-Flashback-
Blood runs down Alex head. She cries in pain looking around frightened she’s never been out when it's dark. She sees the hill she fell down but it's too steep to get back up, as she tries, she screams looking at her leg bending the wrong way. “oh god” she hears rustling she wants to run but she can’t her leg will get her nowhere. She covers her mouth trying to quieten her breathing and sobs, but it sniffed out her blood she screams and blacks out.
-End-
She walked around last night till she fell down exhausted. She wakes looking around noticing she was in the woods still but it's light out. She walks around not knowing where to go until she hears a sound that belongs to one thing, Demogorgon. She follows the sound seeing the creature stalking around behind the house that she saw last night. Pissed she walks up to it hitting it in the arm. The monster opens its mouth screeching at her, but she shows no fear. She talks to them as they talk to her through the mind.
*YOU STOLE MY MEAL* she screamed to the Demogorgon.
*first come first serve now go off and eat a deer*
*I DID BECAUSE YOU STOLE MY MEAL* they both hear footsteps. A girl Alex’s age appears, and she sees both Alex and the monster. The Demogorgon screeches at the random girl. Alex stands between the monster and the girl *leave*
*you owe me* the monster runs off as the girl stood in fear
“what was that” the girl cries. Alex begins walking off when the girl grabs her wrist, she turns and sees the girl. “thanks for that uh how did you do that?” Alex shrugs. “I’m Nancy what’s your name?” she questions. Alex pulls her arm away and walks off, but Nancy follows. “did that thing take Barb?” Alex turns to look at the girl and sighs then nods. Nancy puts her hands over her mouth and sobs. “is she ok?” Alex again shrugs. “where did it take her?” Alex groans becoming annoyed by the questions and walks to the girl putting her own finger to Nancys mouth.
They walk to Nancys car. She turns to Alex giving her a good look over only now noticing the blood. “are you hurt you're covered in blood” Alex shakes her head. “come with me?” Nancy questions giving a soft smile. Alex looks to the forest then to Nancys car thinking about it but shakes her head no then walks off leaving Nancy alone.
Alex walks till she bumps into the Byer house. She sighs about to turn around when she notices lights flickering. She runs over to the house knowing it's bad. Alex kicks the door open and sees Joyce standing by lights that spelled the alphabet. The lights light up to spell RUN just as a Demogorgon comes through the wall. Joyce screams and runs out the house.
*NO NOT HER* Alex yells to the creature. Joyce notices Alex didn’t follow.
“ALICIA!” she screams and runs back in. Joyce stops looking at the monster and Alex. The monster screeches at Joyce but Alex smacks the monster.
*I WILL TEAR YOU APPART* the monster growled
*you can’t though he disapproves, and you know that now leave!* Alex stands her ground staring at the Demogorgon. The monster runs past Joyce and into the woods. Joyce falls to her knees crying hands covering her eyes. Before Alex walks over Jonathan walks in.
“Mom? Alicia? What happened? Are you okay? Mom?” He drops to his knees next to his mom then pulls his mom in as she cries into his shoulder.
