I sat patiently on a metal chair, fiddling with my fingers as I watched Murray try to intimidate a Russian guard. I was facing some control panel.

 "Tell him the prisoners are contained and you're working on the power. Tell them!" Murray yelled at the guard.

I returned my focus back to a large cut on my arm. It was turning an odd colour, and wasn't healing at a normal pace. Dmitri was staring at me, concerningly.

"It's not infected, is it?" He asked me.

I just shrugged at him. I looked over and smiled at Joyce and Hopper, as I listened to their conversation.

"How's El? God, she must be so grown now."

"She's good. She misses her dad. We all do"

I glanced over at one of the many screens on the wall, showing the Demogorgan.

"Uh, I hate to interrupt, but apparently, they can climb too." 

We all surrounded the screen and watched as the guards shot at it. I turned back as I heard a strange sound coming from the door behind us. 

"The hell is that"

"Please tell me they don't have another one of those things"

Hopper started to walk towards the door as a scientist in a white coat started to warn him.

"You can't go in there- It's dangerous!"

I trailed behind Hopper, Dmitri not too far behind me.

I carefully opened the large door, peeking through as Hoppper pointed his gun at whatever was behind it.

I glared intriguingly as there was a cut open, Demogorgan, laying there. 

"Oh god- " I murmured

We all stared at it in horror as it aggressively jumped around, its guts spilling onto the table with every movement.

Hopper moved towards it and used his gun to put it down, blood flying all over my face.

"Are you okay? You look a bit pale" Dmitri asked me.

I looked at him and felt puke running up my throat. I gagged as I threw up on the floor. Dmitri rushed towards me as I felt him tie my hair back.

"Are you good to keep going?"

I nodded.

We kept moving into another room. It was full of Demogorgans in orange capsules.

"Hey, I think I found something" 

We followed Dmitri back into the other room, as he ripped a vent from the floor. Hopper looked at him and back at all of us.

"Think this'll lead us out of here?"

"I give it maybe, a hundred to one odds" Dmitri said, grinning.

--------

I sat patiently in the back of a van we found, next to Dmitri. Murray was planning to ram through the gate to get us out through the fence.

I gripped onto Dmitri's jacket as we were nearing it. I closed my eyes once I heard a loud bang and gunshots. Windows started to crack as Dmitri huddled into me.

"You guys okay?" I yelled over the car's noise.

"Okay? I'm great! Whoo!" Murray cheered. He looked back at Dmitri.

"Nothing like a little prison escape to get your day started, am I right?"

"We are not out of the woods yet. My people do not take kindly to escapes. They will be hunting us down."

"We aren't exactly panning on sticking around. Where's the plane you came in on?" Hopper asked.

"That plane, well, crashed. His fault" Joyce said as she pointed at Yuri.

"That man is more slippery than an eel dipped in baby oil! Don't trust a word out of his mouth."

Yuri fell into a coughing fit as Hopper ripped off the fabric covering his mouth.

"My tongue.. My tongue! I can't feel my tongue!"

"We need to get out of here, back to the states. Can you get us to another plane?" Hopper told him, gripping his chin.

"Now you are asking for Yuri's help; After dragging him through miles of shit tunnel? I could have told you we are going wrong way hours ago. You-"

"Watch your mouth, Or I am going to take this, I'm gonna rub it along the bottom of my shoe, and I'm gonna jam it down your throat."

I gazed out the window, losing interest in their conversation.

"What are you thinking about, darling" Dmitri asked me.

"Do you think you'll come back with us? To the states?"

"I don't really have much of a choice. Stay here, and die, or find a place in the states to stay."

"You could always stay with me, you know."

"I'd love to stay with you"
