams sounded demonic as he repeated that sentence
Amelia was horrified and tried to back away from the boy, as she backed away and bumped into Steve who gladly held on to her to calm her, sooner or later, Will was a bit calmer, and the lights stopped flickering
"Do you know what March 22nd is?" Joyce asked, still sitting in front of the boy, "It's your birthday, your birthday. When you turned eight, I gave you that huge box of crayons, you remember that? 120 colors. And all of your friends, they got you Star Wars toys but all you wanted to do was draw with all your new colors..."
Joyce shared her memory, making Will calmer, after that, Jonathan shared his memory too, along with Mike. They shared their memories in hope that Will would come back and talk to them.
But sadly, he didn't. As Emmy watched them look down in disappointment, she noticed his fingers tapping on the chair in a specific pattern.
"Steve" She whispered, Steve looked at her and saw her expression, he looked where she was looking and saw Will's fingers tapping
"Mrs. Byers" She said in a low voice, Joyce looked at her and saw her pointing at his fingers
"It's morse code" Steve said, the kids all went back to the house and grabbed the morse code sheet, Jonathan, Joyce, and the others shared their memories with Will, to try and get him to continue the finger tapping, and Hopper stayed with Joyce and did the exact pattern of the code through the walkie talkie
They continued doing it until they finally got the sentence
C-L-O-S-E G-A-T-E
The paper read, suddenly, the phone rang
"Shit!" Emmy mumbled
"Do you think he heard that?" Max asked
"It's just a phone...it could be anywhere, right?"
Will started breathing heavily, "Hey—hey can you hear me?"
"It knows, it knows where we are..."
"They're coming!" Jonathan yelled as everyone heard the screeching coming from outside
"Hey, come on we gotta get ready!" Hopper said as everyone ran around the house, trying to get some tools to defend themselves with, Emmy found herself holding a gun she had found earlier
She knew how to use it though, nobody knew this but when she felt angry or sad about something, she'd take a gun she had hidden in her room and go to a field far from town. She had first gotten the gun when she was at a tool shop, she was getting some stuff her mom sent her to get and saw the gun, so she stole it
"Hey, hey, hey!" Hopper yelled as he saw her holding the shotgun, "What do you think you're doing? Holding a gun you don't know how to use is dangerous!"
She loaded the gun and smiled at the Sherif, "Trust me, I know what I'm doing" She said as she joined the group that circled themselves
"We're not done talking about this young lady" Hopper said as he stood with them
"Everyone get away from the windows!"
Suddenly, as everyone stood there waiting, they heard sounds of whimpering and general moving, but then it went quiet. The front door slowly opened, revealing a girl with dark hair and black eye makeup, walking in as everyone stood there in shock
