"Eddie! Eddie! EEDDDIIEE!" You shout. You take another breath. You had sprinted from your moped to the edge of the Lake. You look to the dirt below you and wander through your pockets to find your flashlight. Your fingers curled around the handle and clicked it on.

Footsteps
Footsteps Into the woods.
Those woods were totally Haunted, but what wasn't in Hawkins?
Walking into that wood, felt like you were taking your last breath.
Again.

As you follow his boot's marks, you look to the woods around you. You had never seen trees so pretty, so close. You remember riding in the back seat of your uncle's car and watching those trees. Wondering why they kept them so fenced off, like you just wanted to sprint in and take a nap under one of its mighty branches. Or Climb the biggest rock you can find, and let it shelter you from any rain, and make a house with some leaves.
But you never got to. Not with him, not with them.

Your eyes fell back to the mud and kept your fast pace through the forest until you saw a lump of large rocks in the short distance. "Eddie?" You whisper And push through some bushes. Your eyes meet his. He was soaking wet, and terrified.
You stumble as fast as you can to him, "Are you okay?!" "Y/n- Y/n!" He grabs your face, Checking if you are real. Eddie's arms wrap around you, as he buries his face in your hair and neck. "Oh my god... That- thing- Vecna it killed one of the Jocks." "I jumped in the lake to swim away- and I just- ran- ran again." Your tiny grip tightens.

"Hey, Hey- come on- that's 2 attacks." You begin, "That running- got you here to this rock and where I found you. You're a final girl for sure."
Eddie laughs, "That's a fun way to say Coward." "There wasn't anything you could do. When it's done.. It's done." Your eyes fall to the floor, glossy. You hug him as tight as you can, "We don't know that- do we? I mean all spells can be broken right?" He breaks the hug and looks at you. "Right?"

You were glad it was dark and tilted the flashlight away from your figure.
"Okay, now you're scaring me."
"Y/n."
"Y/n!"
"Yeah- yeah, you're uh right."
You push yourself out of your thoughts.

Run. Keep Running, little rabbit. Run from the time- like you always have.

"Y/n!"
"Your fucking- freaking me out!"
"I'm sorry.." You shake your head and push yourself away from the boy. "What is it?" You look to his eyes. "You- you're off." Your mouth fell agape, nothing wanted to come out. "Fuck it- what is it? Are the others okay?! Am I on the news now or something?!" You shake your head, "Nonono- you're fine. Don't uh worry." "We're fine." "No- no no no- No. No. No! You can't just shake me off this time. What the fuck is going on? You know something!"

You click off your flashlight. "Can we- sit under the rock?" You ask, biting your lip. Your eyes felt glossy again, and you made sure he couldn't see it. "What?" "It- might rain or something. Just come on!" You grab his arm and pull him to the rock. Eddie easily breaks from your small grip. "No- you gotta tell me what the fuck is happening right now!" You look up to his eyes again. Big Mistake.

You look behind him. Leaves. Big Leaves.
You walk past him and gather some of them, and bring them to the rocks. "What are you doing..?" You keep up your pace and leave a small gap for you to enter. "Y/n-!" "Come on!" You sit underneath the rocks, now sheltered with some large leaves. "No- What the fuck! I get it if the others pull this shit, but not from you! You're better than them!" You watch him from the leaves in your tent. "Just-" "NO! Tell me! Now!"

"Please!" Your voice cracks. "Please.." Eddie crawls in the makeshift house. "I heard the clock," you say blankly. "5 days ago." "What?" "I know I probably shouldn't be near you if they found- me if they found me where you were- they'd blame you again. So I'm sorry." all you heard was the crickets in the wood around you, and the dripping of water from Eddie's jacket.

You feel two hands grab your face, and smash it against his. Your eyes widen but Lean in closer. Eddie's hands lead to your waist. Once you break your eyes find him in the dark, find his eyes.
"It's okay, I wasn't sure how long I'd have anyway." "No- No- nono- your a fucking- liar! You'll be fine- you'll be just fine. They'll find that cure for that kid and- you'll be fine." "just fine." "But you'd need a trauma for him to curse you.. What is it?"

You cringe, and let your arms fall from him. Eddie's eyebrows furrow and grab them before they land on the dirt. You dig into your pocket again and pull out a small sheet of paper. Some were written in crayon, others in pen, and some in marker. The paper had seen better days.

Eddie reads each bullet. "I made it when I was 10. I just kept adding after. I- I have this thing where.. My iron in my blood is too low- and I had mental issues and stuff when I was born and- I ran away and lived in my uncle's empty room. He didn't care, I don't think he even knows my name sometimes." "I didn't want to live a boring bed life- I wanted to be like- Ariel. Maybe learning the swimming would have helped."

"I.. Love you too." your eyes jolt to him. "What?" "I love you too. And you should tell me everything- about anything. I want to know everything. And I want- I want you to be safe. Are you not taking medicine- you said you didn't have much time anyway- what the fuck does that mean Y/n?!" "I do! I do- most of the time. It's just hard. I have to stab my arm and- swallow so many pills and- it's like I have legs why am I not using them to run away?"

"Hey. Hey! You're killing yourself. Before that thing can even do it! I want you to tell me every time you take something- and I'll write it down- we can figure something out!" "It doesn't matter." you shrug, "my times are almost up anyway." a chime behind him groans.
