" '86 Baby " [Eddie Munson X Y/N]

Chapter 9: Hunt the Freak

(AUTHERS NOTE: This is a long one, so strap in🥳)

"Shit.."  You whisper, Vecna wasted no time to kill another, it's only a matter of time before... you shake the thought.
Dustin grabs his bag "You and Eddie gotta stay here, lay low." He says heading for the door. "I can come with you-" you suggest. If Vecna attacked again, you have to know.
"What- no, the police think Eddie kidnapped you. If someone sees you they'll call it in, and then what?" Steve says. He was right but you could help, and it's not like you're a very rememberable person.  "Look, I can he-" a massive migraine hits, you stumble back putting your hand to your head "woah woah-" Steve says grabbing you so you don't fall over.
Max looks at you, she knows something is up.
The flashlights in your eye make it worse, you use your other hand to cover the light.
Max shoves Steve out of the way, she turns you around and sits you down.
She passes you a Tylenol. You take it back, and everything re-centres slowly blinking a few times the light doesn't bother you anymore. "Thanks.." you say. "Just a headache.. I usually get them." You say to max. Her eyes widen a bit, noticing some similarities. "Have you been getting any nose bleeds or-" "nightmares" you finish her sentence.
You both look at each other for a second, putting the pieces together. You and max have both been experiencing these, symptoms. And if it's what you think it is, you're both under the curse.
"Listen, glad Y/n's okay, but we've got to go." Dusting says gesturing to the door. Max looks at you for another second, then gets up and heads for the door. The door slams shut.
You look at the floorboards for a second processing what just happened.

DAY ONE: Eddie sits down next to you and rests his head on a post. "So, I kidnapped you, huh?" He says with a small smile. You smile and roll your eyes "Didn't know you had it in you Munson." You chuckle a bit.
"Yknow, you're not what I thought you'd be." Eddie says. "And what was that? Some sort of preppy cheerleader" You say looking at him, shaking your hands like Pompoms. "I could see it." He says looking at you with a smile.
You scoff "Cheerleading is so physically demanding..." you groan "and crazy competitive for high-school teens.." You say. At your old school you used to do cheer, it's a dark part of your past you want no one to know. As much as you hate to admit it though, it was fun.
Eddie looks at you with his mouth open a bit "You used to do cheer? You? Y/n the stoner?" He says with a small smile. "Jesus Munson, don't get your panties in a twist.."  You say rolling your eyes and shove him a bit.
"Why'd you stop?" He asks trying to get more of your embarrassing Cheer past. "Uh, well my dad...he couldn't afford any of the trips and costumes n' shit.." You say looking at your hands "It was just some stupid hobby.." You shrug it off.
"So what does the infamous Eddie Munson do in his spare time? Kidnap perhaps? Or even satanic rituals?" You say in a narrative voice. He lets out a long sigh "Well, I have a band."
"A band? That's it? Cmon man give me some details, what's it called?" You nudge him a bit.
"Corroded Coffin, we practice every Tuesday." He says, his smile fading a bit. You nod, the shack goes silent.
Everything sort of hits you again. When and if this all ends, things won't just go back to normal. And that's if you can kill this Vecna thing, or if you can survive it's curse.
You were scared, not of dying itself, but of all the things you'll miss out on if you do. All that soppy shit, like your first car, first house, first love..
You look at Eddie, then back down. What if you both don't make it out of this shit alive. You quickly try and think of something else. Rainbows, flowers, sheep? You try to think of something happy.

Hours pass, it was dark out. Eddie was pacing around the room, you were sitting in the boat, dangling your hand in the water. You guys hear a door hit the floor in the distance. Both of you look at the window. Shit, someone's here, and they don't sound happy either.
You and Eddie quickly hide in the boat, covering it with the tarp again. God your sick of this stupid boat.
You both were facing each other, waiting. You heard footsteps walk passed the shed but no one came inside. Soon you hear a car engine revving, the car eventually drives away.
You sit up "The hell was that-" you say getting out of the boat.
