Vine Blood (Stranger Things Fanfic)

Chapter Ten - The Road

She had finally released him from her grasp so he could go toilet. 

When he had finished. 

She was stood waiting for him. 

Her cheeks flushed red, she was embarrassed. 

"a-are you ready to explain what you showed me?" he asked carefully 

"yeah but not here ... can we go?"

Knowing what she meant he nodded reluctantly. 

"come here then" she held out her hand. 

He took it and allowed her to lead him back to the bed. 

They both sat on it facing each other. 

Holding his hands in hers she smiled at him gently before closing her eyes. 

Watching her eyes flutter, he tried to hide his emotions of how uncomfortable he was with her hands touching his. 

His eyes slowly shut, untrusting. 

Then he was there in his car. 

His Chevrolet Camero. 

Her beside him in the front seat. 

The night felt familiar. 

The road the car was travelling on was familiar. 

"this was the night you were going to meet Karen Wheeler" Vine winked at him.

Billy's eyes darted forward  "we can't be here" he started to panic knowing where the car was leading him.

Hands tightly on the steering wheel he stepped on the brakes.

The car screeched. 

As if it was reluctant to go the opposite way. 

But he persisted and was able to find he could change direction. 

He sped the car further away. 

Heading towards home. 

Vine didn't interfere, he kept expecting her to grab the wheel and make him go back to face the monster that was waiting for him.

But she allowed him to lead the car where he wanted it to go. 

The streets were empty there was no one else around. 

The silence of the night disturbed him. 

But the warm air of the night felt  very real. 

And again he wasn't in his hospital gown he was in his jeans, white vest, leather jacket, his face and his mullet clean, his boots polished. 

Vine was in  clothes too. 

This time she was wearing a long sleeved dress it was white with a thin brown belt in the middle, three inch white heels were on her feet with cotton white socks, and her hair was curled into small ringlets. 

All of their injuries from last night were nowhere to be seen on their skin. 

They both looked like normal older teens now. 

Heading out on a date. . 

But he wasn't sure how old she was, he was sure she was similar to the same age as him and she would of been his type if he knew her in school.

Vine overheard his thoughts and let out a snigger. 

"i thought you prefer older married woman"

Billy knew who she meant.
