Stranger Things || MALE READER

Chapter 1: Thanks dad, you really are the best

You know that awkward moment, when your dad is an abusive asshole that hunts literal monsters for a living and one day you, your brothers and said bitch go on a hunting trip to kill some vampires and after you've split up and almost been killed by one, your dad shows up, kills the creature and leaves you half dead on the floor because he found out you liked boys? ... No? Well I guess that's just me then.

So here I am, laying on the cold cement floor, blood running out of the side of my stomach, where a vamp got me with its claw. And you know what? On other circumstances I might just stay here, bleeding to death, I mean, I don't really have anything to live for. My whole life has just been constant fighting, research, crappy motels, never making real friends 'cause of moving places all the time due to my father's obsession with killing the thing that killed me and my two younger brothers' mom. Considering all of these things I should probably just keep laying here, slowly bleeding out, I can feel the pool of blood starting to form beneath me already.

But there's always a reason to keep fighting...right?

There has to be.

Why else would people go through bad stuff? Just so they can live their live after it's over like nothing happened? No. There's always a reason why things happen the way they do. I personally have no fucking clue and could really use some wisdom about it, but hey, on the positive side, if there's a reason why these things happen, then there's always a reason to keep fighting.

I've said that to my brothers all the time 'always keep fighting'

It's time to take my own advice then, isn't it?

Looking around I couldn't spot anything helpful, but luckily my flannel has already been ripped by the vampires so I can remove the sleeve more easily. I sat up, ripped the sleeve off my left arm and put pressure on the wound. It wasn't that deep but still quite big, it reached from my side almost to the middle of my stomach.

Alright, you've got this, y/n, just stand up, grab your gun and machete and just walk to the next house you stumble upon. Either the person living there is decent and calls the medics...or you just point the gun to their head and make them let you use their phone. Easy peasy. And if nobody's home, just break in and call the medics yourself. Like I said, easy.

And I did just that

Well

I tried

"How the fuck is there literally no house anywhere?!? I mean it's just the middle of the woods? Come on people, be more open to nature!"

I've been walking for about ten minutes and the blood hasn't stopped flowing out of the wound. There was no one, just the crunching of leaves beneath me, the wind howling through the trees and the weird faint noise some lanterns made. It was actually quite the nice ambience if you think about it. But still...no people.

At least, that's what I thought. Right then, I heard the sound of an engine coming closer, I think it's a truck, I might be saved.

"HEY! Help! Please, over here, help!!" the truck slowed down driving in its original direction, and then I heard it coming closer, as my blood loss caused me to lean on a tree to prevent myself from falling to the floor. The energy used for yelling must have been too much for me. But I can't give up now, the truck, it's coming closer, I can hear it. I can keep fighting the black spots that are clouding my vision. I can. I can keep fighting.

The noise was getting louder and louder and I was correct in my suspicions, that it was in fact a truck, a light brown one to be specific and if I see correctly, there's something written on it too...shit.

Hey there, Author here!

This is my first story that i ever wrote, so it might be shitty. sorry. also English is not my first language so i apologize in advance for errors. You can point them oput and i will try to correct them. The chapters are also going to get longer, this is the shortest one from those i have written, they wil usualy have at least 1000 words. I have the first four chapters already written, it's gonna take the first few to get into the stranger things plotline but there are already strange things happening in chapter four so you can look forward to that. I'm not sure when I'll post the next chapter but it will be soon.

I hope you enjoyed this far and I'm wishing you a good morning/day/evening/night.

See ya!
