"They're gone."

Mike came back into the gym, walking with urgency. "What?" Lucas looked up, Mike repeating himself. "Nancy and Jonathan, they're gone." Dustin shrugged at this news. "They're probably just sucking face somewhere."

Everyone gave him a look before turning back to Mike. "Did they go with the chief?" Lucas shrugged, Eleven lifting her head from y/n's shoulder. "No." y/n looked to her, brows drawn. "Where?" She questioned.

"Demogorgan."

"This is crazy! We can't just wait around."

Dustin and Lucas stood, the three boy's arguing. They came to a stop, Dustin grabbing y/n's hand and dragging her away. "Where are you going you just said stick to the plan?!" Mike called after him, Dustin turning over his shoulder. "I am, just going to go get some pudding! Lunch lady hoards that shit!"

"Why're you taking y/n?"

"She's always hungry!" Y/N nodded at this fact, Lucas turning to Mike before leaving to follow the two out of the gym. The boy groaned, letting out a frustrated sigh before grabbing Eleven's hand and setting off to follow.

***

y/n pulled herself onto the counter, watching as Dustin and Lucas grabbed as much pudding they could carry. "Mike! I found the pudding!" Dustin cheered, laying it out on the counter, He opened one, handing it to y/n.

The girl dug in with her fingers, eating the gooey treat. Eleven came in a moment later, Dustin handing her one as well. "Guys! Guys!"

y/n looked up, pulling her fingers out of her mouth. "What is it?" Lucas looked up as well, Mike skidding to a stop in front of his friends. "They found us."

They immediately dropped the puddings, taking off away from the cafeteria. "Shit!" Lucas led the way, turning right. "How'd they find us?" Mike hurried after him, shaking his head. "I don't know but they knew we were in the gym."

y/n stopped, Dustin ramming into her. The doors at the end of the hall opened, flashlights shining through. "Shit!" They turned, running the other way. Lucas turned into another hallway, a flashlight shining on his face.

"Oh crap!"

They ran back out into the hall, running straight forward, a woman with a gun coming around the corner. The kids were cornered now, y/n and Eleven exchanging glances. y/n stood at the back of the group, Eleven at the front.

The flashlights began to flicker, the bad men's heads snapping as they all dropped to the floor. Both Eleven and y/n fell to the ground, the boys rushing to them. Mike shook Eleven's shoulder, "El? Are you okay!?"

"y/n's not responding either." Dustin looked up worried, sitting the girl up. Lucas stood, footsteps echoing through the hall. "We've gotta go guys!" He quickly hooked y/n's arm over his shoulder, Dustin doing the same on the other side.

Mike bent to pick up Eleven, a voice ringing out. "Leave her! Step away from the child." They looked up to see a silver haired man, two people behind him with guns. Mike stood, stepping forward. "You want her, you have to kill us first!"

Dustin nodded, "That's right."

"Eat shit!" Lucas called.

Sudddenly the three were grabbed by guards, y/n falling to the floor as they were restrained. The man, Brenner, made his way to the two girl's, picking up Eleven. He glanced at y/n's wrist, "Thirteen...we meet again."
