Two Hearts (Joyce Byers x Fem Reader)

Supernatural

While walking outside of the Byers residence, you begin to nibble on a sandwich Joyce had made you although you protested.

Just then, you hear a mumbling scream coming from inside of the house.

You know Joyce is the only one home right now as Jonathan is at work.

You rush into the house, "Joyce?! Joyce?".

Finally, you see her, standing, terrified in her living room.

You look where she's staring.

There looks to be a sort of giant animal crawling through the wallpaper around you.

"What the hell..?" you mutter.

You watch in horror as something you have never seen before rips through the wall.

It has a star shaped head with teeth on it.

It's terrifying and it's heading straight for Joyce.

Without hesitation, you run in front of her, pulling your gun out of it's holster on your belt.

You shoot the monster as you yell, "Run, Joyce!!! Run!".

She hesitates, "B-But -!".

"RUN!" you scream.

After a few reluctant seconds, she turns around, rushing out of the house.

You continue to empty bullets into the unknown monster crawling out from Joyce's wallpaper.

You ignore the fact that this should be far beyond impossible.

But the shots seem to not affect the creature one bit.

You hold back panic just as they taught you in the police academy.

But as you begin to reload the gun, the monster pounces on you.

You fall to the ground with it on top of your chest, growling loudly.

You grab your taser from your belt while shooting the thing with your remaining bullets before thrusting the taser into the monster's gaping hole of a mouth.

But after a few seconds of it being shell-shocked, it returns to attempting to eat you alive.

It's sharp teeth-covered leaf-like head approaches your face.

"Not today motherfucker!! Get the hell off of her!!" you hear Joyce scream.

Then, the monster is thrust off of you as Joyce tackles it down to the ground.

She punches the monster aggressively while she screams with the pain of a mother who lost her child, "You took my Will away from me!!! GO TO HELL!!".

You quickly reload your pistol before thrusting it's muzzle into the thing's mouth and shooting as much as you can.

After a few more shots, it stops moving beneath Joyce.

You shoot the rest of your bullets into the monster to make sure it's dead.

She stands up on shaky feet.

"What in the hell was that?" you ask, guestering to the humanoid flower-shaped monster on the floor.

"Will's friends call it a demogorgon." she breathes.

"T-Thank you for saving me, Ms.Byers. That was very brave of you." you say.

She nods, "You saved me first.".

"Now, come on, lets get you cleaned up and we'll go and make sure what we just saw was real." you say before gently grasping her arm, leading her into the bathroom.

You run the water over her monster bloodstained hands, taking one of your spare handkerchiefs and rubbing her hands with it to clean off the remaining clumps of blood on her.

And once the most of it is washed off in the sink,  you turn the water back off before helping her dry her hands.

"I would call this in to the station immediately but, I'm just a rookie so I don't have a walkie and I don't want to leave you alone here, especially after that whole...ordeal." you tell her, gently grasping her shoulders.

"But let me tell you about all of this." she begins, "First, it started with the calls. My phone would ring and my boy, Will...he was on the other side. He was talking to me. He was in trouble and then my phone blew up right there. I've been hearing him inside of the walls and seeing those demogorgons. This is the second time they're materialized like that. Just please...tell me you believe me...please..." she begs.

You nod, "Of course. I believe you, Joyce.".

"And please don't tell anyone else. Too many people already think I've gone mental. Only tell if it'll help us find Will." she says.

You nod again, "100%, you can trust me. This is only between us.".

You can see tears forming in her eyes as she looks up at you.

As one of them begins to fall, you quickly wipe it away.

Her eyes widen, "T...Thank you...I appreciate all that you've done for us... just please stick around until we find out what really happened to my baby.".

You place a hand on her shoulder, "I'm not gonna leave you, Joyce. Not now.".
