Nancy came out of it and we were now at Max's.

Nancy began to tell us what happened when Vecna had her, "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...giant creature with a gaping month. 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..."

She was breathing shakily, beginning to cry. We didn't really know how to act, we were kinda scared of what she was saying and describing.

Steve broke the silence, "Okay, but...he's just trying to scare you, Nance. Right? I mean...I mean it's not real."

"Not yet...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." Nancy told us.

"Four chimes. Vecna's clock. It always chimes four times. Four exactly." Max spoke. I think about what Max had just said, "He's been telling us his plan this whole time. Four kills. Four gates. End of the world." I said, figuring out what the four chimes meant.

"If that's true...he's only one kill away." Dustin spoke. "Oh Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ." Eddie spoke, rubbing his hands over his face.

He looks at me, reaching for my hand and squeezing it slightly. I intertwine our fingers, bringing his hand to my lips, lightly kissing his hand.

Max tried calling Joyce twice but just a busy signal tone. We've tried calling for about three days and it's always been busy. There has to be something wrong, it's not a coincidence.

Nancy walked to the window looking out it, "Whatever's happening in Lenora is connected to all of this. I'm swear of it. But Vecna can't hurt them. Not if he's dead. We have to go back in there. Back to the Upside Down."

Right when Nancy said that, Steve and Eddie immediately said no, absolutely disagreeing with Nancy's idea.

Nancy and Steve started to argue about going back. I could feel Eddie's hand slightly start to shake in mine. I put my arm around him, brining his head down to my shoulder as he put his hand on my thigh. Kissing him on the head trying to comfort him the best I could.

"We were wrong about Vecna. Henry. One. Sorry, what are we calling him now?" Robin asked frantically. Everyone started saying one of the names at once.

Robin continued frantically, "We've learned something new about Vecna/Henry/One. He's a number like Eleven, only a sick, evil, male, child-murdering version of her with really bad skin. But my-my-my point is, he's super powerful. He could turn us inside out with a snap of his fingers. It's not a fair fight."

"So why fight fair? You're right he's like Eleven. But that gives us an upper hand. We know Eleven's strengths. And weakness. When El remote-travels, she goes into this sort of trance-like state. I bet the same is true of Vecna." Dustin stated.

"That would explain what he was doing in that attic." Lucas said. "Exactly. When he attacks his next victim, I'll bet you he's back in that attic, physical body defenseless." Dustin continued to state.

As everyone continued to talk, we came up with a plan to take out Vecna and Max said she was going to be the bait, ditching Kate Bush. We didn't love the plan but it was the only thing that might work.

Eddie said there was a place where we could get weapons, War Zone.

Eddie had a plan to steal a camper. We all snuck over and hopped in a window on the side of the camper. Eddie began to hot-wire.

"Where'd you learn how to do this." Steve asked. "Well, when the other dads were teaching their kids how to fish or play ball, my old man was teaching me how to hot-wire. Now, I swore to myself I wouldn't wind up like he did, but now I'm wanted for murder, and soon, grand theft auto. So uh, I'm really living up to that Munson name." Eddie answered.

Robin came up behind Steve, "Uh, Eddie, I'm not sure I love the idea of you driving." Eddie looked at her, "Oh, I'm just starting this sucker. Harrington's got her. Don't ya, bug boy?"

Eddie finished hot-wiring and Steve switched seats with Eddie. As we drove away, the looks on the peoples faces were priceless.

We began our little road-trip to War Zone.

Nancy and Steve were in the front talking, Dustin and Robin and the little table, with Erica sitting in a little spot next to the table, Lucas and Max were in the back while me and Eddie were sitting on the ground.

I had my knees up with Eddie's hand on my leg, laying my head on on his shoulder with his head on mine.

After awhile we arrived, me and Eddie stayed in the camper while everyone else went inside to get what we need.

I saw Eddie looking at me, "What?" He smiled at me, "I'm just so lucky I have you, your the best thing to happen to me yn."

I smiled at him then kiss him, it was passionate, like we had all the time in the world to be in this moment. I walked over and grab his hand laying down on the bed/couch. I snuggled into him and he held me tightly. Kissing my forehead.

"I love you" I whispered softly feeling myself starting to drift off. Before I was fully asleep, "I love you too sweetheart."

I woke up to the door slamming shut. They yelled that we had to leave right now because Jason and his goons were there.

We arrived to an open field. Me, Eddie and Dustin were making shields, hammering nails in them. Max was helping Nancy saw the barrel of her shotgun that she got. Erica and Lucas were putting knives on the end of stick. And Steve and Robin were pouring gasoline into bottles with rags sticking out of them for an easy flame.

"Hey it's about to get late, I think we should head off." I say looking at Eddie play fighting with Dustin. He nods his head, taking my head walking over to Robin and Steve with Dustin behind us.

I was sitting down on the floor with Eddie's head on my lap, playing with his hair. I watched as he drifted off to sleep, giving him a gentle kiss on his forehead before drifting off to sleep myself.

By the time I woke up Steve had already dropped Max, Lucas and Erica off at the Creel house.

Eddie was still asleep, he looked so peaceful, god really took his time making him. All of this made me worry, I have this really bad feeling in my gut that something is going to happen and it's not good, at all.
