tbh idrk if i should do 30 chapters anymore, but who knows? also did not age well.

We raced back to Nancy, Robin, Dustin, and Steve. "Whoa, what is that? Steve asks. I replied, "Journal. It might help us." Dustin shrugs, so we continue looking around. It might be possible there was a gate in this house. But, possibly not.

If this place means something to Vecna, or 001, then a gate might exist somewhere in the house. But where? That was the question. "She's got problems, Nancy said about Robin. "Tell me about it, Steve replies." It's cool you two are friends now, Maybe after we find Vecna, kill him, save the world and stuff, maybe we can all go out."

"You know? Me, you, Robin, Jonathan, when he's back. It's not like we're dating, Me and Robin, Steve added. "She told you? That we're not?"

"Yes, She made that very clear."

Robin piped in, "Platonic with a capital P." I chuckle, continuing to look around. It seemed odd the house was important to Vecna. But I concluded why a while ago. "Um guys? I say. "Yeah? Everyone besides me says, in unison.

"Victor said his son went into a coma before dying, right? I ask. Nancy replied, "He did. What does that have to do with anything, (Y/N)?" I sighed, turning around. "Well, would you believe me if i told you he didn't die?"

They looked puzzled, so i knew they didn't believe me. Might even think I was insane. But it made sense since 001 told me in the lab years ago. Nancy frowned in confusion. "What do you even mean?"

"In the lab, Dr. Brenner faked the deaths to experiment on us, I reply. "For our abilities. Hence why we didn't have parents. Or, the parents were dead. So Vecna is Henry Creel, his son." Nancy sighed. "You sound crazy right now."

"(Y/N) might be right, Max piped in."Think about it... Why else would this place be important?" "Didn't Creel mention some demon? Steve asked. "There might've not been one, I respond confidently, heading to the attic." And I think I can back up my theory."

I raced up to the attic, i held the journal tightly as old papers were scattered. They were more like drawings. "Holy shit, I say, dumbfounded. "These were in my nightmares last night." I took a closer look at them.

"Isn't this one of the mind flayer? Robin blurted. She was right, of course. "Look, must be some coincidence this is drawn similar to the flayer, Nancy said. "No way Henry predicted it in the 50s. Any actual evidence?"

Nancy crossed her arms sternly. She was always skeptical, which I get. "I do, take a look, I smirk, opening the journal. It couldn't be Alice's, even if it had been found in her room. Probably placed there purposefully.

Everyone's eyes widened. They were shocked, but i certainly wasn't. Steve shrugged."(Y/n) was right, again." "Told you so, I smugly respond jokingly." But this kind of gives us advantage. He has limits, weaknesses."

"What weaknesses?"

I reply, "I'm not sure yet. But, we'll find them, I just know it." Instead of thinking I was crazy, they just nodded, trusting my words. We still were upstairs when I noticed the light was flickering like crazy.

Confidently, I say, "Bingo. He's here." They came closer to me, puzzled. Steve said, "Holy shit." Everyone was more dumbfounded and surprised. But it proved something, I was right. We split up again, but I knew i wasn't alone.

"(Y/N)..."

I turn around, confusedly. Nobody was there. But i knew who was calling my name. Vecna. I needed to ignore him as much as possible. Otherwise, I'm doomed. Even with my powers, He was stronger than me.

"(y/n)...."

God, why was he continuing to call my name? I groan, ignoring it even more. I couldn't end up in the upside down, again. Plus, there were more important things right now.

I sighed, taking deep breaths as I got a major headache, it was more of a migraine and was super painful.

And I couldn't lay down anywhere, not that I wanted to. Once I fell asleep, those nightmares would begin.

Groaning, I continued with a flashlight looking around. This was something that had happened to me quite often, headaches; nightmares. Nose bleeds too.

And not when I was using my powers.

"(Y/N)! The party called."Where are you?" I yell back,"I'm right here!" They said okay and we all continued on.

But as soon as I began leaving the attic, something felt off. Extremely off. Hearing thunder boom from the distance, I knew where I had gone.

Upside down.

I didn't understand how or when. But I needed to get out of here. Somehow. And if Vecna finds me, then I'm really doomed.

I sigh, taking a deep breath again as I hear their yelling to wake me up. At least the party found me. Which was a good thing.

I kept thinking of positive memories since that was key on how I survived last time. Music, too. The vines were disgusting.

Maybe I could find his physical form here. But I had nothing to destroy him with anyway. I groan."Why didn't I come prepared? So stupid sometimes."

"(Y/n)...."

Instead of the deep voice of Vecna, it was his calm voice as 001. It confused me why he kept using this form with me.

Sure, I knew him as 001 but nothing special. That wasn't even a fear of mine anyways. I could handle him as Vecna.

"Come out, You coward! I yell."What do you want from me?" I didn't see him, but I heard him chuckle.

"You."

I didn't react, just stood there frozen. I didn't want to give him a reaction. It wasn't worth my time anyways. "Feeling isn't mutual, shithead, I mutter angrily, normally not someone who swears so often, I could name a few people at the top of my head.

"It doesn't matter, i will do it by force, then."

I shivered, still his 001 voice, but slightly deeper. It did scary me, just a tiny bit, though. I walked down the stairs. But I knew I couldn't get out just by going to Eddies.

No, I would have to use all my might to get out.
