AURORA SAT WITH HER friends on the bleachers of their middle school gymnasium. Eleven had fallen asleep leaning up against Aurora, who would constantly run her hand up and down the girls arm.
The kids sat in silence; Mike kept tapping his foot softly, and Aurora had been chewing on her lip — so much that it had begun to bleed — Lucas and Dustin had begun a silent game of rock-paper-scissors to pass the time.
"With," her voice echoed through the gym, "with what you started to say earlier? What were you going to say?"
Mike stopped bouncing his foot as glanced behind him at the two boys, "um, it wasn't much. It was nothing, promise."
Eleven moved forward, and Aurora nodded before smiling at the girl, "Thanks for joining us sleepyhead," Aurora would've said more, but Mike stood up abruptly and ran out of the gymnasium, "did I say something wrong?"
"No..." Lucas responded, before Mike came running back.
"They're gone," Mike ran a hand through his hair harshly.
"What?" Lucas and Aurora questioned.
"Nancy and Jonathan," Mike took a few steps closer, "his cars gone."
"They're probably just sucking face somewhere." Dustin reasoned.
"No," Mike shook his head as Lucas groaned, "no way!"
"Did they go with the chief?"
"I don't know!" Mike threw his hands up in frustration.
"No," Eleven spoke.
"What?" Mike leaned closer, his voice sharp, "did you see them? Do you know where they went?"
"Yes."
"Where?" It was clear that the boys were getting frustrated with Elevens one-word responses. "Where did they go?"
"Demogorgon."
"Shit, man!" Dustin cried out as he stood up, "oh god."
