"Whatever you guys are doing up there, hurry up!" Steve's yells echoed from within the Upside Down.
"Steve says you need to hurry!" Erica ran down the hallway.
"No shit!" Dustin screamed.
"We're trying. We can't find anything." Max hurried to dig, Clove yanked Eddie's closet open.
"I'm scared to look in here!" she yelled over her shoulder.
"I wouldn't, Prez." Eddie hurried to shove his closet doors shut again.
"Seriously, what is all this shit!" Robin panicked.
"What are you even looking for?" Eddie gave her a crazed look.
"Music! We need music!" Robin looked up at him in agony.
"This is music!" Eddie shouted close to her face.
"Oh my goddd." Clove went running back down the hall.
"You scared her." Max scolded Eddie, running. "Clove!"
"Yo!" the blonde called to Steve. "How's Nancy feel about heavy metal?"
"What!" Steve yelled at her.
"I keep heavy metal tapes at Max's house!" She called back.
"What!" Max was the one to yell, not getting an answer as Nancy gasped, falling into Steve's arms. Clove looked up, out reaching her hand to help pull them out.
"It's okay." Steve held Nancy, latching onto Cloves hand to accept her help. "It's okay. I'm here. I'm right here."
Clove sat on the couch, Max was behind her with her hands pressing into her shoulders. They both listened closely to Nancy. "He showed me things that haven't happened yet. The most awful things. I saw...a dark cloud spreading over Hawkins. Downtown on fire. Dead soldiers. And this...this giant creature with a gapping mouth. And this creature wasn't alone. There were so many monsters. An army. And they were coming into Hawkins. Into our neighborhoods. Our homes. And then...he showed me my mom. And Holly. Mike. And they... they were all..."
"Okay, but...he's just trying to scare you, Nance." Steve tried to make it better. "It's not real."
"Not yet." Nancy sniffled. Clove reached over to hand her a tissue before leaning back into Max's touch. "But there...there was something else. He showed me gates. Four gates. Spreading across Hawkins. And these gates, they looked like the one outside of Eddie's trailer but...they didn't stop growing. And this wasn't the Upside Down Hawkins. This was our Hawkins. Our home."
"Four chimes." Max spoke up, the blonde looked over her shoulder at her. "Vecna's clock. It always chimes four times. Four exactly."
"I heard them too." Nancy's eyebrows frowned together, voice still weak..
