[You're alive!]

Vampire Eddie(top)
Human Steve(bottom)

Steve's pov-

I wake up and shuffle in my sleep. My nightmares had gotten worse since Eddie died. I wasn't there to help him. I wasn't there to save him. A tear drops down my cheek as I get up and look at the time. 2am. I make my way down to the kitchen and get myself a glass of cold water.
It's been like this every night. I get maybe 1 hour of sleep before I see his face. His pleading cries running through my ears. I never got to tell him how much he meant to me. I hug the vest he always used to wear and slide down the wall. I let my head fall on the arche of my knees and I can feel the tears pour out of my eyes. I let out a shaky breath and decide to go on a walk. I can't keep doing this, I tell myself and I chew at the inside of my cheek.

Putting on a t-shirt and his vest I get up and go outside. Walking around in the woods. It smells like cedar trees and burning wood. I walk to the edge of the upside downs canyon and sit. The burning smell was the only thing what reminded me of him. The only scent I could find that matched his and I loved to be near it. Taking a whiff of the addicting scent I hear something. A deer, but it sounds like it's I'm distress. Screaming and making the most absurd noises.

I get up quickly and make my way to the noise, I find it. Not even 10 minutes from where i had been, a deer carcass lay dead. It's body was shriveled and as I touch it there's no heat. That's weird even if it's dead, it had to have just died. A cracking noise comes from behind me and i turn as quickly as I could. Nothing. Something was stalking me and I had nothing to protect myself. I lay out the options I had in this situation and decide that running was the only possible way I might make it out alive. If it's something from the upside down I'm screwed. Though there was no sign of the upside down near that deer.

I stand up from where I was crouched and look around once again before I make a break for it. Running through the trees and stepping on all the leaves, I knew I was making too much noise but if I could get home before whatever was out there got me, I'd be somewhat safe. As I near my Cabin I trip on the stub of a tree and groan loudly. That's not good for my case. I try getting up but just as I sit myself up against the stub I get pinned down and onto the ground. Closing my eyes tightly I knew what was coming. It was only a matter of time before I met my end and that was now. Im okay with that though. "STEVE!" I hear the creature yell out and I open my eyes.

"EDDIE!!" I say hugging him brutally tight. "You're.. You're alive?" I get out of my trembling mouth. The tears rush down my face like they had a place they needed to go and he continues to hug me. "I wouldn't say alive but I'm here." I furrow my brows in confusion and quit hugging him. "What do you mean Eds?" I ask and his face goes cold. "Well when I woke up I was still in the upside down. I don't know how long It had been but I wondered around for a while. I didn't know where to go. The gates we came through had been closed. 3 days ago I came across this giant gate. I followed it out of curiosity and it goes all throughout hawkins." He says and I nod. We already knew about the gate. It was more like a canyon to everyone who didn't know what it was and everyone stayed clear of it. "When I climbed through the gate I saw a rabbit and I don't know. Something clicked in me. I ate it." A look if disgust crosses my face and his changes to worry "Well its more like sucking its blood out, they change when I do it though. Every animal has come back to life after just... different" I giggle at my thoughts and let out a snort as I tell him " So you're a vampire now" He rolls his eyes at me "basically."

I take him to my Cabin, hand in hand. As we arrive he squints his eyes. "Aren't your lights a little bright?" He asks and I grin. He's only playing into the vampire thing more and I love it.
"You take vampires to your house often? What if I bite you huh?" He asks and my body shudders at the thought of him biting into my neck, his hands traveling down my body- Anyways. "Surprisingly you're the first Vampire Mister Munson." I say and he smiles knowing already that he was. We go inside and sit down on my couch. I turn down the lighting so it's not so harsh on him and his eyes adjust. Thinking to myself I decide to tell him how I feel about him. I can't lose him again without him knowing. I take a deep breath and grab ahold of both his hands. "There's something I have to tell you Eddie." I say my heart racing.
"What is it Stevie?" He asks and looks me in the eyes and it's like he's staring through me. "I'm in love with you Eddie."
