Alex followed the screams of a girl yelling "Jonathan!" They eventually ran into each other. Alex instantly recognising her as Mikes sister.
Alex quickly looked behind the girl to see the demogorgan. The wheeler sister (who Alex assumed was Nancy) whipped around and looked at the monster in fear. Alex sighed knowing what she had to do to protect the girl and herself. She quickly moved Nancy behind her before sticking her hand out. Red wisps surrounded her fingers and surrounded the monster as she pushed her hand forward sending the monster flying backwards.
Nancy looked at the girl with a mixture of shock, confusion and thankfulness. It seemed like she was too stunned to move resulting in Alex grabbing her wrist and pulling her behind a tree.
The two girls heard yelling coming from the tree next to them. They carefully ran towards it as to not make any sound and alert the demogorgan. Alex let nacer go through first as she could defend herself better than Nancy due to her powers. Once Nancy had crawled through Alex followed with help from Nancy who grabbed her hand to pull her out.
Once Alex was mostly out she looked over to see a boy (who she assumed was Jonathan) comforting Nancy. As soon as Alex was fully out Nancy tackled Alex int a hug. "I don't know who you are, or how you did that but thank you so much" she cried into the surprised girls shoulder. Alex had only ever been hugged by El and that was rare. At first Alex was scared, unsure of what the girl was doing. But, once she realised she meant know harm she hugged back.
Jonathan looked at the girl with utter confusion. He hadn't seen this girl before Nancy went to the Upside Down so how was she here now. He had millions of questions but decided to ask later as the girls had just narrowly escaped death.
********************
Alex was slightly worried about Mike seeing her with his sister and Jonathan as the three of them drove to the wheelers house but it was a small problem. Alex had just finished explaining who she was and where she came from (minus the parts about El and the boys) to the two teens.
Alex explaining who she was only raised more questions for Nancy and Jonathan but they thought it would've been better to wait until everything was over.
The three of them snuck into Nancys house. Jonathan was slightly concerned about Nancys safety due to her letting Alex, who she had only met that evening, into her house. However, Nancy was happy Alex was there it made he feel a lot safer.
Nancy had asked Alex to stay and had given her some pyjamas to sleep in. Alex had changed privately in the bathroom, flashes of the demogorgan appearing in her mind.
The voices returned getting even louder. Alex sat on the floor of the bathroom covering her ears. The voices seemed to be getting worse whenever they returned. However this time one voice confused her.
"Why is Nance with Jonathan?"
This voice was close range and louder with the others. It confused her but she dismissed it for now. All the voices suddenly disappeared and Alex stood back up and left the bathroom and entered Nancys room.
Nancy smiled timidly before leaving to shower. That left Jonathan and Alex alone. They were in silence for a moment before Alex saw the expression on Jonathan's face and decides to speak up. "What's wrong? Aside from the obvious."
Jonathan looks over at the girl and back down to the floor. "Is everything you said before true? A...about your life and powers?" The girl sighed fiddling with her fingers. "You don't believe me do you?"
