After the longest hours of Eddie's life, besides dealing with the Upside-Down of course, he was finally let out of the courtroom as an innocent man. Some people walked by congratulating him while others scowled at him still fully convinced that he should be locked up or banished from the town.
Walking out Eddie massaged the side of his head as he felt a massive headache starting to form.
"Hey, Eddie, you okay there?" Steve asked as they walked to his car. "Um, yeah, just a headache is all. Might be from the stress of today." Eddie answered as Steve nods entering the driver's side.
"Okay, well, since we're in the car feel free to take a nap. Maybe that might help you a bit." Steve suggests as Eddie gets into the car as well. "Yeah, I think I'll do that," Eddie says leaning his head on the window, slowly closing his eyes as the vehicle began to move.
"Eddie, hey, it's time to get up." A voice called out, at first Eddie just shrugged it off thinking that it was Steve who was trying to wake him up but eventually, the voice became more clear and it sounded strangely like... (Y/n)! Eddie's eyes flew open as he noticed he was out in an open field, (Y/n) stood a few feet away from him with a smile on his face, and no bite marks in sight. "Took you long enough, I was starting to think you forgot about dear old me." (Y/n) says lifting a hand to his forehead pretending as if he was going to faint.
"I-I, (Y/n), but-but you... You're supposed to be..." Eddie begins to stutter as he scrambled onto his feet letting the last words die in his mouth. "Dead?" (Y/n) asked the sky suddenly became a dark gray as thunder could be heard and lightning struck the world around. The gray turned into red as the field around them looked similar to the Upside-Down.
"Yeah, I am, no thanks to you! You left me there! I gave up everything to buy you guys more time and what did you do? You left me there to rot!" (Y/n) says as the bite marks start to appear all over his face, his eyes begin to cloud up as the light is sucked out of them. "I gave away my whole life for you, I never had the chance to be a kid because I wanted to make sure you had a better chance at having a good life... You killed me." (Y/n) says as Eddie watched with wide eyes tears streaming down his face as he shook his head.
"No, no, no, I-I didn't! I didn't do it! I didn't mean to!" Eddie shouts as he steps back trying to get away from (Y/n) but with every step he took (Y/n) took one as well. "(Y/n)... (Y/n) would never say that. No, no, he wouldn't. He'd-"
"He'd what? Tell you that he misses you? That he's glad you made it out? That it didn't hurt giving everything up for a selfish brat? Well the thing is that not everyone says what they mean." (Y/n) stepped closer a sinister smile on his face. "Truth is I despised you, with every fiber of my being, I wished nothing more for the day where you'd grow and I could leave to make my own life." (Y/n) says, Eddie felt like the field was huge but at the same time so small as he couldn't escape (Y/n), instead he tripped on his footing and landed on the ground.
