Hawkins Bites || A Vampire Eddie Fanfic

Chapter Twelve | Don't You (Forget About Me)

Dustin and Eddie steady stared at the ceiling, hearing the faint chittering coming from the bats that loomed outside the trailer. "I hope they can't- I don't know if I can face those bats again..." Eddie spoke, voice crackling under the pressure of maintaining the 'badass metalhead vampire' persona, "...but hey, Henderson. Third times the charm right?"

Dustin chuckled, "yeah..." The boy stepped closer to the opening, "...the scary ones come in fours. I read about it in an article"

Eddie laughed, "the one I begged you to read up on for our campaign? You finally read it?"

"Yeah! It was really interesting...how the number four carries a terrifying weight to it" Dustin chuckled, a crack breaking their side conversation as they snapped their heads back to the ceiling. A bat broke the cheap plastic, screeching at the two of them as they screamed back.

Wildly stabbing at the opening, they yelled out a battle cry as the two successfully got rid of the bat. Hearing a faint tapping sound from under their feet, Dustin looked over at Eddie as the vampire picked up a trashsheild and blocked the opening so no more bats could get in. "Holy shit-" Eddie panted, turning around as Dustin held up a hand.

"Nice"

"Thanks"

Max and Eleven shared a hug, exchanging stories of how they got here and what all happened in nervous, anxious rambles. "I don't know whats taking Lucas so long. I hope everything is okay up there- out there? I don't even know anymore-"

Eleven chuckled as she heard Vecna begin to groan back to life, her eyes hardened into stone as she turned to face the necrotic being and stood in front of Max to protect her. "You touch her again." Eleven nearly growled at Vecna, "I will kill you..." She spat with a venom she learned from Will, "...again"

Vecna sneered at her, going to reach a hand out to her as Eleven waved her hand before he could and sent him flying. Max watched, eyes wide like saucers as she attempted to use a folding chair against Vecna. The red head ran up, immediately getting sent flying as she collapsed against the bleachers. Vecna had had enough of their bullshit and lifted Eleven into the air, holding her there as he chuckled gutterally.

"You have lost."

"Not yet we haven't"

"Jason. Put the gun down."

"No."

"Fine." Lucas grimaced, as he grabbed Jasons arm and twisted it behind his back. Jason yelped but gained the upper hand as he jutted his hips back and sent Lucas rolling across the room. Lucas looked up at him, fear filled anger fueling his tongue as he spat, "I hate you"

Jason stepped over to the boy, sneering as his shoe fell on Maxs' walkman. Putting his full weight on the device, the crunch of the technology breaking matched that of Lucas' heart. His last line of defense to save his girlfriend-yeah! His. God damn. Girlfriend. Was now destroyed by the "town saviour". He felt the anger bubble in his veins, his vision going a deep crimson as he stood up. "I'm done fucking around, Carver."

Jason about giggled at the others display of intimidation, but soon stopped once a fist collided with his jaw. The sting spreading across his cheek as he seethed, "you shouldn't have done that, Sinclair."

"Well too late. Its been done, and I kinda wanna do it again" Lucas proceeded to do just that, fist Meeting Jasons face over and over as he pummeled the jock to the ground.

Steve and Robin looked at one another, a look of reassurance washing over their expression. Robin was the first to break the stare off, going to move but feeling a pressure wrap around her ankle. Looking down, her eyes widened at the sight of a tendril wrapping around her shin as she called out, "Steve-." Before she could attempt to get out, she was dragged back against the wall by the throat as another tendril snaked around her neck.
