twenty; the sauna test

[ the sauna test ]
chapter twenty

night had fallen and the party members were all waiting in the locker room for the plan to begin but first, they had to wait for katrina hopper to leave.

"yup, she's still here," will said, opening the locker room door slightly, peeking out.

and there she was, her hair all soaked and water drips down her legs as she stands next to billy, the two talking to each other.

will furrowed his eyebrows and turned to eleven, "i thought they broke up." he whispered.

eleven looked at will, confused as well.

"that's what we thought," max spoke for her, "but it seems they aren't. ew come on."

the teens all looked away, groaning in disgust as the two older teens began kissing each other.

"do you guys think she's with him? you know, flayed?" lucas asked to no one in particular and now this made the group wonder.

could she be flayed?

"there's a chance," mike said with a shrug.

"maybe we should do a test for her too. just to be sure." max suggested.

"oh come on. we can't do that both of them tonight, that'd be too much."

"not tonight, lucas." will said with a roll of his eyes, everyone looking at him, "what about tomorrow? same time, same place?"

"sure."

"okay."

"yeah."

and it's settled, the party will do a test on katrina tomorrow. but right now, their eyes were on billy and billy only.

"she's gone guys."

the group peeked out and sure enough, the blonde girl was gone and billy was alone. they all panicked when his head turned toward the direction of the locker room.

"shit! do you think he saw us?!" lucas panicked.

"probably!" max yelled and they all ran into their hiding spot.

here goes nothing.

billy had just finished his shower and was now getting dressed to go meet with katrina. he pulled on his jeans and that's when he heard the locker room door slam shut.

"pools closed." he called out.

the door slammed again.

"hey! pools closed!" he slammed his locker shut and walked over to the door, trying to open it but it was locked.

then, the lights turned off.

"billyyyyy," mike called out, in a sing-songy voice.  billy slowly turned around at the sound of the annoying voice, "billyyyyyy." mike chuckled, his chuckle echoing around the whole locker room.

"i find you, it's your funeral." billy hissed as he turned the corner and saw the door of the sauna close.

"got you," billy cackled, seeing the dummy they set up in the sauna to look like mike. he clapped his hands like a maniac as he walked to the sauna and mike continued.

"come and get me you piece of shit."

billy stepped into the sauna and the moment he did, he realized the stupid dummy was a fake. he picked it up by the neck just as mike said, "hey, behind you."

billy turned and saw el staring at him, "hi," she flung her head, throwing billy into the wall while she slammed the door shut.

"now!" mike yelled and the rest of the group all ran out of their hiding spot. mike and will jammed a pole between the door handle of the sauna while lucas wrapped chains around it then they locked the door with a lock.

billy began pounding on the door, wanting to be free.

the boy stopped banging and his eyes softened at the sight of his sister, "max," he mumbled, everyone turning toward max, who was staring right at billy.

"do it," max said, not looking away from her brother. will ran over and turned the heat in the sauna all the way.

"max! let me out of here! let me out!" billy yelled, banging on the door with his fist, "you kids.....you kids think this is funny? you kids think this is some kind of sick prank, huh?" he said more calmly but then he spit on the glass and started yelling again, "you little shits think this is funny!"

this made all the kids flinch.

"what is this? open the door! open the goddamn door! open the door!" billy shouted, pounding his fists on the door.

"we're at 220."

well, that took a turn of events.

billy had broken out of the sauna and he attacked eleven. then mike hit him in the head with a freaking metal bar. billy got pissed and was about to attack mike but eleven stopped him.

she threw him into a wall, which caused the wall to break and he flew out of it and onto the ground, groaning in pain.

the kids then watched billy run away into the woods.

"my sister, was it her?"

"yeah," billy said, "it was her."

"she knows now. she knows about me." he spoke. katrina wiped away some of the blood that was on him but he grabbed her arm, stopping her then looked up at her, "she could've killed me."

"yes." she placed a hand on his arm, "but not us."

"not us." she turned her head to where all the flayed stood. billy turned too.

in front of them was the mind flayer, proud of what his two hosts have done.

he has an army now.
a strong army.
