"Rose!" she shouts, making the girl look over. "We have a plan."
She nods and runs towards her.
"Lucas, you're in charge!" she says from the door, all the kids now looking up. "I'll be back soon!"
The two girls go over to Jonathan's car and get in, heading to the police station first to grab all the supplies they bought then head to the Byers to lure this monster out.
Rose drops the box on top of the table in the center of the living room. She looks around to the lights and thinks back to her time in the Upside Down.
"How do we lure it here?" Nancy asks.
"We use blood to lure it." she says. "The more the better, but even a small cut will get its attention. But we shouldn't do that yet. We need to prepare everything first: traps, weapons, and a way of tracking it."
"Like the lights?" Jonathan asks.
"Exactly." she says. "Now we just have to... screw all the bulbs back in."
All three groan but start painstakingly twisting the tiny bulbs into the Christmas lights.
After finishing their alarm system, they start setting up the traps and weapons.
"Nance, catch." Rose says, throwing the box of bullets to her. "Jonathan, I'll set up your bat."
"What about you?" she asks.
The blonde raises her eyebrows at her before, once again, creating a flame in her hand.
"Was that a serious question?" she asks.
Nancy holds her hands up while laughing, going to help Jonathan with the beartrap. Rose starts putting nails in the bat when she hears some sort of liquid pouring out.
"Nice touch Jon." she says, seeing the gasoline in his hand.
She throws him his bat, grabbing a knife from the kitchen, and sits down on the couch. The two inform her of the plan before Jonathan grabs two more knives and hands one to Nancy.
"On three." he says.
"One." Rose says, putting pressure on her palm.
"Two." Nancy says, both girls bracing themselves.
"Three." Jonathan says, all three slicing their hands at the same time.
"Bandages are in my room, hold on." Rose says, getting up quickly.
She returns with her bandages and throws them to the two of them. She sits off to the side after wrapping her own hand while the other two are talking.
"It's just the wind." Jonathan says. "Nancy?"
"Yeah?"
Suddenly, something, or someone, starts pounding on the door.
"Jonathan! Rose!"
Damnit Harrington
"Are you there man? It's-it's Steve! Listen, I just want to talk!"
Nancy walks over to the door and cracks it slightly.
"Steve, listen to me-"
"Hey." he says. "Nancy, what-"
"You need to leave." she says.
"I'm not trying to start anything, okay?" he says.
"I don't care about that." she says. "You need to leave."
