Touch Of Death

End of the world.

"He, showed me things that haven't happened yet. The most awful things."I spike quietly, sitting in Max and Billy's living room, everyone gathered around watching my every move.

"I saw, a dark cloud spreading over Hawkins. Down town on fire. Dead soldiers. And this, giant creature, with a gaping mouth. And, this creature wasn't alone. There was so many monsters. An army, and there were coming into Hawkins, our neighborhood, our homes. And then, he showed me Tiffany, and James, and Matt, and they were all-"I cut myself, trying not to cry.

Everyone was quiet for a second, until Steve spoke up.

"Okay but, he's just trying to scare you Bea. Right? I mean, it's not real."

"Not yet. But, there was something else. He showed me gates, four gates. Spreading across Hawkins. These gates, they looked like the one outside Eddie's trailer."I paused, looking at Eddie seeing he was staring back, "these gates didn't stop growing. And this wasn't the upside down Hawkins. This was our Hawkins. Our home."

Billy rubbed his hand along my back, pulling me closer to him, I rested my head on his shoulder.

"Four chimes."Max spoke up, making us all look at her.

"Vecnas clock. It always chimes four tines. Four exactly."

"I heard them too."

"He's been telling us his plan the whole time."

"Four kills. Four gates. End of the world."Lucas spoke

"If that's true, he's only one kill away."Dustin said

"Oh Jesus christ Jesus christ!"Eddie started to throw a tantrum like usual.

"Try em again. Try em again."Steve said.

Max went over grabbing the phone, just to put it right back, "Same shit."

"How is this possible?"James groaned

"I told you Joyce has this telemarketer job, she's like always on the phone. Mike won't stop complaining about it."Dustin stated

"Yeah but this lines been busy what, three days now? That's not Joyce. No way. There's something wrong."Max shrugged

"She's right. It can't just be a coincidence. It can't be. Whatevers happening in Lenora is connected to all of this. I'm sure of it. But vecna can't hurt them. Not if he's dead."I said looking out the window, turning back to everyone, "we have to back in there. Back to the upside down."

"Whoa no no no no no."Steve denied immediately.

"Nope. Nope."Eddie waved his hand in front of his face.

"Not with what happened last time. Both of us got hurt. Killed, almost."Billy scoffed, him and Steve making their way towards me.

"Let's think this through."Steve said

"What is there to think through?"

"We barely made it out of their in one piece."

"Yeah because we weren't prepared. This time we will be. We'll have weapons, and protection. We'll go through the gate, find his lair, and kill him."I argued

"Yeah or he'll kill us!"Steve shouted, "the only reason you survived is because he wanted you to. He's not scared of us."

"And for a good reason. We were wrong about Vecna. Henry. One. Sorry, what are we calling him now?"Robin got up looking around.

"One."

"Vecna."

"One."

"Henry."
