A Light in the Dark| Steve Harrington x FEM!OC

Papa

Jade watched as Dr. Brenner tattooed the young boy as he sat strapped to the chair. The boy flinched in pain, closed his eyes not looking at his wrist. Dr. Brenner placed the tattoo machine down and wiped away the access ink, left on the tattoo. The tattoo reading 001.

Jade watched in confusion. Why was Vecna making her see this? What could he possibly want from her? She had never seen this boy in her life, why was his story being told? What could this boy possibly mean to her?

"All done." Dr. Brenner said as the young boy opened his eyes and looked down at his wrist. "Not so bad, was it? See? There's nothing to be afraid of. Is there, Jade?" Dr. Brenner asked as he turned to Jade, she felt her body freeze. She was terrified, his eyes were the same grayish white she saw earlier on her siblings and mother.

"Why don't you take a seat?" Dr. Brenner said, his voice deep and distorted.

Jade looked at him in fear, she immediately ran for the door. She swung the door open. When she entered the hallway she noticed she was in a children's hospital. Blood and dead bodies of children covered the hallways along with flickering lights and screams of horrified children.

She looked down the hallway in fear turning back and going a different way. As Jade ran through the hospital, on the other side was everyone else trying to snap her out of it.

Steve cupped her face and shook her slightly. "Jade, just stay with me. Okay? Stay with me!" He said as he held her, he looked up through the gate yelling at the others. "Whatever you guys are doing, hurry up!"

Erica ran to the others. "Steve said you guys need to hurry!"

"Yeah? No shit!" Dustin shouted.

"We're trying we can't find anything!" Max shouted.

Erica ran back to Steve. "They can't find jack shit."

"Seriously!? Does he at least have...uh, God damn it what was that song called...Metal Health! Quiet Riot! Does Eddie have Metal Health?"

Erica ran back with the rest of them. "Metal Health. Steve wants to know if you have Metal Health?"

"Seriously? That song is like four years old, we'll be looking hours for that tape."

"Seriously, Eddie? What is all this shit?!" Robin shouted at Eddie with a hand full of tapes.

"You're telling me she doesn't listen to any other metal?!" Eddie asked.

"She does but you don't have her favorite!" Robin shot back.

"How is that my fault! What's her other favorite!?"

"Her favorite song is- is-...I don't know, some song Steve gave her like two years ago!"

"Then what are we looking for?!"

"Talking Heads, The Smiths, Tears for Fears? The Cure? The Clash? Music! We need music!"

Eddie grabbed one of the tapes from Robins hand. "This is music!"

Jade continued to rush through the hospital, trying to find her way out. Jade came to a dead end, the door was bolted with wooden slabs covering the front.

She immediately started to grab the wooden pieces, pulling them with all her strength. "Come on you...son of a bitch." She grunted as she tried to tear down the wood. She finally pulled one off, feeling hopeful.

"Jade."

She heard from behind her, freezing at the spine chilling voice again. She slowly turned around and saw a figure walking towards her. The figure was tall almost like a man, his body was covered in vines, his face was distorted and burned. Vecna. Jade thought.
