Y/n, Steve, and Dustin shood outside in front of the celler doors. Dustin had trapped Dart down here, just a little before hr found Y/n and Steve for help. Steve held his bat in one hand, and a flashlight in another hand. Y/n just had her dads gun from last year, that was full of new bullets.

"I don't hear shit." Steve said after a long minute of waiting for some sort if confirmation that he was in there.

"He's in there."

"Are you sure, Dust?" Y/n questioned "Wouldn't we have heard something by now." She pointed out.

Steve glanced at Dustin, before tapping the doors with his bat. Still no sound. Steve looked over at Dustin, the flashlight pointing at his face.

"All right, listen kid. I swear, if this is some sort of Halloween prank, you're dead." Steve said annoyed, while Y/n pushed his hand with the flashlight down.

"It's not." Dustin said "It's not a prank."

"Steve, talk to Dustin like that again I might have to kill you." Y/n said

"Sorry, Y/n/n." Steve said sheepishly.

"You got the key for this?" Y/n asked, looking down at her smaller friend.

"Yeah." Dustin mumbled digging in his pockets, and pulling out a key.

Y/n took it from him, and bent down and unlocked the padlock to the celler. She threw the padlock to the side, and pulled open the two doors. Y/n took a step back, expecting something to jump out. But nothing happened, there wasn't even a sound.

"He must be further down there." Dustin said nervously "I'll, uh, I'll stay up here in case he tries to escape." He added.

"So, uh, Steve wanna come with or am I going alone?" Y/n asked pulling out the gun from the back, waistband of her jeans.

Steve looked at Y/n "No way I'm letting you go down there alone." He said gently moving her to the side, so he could walk down first.

"Don't die." Dustin said looking at Y/n.

Y/n rolled her eyes, and walked down a step behind him. When they got to the bottom of the steps, Steve aimed the light around. And still there was nothing. Y/n walked forward and pulled the chain, to the light hanging in the middle turning it on.

"Let there be light." Y/n said looking around the small space, not paying attention to the floor in front of her.

"Oh, nasty." Steve said walking next to her, and lifting something up. It made a wet squelching sound, and Steve's face scrunched up.

When Y/n looked over, she gagged and took a step away from him. He was holding up a large piece of, somewhat clear, and very slimy flesh with the nails of his bat. The slime dripped down onto the concrete floor, making a disgusting sound as it did. It definitely came from that creature, but how big was it now?

"Ew, Steve, put that shit down." Y/n gagged looking away from it, her eyes catching sight of a hole in the side of the celler. Her jaw dropped and her eyes went slightly wide "Oh god, it just got worse." She mumbled.

"What do you-oh shit." Steve mumbled when he also noticed the hole in the wall.

"Steve? Y/n?" Dustin called out from the top of the celler "Guys, what's going on down there?"

Y/n walked over to the stairs "Dust, you might wanna come down here." She said peaking at him from the bottom of the steps.

"Is it safe?" Dustin asked walking down the steps, stopping next to Y/n when he saw Steve "Oh, shit."
