Mom decided to let Mike inside to talk with Will as I found the spots for more drawings. After a while, I got tired. I told them goodnight as I headed to bed.
> THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 1st <
I woke up to someone talking on my radio. I sat up and recognized the voice.
"Hello, Y/n. This is an emergency! A code red, do you copy? Over!" I heard Dustin say from the radio as I got up and grabbed it.
"Yeah, Dustin, I copy. What's the emergency? Over."
"I need your help. The creature that I told you about is from the Upside Down and it ate my cat. I need your help to kill it." He told me as I was about to respond. "Meet me at my house, pronto. And bring your baton. Over and out." He said to me. I sighed and got ready. I changed into the hoodie Steve loaned me long ago and some jeans. I got a backpack and put my baton in it. I threw the bag onto my back and peaked out of my room. I saw mom sitting on the living room floor, looking around at the drawings.
"Hey, Mom." I greeted her as she looked around at me.
"Hey sweetie." She looked at me and down at clothes. "Are you going somewhere?"
"Oh, yeah. I'm going to Nancy's house, because we have this big test, y'know? So, we're going to study." I said to her, smiling. She sighed.
"Okay, sweetie. Don't be out too long, okay?" She asked me.
"Yeah, I won't." I told her as I walked out to my bike and rode to Dustin's house. I arrived at his house, when his Mom walked out. I smiled at her and she waved at me. I got off my bike and knocked on his door. He opened the door.
"Finally. Took you long enough." He complained to me.
"You better be glad I'm actually here. I could have just ignored you." I told him as he dragged me inside.
"Okay, so Dart is in my room-" I cut him off.
"Dart? It has a name?" I asked him.
"Yes, he does. Stop getting off topic. So this is what we're gonna do. We are going to trap it in my cellar, okay? But first we need things to protect ourselves. Could you go open the cellar door as I get things prepared." He told me.
"I guess I could." I said as I made my way outside to the cellar. I opened the door and walked back inside to see Dustin dropping bologna onto the floor leading him to the cellar. He walked back to be and handed me a vest, some knee pads, a bike helmet, and some oven mitts. I grabbed my baton from my bag. Dustin wanted to switch weapons with me for the baton. So now, I have a hockey stick. We both put on the stupid protection. He had a lot more than me on.
"Okay, go wait in the shed for me. I'll open the door and run to it." I agreed to it and headed to the shed and peaked through the wall. I saw Dusting hobbling his way to the shed. He was cursing 'shit' under his breath as he ran inside. He joined me in looking through the wall.
"Come on. Come on, I know you're hungry." He said to himself as we saw Dart walking out of the backdoor. "Yes. Yes, ye-" He kept saying as I elbowed him in the side to shut his mouth. Dart made his way down the passageway and then stopped right to the cellar door, and looked in it. He growled and looked back at us. I felt my heart drop out from my ass. We both took a step back, and I leaned back up to see Dart again. He was starting dead at us, all turned our way and and closer. I almost pissed myself. I pushed Dustin onto the wall, miserably trying to hide, since Dart already knew we were there. We heard him getting closer and closer to us. I looked over to Dustin. I took a deep breath, turned around and busted the door open. I ran towards Dart, screaming. Dart seemed to have gotten scared and started to run the opposite way. I got next to him and hit him in the cellar. I ran towards the cellar door and closed them. Dustin ran over to me and sat into the cellar doors. "I'm sorry. You ate my cat." He said to Dart. We took a five minute breather. Then he told me he needed to clean up the mess and bury his cat, Mews, and to never tell his Mom about how she's dead.
"I'll help clean up the mess, but you can bury your dead cat." I told him as he agreed. I ended up digging the hole as he radioed for the party to answer. I didn't know if Mike left our house later that night, so I decided not to say anything. We finished burying Mews and went inside to clean up the mess. He got the cleaning things as he continued to radio for them. No response. He sighed and handed me a pair of gloves. He took a break calling them for like four minutes as we cleaned up the carpet.
"All right, it's Dustin again. Seriously, I have a code red." He said for what felt like the millionth time. He then started to talk to someone. "Erica? Erica, is Lucas there?" He asked who I know as Lucas's little sister. "Where is he?"- "Is he with Mike?"- "Please tell him it's super important. Please tell him that I have a code-"- "Yep, code red. Exactly." He sat there "Er-erica?" Another moment passed. "Dammit." He said as we continued to scrub. After we finished scrubbing the floor, Dustin kept trying to call the Wheeler's house for the past 2 hours. So he got fed up with it and told me we're gonna head over to them. I agreed as we both walked out, made our way to our bikes, and rode to the Wheeler's house. We arrived and we both slung down our bike's as we ran for the door. Dustin kept ringing it over and over. Finally, Mr. Wheeler opened the door.
"Your line has been busy for over two hours, Mr. Wheeler." I told him.
"Do you realize that?" Dustin asked him.
"Oh, I do realize." He told us.
"Has Mike came home from our house yet?" I asked him as Dustin looked over to me.
"No, he told us he's spending the night." He told me as I nodded my head in realization.
"Nancy. What about Nancy?" Dustin asked him.
"Karen, where's Nancy?" Mr. Wheeler shouted to Mrs. Wheeler.
"Ally's!" We heard her shout back.
"Ally's" He told us. "Our children don't live here anymore. You didn't know that?"
"Seriously?" Dustin asked him.
"Am I done here?" He asked Dustin.
"Son of a bitch. You're really no help at all, you know that?" Dustin told him as I held back my laugh. We started to walk back to our bike's. As we picked them up, I noticed Steve's car park at the edge of the grass. I watched him park as it caught Dustin's attention. We saw Steve step out with a bouquet of flowers, and him talking to himself. Dustin looked over at me and nodded. We were gonna drag him into this. I walked over with Dustin.
"Steve." I said to him as he looked at me.
"Y/n?" He asked me.
"Are those for Mr. or Mrs. Wheeler?"
"No?" He responded, sounding very confused.
"Good." Dustin said to him as he took the bouquet from his hands. Dustin and I turned for his car.
"Hey. What the hell? Hey!" He asked both of us.
"Nancy isn't home." Dustin told him.
"Where is she?" He asked us.
"Doesn't matter."
"We have bigger problems than your love life." I told him. "Do you still have that bat?" I asked him.
"Bat? What bat?" He asked me.
"The one with the nails?"
"Why?"
"Dustin will explain on the way." I told him as I sat in the passenger seat, and Dustin in the back.
"Now?" Steve asked.
"Now!" Dustin and I shouted in unison.
