"RED EYES"

<•—•> Samantha ran as fast as she could, racing the light outside. She made it to her house before the sun had set, but just in case the boys had come over, she checked the garage for their bikes. Luckily, they weren't there. She ran to her room, not bothering to look for Steve or anything else. She used the telephone and dialed a number.

"Hello?" Mrs. Wheeler's voice rang out.

"Hey, Mrs. Wheeler. It's Sam. Um, can you make sure not to tell Mike I called? I don't want him to know. Also, can I speak with Nancy?" Sam asked.

"Um, of course, Sa-sweetie. I'll get her right away." Mrs. Wheeler answered.

"Thank you." Sam sighed in relief.

"Sam?" Nancy whispered a minute later.

"Hey, Nance. Can you please pick me up from my house? I'm too scared to leave alone and I didn't know who else to ask." Sam questioned.

"Um, sure. I'll ask Johnathan to get you." Nancy offered.

"Thank you so much. And please tell him to hurry." Samantha sighed before ending the call.

A few minutes later a honk was heard from outside. She looked to find Johnathan and Nancy in the driveway. She rushed downstairs and ran to the car, opening the back door and sliding in.

"Hi." She said. "I need to tell you both something and it's gonna sound ridiculous and I'm gonna sound insane but I promise you guys I'm telling the truth." She took a deep breath as she looked at the two.

"Okay?" The two questioned.

"Y'know when I told you that Barb had-had um died," Sam said.

"Yeah." Nancy nodded.

"Well, I know what killed her. I saw it before, with Will. He was taken by it but he wasn't killed. It's called a Demogorgon." She told them.

"Yeah. We know." Nancy nodded.

"Look, I know how it sounds crazy but I'm not lying. It has a body that looks human but its face—"

"Is like a demonic flower." Nancy nodded again. "We know."

"Wait, but how... When did you... How did you... I'm sorry, I'm so confused." Sam spluttered.

"Yesterday, I saw it. We went to look for Barb and I found an opening to this—this horrible place." Nancy explained.

"Wait. You found a gate?" Samantha asked.
