After a while Ms Byers got to the school and took him home. Synthia sat in shock. Was he somehow connected to the upside down?
She shook the thought away and focused on the plan to stop whatever the hell this was.
Hopper and Synthia drove in silence. Joyce had called Hopper after she suspected something was wrong with Will and requested Synthia come along as she was the only one who had actually spent a long amount of time in the Upside Down.
The first thing she noticed when they pulled up was that the door was fully open.
They walked in and Joyce said "Leave it open. Where the hell have you been?"
" I overslept. What the hell's going on? It's freezing." Hopper said
Joyce ushered the duo to Will's room. As soon as she saw him she knew he was now connected to the other dimension. She acted the same way when she first discovered her connection. Out of it, being pulled in both directions of each dimension until you don't know which is which. She had gotten used to her connection by now and could suppress it by focusing on her reality now but Will wasn't so lucky
"Hey! Knock, knock. We have visitors." Joyce said to the boy
" So this thing, this shadow thing. You told your mom it likes it like this. It likes it cold?" Hopper said as he sat next to the boy.
Synthia stood in the corner trying to think of a way to break this connection
"Yeah."
" How do you know that?"
" I just know."
"Does he talk to you?"
" No. It's like... I don't have to think. I just know things now. Things I never did before."
"It's a connection. It's kinda like a radio signal." Synthia explained
"Yeah it is." Will said
"And, uh... what else do you know?"
"It's hard to explain. It's like old memories in the back of my head, only... they're not my memories. Okay. I mean, I don't think they're old memories at all. They're... they're now-memories, happening all at once, now."
"Can you describe them?" Synthia asked
" I don't know. It's... it's hard to explain."
"I know it's hard but can you just... Can you try? For us?"
" It's like... They're growing and spreading... killing. The memories? I don't know. I'm sorry."
"No, no, no. It's okay, sweetie. Hey, hey, sweetie... what if you didn't have to use words?"
As Will drew, Synthia, Hopper and Joyce were putting the pieces together like a twisted puzzle.
"I mean, is it some sort of maze or a road? I mean, it's sort of forking and branching like..."
" like lightning." Synthia said, putting the pieces together
"You think it's that storm?"
" No, the storm he drew was completely different. He used red. And this is all blue and it has some weird dirt color." Synthia said
"I mean, maybe it's roots. 'Cause remember, he was saying it was spreading and..."
" Killing." Synthia then said before running out "I know where it's leading to."
"Son of a bitch." Hopper said, knowing what she was talking about
When they got to the pumpkin patch they started digging till they found it... The upside down.
