33. Papa

I was still there. After the tattoo process had been done. "All done. Not so bad, was it? See? There's nothing to be afraid of. Is there, Y/n? Why don't you take a seat?" He said and it was all distorted I ran into the hall. Freezing when I saw the blood and the bodies. I heard screaming on the distance and I kept running. I saw the door was a boarded and started pulling the planks of.

"No! Why? Why." I said as I pulled them off.

"Y/n." I heard Vecna say and I turned around. There he was. "What are you doing? It not time for you to leave." He said and I started pulling the planks again. Why was there so many. "Not that you've seen where I've been...I would like very much to show you where I am going." He said and I pulled the last plank off. There was Brenner again. But it wasn't him. "Take a seat, Y/n." He said and the lights went off. It was dark. When the lights went on again. I was on a sit. Vines wrapping around me. There was point in struggling because I'd never get loose. Vecna then approached me. Once he was in front of me he looked at me. I was petrified. "I...want you to tell Eleven. I want you to tell her everything you see." He said and he put his hand up and I saw everything.

"No! No! Stop!" I shouted as I could see the destruction that was going to be caused on Hawkins.

"Tell her..." He said to me. I couldn't move anything.

"No!" I screamed out again. I wanted this over.

"...everything." He said and the rest played.

"No!" I shouted and I was back again. In the trailer with Steve. I lost my footing.

"Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa." Steve said as he caught me and cradled me on the ground. I started to cry, that was too much. "It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. I'm here. I'm right here." He said and I looked at him. He was there. This wasn't something that Vecna created. I was trying to process everything but I couldn't.

"Steve, your here." I said to him and he ran his hand through my hair.

"I'm right here. I'm not leaving you." He said to me and I knew that I'd have to tell the others. But how. How can I say that I saw everything from Vecna's beginning to the destruction of Hawkins. Once we made it up to the trailer I started to tell them what happened.

"He showed me things that'll will happen soon. It was the most horrific things. I saw a dark cloud overcasting the whole of Hawkins. Downtown was on fire. Dead soldiers. And this...giant creature with...a gaping mouth. And this creature, it wasn't even alone. There were so many monsters there. A whole army of them. And they were all coming here, to Hawkins. Into our neighborhoods. Our homes. And then...he showed me my parents. Steve. Hunter. And they...they were all..." I said and that's when I lost it. They were all gone. Dead. I looked at Hunter and then at Steve.

"Okay, but...he's just trying to scare you, Y/n. Right? I mean...I mean, it's not real." Steve said and I looked at him. Shaking my head.

"Not yet it's not. But there...there was something else. He showed me all the gates. Four gates. Spreading everywhere across Hawkins. And these gates, they looked like the one outside of Eddie's trailer, but...they never stopped growing. And this wasn't the Upside Down version of Hawkins. This was our Hawkins. The one we live in. Our home." I said and Hunter came over to me. Hugging me.

"Four chimes. Vecna's clock. It always chimes four times. Four exactly." Max said and I looked at her. This was where I'd admit this.

"I heard the chimes too." I said and that's when I saw Max shake her head.

"He's been telling us his plan this whole time." Max said to us all.

"Four kills. Four gates. End of the world." Lucas said and this was why he was taking people out so quickly.
