Holly, Jolly

The next day Lucas and Dustin arrived with bags. "We just tell our parents we have AV Club after school. That'll give us at least a few hours for Operation Mirkwood." Mike explained.
"You seriously think that the weirdo knows where Will is?" Lucas didn't seem convinced. "Just trust me on this, okay?" "Okay." "Did you get the supplies?" Mike changed the subject. "Yeah." Lucas picked up his bag. "Binoculars... from 'Nam. Army knife... also from 'Nam. Hammer, camouflage bandana...and the wrist rocket." Lucas said as he took each item out. "You're gonna take out the Demogorgon with a slingshot?" Dustin scoffed. "First of all, it's a wrist rocket.
And second of all, the Demogorgon's not real. It's made up." Lucas pushed back.
"But if there is something out there, I'm gonna shoot it in the eye...and blind it!" Mike rolled hi eyes and looked at Dustin. "Dustin, what did you get?"

Dustin emptied his bag onto the table."Well, alrighty. So, we've got...
Nutty Bars, Bazooka, Pez, Smarties,
Pringles, Nilla Wafers, apple, banana, and trail mix." "Seriously?" Mike said he didn't look impressed. "We need energy for our travels. For stamina.
And besides, why do we even need weapons anyway? We have her." Dustin had a point.

"She shut one door! And we don't even know what Y/n can do!" Lucas argued. First of all El shut the door with her mind!"
"Are you kidding me? That's insane!" Lucas cut Dustin off. "Second of all! If Y/n is anything like El just Imagine all the cool stuff they could do! Like...I bet...that Y/n could make this fly!" Dustin picked up a Millennium Falcon and walked toward me. "Okay,concentrate. Okay?" He dropped the toy and it fell to the ground. I just stared at him. "Okay, one more time." He picked it up. "Okay. Use your powers, okay?" He dropped it again. He stared at me and I stared back. "Idiot. She's not a dog!" My took the toy from Dustin.
"Time for school!" I heard a woman's voice. "Just stay down here." Mike looked at El and I
Don't make any noise, and don't leave.
If you get hungry, eat Dustin's snacks, okay? You know those power lines?
"Power lines?" El and I said in unison "Yeah. The ones behind my house?"
"Yes." I said looking at El. "Meet us there, after school." "After school?" El looked confused. "Yeah, 3:15." Mike took of his watch and handed it to me. "When the numbers read three-one-five, meet us there." He said. "Three-one-five." I confirmed.

Some time had passed since Mike had left. El was making the toy ship Dustin tried to make me move with my mind, float while I was fiddling with the walkie talkie.

El dropped the toy and looked over to me, I put down the walkie talkie and looked around. My eyes met the staircase before looking back at El. "What about up there?" I asked gesturing towards the stairs. El simply nodded before getting up and looked at me. I stood up and we walked upstairs.

~○~

The house was quite. I was in the kitchen looking around while El was sitting on the La-Z-Boy. I walked into the hall but heard a static noise and then talking. I went into the living room to see El sitting on the floor in front of the 22-inch TV. She was browsing the channels before coming across a Coca-Cola add. She closed her eye, I could tell she was thinking about something. She started flinching so I rushed over and turned the TV off.

She opened her eyes as her breath quickened. I hugged her and gave her a reassuring smile.

~○~

We were in on the second floor looking in draws and closets. I remembered Mike saying something about a three a one and a five. I looked down at my wrist where I wore Mike's watch. It read, '3:12'. I looked at El and said. "We have to be at the powerlines." We ran down the stairs and left the house.

~○~

We were waiting by the powerlines. El was pacing back and fourth. "Y/n! El!" I heard in the distance. I saw 3 boys walking towards us holding bikes.

"Hop on. We only have a few hours." Mike said looking at El. "Y/n, you can go with Dustin." I look over at Dustin. He gives me a smile.

I walk over to him and he gets on the bike. "No, I'll peddle you hold on." Dustin looked at me stunned before getting off. I got on and he sat behind me holding my waist.

"After you." I look at the other boys. They looked shocked but rode off as I followed behind.

~○~

We got off the bikes and started walking up a hill. Mike an El were in front while Lucas, Dustin and I were following. I heard Mike talking to El but again I wasn't paying attention. He said something about a mouth breather I don't know. I admired the scenery, the leaves on the ground all the trees. It was beautiful.

~○~

It was dark. We got to a house and El stopped. "Here." El said. "Yeah...this is where Will lives." Mike explained.
"Hiding." El looked at him. "No, no this is where he lives." Mike said. "He's missing from here understand?"

"What are we doing here?" Lucas said as he dropped his bike. "She said he's hiding here." Mike explained. "Um...no!" "I swear to God of we walked all this way for nothing-" Dustin chimed in. "That's exactly what we did!" Lucas looked frustrated. "I told you she didn't know what the hell she was talking about!" Lucas said waving his arms in the air.

"Why did you bring us here?" Mike asked. El looked towards me and stuttered. I looked back at her. I knew why we were here but I didn't think they would believe us.

"Mike! Don't waste your time with them." Lucas said. "Well then what do you wanna do then?" Mike protested.

"Call the cops like we should've done yesterday!" Lucas pushed back. "We are not calling the cops!" Mike and Lucas argued.

"Hey guys..." Dustin said trying to get our attention. "GUYS!" Dustin walked past me. We heard sirens which finally caught Mike and Lucas's attention.

"Will." Mike whispered.

We hopped on the bikes and went after the police cars. We stopped at a lake and we hid behind a firetruck. We looked as they pulled out a body. It was pale almost blue. "Will?" I asked myself. We all looked in shock. The boys sat at the back of the truck horrified.

They had just found their best friend but not how they wanted to...
