Chapter 4: essence

It was late, way later than Michael wanted to stay up but in order for him to leave without him and Jane being swarmed with any other questions this was the best thing to do, 

Michael was getting a wig placed and some added freckles in a way to subtly disguise himself from being noticed, he had no idea if this would work but he held throughout the whole process before it was Janes turn, she was also getting a wig however of a different color than what Michael had got, both of one of their closest friends,  Dustin was aware of the story forcing them to tell him before they went on their fake retreat together, he offered to help out with disguising  them knowing that they'd need it. Dustin was well known for his endless and amazing make up skills throughout the Internet, he gave Michael some fake freckles along with a raven black wig  in which had bangs and subtle  curls at the ends. Jane was given a light brown wig with bangs as well, they had her remove all makeup from her bag except for some neutral gloss and a full thing of mascara. 

With that the two had  made  their way towards the airport and began their flight, not gaining too many stares from their new appearances. It was 1:30 am when they landed in Hawkins Indiana, Michael booked a cab to take them to the address his mom sent him. Michaels eyes were beginning to droop when he suddenly felt the tap of janes hand on his shoulder, he looked up at her and she stared at him for a bit making sure he was awake, "Michael, we need fake names!" She whispered while michael began rubbing his eyes with a closed fist. "Oh,right." He began before fully sitting up from his slouched position and placing a finger under his Chin, "how about...yours is el?" Jane furrowed her eyebrows in question of the new name but quickly just nodded seeing as she was too tired to ask where he came up with it. "Okay then, what will yours be??" She asked Michael as he continued to stare at the seat in deep thought. 

"Mike, I'm mike." He finally said while looking up at el holding out his hand for her to shake it, she smiled before going along with it,"Nice to meet you Mike I'm El.""

 ~~~ 

"JANE JANE WAKE UP WE'RE HERE!" Mike yelled at the now sleeping brunette while aggressively tapping her shoulder. She groaned a little before rubbing her eyes and getting out of the cab. Mike took their bags out, wheeling their luggage to the front of the house, el began a tiny knock. 

After looking through the windows to figure out why no one was answering mike began to start banging on the door, annoyed that whoever owned the house was aware of their arrival but not answering, leaving el and him to be stuck out in the rain at 2 in the morning. 

He kept pounding on the door when he heard someone from the other side of the door beginning to unlock the door, the door opened and before he knew it there was a baseball bat on its way towards mike and els heads. He quickly threw his hand up stopping the bat from going any further. He looked up at the person who had the bat and immediately felt a slight tug in his stomach. 'Who is this?????'  

Mike snapped out of his clogged mind for a second trailing back to the bat he was still gripping onto, the palm of his hand beginning to become involuntarily sweaty. "WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? HOW DID YOU GET HERE? " Mike looked up to see a hazel haired boy glaring at him with wide eyes, he raised his eyebrows as a signal for him to speak, Mike shook his head and began to speak,"I- I uhm Karen she told us that you'd be expecting us-" suddenly wills eyes became more friendly and he threw the bat somewhere back in the house, "Are you two the visitors who will be staying with us for a month or longer??" He suddenly spoke while leaning against the doorway, folding both arms. 

"Y-yeah!" Mike answered alertly surprised at wills change of tone.

"Come on in!" Will beamed opening the door, the two walked in, jane  dragging her feet since she was still tired from both the flight and the car ride. She just wanted a bed and a soft mattress she could fall into and not care about anything else.
