Over And Out

Chapter six

Will couldn't say anything for a long minute.  His heart was beating quickly and his eyes were scanning Mikes face to see if he was joking or not.

"Say something.  Anything.  Please."  Mike was getting anxious the more quiet Will got.

Will went to say something but in a flash he was back in the upside down.  His heart starts beating faster, if that was even possible.

He felt someone push him from behind, causing him to fall forward.  He was quick to react, sitting up and facing that way.  He expected to see Vecna, or another monster.

Instead he saw his dad.

Will stares at him, his eyes wild.  "Why?  What are you doing here?"  He asks nervously.  He stumbles over his words as he stands up quickly, stepping back away from him.

"I knew you were a faggot."  He said coldly.  It was then he figured out that it wasn't his dad and was Vecna.

Will stares at him for a few second before breaking into a sprint, running away from him.  He head Vecna laugh from behind him.

He felt the vines below him wrapping around his legs.  He wasn't afraid to die before but now he was.  Because now he had something to live for.

The vines latched onto his legs, causing him to fall.  He tried to get out of it but he couldn't before Vecna showed up.

"I told you I was going to kill Mike first."  He says coldly.  Will fights even harder against the vines but it didn't make a difference.

"Don't touch him!  Don't hurt him!"  Will yells.  Vecna was quiet for a few minutes.

"I'll give you a choice then."  He says, his voice sounded like nails on a chalkboard. 

"Choice?"  Will repeats.  He stopped moving and fighting against the vines.  "What choice?"

"Eleven or Mike."  He says, staring at Will.  "Pick one to survive, one to die."

Will stares at him for a long time, not saying anything. 

"Pick."  Vecna repeats again.

"You can't do that!"  Will yells.  "That's not fair!"

"Pick.  Or I kill both."  Vecna enjoyed this.  It was amusing to him.

"Leave them both alone!  Kill me, I don't care just don't hurt them."  Will fights against the vines again, nothing worked.  "You already put Max into a coma, and now you want to kill me.  Leave them alone!"

"Fine.  I'll kill you.  But if Eleven dies while trying to kill me that is not my fault."  He says, the vines around Will tighten.

"Technically it would be your fault."  Will laughs almost like a  psychopath.

The vines around him tighten even more, close to cutting his circulation off. 

Then the vines release him and Vecna lifts him up into the air using his powers.

"It's a shame, really.  We could have been on the same side."  Vecna sighs and Will felt a grip around his throat.

He couldn't talk anymore.  It was painful and slow and Will started to lose feeling in his body.  He didn't want to die.  Not yet.  But he couldn't chose between the boy he loved and his sister to die.

So once again, he put others before himself.

And it might just get him killed.
