"I think I'm in Maddie's memory." Eleven told Mike and the others. She started to walk, people were skating like Maddie and Max always did.

"Do you see her?" Will asked.

"No. But they are here." El kept on walking. "They have to be." She spotted two small children on the ground. One was a red head and the other had brown hair on the ground. Maddie and Max. A tall boy with a Fourth of July shirt on walked up to them, "Shouldn't you just be playing with dolls?"

"Shouldn't you be talking to people your own age." Maddie said back. The boy scoffed and walked away.

Maddie Pov
We ran down the stairs, I opened the front door. Blocked with wood. I heard the faint but loud playing of Master Of Puppets.

"Where are you going?"

I ran again with Max following me, looking for another door. I opened one, boarded up again. I haven't worked out in a while but.. I put my hands on one of the boards and hit. Again. And again. I slammed my hands against it. "BREAK!" I yelled. God damn it.

I grabbed Max's hand again and we ran. I opened the door next to the stairs and it was boarded up. We were running again, I opened another door.

It turned into the Sauna door. Where we locked Billy last year. I then saw him bang on the door, yelling at us. I stared, frightened. I screamed. His hand slammed into the window, and we backed up. His body slammed against the door. Again and again. He was yelling, I grabbed her hand and I closed my eyes. "We aren't running anymore."

I remembered The Snow-Ball. That was Max's happiest memory. When I opened my eyes, me and Max were in the school, it was decorated for the Snow-Ball. Dancing music was playing, but it had no other people.

"Holy Shit." Max whispered. We went sit down on a table and just sat in silence, thinking what to do. Then there was a loud pop. The balloon popped and blood came out of it. We jumped up and looked around.

Another. We turned around immediately. Another. We looked where the sound came from again. Another. Another. Another. We backed away, the music then changed.

I do love you..Dream a little dream of me. Say nighty-night and kiss me.

It went on as we looked around. The silver shiny paper on the wall started to crumble and fall. The flowers started to die. Everything was turning old and dirty and darker. Max and I looked around, nervously. There was then a loud boom and flash of red. Another loud boom and flash of red.

Vecna found us. We grabbed chairs as the music played and stacked them up against each other onto the door. I stared at it and it suddenly changed. "Max." I whispered. She turned around and stared at the door. It then creaked opened slowly.

"You can't hide from me." Another flash of red. I grabbed Max's hand and closed my eyes again. I thought of our moments with eleven and skating moments. I heard Vecna's voice. I then saw visions. Not mine. Vecna's visions. Jason Carver had a gun pointed to Lucas. He found us. And then another. Robin stuck to the walls. And then, Eddie and Dustin screaming.

"You thought your friends could stop me?"

I saw a Demogorgon opening it's mouth. And I saw..Hopper running from a demodog. Dustin screaming alone. Nancy and Steve trying to get Robin unstuck. "I see your friends." Nancy and Steve then getting dragged to the wall, getting choked.

"Stop!" I hear Dustin yell as Vecna talked.

"I can feel them dying." Then a clock chimed. "It is time, Maddie." Vecna added.
