You Frustrate Me Incredibly

I don't think she does

We went to Scull rock again, but the Upside Down version. It's full of veins and particles. This is not good. I'm talking about what looks like a few dozens of those things. Circling around in the sky.

The chitters slowly fade away and I let out a sigh of relief. We're all hiding under the rock.

Eddie is next to me. I hang my head in frustration only to be surprised by something else. He has his hand on my lower back. I don't think he even realises cause, I look at him and he's just looking out for the bats.

"Okay", Robin says panting in relief

"That was close", I say relieved

"Too close", Robin adds

As we get up I see Steve stumbling and Nancy goes near him to help him out

"I'm okay", he whispers

"Yeah, Steve? That's very doubtful", I say and go to help him out but the pain in my shoulder stops me in my tracks

"No, you're not. You're losing blood" Nancy says looking at his injuries. She rips a piece of fabric from her trousers.

"Okay", Robin says approaching "I'm pretty sure wooziness is not a common symptom of rabies. But, if you start having hallucinations, or muscle spasms, or you start feeling really aggressive, like you wanna punch me or something, then you should totally let me-", she blabs out

"Robin", I say signing her to stop

"I kinda wanna punch you", Steve tells her struggling

"Sense of humour still intact", she says with an anxious laugh "That's a good sign"

Eddie and I are standing further back. I feel a stinging pain near my collarbone. The bite. I hiss out in pain and he shoots his eyes at me full of concern.

"Oh, hell", I say going to touch the wound

"Don't", Eddie says getting my hand away "Let me", he says looking me in the eye and then to the wound. I simply freeze. I don't really wanna push back right now. This really fucking hurts. He shifts the fabric of my shirt and gently touches the skin around the wound. I'm looking at him and I pray to God that he doesn't look back, because, I can't see my face, but I know that I look flustered as shit. For fuck's sake, no.

"It's not that deep, I'm okay", I say pushing past him trying to escape my thoughts

"Y/N", Robin says shooting her eyes at me as see notices that I'm hurt too

"Yeah, me too. But, please, for crying out loud, stop talking about rabies", I tell her desperately

"Yeah, yeah sure", she nods

"How's it looking?", I say directed to Steve

"I've been better", he says struggling to stand up

Eddie goes and climbs up on a rock

"So, this place is like...Hawkins, but with monsters and nasty shit?", he wonders

"Pretty much", Steve responds and Eddie goes to step down

"Wait! Watch out for the veins", Nancy exclaims

"Yeah, it's all a hive mind", I add

"It's all a what?", he questions

"All the creepy crawlies around here, dude. They're, like, one or something", Steve adds "You step on a vein, you're stepping on a bat, you're stepping on...Vecna"

"Shit"

"But, everything from our world is still here, right? Except people, obviously", Robin suggests
