"Ok so now we know how to beat Vecna's curse, what's everyone's favorite song?" Steve asked while grabbing a pen and paper. Max was still recovering from being dropped like 6ft from the sky and escaping Vecna. I gave her a glass of water hoping to calm her nerves, "Y/n?" Steve looked up from the paper, "oh uh, (fav song) has always been my favorite" I smiled. It was the song Peter had sung to me when he asked me to be his forever, I stared down at naked my ring finger, he had so given me a promise ring that matched his. Both were lost in the incident at the lab, it's a long story but basically some explosion happened and knocked me out. I woke up to everyone dead and I escaped with my life.

Peter..I'm not sure what happened to him, couldn't ask Papa or El because both of them seemed to have erased him from their minds. I was one of the orderlies, a nurse who'd take care of the injured or sick children. I felt so bad for all of them, they wanted nothing more in life than to make Papa proud. "Y/n~" I heard a whisper, I whirled my head around but the group was gone. "Guys?" I started panicking, when I turned to look for the stairs I realized I wasn't in the Wheeler's basement anymore. I was in the Hawkins lab, "please tell me I'm dreaming" I whispered, a heard a ticking noise. It was slow and reminded me of a pulsing heart.

In the distance, engraved in the concrete wall was a grandfather clock. It was dark brown and had a graceful element to it. "Y/n~ come here~" I heard the same voice from before, it was hushed and almost like a growl but there was something about it I recognized. I walked passed the clock and pushed the door to the rainbow room. It was exactly how I remembered it except no children were present. Something shimmering in the light caught my eye, I walked closer and bent down picking it up. It was..my ring, just as beautiful as before; no dirt or scratches marked it. "Do you remember our vow?" A voice from behind made me jump, "I know that voice" I mumbled to myself while turning to the owner.

Standing straight and with his arms behind his back was..Peter. He was in his white uniform, his blonde hair was fluffy and laid perfectly on his head. "Pe-Peter is it really you?" I felt tears crowd my eyes, a sob was caught in my throat and I was shaking with anxiety. "Yes, I promise it's really me" he held out his arms, I ran to him so fast I thought I'd knock him off his feet but instead he just grunted a little. His strong arms wrapped around me, I felt my tears soak his shirt but I didn't care. He pulled away a little only enough to caress my cheek. "I've messed you dearly" he smiled lovingly, "I don't understand, I mean how are you here? And where have you been the last 8 years?!" I pushed him away. His eyes flashed with surprise and a bit of sadness. "Please don't pull away me, I'm sorry it's hard to explain. Just know that it wasn't my fault..it was Eleven's" he had grabbed my hand rubbing his thumb over it, "What do you mean it was her fault, she was 8 when it happened. I trusted you and one day you're just gone!. I woke up alone and confused and you..you fucking disappeared!" I raised my voice in the anger I remember feeling. "Calm down, I didn't have a choice in leaving" he frowned.

Sure I was sad but I was also angry and scared, the man I loved was gone and I had no where to go. Luckily Joyce found me outside of a store crying and took me in. Her family treated me like I was blood and for that I am forever grateful but I never forgot what I felt that day. "Let me get this straight you left me behind to do god knows what for 8 years and now you think you can just waltz back into my heart!, you are ridiculous" I turned on my heel and began to walk away. I just need a moment along to process, I felt a hand grab my wrist and yank me back harshly. "Don't.walk away.from me" he growled, obviously he was like 4 ft taller so he was towering over me. Something in his eyes made my heart race, just because I was an orderly doesn't mean I didn't have abilities. Mine were just different; I could see peoples true emotions in their eyes, I could bring memories and fantasies out into the real world and project them like a movie and also control peoples emotions. In his eyes there was nothing but hatred, revenge and possessiveness, only the last emotion was aimed towards me. "I'm doing all of this for us, why can't you see that. I'm keeping my promise, our vow. We said we'd be together, no matter what. You are mine" he smiled slowly at the end while placing his hand on my cheek. "Peter you're scaring me, what are you doing?", he sighed and put his head against mine.

I was immediately met with a memory of that day the incident happened. I saw Eleven and him talking and then fighting. Him being banished and turning into..Vecna. I gasped and stumbled backwards. "You..you're him. You're Vecna, you're the one killing those kids!", he walked forward causing me to automatically walk backwards. He paused and frowned. "Please don't be afraid of me, I'd never hurt you my queen", I didn't know what to do. That's when I heard it, my favorite song playing through the speakers. A portal like thing opened behind me and I saw Steve and his children trying to get me down from the air. I looked back at Peter in fear, "Please. Take my hand, fulfill your promise. I love you". This made me realize what I should do, I trailed up to him and leaned in. I let our lips meet, it had been years but I felt the same. He placed one hand on my lower back while the other went on the back of my neck. He deepened our kiss by squeezing me against him, we finally pulled away for air which gave me time to whisper. "I love you too. I promise..to fix you", his eyebrows furrowed "what?". I pushed him away and bolted towards the portal.

I can hear him groan in frustration before using his cord like tentacles to try and grab me. "I won't let you go!I vow I will have you by my side y/n!" I heard him yell before I woke up in Steve's arms. "Oh thank god!" He hugged me, I gasped for air. What just happened?!
