Steve collapsed, his face was pale. I rushed forward and knelt beside him while my friends tried to fend of the rest of the bats.

He was losing blood. A lot. His grip on his bat slackened and it fell from his grasp, rolling to the side.

"Steve no no no. You're gonna- you're gonna be okay." I pleaded.

He nodded slightly.

Mike knelt beside me. "Oh god, what do we do? Dustin what do we do!?"

I felt tears welling up. "I have no idea." I whispered.

Mike's face was horrified. I always knew what to do, always. But this was just too much. We were losing too badly for anything we did to make an impact.

We'd lost our friends and family, our homes, and Vecna was still as strong as ever. It would take a miracle to save us all now.

I brushed a tear away from Steve's face. "I'm sorry."

He reached for my hand and I let him hold it. He rubbed his thumb over the back of my hand.

"It's o- okay. Im proud of y-you." he stuttered.

One of my tears fell down my face and landed on the ground by his head.

Steve pressed my hand against his cheek. "I love you buddy."

His face went slack and he lost his grip on my hand.

"I love you too."

His death brought an odd calm to the air and I stood up, grabbing his bat.

Erica glanced back at me and saw Steve laying motionless. Her face crumbled and I walked over to her, holding her close.

"Don't worry E. We'll end him. We'll end him for Steve and Eddie and everyone else. He's gonna pay."

Dustin Angst has quickly become one of my favorite things to write and you're all gonna pay for that.

I have Dustin angst prepped in another book but you'll have to wait for that 🤭

Love y'all!!
