STORY

¿

The sun was shining, ,like it usually was in Hawkins, she walked into the classroom filled to the brim with stupid teenagers and the odd nice teenager. She stood arms crossed in the centre, in the front of the green chalk board.
"Please introduce yourself." The science teacher said with a smile on his wrinkly face. She just hummed in response as she looked the class up and down.
"G'day, I'm Taylor. And I've moved here from Brisbane." She introduced herself with a mild Australian accent as she spoke.
"Where's Brisbane?" Another student asked.
"Are you stupid? It's the capital of Queensland in Australia, dumbass." A classmate with jet black, natural curled hair replied as he glared at the student who had asked the question. Taylor just chuckled beneath her breath.
"Interesting.." She muttered with a smile on her face as the student just glared at the other black headed student.
"Please go and take a seat next to Michael." The teacher said as he took a seat behind his boring, plain desk. There were plenty of empty seats in the classroom so it didn't really give any clues to who this Michael was.
"I'm Michael Wheeler but please just call me Mike." Michael raised his hand, his curled hair moved slightly to the side. Taylor just smiled as she walked over to Mike and sat in the seat besides him, sharing desks with him.
"I'm Taylor as you already know, but call me Tay." Taylor swerved around in her seat and faced Mike.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Tay." Mike smiled as looked at the teenage girl infront of him.
"Likewise." She returned the smile.

Months had passed since her first day at Hawkins school. Her and Mike had become the best of friends and she had met his other friends in their small party of 4 which she had now joined. Her brunette hair was tied back in a ponytail.
"G'day Dustin." Taylor smiled as she sat down comfortably on the sofa in the basement of the Wheelers' home.
"Hello Taylor!" Henderson replied with his gummy smile.
"Where's Mike at?" Taylor asked as she turned to Will.
"I'm Here!" Mike burst, running down the stairs carrying boxes and boxes of objects.
"Now that we are all here, I want to show you something and I need your guys' advice on it." Taylor began to explain as she fiddled with her fingers nervously.
"Okay? Begin." Mike said as he sat next to Taylor on the comfy sofa. Taylor pulled up the sleeve on her jacket, showing the black inked digits on her wrist.
"What the fuck?.." Lucas whispered as he looked at the black ink.
"Aren't you too young to get a tattoo?" Will asked as he checked out the ink.
"I've had it ever since I can remember. But I don't know how or why I got it because I don't remember anything before getting adopted and taken to Australia and then moving here to Hawkins." Taylor explained, summarising, leaving little details out along the way.
"Oh, christ that must be difficult for you, but is that all you remember?" Mike asked as he looked down at the digits inked permanently into her skin.
"It's getting late. I should head home." Will said standing up from the sofa trying to dodge the whole subject due to his high amount of confusion.
"Oh okay, we'll see you tomorrow at school then?" Dustin asked as he got up and helped pack away Will's things.

Minutes had passed, Will and Lucas had left and Dustin was just saying goodbye to Mike's mother and then he was leaving.

"I'll tell you what I remember Mike." She sighed as she looked over at Mike.
"Please do, I'm sort of confused." Mike chuckled awkwardly.
"Okay, so. I was taken away when I was a little girl. I was taken for an experiment at Hawkins Lab, through the forest and up the hill, you will find it." Taylor began explaining where Mike just sat nodding and listening to what Taylor had to say.
"The experiment was about telekinesis, parallel universes and stuff like that. I was born with extraordinary powers, which is why i was taken. We were tattooed a number on our wrists. My twin sister got the number, Eleven, and I got, twelve. My sister is still in that lab to this day. They pulled various experiments on us and deceived us so they could use us for their personal goods. They wanted to see what we were capable of my torturing us. I was stuck there for years, until I finally escaped where my Foster family found me in the forest. They took me in and we shortly after left for Australia to escape them." Taylor explained.
"Wait but why were you and the other children experimented on?" Mike asked as he stared at Taylor, completely shocked and stunned.

"Because of the world, parallel to ours. They wanted an open gate so they could explore that universe. And they needed us to do it. And because we were abnormal to other humans. So we were a new species." Taylor answered Mike's query.
"No offence but how can I believe something so unbelievable. Like, you have powers!?" Mike said honestly in a whispery-shout tone.
"Do you want me to demonstrate?" Taylor queried. Mike nodded in reply.

Taylor stared, glaring at the wooden chest filled with books and board games. The wooden chest began to float mid air and warm thick vermillion blood began to trickle from her nose.

"What the actual fuck!?"

Was all that Mike could say, who was stood, paralysed in shock.
