Eddie p.o.v
Cold. That's all I felt. Just a cold chill in the air. I woke up with a jolt, and saw the dreaded upside down, but I was confused. I died. I died fighting for my friends, so when I realised I was still alive I was overjoyed! "Oh hell yes! Henderson! Henderson I'm alive!" I shouted happily. The excitement died down when I realised that Dustin wasn't there, I was alone, in the upside down. "Crap. I gotta find a way out of here!" I told myself, but as I started to sit up I felt an uncontrollable feeling in my stomach, hunger. I knelt in pain, clutching my stomach out of hunger, until I heard a rustling in the bushes nearby. I sprinted over to the sound, quicker than usual but I shrugged it off, as I came to a stop.
I saw a demodog, just wandering around. My mouth watering at the sight, which was an odd choice of food but I decided to go with it. I leaped onto the unsuspecting demodog and bit hard into its neck, feasting on it, draining all of its blood. After my meal I noticed something wrong, I looked at my hands and gasped. My nails had grown into claws, my hands a shade of grey, I felt something pointy in my mouth, thinking it was a bone or something from the demodog, but was soon proven wrong. I moved my tongue across my teeth and realised that two of my front canines were sharp fangs. I felt thirsty and heard a river nearby. I sprinted fast over to the sound and was relived to see a small river. Sure the water was discoloured but I didn't care, as I scooped up some water and started to drink, I saw a creature's reflection in the water, as I looked back I realised that the creature...was me.

I had fangs, my nails like claws, but then my ears were pointed, and my eyes were crimson red. But the biggest thing was what was attached to me. I saw a tail protruding from the lower of my back, it was pitch black, swaying nervously as if responding to my emotions. Then the biggest thing, an identical pair of bat wings protruded from my back, 6 ft each, black as night. After looking at my reflection, realisations dawned on me harshly. "I'm, im a fucking vampire. IM. A FUCKING. VAMPIRE!!" I shouted to the sky. "And here I thought vampires couldn't see their reflection. Must be different since I got turned into this, instead of born one." I thought to myself. I had to get out of here, I had to find someone, anyone to tell them that I'm ok. Well, alive that is, well, oh whatever, you get the point. I scan the area for any gates that appeared open. Then I remembered my uncle's trailer. There was a gate there. So I flew over there, like literally flew. I just wanted to test out the wings but they caught the wind and I just took off. I laughed out of excitement, maybe being a vampire won't be that bad. I reach the trailer and head inside. "Maybe I should try to hide this tail and these wings first, I wouldn't want anyone having another excuse to call me a freak." I concentrated and saw that my wings and tail had vanished, good to know I can just command when I get them or not. I grabbed a nearby chair and crawled through the gate, falling flat on my back, forgetting that the mattress was moved. I ran into my room and grabbed anything I could find as a disguise, I was still a deadman. As I walked out I noticed that it was a full moon. Great, just perfect, now my hunger will go out of control.

Collecting myself I began to go to Steve's house. I know my first thought should've been Henderson and not Harrington but I wasn't ready to face Dustin just yet, guilt eating me on the inside. As I was walking I heard a howl in the woods, since when did Hawkins ever have wild dogs? I shrugged it off and continued to walk. Going past the woods I got a whiff of something smelling delicious, I decided to see Steve after I found out the delicious smell, and sprinted towards the scent. I was shocked to see a deer on the ground, bleeding excessively. So that's wonderful I'm enticed by the smell of blood. As I got closer I saw a creature eating the deer, it had a soft looking tail, pointed ears at the top of its head, but it looked human. Then I saw the hair, I'd remember that hair anywhere. "HARRINGTON?!" He turned around to me, a chunk of deer hung out of his mouth, he had fangs and his eyes glowed yellow. He dropped the deer meat as he saw me. "MUNSON?!" He shouted to me. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" We both said in unison. "Ok ok, how about we take turns here, you go first, tell me how the fuck your alive, and then I'll tell you about my appearance." He told me. "Ok fine whatever. I did die, but then I just woke up in the upside down, had a craving for blood and then came to the realisation that I'm some kind of Vampire." I recounted. Steve just looked at me in disbelief. "Did anything else come with this or is it just the fangs, ears, coloured eyes and claws?" He asked. "Yep, these." I said as I summoned the wings and tail with ease. Steve fell down on his ass at the shock of the sudden change. "Holy shit. Your alive and a vampire? Now that's insane." He said. "Tell me about it, now your turn Harrington. How come your like this?" I said gesturing to his appearance. "Well, when I was younger, I was out in these woods, when I was bitten by a wild dog. Turns out that dog was a Wolf, a werewolf to be exact. I never told any of you guys as I was scared to how you would react." He explained. I nodded in understanding. "Well now we both have something to tell them." I joked. Steve looked at the ground, a sad look on his face, his tail dropped in sadness. "What's wrong?" "Eddie, you've been dead for a week. And so much happened within a week. Max is in a coma, Dustin got so sad man, like really upset. He couldn't stand the fact that you died in his arms. It broke him man, I haven't seen him smile since." I felt like someone stabbed me in the chest with a wooden stake. Guilt coursed through me. "Shit. I need to see him, tell him I'm here!" I said. "Oh no, not just yet! Not until you can get a hold of your hunger and learn to get rid of the claws, ears, fangs and coloured eyes. If you haven't noticed it's a full moon. It's best you eat now while you have a chance." Steve said strictly. I groaned and just nodded. He gave me a big chunk of bloody meat and I took it, smelling the strong aroma of blood, enticing me completely. My mouth watering at the smell, I took a big bite and started to drink, the taste of blood filling my mouth. After all of the blood was drained I wiped my mouth from any blood left. I handed the shriveled blood sucked piece of meat to Harrington and he ate what was left. "Damn it's not as good without the blood but it kinda tastes like jerky." He said jokingly. I laugh and start to feel better.

"Alright, now so that no one gets suspicious about a random dead deer, I just take the rest home for emergencies or just random hunger pangs." Steve said grabbing a plastic bag from his pants pocket, I watch as he stuffed piece by piece of deer meat into the bag, bones and all. After he was done he turned towards me, "Now Munson, since you still need help, I will let you stay with me. Since my parents are on a business trip and my house is huge, you are welcome to stay." I smile in appreciation and we start to walk off, until I get a sneaky idea. A smirk made it's way on my face. I grab Harrington by the waist. "Woah woah Munson what are you doing?!" He said panicked. I flash him a mischievous smile, "Oh don't you worry big boy, just making sure you catch your flight." "What's that supposed to mean- OH SHIT MUNSON!!" Steve shouts as we take off into the night sky, my wings flapping hard.
