grandfather clock

Max gets out of the car and starts to walk up to the front door of Ms. Kelly's house. She has only talked to her once and that was when Billy died so she was going to act like she was grieving him so she can get the keys to the school and the key to the files in the school so we can see what Chrissy and Fred were telling her. Max walks into Ms. Kelly's house and we all sit back to watch. I get my Walkman and I put on Enter Sandman by Metallica. One of my favorite songs.

After listening to it we watch Max run out of the house and into the car. Steve peels out of the driveway and we start our ride to the school. While we are driving, we hear Dustin's radio go off, Lucas is calling for Dustin and tells us that some bad shit is about to go down, Max tells him to meet us at the school but he doesn't respond. We sigh and sit back.

After a while of driving we make it into the school and start to walk to Ms. Kelly's office. Max and I walk ahead and get there before the boys do. Max and I make it and unlock the door into the office. I get over to the files and open the cabinet.

"Campbell, Carter, Cullin, Cunningham," I pull out Chrissy's file and place it on the desk, "Holy shit, Benson," I put Fred's file on the desk and close the drawer, "Fred was seeing Ms. Kelly too."

The boys and Max are already staring at me, and we start to piece things together. I look at both of the files and I compare them. They both had severe headaches and nightmares. I start to get nervous as I pull out my file to compare sheets. My heart is racing a thousand miles a minute. I start to turn as I hear the ticking of a clock. But not just any clock, a grandfather clock. Why though? There are no grandfather clocks in this school.

I get up as I hear someone calling my name, "(Y/n)."

It's a male's voice, its low and dark. I walk out of Ms. Kelly's office with a flashlight in hand. I step out and jump as the clock chimes. I start walking towards the sound of the clock and I turn the corner to see a grandfather clock inside of the wall. It chimes for a second time scaring the shit out of me. I shine the flashlight at it and walk closer as it chimes a third time. I go to touch it as it chimes for a fourth and final time.

"(Y/n)!"

I blink and see Steve, Max and Dustin staring at me, "what the fuck was that."

I breathe heavily and I get up without saying a word. They stare at me and follow as I walk down the hall to where the clock was. Nancy and Robin run in and watch us turn the corner. I stare at the wall as the clock was now gone.

"It was right here, a huge grandfather clock in the wall. It was so real," I stare at the now blank wall "when I get closer and I was about to touch it, I woke up."

"It was like she was in a trance or something," Dustin says and I turn around to look at them.

"Thats not even the bad part. Fred and Chrissy both came to Ms. Kelly for help," I explain as we walk back to the office, "they both were having headaches, bad headaches that wouldn't go away and then the nightmares. Trouble sleeping. They'd wake up in a cold sweat. And then they started seeing things. Bad things. From their past. Then these visions would get worse and worse until eventually, everything ended."

I can feel a lump in my throat as my eyes fill with tears, Robin looks up from where she had sat down and realizes its Vecna's curse.

"Chrissy's headaches started a week ago, Fred six days ago, I've been having them for five days. I don't know how long I have," tears start to roll down my cheeks, "all I know is that for Fred and Chrissy, they both died less than 24 hours after their first vision. And I just saw that goddamn clock, so. Looks like I'm going to die tomorrow."
