The Only Girl for Me~ Eleven x Reader

A New Promise

Dustin's POV

"Papa." Twelve whispered. Her breathing quickened and tears started slipping down her cheeks. She looked at me, fear in her eyes. Twelve stood up and backed away from me. "Don't take me back!" She sobbed. "What?" I asked,

"Not going back!" She screamed. A glass vase that stood on a coffee table begun to crack. "Shit." I whispered. "Twelve... I'm not taking you anywhere." I said taking a step towards her. She took another step back. I could see blood about to drip down from Twelve's nose. "Back..." Twelve said threateningly. The cracks on the vase were getting bigger. "Twelve. I promise I'm not going to hurt you! I'm your friend." I say. "Promise?" Twelve asked. "Its something that you never, ever, break." I explain.

Twelve's breathing begun slowing down. "How do you know about Papa?" She asked menacingly, but a little calmer. I sighed. "Let me tell you a little story." I say, gesturing for her to sit back down on the couch. Reluctantly, she did. I sat down beside her. 

"So... last year, back in the fall, my friend Will went missing. When my other friends and went looking for Will, we found a girl. She looked just like you. She came from a lab, not that far from here. And at that lab, there was a man named Dr Brenner. All the children at the lab called him Papa. And all the kids there had super powers." I said. "That girls name was-"

"Eleven." Twelve said.

I looked surprised. "You know her?" I asked. Twelve smiled sadly. "Best friend." She whispered. "Have you seen her lately? Was she with you... wherever you were?" I ask. "No." Twelve replied. "Oh... Twelve, this might be hard for you but... she disappeared last year. We think she might be dead..." I say.

The young girls face didn't change much, but you could see the tears in her eyes. "I know." She whispered hoarsely. "I'm sorry..." I say. It hurt me too. El was a good friend. "At least she can't be hurt anymore." I say. Twelve nodded.

There was a sudden knock at the door. "Henderson! We gonna do this or what?" Someone called. I immediately recognized the voice. It was Steve. I looked at Twelve, who looked very alarmed.

"Its okay." I assure her. "Its just a friend of mine. He can be your too. He's going to help, okay?" I say. Twelve looks confused. "Help what?" She asked. "I'll explain on the way. But first, I need you to promise me you'll stay with me." I tell her. Twelve is quiet for a moment. "Promise." She finally says.
