HAWKINS, INDIANA.
NOVEMBER 1983.

I hear the door slam and my brother Dustin walk in, cursing at something as usual. For being only 12 years old he really has a potty mouth.
"Hey Dusty."

"Hey n/n"
He goes to his room and slams the door. Me, being the perfect older sister I am, decides to check up on him and make sure he's okay.

"Dustin what's wrong?" I ask as I open his door.

"Nothing bad, just..." he takes a deep sigh.

"Let me guess. Two things happened. One of which Will rolled for a fireball where a protection spell would've been better." He nods his head signaling that I am correct, as usual.
"And the other thing is you bet Will a comic book in a race home...you lost and Will asked for one of your favorites."

"He asked for my X-MEN #134."

"Man... Dustin this is like the 6th time this has happened, you gotta stop making bets!"

"Yeah I know..."

"Okay, give me a hug then get ready for bed, it's a school night."
Dustin gives me a tight hug and I kiss him on the forehead.
"Goodnight Musty-Dusty"
he glares at me as he's picking out pj's. I leave the door open just a crack so he won't notice until he's in bed and his lights are off. He hates sleeping with his door open, and so do I.

I get into bed as I already did my nightly routine and had my pajamas on. As I lay down I pray that I dream about something good, instead of a nightmare. Like I said I'm used to getting them but they're still terrifying.

I soon drift off to sleep and wake up in a forest owned by the unknown world. This world looks exactly like Hawkins, except cold, decayed, and monster filled. The monsters are about 7 feet tall, with white, slimy skin. I've only seen a couple of them up close.

"Hello?!" I hear a younger kid yell, there's not supposed to be anyone else in my nightmares except me, that's how it's been for the past 11 years. I hear crying and, against my better judgement, I walk over towards it.

"Will?"

"Y/n!!"

"Will, how are you here?" I whisper

"I'm not sure, I tripped when I was riding my bike then this monster thing started chasing me and I ran. Then I woke up here, that's all I remember. I'm sorry." He whispers back getting the message.

"No, no, it's okay."

"How are you here?" He asks.

"Has Dustin ever told you about my nightmares?"

"No, but on sleepovers sometimes I hear you crying..."

"Oh... well when I fall asleep and I get nightmares, this is the place I've been going to for the past 11 years."

"Wow..."

"Wait a minute... did you say the monster started chasing you after you crashed your bike...?"

"Yeah?"

"They're in real life now... how did they get in real life?!"

"Uh, I don't know??"

Suddenly we heard a deep roar tear through the forest. I grabbed Will's hand and dragged him to a fort I made about 9 years ago.

"Stay quiet." I whisper so quietly I'm not sure if he heard me; but he give me a quick nod proving that he did.

We see a light cast a shadow on the monster about 25 feet in front of my fort. Something calls him away as he runs it goes silent once again.

"Since this is your nightmare, and your sleeping in real life...will you disappear when you wake up?

"I'm not sure but I think so. We should leave, and try to find a way to get out of here." I advise.

"Okay..."

Will seems unsure so I tell him I will check first. "If I don't come back in five minutes, stay in the fort, no matter what."
He nods as I exit.

I head out and get about 50 feet away from the fort then I trip on a vine. However this vine is alive and grabs onto my leg, I panic trying to get out of its grasp. Suddenly the monster thing runs over to me with its claws out. Scared it's going to attack me I hide my face and try to pull away leaving the Vine to leave a gouge in my leg I yell out in pain.Though instead of attacking me it attacks the vine that has a hold on my leg. It rips the vine off my leg and then runs away.

With my blood running out like water I faint.
