We start making our way back through the dark, Steve's jacket still resting on my shoulders
"You're positive that it was Dart?"Lucas asks
"Yes. He had the same exact yellow pattern on his butt."Dustin replies
"He was tiny two days ago."Max points out
"Well, he's moulted three times already."Dustin responds
"Malted? "Steve inquires
"Moulted. Shed his skin to make room for growth like hornworms."Dustin explained to Steve
"When's he gonna moult again?"Max asks
"It's gotta be soon"I say
"When he does, he'll be fully grown, or close to it. And so will his friends."Dustin explains
"Yeah, and he's gonna eat a lot more than just cats."Steve says
"Wait, a cat? - Dart ate a cat?"Lucas says
"No, what? No."Dustin denys
"What are you talking about? He ate Mews."Steve reveals
"Mews? Who's Mews? "Max asks, confused
"It's Dustin's cat."Steve says, obviously
"Steve!"Dustin groans
" I knew it! You kept him!"Lucas
No! No.No, I No, I He missed me. He wanted to come home."Dustin rants
"Bullshit!"Lucas exclaims
" I didn't know he was a Demogorgon, Okay?"Dustin admits
" Oh, so now you admit it?"Lucas argues
"Guys, who cares? We have to go."Max says softly
"I care! You put the party in jeopardy! You broke the rule of law!"Lucas continues
" So did you"Dustin accused
" What?"Lucas says
You told a stranger the truth!"Dustin tells him
" A stranger?"Max scoffs
" You wanted to tell her, too!"Lucas says
" But I didn't, Lucas, okay? I didn't tell her! We both broke the rule of law, okay? So we're even.We're even."Dustin says, trying to end it
"No, no! We're not even. Don't even try that.Your stupid pet could have ate us for dinner!"Lucas continues, I heard screeching in the background
"That was not my fault!"Dustin yells
" Guys?"Steve says, trying to get the 3's attention
" He wasn't gonna eat us."Dustin carries on
"He was crawling to come say hello?"Lucas says, sarcastically
" Guys!" Steve yells, getting the 3's attention
"No, no, no.Hey, guys, why are you headed towards the sound?"Max says, as we all rush in the direction
"Hello? Hello?"Max yells.
We walk through the forestry area after Steve, the kids behind us. We stop
" I don't see him".Dustin says, pointing his flashlight around
"It's the lab."Lucas says, after pulling out his binoculars
"They were going back home,"Lucas continued. We continued walking until we reached the lab and waited out the front
"Guys?"Max says, making our attention turn to her. A whole bunch of cars, came past, a police car stopped
"Let's go"Hopper says, we all rush to get into the car
"Come on let's go"
We went back to the Byers, Will was passed out. I was pacing around, I was worried about my parents, who were sitting at home. Joyce came up to me noticing me to be in this trance, she looks to my eyeline and see's Steve
"Danielle honey, you alright"She asks
"I fall for people, who may not have any intention of staying"I whisper
"Oh don't think like that"Joyce starts
"This is senior year, how am I supposed to know if he will actually stay"I ask, Joyce looks down
"Wait Hopper"I say gaining his attention after getting off the phone
"My dad went with you, didn't he? Where is he?"I ask, I was hoping he just went home early.
"Kid, I'm sorry, they got him"He tells me, tears welled up in my eyes. I felt arms around and Steve's scent filled my nose. I held him closer as I cried into his shoulder about the loss of my father. He kept me close to him, I slowly let go and went into the bathroom to wash my face. I then go out and get told a plan, I help them along with it. In the shed putting up stuff over the top so he doesn't know where he is, the boys explained hive mind to me. Jonathan carried Will out, put him onto a chair and tied him to it. I felt bad about doing so but it had to be done, we plug in lights and stuff. I go inside, and stand around waiting.
I see Steve in a room by himself swinging the bat around. I was inside because I think it'll be better if there were less people in there with him. The lights flicker, we all look outside until they stop.
