She's mine

30

When I woke up Billy wasn't in bed anymore. I looked around but he wasn't in the bedroom at all. After a few eye rubs and a long yawn I got up from bed. I grabbed a pair of my shorts and a shirt of Billy's tossing the clothes on.

I ran my fingers through my bed hair and I opened the bedroom door, only to stop in my tracks. I could see everyone was over. Like literally everyone.

El, Mike, dustin, Eddie, Nancy, Steve, lucas, Erica, Gareth, robin even hopper.

"Morning baby."

I looked away from the group looking at Billy. "Why is everyone here?" I asked him in a small voice confused.

No one said anything but Billy stood up and sighed as he ran his hand through his hair. "Don't be mad, but I want El to tap into your memories."

I looked at Billy shaking my head. "No. Absolutely not."

Billy closed the distance and looked at me. "Yes. I need to know what happened in order to keep you safe baby. Your doing it."

I looked at Billy with my tightened jaw but not saying anything else to him. Instead I focused on Steve.

"Steve? Please don't make me do this. Please."

I had tears in my eyes as I looked at Steve who didn't say anything. He did however have a sad expression on his face.

"Steve is on my side."

I looked at Billy and snorted. "Please don't make me do this. I don't want to do this. Please."

Billy looked at me wiping my tears away. "You can do this. I'm right here. Please do this for me. I need to know what happened."

I looked at Billy shaking my head when el finally took a step forward. "It doesn't hurt. I promise Nat. You just hold my hands and close your eyes relaxing. I can do everything else."

I looked at el taking a deep breath. Honestly I'm not sure why I agreed to it. Maybe for the fact that if I could show them I didn't have to tell them. Maybe it was that I wanted someone else to carry what I had been carrying. Im not sure, but by the end of it I agreed to do it.

I walked over sitting down rolling my neck. El looked at me as she slightly nodded her head. After she grabbed a bandana and turned the television onto the static channel she sat down. She sat down directly in front of me.

"Just close your eyes, relax and focus on what you want me to see."

I looked at el nodding my head and I took a deep breath. El covered her eyes with the bandana and after a few long moments passed I grabbed her hands closing my eyes.

I was inside my own head in a way. I was sorrounded by complete darkness as I stood still looking around me. I could see el walking towards me but I didn't move. When el finally reached me she stood directly in front of me. Neither one of us said anything to the other. I couldn't hear the static on the tv anymore. All I could hear was silence.

El grabbed my hand as we were sorrounded by complete darkness and she dropped forward taking me with her. I could see myself falling and I could feel myself falling but not being able to stop the fall. That's when el and I both landed in my old house.

It's like we were watching what was happening and no one could see us. We were standing silently in the corner of the room as I slipped underneath of the bed. A few soconds later my mom ran into the room slamming the door shut.

"Mom." I said in a quiet voice as I tried taking a step forward. She was about to die and I knew it.

"WHERE IS SHE?" I could hear Kai's yells on the other side of the door. My mom was trying to keep him out.
