The Vampire in Hawkins (Eddie Munson x Reader)

Chapter two

I pulled out my gun and fired a few shots but it still went after Nancy. The bullets in my hand gun must have been nothing but a pinch to it. Johnathan turns and grabs a medical pole from behind him and we both run to save her. We reach the door as it disappears under it and Johnathan tries the handle.

The door was locked tight so I used my power to blast open the door just as El and the other kids came running down the hall. She takes the lead and flings the monster around the room before it flies out of the window. Johnathan checks on Nancy as the rest of us run down stairs. The two teens joined us a moment later as we stood watching the monster finish slipping into the sewers. Making it impossible to follow with how small the grate was.

Nancy drops me off at my motel after I asked her too since all my things were there and I wanted time alone since it's been years since I've hung around others for this long. They tell me they'll be at El's house that's hidden in the woods then they all wish me a goodnight sounding a bit upset with how tonight went. I shower and wash the last two days off me, thinking back on how my life feels like it's changing and how I got here.

I came to town because of a sudden death that made authorities scratch their heads. The victims were perfectly healthy before they died and they just suddenly had a heart attack. When I looked into it I realized it was a crossroads deal and ran into a demon that was collecting souls early. I chased him into town and killed him, but accidentally poisoned myself in the process. Then I decided to help these kids with the town's hidden monsters that I have never heard of or seen in all my years of hunting.

After I'm dressed I pull out my journal. It was my tenth one since I was constantly writing and updating the information I took down over the years of the different monsters I encountered. I had an official one in my duffel bag with complete information.

Like vampires and their lore, how to kill them, as well as werewolves, dijin, witches, ghosts, demons, wendigos, changelings, ghouls, wraiths, and shapeshifters. I wanted to eventually share my journal with other hunters, but none of them would trust me. They'd try to kill me before I'd even get a word in. I write the information I have so far and the weaknesses of the Mind Flayer that the kids discovered during their own monster fight in the last two years and do a rough sketch of the monster seen tonight.

I flip through my personal journal, it's as normal as I can get since I typically write about how I feel after a hunt or write nonsense until my mind calms down. My heart aches as I remember back on all the times I wrote about the friend I thought I had as I flip through the middle pages. With a sigh I close the book and lay down in bed, hoping I'm still safe from my own monsters for another day.

The next morning I get dressed, clean and load all my weapons in my duffel bag before drinking a bag of blood. I had to find another nest soon since it was my last but I'll be okay with animal blood or just have to deal with eating more than an obscene amount of human food for enough energy to keep me going until I can do so. Which I really hated doing.

I did it while in the military when there weren't animals around, Steve and Bucky always teased me for the amount I ate or worried about how little I ate when there were animals and it made me want to tell them the truth, but I wasn't ready to lose more friends. My heart was still hurting at the time, and I was tired of feeling alone.

That's why I hunted nonstop until I ran into these kids. Well...i'm still hunting, but there's something different with this group. This hunt is one I'm helping them with.

I stepped out of my room and locked the door behind me with my duffle bag strapped to my back and headed towards the woods to find the cabin that was mentioned. When I arrive at the cabin and knock on the door, Will opens it and I join them as they wait for El to find Billy. Just a bit late to search. "Brimborn....Steelworks."
