Make a deal With God

Starcourt

"Can you get Billy to Starcourt?" Hopper asked. "Probably, but why" I asked.  "If we get him into the subbasement we can set it on fire, then get Billy out" Hopper said. I looked to Eddie. "I'll do it" I said  "no" Eddie  said barging in. "You won't, we can't risk you getting hurt" he said. I shook my head "the longer Billy is flayed the more people get hurt" I said. "Then let us kill him" Steve said. "What's your problem Harrington" I said waving my arms. "If it was you, would you want me to kill you" I asked and Steve stopped. "You'd never be in the predicament to make that decision" he said. "I was before, tell him hopper" I said and hoppers gaze darted up from the floor.

"You weren't yourself then kid, but she said you were still in there, everyone else, well" Hopper rubbed the back of his neck. 

"Nancy, Tommy, Carol, they all said to kill you, they said you were gone that you'd never come back" I said. "Nancy voted to kill me" he asked shocked. "Why do you think we fought" I said looking down.

"Okay no enough we have to focus" Hopper said.  "Just get the boy down there and we'll do the rest" Hopper said and I nodded. I had Eddie drop me off at Billy's. His blue camero parked out front.

"No harm in running" Eddie said as I got out of the van

"Billy!" I yelled  "Lou what are you doing here" he asked.  "I need you Billy please" I begged feeling sick. "I'll be right down" he said. His cold arms wrapped around me.  "Can we go to the mall there's something I wanna show you" I said. "A new spot" I lied as he opened the door. He nodded. And sped like hell to StarCourt. I guided Billy through stairs and a tunnel.  "In here" I said pushing the door. "Ohhh dark and quiet, I like" Billy said pushing me against the wall  my stomach turning. He buried his face against my neck breathing Softly. "You're shaking are you scared" the mind flayer spoke through Billy. "N no just cold" I lied. "Hmm well I'm sure this vessel can warm you up" he spoke again as Billy's hand ran down my body and rested on my hip.  "I should've been the first one" Billy said. "Wouldve been so good to you" he said softly running his hand up my shirt. I was silently pleading for them to hurry.

"Now!" A loud voice and even louder boom sperated me from Billy, I was pulled back through the door as flames erupted, I heard screaming. We got up to the main floor and there it was. The mind flayer creature. Tendrils of arm like tentacles flailing around.

"What is that!" I yelled at Dustin "that's the things controlling the flayed. "We gotta get El back underground to close the gate" Mike said turning to Hopper. They grabbed Joyce and headed down.   "Louisianna!" I turned at the sound of my name. Billy. Normal Billy. He fell into my arms, body burned slightly. "I'm so sorry" he sobbed. Steve, Eddie, max, Nancy and Jonathon look on in horror as a  tendril wrapped around my ankle and pulled. I screamed out. "Lou!" Eddie yelled.

The monster flipped me upside down and pulled me to what I assumed was its face.  "Lou!" I turned as best I could and saw max screaming, Billy in her lap.

That's the last thing I remember before the tendrils dug into my skin. Screams ripped through my body and I blacked out.

Everything was quiet, the gate was closed and the mind flayer was dead.  I laid in a pool of my own blood whimpering.
