Jess and Joyce hesitantly stepped into this unknown world. Jess going slightly ahead of Joyce so if anything did attack she'd take the first hit and try and protect Joyce.
Jess kept looking over at Joyce to check on her noticing her mask fogging up. "Hey hun. Make sure to breathe okay, deep breathes. In and out." Jess took deep breathes. "Joyce hun follow my breathing. In and out. In and out." Joyce followed Jess's breathing as she walked on.
"Mumma? Mumma? Jim found a birds nest with eggs inside he said it must have fallen from the tree outside." 6 year old Jess ran into the house calling for her Mum who didn't respond. "Mumma? Mum?" Jess looked in each room to find her till she slowly opened the bathroom door to see her Mum laying on the floor almost lifeless. "JIM! JIM! DAD! DAD PLEASE COME QUICK! MUM CAN YOU HEAR ME?! JIM?!"
Jim and their Dad rushed into the bathroom. "Jim get her out of here."
"But dad-"
"Jim get her out of here!" Their dad demanded once again until 11 year old Jim picked Jess up carrying her out of the house into the front garden.
"Jess?! Jess are you okay?" Joyce snapped her out of her daydream.
"Yeah. Yeah I'm fine, come on let's keep going."
They continued walking on as they called out Wills name. Joyce slightly ahead of Jess as they walked closer toward the Byers house but in this hell like world. Jess stopped when she stepped on something bumpy she lifted her foot to see a stuffed bear that was a tiger covered in all kinds of disgusting stuff.
"Hey kid I got you something." Jim walked into her bedroom closing on the door on all the people gathered in their house dressed in black. Jess sat there in her black dress on her bed. Jim sat opposite her reaching behind his back to show a stuffed toy lion.
"Thank you." Jess mumbled as she took the toy bringing it into her arms and squeezing it tightly as Jim scooted closer to her wrapping his arms round her as she leaned her head against his chest.
"Jess honey are you sure you're alright?" Joyce placed her hand on Jess arm again.
"Yeah. Yeah I'm fine come on." Jess walked ahead as Joyce looked at her in confusion for a second before walking behind her again. They went to Castle Byers but Will wasn't there and they checked through the house and nothing. They found tracks that what they hoped could lead them to Will they followed it to the public library.
They walked into the basement as Joyce looked around behind Jess, Jess pointed her gun with the flashlight on the ground to find Barb lying lifeless on the floor. Jess instantly close her eyes trying to focus on trying to find Will as she moved on.
"WILL!" Jess head turned to where Joyce pointed her flashlight to see Will in all this disgusting slime like stuff with something in his mouth that almost looked like a tentacle. "JESS GET IT OUT OF HIM!!!" Jess grabbed Will's shoulder whilst trying to pull whatever was in his mouth.
"Remember what you're mother told you sweetheart."
Jess shook her head to try and get the image of her father in the hospital bed out her head as she tugged at the tentacle-like in Wills mouth.
"You can fight any battle you want."
"Will oh my god!" Joyce cried.
"Love hold his shoulders for me."
"You're my brave girl you can do anything!"
"SON OF A BITCH!" Jess groaned as whatever was in Wills mouth slowly, but started to make its way out. Jess finally managed to get it out as she laid Will down. "Jess! Jess he's not breathing!" Joyce sobbed.
"It's okay. It's okay." Jess and Joyce started to take her hazard suit off. "Listen to me sweetie what you've got to do is tilt his head back and lift his chin!"
Jess started interlocked her finger together as she started to pump his chest.m counting to four with each pump. "Now when I tell you, you're going to pinch his nostrils, and breathe into his mouth twice. One second then pause, then one second." Joyce nodded as Jess continued pumping his chest till she gave Joyce a nod as she breathed into his mouth.
"WILL PLEASE COME ON!"
"He's pulse is dropping!" A nurse informed the doctors.
"Get the children out of here!!" A doctor yelled as two nurse started to drag a 7 year old Jess and 12 year old Hopper out of the hospital room as they tried to revive their dad.
"No Dad no!" Jess cried, kicked and screamed as the nurses pulled them away. "DAD!! LET ME GO! LET ME GO I WANT TO GO BACK TO MY DAD OLEASE NO!" Jess hit her fists against Wills chest hoping it would work but also out of frustration that she let those images into her head again.
Suddenly Will jolts up coughing and breathing heavily as Jess takes the oxygen mask and puts it round his face. Dropping her shoulders in relief, screwing her eyes shut hoping the images would fade. Holding Joyce's hand in reassurance, and Joyce squeezed it as a silent thank you.
