Thirty

(a.k.a. the beginning of the end)

Eddie's trailer door opened with a creak and then a very aggressive kick from Dustin.

We walked in to find the entire place in even worse condition than when we left it last time.

The ceiling was nearly completely covered in the sticky material that makes up the upside down. It was enough to fit at least five people through and it would only get bigger.

Vines from the upside down covered the edges and twisted off the ceiling and down the walls, nearly to the floor.

We quickly got ready and started getting ready to make the trip into the upside down.

We tied some more bed sheets together and moved the mattress under the portal again.

Unloading the RV was quite hard because we did steal the RV like a day or so ago from the same trailer park we were in.

But after we finished, we just kind of put it back from where we stole it. I don't know where the couple went after we stole their house/car but they were gone.

We could get Lucas, Max and Erica once we knew we were safe after Vecna was killed.

Each of us climbed through the portal one by one and we made sure all of our supplies was with us before continuing on.

I hated the upside down so much. It reminded me of what was taken from me.

"Remember what we came here for. We get in, we get out and we go home. World saved," Nancy told all of us.

"And we don't die," Robin added.

Robin and Nancy turned to grab their stuff but Steve looked at the three of us. "Remember, don't try to be heroes. If something goes wrong, don't hesitate to leave. Stay alive," He looked at me and then at Eddie. He ruffled Dustin's hair before turning to the girls.

Nancy looked at me one last time before turning away. This might be the last time we see each other. I don't know what would happen if she was suddenly gone.

Robin, Steve and Nancy took the bikes towards Vecna's house. I thought of losing my sister. I think my mother would absolutely lose it. I trusted Steve to be there for Nancy, he was obviously still in love with her. But Nancy was headstrong, like Robin, but Robin was like a penguin on stilts.

Eddie, Dustin and I were in charge of securing the trailer and drawing the bats away. It was a somber few minutes as we took apart a nearby fence and some siding and secured the windows and doors of the trailer. We also hauled out his guitar equipment and plugged it in. I guess this dimension has electricity.

Dustin looked scared as Eddie got ready to play.

"Are you ready for the most metal performance in the world Henderson?" Eddie asked him, clearly sensing some nerves.

Dustin nodded, "Heck yes."

I grinned as Eddie began to play guitar. I recognized a part of it as Master of Puppets. The only reason I knew what song it was was because of the news station playing it on television during a segment of how metal music was turning children and teens against christianity.

It seemed pretty fitting in this situation. Especially since Vecna was controlling us and Eddie was accused of sacrificing Chrissy in the name of satanism.

As we stood on top of the trailer, I used my binoculars to see the demo bats flying towards us.

"Eddie, we need to go. Now!" I interrupted. The bats were a few hundred yards away from us and I could hear their screeching over the guitar.

Dustin, Eddie and I jumped down and ran inside the trailer just as the bats got to us. We slammed the door and barricaded ourselves inside with our shields and spears.
