Chapter 22~ The bite.

"He said he was building something. That is was all for me and Arwen." El looked at everyone with tear filled eyes, Max instantly felt her protectiveness over Arwen kick in and sat closer to her, "what the hell did I do?!" Arwen furrowed her eyebrows, "is he talking about the flayed?" Nancy asked, "so he's building an army just like we thought." Lucas walked back and forth.

"Yeah but he's not building this army for it to spread, he's building it to stop Eleven and Arwen. Last year El closed the gate off but not before Arwen somehow gained powers from it but I have a feeling that really pissed him off and now the mindflayers knows it now has not one but two people to stop, he wants you both out the way." Mike added.

"Shit. I knew I shouldn't have used my powers on him." Arwen said sarcastically but Max could see right through it, she could tell she was terrified.

"He also said he was gonna kill all of you." El said quietly causing Mike's eyebrows to raise and Will's eyes to widen.

"Yeah well that's nice." Max said sarcastically, there was a sudden noise from outside the cabin which caught the attention of Nancy who walked over to the window.

"Do you guys hear that?" She asked, they all sat up and listened closely, "it's just the fireworks." Jonathon replied nonchalantly, "Billy." Nancy turned around to El, "when he told you this, he was here, in this room?" El nodded her head slowly. The group all looked up at the ceiling now hearing the same noises Nancy was hearing, Will started to move his hand up to his neck which caught Arwens attention, "Will?"
"He knows we're here."
Jonathon opened the cabin door and they all ran out to see the mindflayer had found them and was charging towards the cabin through the trees, pushing them out of the way, "Run." Arwen whispered.

Running to the shed outside, Nancy grabbed all the guns and weapons she could. Inside, the rest of the group grabbed furniture to stack against the doors and windows, they stood in a circle and it went silent. "It's close." Will said as the lights started flickering, out of instinct Max grabbed Arwen's hand which she held tightly onto, "where'd it go?" Max asked, the only sound to be heard was the shaky breaths of the teenagers.
Suddenly a loud growling sound came from outside followed by a massive arm smashing through the window, targeting straight for El and Arwen who were too in shock to react, Jonathon came up to the side of it, cutting it with his axe a few times before it threw him across the room into a cupboard, Nancy came in to help him with the shotgun and started shooting at it multiple times until she ran out of bullets, it quickly came right at her, inches away from her face before it just stopped in place, El used her powers and ripped it away from her, the arm of the flayer snapped in half and slithered through a crack in the wall, "holy shit." Max mumbled.
It was only a matter of time before the arm came back through on one side, Arwen quickly jumped in and fended it off until an arm came out of the other side which El used her powers against, they both snapped the arms off and let out heavy breaths before the mindflayer roared through a whole in the ceiling, another arm burst through grabbing Arwen's ankle, trying to pull her up to the roof, "Arwen!" Max screamed and ran over to grab her arms but she was being pulled too hard, Mike was quick to jump in and help grab on, followed by El and Will. Nancy panicked and loaded her gun to shoot at it once again, "Nancy shoot!" Mike shouted.
"Lucas!" He quickly grabbed the axe and stood on the table to cut through the mindflayers arm over and over whilst Nancy was still shooting at it the group was starting to lose grip but the final shot made the flayer release Arwen who fell into Max's arms, "Arwen!" She moved her hair out of her face then noticed part of the arm was still connected to her leg, she ripped it out and threw it causing a blood curdling scream, she fell back into Max's arms, screaming in pain.
El stood up to where the mindflayer was still on the roof and held up both of her arms to split it in half, they all took it as a chance to run out to Nancy's car, "Go! Go go go." They all rushed, as fast as they could with Arwen in Max and El's arms, "Drive. Drive!" Mike shouted whilst an injured Arwen winced in pain in her girlfriends arms.
