MADELYN POV
"Um guys? Where are you?" I call out, looking at my new surroundings. "Hello?? Where did you guys go??"
The last thing I remember is making it to Eddie's trailer in the Upside Down, and having watched everyone else go through the gate.
"Guys, seriously, come on. This really isn't funny." I say, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Steve? Eddie? Robin? Nancy? Alora? Hello, is anyone there?"
I start jogging down the various hallways, trying to find a way out of this building that I woke up in.
After a while of trying various doors, I finally manage to find one that's unlocked.
I shove the door open, freezing when I see a little boy in a chair, an older man holding a tattoo gun to his wrist.
What the hell?
"See? That wasn't so bad, was it?" The man asks the young boy, who stays silent. "See, there's nothing to be afraid of. Is there Madelyn?"
My blood runs cold at the sound of the older man saying my name, my body freezing out of fear.
"How do you know my name?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper.
"Why don't you take a seat?" The man's voice suddenly changes to something sinister, and that's when I decide to run.
I shove the door to the room back open and running down the hallway, making sure to take various turns so I can't be tracked as easily.
As I'm running around, I eventually find a set of double doors that are boarded up, jogging over and starting to yank away the rotting wood.
Shivers start to run down my spine, and I can tell that someone (or something) is watching me.
"Arabella."
I spin around, seeing a humanoid like creature making its way towards me.
Holy shit, that must be Vecna.
"What the fuck?!" I yell, my eyes wide with fear.
"What are you doing?" Vecna asks, his voice low and gravelly sounding. "It's not time for you to leave."
I turn around and start yanking on the wooden birds again, but they aren't budging.
"Goddamn it!" I let out a scream of frustration, my eyes starting to glow a soft red as I'm finally able to yank away one of the wooden boards.
"Now you've seen where I've been." Vecna says, and I just shake my head.
"I don't care, just leave me alone!" I yell, my hands starting to shake. "I didn't do anything, just leave me and my friends alone! We didn't do anything to you!"
