Chapter 2: The Story

Chapter 2

The Story

Will's eyes roll back to the real world. He drops to his knees as soon as he notices his friends and relatives around them. Joyce is fast enough to catch him. "Will, Will," Joyce says. Mike goes down his knees to sit next to Joyce 'Will, Will, what happened? Are you okay?' 'I...I...don't know.' Will Lies. 'Was Vecna there, and if so, what did he say?' 'I'm not sure.' Will had fake tears pouring down his cheeks, but those weren't real tears.

Will is currently sitting up and surveying his surroundings. Only Mike, Hopper, and Eleven are seen. "Where are Jonathan and Nancy?" 'They were going to search for a Walkman to help you get out of that trance.' they said. Will feels a spine going trough the back of his neck. He gets up to observe the blood-red sky. 'Maybe it would be wise to return to the cabin because it would be safer there than it is here right now.' Hopper says. The hole group agrees and Will gives a small nod.

When they return to the cabin, Will is bombarded with questions.

What did you see?

Was Vecna there?

What did he want?

What did he say?

Will obviously didn't want to respond to all of their questions because if he revealed that he had spoken with him and had now joined his side, they would all attempt to kill him because he would no longer be the helper or the hero but the villain or the enemy.

"I promise I don't remember anything, it was just all dark and nothing there. I promise.' 'Will you can tell us the truth you know that right.' Says Joyce calm. 'I am. I want this to be over, so why wouldn't I tell you guys something?' After Will finished speaking, they all stopped and looked at him for a moment before separating into two groups. Eleven and Mike struck into a conversation. Will was just sitting there and wasn't going to reveal anything.

You need to get out of here

Will rises 'Did you hear that, guys?' 'Heard what, I didn't hear anything ?' Mike says.' 'Oh, I thought I heard something.'

I said get out of here Will

Now Will recognized the voice it was Vecn.. Henry. However, how did he talk to him while he wasn't in the upside down and couldn't see him?

Because of the part of me that is inside of you, I can communicate with you and remain alive even after your friends attacked me.

Now I need to show you something

'What the..?' Wonders Will.

Go to castle byers

Will was just floating through the air, so how would he explain to his "family" and "friends" that he would want to go outside for a walk right now.

They won't mind because they don't care about you.

'Really?' Will ponders. He might attempt it.

'I'm going to get some fresh air, guys.' claims Will. 'Okay.' Mike and Hopper respond, turning once more to their loved ones.

They didn't care.

Of course they didn't care.

Will pondered "Why do I need to go there, why does he want me there, and what does he want me to show" As he made his way to Castle Byers.
