Touch Of Death

No one touches my baby!

"What? Okay, I'll be right there."I hung up the phone, throwing it on the chair, pulling my jacket on.

"Where are you going?"Billy came over to me, the other two staying by Max.

"Joyce called, apparently all of this was a distraction to get Mattie, there's apparently a Demogorgan at Hops and Joyce's place, they caught it in the room Mattie was taking a nap in, in the process of picking her up, stay here with him, I love you, be safe."I explained everything whike finding my keys

"Make sure my mom's okay,"Jonathan stood up, I nodded, Billy walked me out to the car.

"Protect our girl, and you stay safe too, okay? I'll watch over him."he held my head.

I nodded, kissing him quickly, "I will, you keep yourself safe, quit worrying about everyone else's safety and worry for your own too, I can't loose anyone else.

""Hop? Joyce?"I whispered, sneaking through the house, I yelped when someone yanked me into a room, I looked up seeing the two, Joyce holding Mattie.

"Where is it?"

"It was in the bathroom last I checked, did you bring any weapons?"

"Did I bring any weapons, pfft, do you know who I am?"I scoffed, pulling the two guns out from my back pockets, and pulling the giant kitchen knife out of my boot.

"Oh, okay. Good. I have a bat, with nails, and a couple shotguns."he pointed to the bed, when I looked at the bat I thought of when Steve had a bat like that, back in the good old days. Before the kids, before Billy and I became official, when I still had Matt, and my parents.

We app flinched, Hop covering us when something banged against the door, roaring.

"Oh my god I forgot how terrifying these things are."I put my head down.

Suddenly the home phone started ringing, from the living room, the banging on the door stopped, and loud footsteps faded away.

"How the hell are you gonna get out there?"Joyce asked, I looked at Hop, than at the window.

"Thinking what I'm thinking kid?"

"Hell yes I am."

******

"Hey freak!"I yelled, banging the bat on the wall, causing the monster to look at me.

I glanced at Hop, than kept my gaze on the creature, it was complete silence. Until a loud car engine pulled up, Hop was still hid, trying to figure out who it was, I kept the thing distracted, it wouldn't pounce though, I have no idea what was taking so long.

I heard a faint song start to play, one of my favorite songs, by Ozzy at least, then, the front door was kicked open, and there stood Billy and Steve, Billy was holding a shotgun on his shoulder, and Steve held a speaker that was playing the song.

The Demogorgan turned to face them, finally roaring, his mouth flying open, Hop ran out when it launched at the two, I made eye contact with Steve, he tossed me the speaker when we had a clear path and I threw him the bat with nails in it, I set the speaker in a safe place, saying the words in my head while I got Hops attention to throw me a gun, which he did.

We all started to take action, Billy's shotgun ended up getting confiscated and destroyed, which made him be pretty pissed and disappear.

"No one touches my baby!"Billy came running past me, a blow torch in hand, he had a can of some spray, he held the can up along with the fire, he started squirting the spray on the monster while lighting the torch, causing the monster to start squealing, and catch fire.

When Billy was satisfied, he dropped his weapons, grabbed me and backed us up next to Hop and Steve.

We watched it squeal and burn till it finally ran out the still open door, disappearing in the distance, Hop ran to shut and lock the door.

I finally noticed the song went off, just as the door clicked shut.

I ran back into the room to get Joyce and Mattie, bringing the two into the room.

"How'd you know?"I looked at Billy

"I called them, right after you two got out of the window, thank god this is a small town right,"Joyce smiled, handing me Mattie.

"Billy called me, knowing I'm a pro at this, he picked me up on the way here and he wanted to make your dreams come true,"Steve added

"What was that?"Hop asked, putting his arm around Joyce.

"Fighting something to one of Ozzys songs."Billy and I both said, smiling at each other, he pulled me in, careful of Mattie, kissing my head.

"Thank you for coming and helping us, but just know, we so could've handled that on our own. And I thought that was pretty manly, what you yelled about Mattie."I smiled

"Mattie? Oh know, that was about the shotgun,"I gave him a look which made him stop talking.
