I had arrived to school safely, Jesse let me stay home for today but he didn't speak to me.

Something must've really pissed him off but I don't know what. I heard the front door open and then close.

I heard my supercomm go off and that's what alerted me, I grabbed it and once I grabbed it I spoke into it.

"Hello? who's this? over." I said, "It's me. mike. If I show you this you promise not to tell, okay? come asap. over and out." Mike finished before cutting off his supercomm. I was extremely confused but went ahead with it anyways.

———

"Okay, why'd you call me ove-"

Before I could even finish mike grabbed me by the arm and and dragged me inside the house.

There I saw a girl and a boy, his hair was shaved and so was hers- what the hell was going on here? Did Mike have secret siblings I didn't know about or am I just that stupid?

"Guys, this is my friend (Y/n), (Y/n) this is El and twelve." Mike introduced, I waved my hand at them and they both waved back.

The boy kept his eyes on me though, it was like he was stargazing or something.

"Erm- it's nice to meet you both." I said in a awkward tone, I gave mike a look and he just shrugged.

"They both look like they're lost. Mike who exactly are they and where exactly did they come from?" I asked, Mike sighed, "Bad men." Mike replied, what? that wasn't even an answer.

"Mike if you don't give me a straight answer right now I'm going to the police and I'm telling you're mom." I told him, Mike eyes widen and he shook his head, "No, No! Don't do that. we could get in trouble. by the government and military." He warned, what? military? Seriously?

"Military? are you being serious right now mike? we don't even know them. what did Lucas say about this? we don't need more problems than we already have and we're searching for will. not them." I stated.

"No. we can't. this is top secret." Mike said in a low whisper, this is all just ridiculous.

And I didn't believe a single word he said cause it sounded so stupid, "What? What's so top secret about this? two randoms in you're house and absolutely tricking your mind into thinking whatever they want!" I whisper yelled, he just shook his head.

"No! Just stay around and you'll see why. they'll explain. and the others will meet up with us." so the Dustin and Lucas already knew about these two weirdos? Great.

"They both know about will." Mike said, making me stop in my tracks, will? they knew where he was? were those two weirdos just saying that so they could have a place to stay?

I turned to him, "it's funny to joke about something else, but will missing isn't something to joke about!" I yelled, mike sighed cause he knew I wouldn't give in so easily.

"Just stay with us." Mike told me, well, I had no choice but to. This was outrageous.

It was later that night where we were in mikes basement watching as these two weirdos did there magic thingy.

"El?" Mike said, I looked at Eleven and she still had her eyes closed, "Superpowers." I heard Dustin say, I rolled my eyes at him and shook my head in disapproval.

"Did you see him? on Mirkwood? Do you know where he is?" Mike asked, I crossed my arms and leaned back in my seat, the boy, ''tweleve'' looked at me. I didn't look at him as I watched El.

El knocked all of the chess pieces down to the ground and flipped the board over, the hell was she doing?

Then she grabbed a chess piece and placed it down to the board, "I don't understand." I said and looked at El.

"Hiding." El said, "Will is hiding?" Mike asked, El nodded in answer.

"From the bad men?" Mike asked, she shook her head, I felt a shiver run down my spine, for some reason something didn't feel right.

"Then from who?" I asked, El looked at me, she placed another figure in front of the wizard one, it was the demogorgon.

I looked over at twelve and he just stared down at the board with the same look El had on her face.
