HAND IN hand, Steve and I walked in front of the kids as we followed the path the Demogorgon took. After a few minutes, I let go of his hand and held onto my axe that was resting on top of my shoulder. I noticed him look at me when I did so, but I tried my best to avoid his gaze. Instead, I focused on the chatter behind me and the rustling of the trees.
"You're positive that was Dart?" Lucas asks.
"Yes. He had the same exact yellow pattern on his butt." Dustin answers, quickening his pace to squish himself between Steve and I.
"He was tiny two days ago." Max says.
"Well, he's molted three times already." Dustin says.
"Malted?" Steve asks.
"Molted." Dustin corrects.
I look over at Steve.
"It means he shed his skin so he can grow more, pretty much." I say.
He smiles at me and then Dustin speaks again.
"Like hornworms." Dustin adds.
"When's he gonna molt again?" Max asks.
"It's gotta be soon." Dustin says, "When he does, he'll be fully grown, or close to it. And so will his friends."
"Like the Demogorgon we fought at the Byers' place." I say.
"Yeah," Steve says, "And he's gonna eat a lot more than just cats."
"Wait," Lucas walks in front of Dustin and we all stop, "A cat? Dart ate a cat?"
"No, what? No." Dustin says.
"What are you talking about?" Steve says, "He ate Mews."
Dustin opens his mouth and looks at Steve.
"Mews? Who's Mews?" Max asks, looking at me.
"It's Dustin's cat." I say.
"(Y/N)! Steve!" He scolds us.
"I knew it! You kept him!" Lucas yells.
"No!" Dustin defends, "No, I... He missed me. He wanted to come home."
"Bullshit!" Lucas says.
"I didn't know he was a Demogorgon, okay?" Dustin defends.
"Oh, so now you admit it." Lucas argues.
"Guys, who cares? We have to go." Max says.
Suddenly, I hear something coming from the woods. It almost sounded like a screeching noise.
"I care! You put the party in jeopardy! You broke the rule of law!" Lucas continues to argue.
"Guys?" I say trying to get their attention, but only Steve looks over at me.
"So did you!" Dustin yells back at Lucas.
