"What is that?"

"There's something in there." Mike says as Eleven screams and sobs.

"Yeah, no shit, Wheeler!" (y/n) curses, Eleven's grip on her hand tightening by the second.

"Jesus Christ." Dustin mutters, watching the thing move round El's swollen leg.

"Keep her talking, keep her awake, okay?" Jonathan orders, running off.

Mike leans over her, "Hey, hey, hey. Stay awake, stay awake. Let's get her on this side, this side."

Steve, (y/n), and Nancy carefully moved Eleven like Mike suggested, as Eleven cried at the movement.

"You know, it's actually not that bad." Robin speaks up hesitantly, "There was a... the goalie on my soccer team, Beth Wildfire, this other girl slid into her leg and the bone came out of her knee, six inches, or something-"

"Robin." (y/n) cuts her off.

"Yeah?"

"Your not helping." Steve finishes.

"I'm sorry." Robin said, as Jonathan ran back over, getting onto the ground in front of Eleven, knife in hand.

"Okay. All right El," Jonathan spoke, "This is gonna hurt like hell, okay?"

"Okay." she sobbed in response.

"Need you to stay real still." Jonathan told her, "Here, you're gonna bite down on this, okay."

Jonathan handed (y/n) a wooden spoon, and she placed it into Elevens mouth.

"Jesus Christ."

Jonathan held the knife to Eleven's leg.

"Do it." Mike ordered.

"Okay." Jonathan let out a breath, leading the knife into El's leg.

Everyone shivered in disgust while Eleven screamed in pain.

"It's gonna be okay, you're going to be alright." (y/n) attempted to soothe Eleven, but really she was panicking herself.

Jonathan hesitatingly reaches into her leg, making the group flinch and Eleven sob harder.

"Jonathan!" Nancy exclaimed.

"Stop talking!"

Eleven gripped onto (y/n)'s hand so tight, (y/n) thought her hand would break as the girl continued to scream.

Eleven spit out the wooden spoon, "No, stop it! Stop! Stop!"

Jonathan quickly pulled his hand out of her leg, as she sobbed, "I can do it."

The group looked at each other, then at Eleven who had sat up with Mike and (y/n)'s help.

"I can do it." she repeated, reaching her hand over the wound.

As Eleven used her powers they could see whatever that was inside Eleven's leg moving, as she attempted to get it out.

Eleven was screaming, the glass behind the group breaking, and with one final scream, she lifted the thing out of her leg and threw it away from them.

The group watched the thing crawl away, but was soon stepped on. They all looked up to see Hopper and Joyce.

"Thank god."

"The Mind Flayer, it built this monster in Hawkins," Mike explained, "to stop El, to kill her and pave a way into our world."
