Chapter 4

Eddie's P.O.V
I gotta say, venom tastes fucking awful, but I managed to suck all of the remaining venom from Robin's wounds. A little bit of blood was spilled on Steve's fur coat but not enough to make me hungry and drink from Robin. There was a moment of silence, but I spat out the venom from my mouth and onto the ground, making a sizzling sound as it dropped. I wiped my mouth of any remaining venom and blood. "Ok rob, your all clear. Do you feel ok?" I asked her. She slowly sat up and nodded. "Yeah, I don't feel any different so that's a good sign right?" I nodded a yes and she sighed relived. "Here, I'll patch you up." I offered. I ripped the bottom of my Metallica shirt and gently wrapped her injuries, my shirt now a crop top. "Thankyou Eddie." She said thankfully. "No sweat." I replied.

"Steve do you mind if I ride on you with Robin? I just wanna make sure she's secure." Nancy asked the wolf. He complied and bent down for her to hop on. I flew beside them as we ventured through the upside down again. I used one of my bracelets as a hair tie and put my hair in a messy ponytail. I flapped my wings slowly, keeping up with Steve and the girls. I felt a pair of eyes watching me and low and behold Steve was staring at my appearance, my hair done up and in a crop top. If it's possible I noticed a small blush underneath that furry muzzle, I smirked at him. "Like what ya see Harrington?" He blinked a few times, his eyes widened in surprise and quickly looked away, but his tail gave away that he was excited, due to it wagging like crazy. I laughed lightly and continued to fly. "No flirting while in your wolf form Steve! It's weird..." Robin shouted from the top of the wolf. Nancy nodded in agreement. Steve softly whimpered and his tail hung down. "You made him sad! How dare you, he's just a puppy!" I teased. That earned a laugh from Robin and Nancy, and a nudge from Steve. "Hey I only speak the truth big boy! Every time you're in this form your like a big puppy, it's adorable!" I said teasing again.

After a few more quips and teasing to Steve, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Whats wrong Steve? Did you sense something?" Nancy said rubbing his wolf head. He slowly nodded and he slowly approached the upside down Hawkins high school. After we reached the entrance he bent down, letting Robin and Nancy off. I helped them get down carefully, especially Robin as she was still healing. We slowly approached the schools entry doors and opened them. Steve lifted his big wolf head and sniffed the air. "What's wrong boy? Do you smell something?" I asked concerned. He nodded and started to race down the vine covered hallway. "STEVE WAIT A SECOND!" Nancy shouted after him. I grabbed Nancy and Robin by their waists. "I'll fly us down there! Hold on tight to something!" I warned them. They both grabbed my waist and I flew fast down the halls, my wings flapping harshly.

We reached the gymnasium and saw wolf Steve cuddling around something, tears falling down his brown muzzle. I put the girls down and slowly approached Steve. My hand outreaches towards him, to tell him it's me. "Stevie, is everything ok? What did you find?" I asked him in a calm tone. He slowly lifted his head up and moved his tail, revealing the person we were looking for, Dustin Henderson. I softly laughed for joy, my eyes welling up with tears, the girls the same. "You found him! Is he...did he turn?" Nancy asked carefully. Steve whimpered, the tears starting up again, he nodded. It felt like my world came tumbling down, shit, they actually fucking did it. They turned Henderson into a monster, like me and Steve. "Can-can you tell what he is? Is he a vampire or a werewolf?" Robin asked cautiously. He shook his head, and gently poked me with his snout and then to himself. I stepped back in shock. "Both? How can you tell? Was he shifted in front of you?" I asked. Again he shook his head. He lifted his nose and sniffed, and then he whimpered again. I looked at Steve confused but I started to piece together what he was saying. So I tried to sniff the air too, to see if what Steve was smelling was true, and I wish he was wrong but he wasn't. The air around Dustin smelled like the werewolf smell and the vampire smell. He was definitely both.

"What do we do with him? He's unconscious, so does that mean he's trying to resist the transformation or what?" Robin asked curiously. I looked at the sleeping boy, his eyes closed and his hair covering his face, dried tears on his cheeks and dried blood on his chest. "Let's take him back to Steve's house, we can try to help him as best as we can for now, we don't know what to expect but we'll try to help him as much as possible." Nancy said. We all nodded and I helped Steve put Dustin on his back. After what felt like hours we made it back to the gate at lovers lake, well where it should be. As we were about to leave the upside down, I heard flapping in the distance, and the sound of feet pounding on the ground. I looked slowly into the horizon and saw a whole herd of monsters fast approaching. "Guys you might wanna jump through, cause there's a whole bunch of monsters heading our way!" I warned. They all looked over to me and stared in horror. "QUICK GET DUSTIN AND STEVE THROUGH! I'LL HOLD THEM OFF!" I shouted.

Steve ran up beside me and whimpered, I gently patted his head. "Steve just go through I'll be fine, get Dustin home and-." I started but was cut off by growling. A figure jumped from a wolfy steve and started to attack the monsters heading for us. In a flash it had wings like mine but a dark brown fur on the tops, then instantly became a wolf like Steve but much smaller, dark brown fur covered it, except for its hind legs and tail, which were smooth and black. It attacked until all the monsters were killed. After it's massacre, it was revealed to have two tails, one wolf tail and one long black one. It slowly turned its head towards us, pointed ears and a mouth full of razor sharp fangs. It had glowing eyes, one red and one yellow. All of us stared in shock, then tears fell like a river, Steve and I approached the figure. His cap was unmistakable. "D-Dustin?"
