We arrived back at the Byer's house in silence. Joyce wrapped me in a hug and swept me away to her room. We sat as she held me and we both cried. It didn't feel real. That he could just be gone like that. None of it felt real. I knew there was more to do though. I knew I couldn't sit back. I had to help somehow. I couldn't let these things win after they killed my dad. I stood up quietly as I looked at Joyce, she nodded and kissed my forehead as I exited the room. Everyone was deep in conversation as Steve locked eyes with me. I walked and stood besides silently as I could feel his eyes on mine as everyone continued their conversation.
"Great. So how do you kill this thing?" Hopper asked, "Shoot it with fireballs or something?"
"No, no fireballs." Dustin giggles before bringing serious again, "You uh summon an undead army because...because zombies. You know. They don't....have...brains. And the mind flayer it- it likes brains. It's just a game. It's a game."
"What the hell are we doing here." Hopper threw the manual to the ground.
"I thought we were waiting for your military backup?" Dustin asked.
"We are!" Hopper shouted.
"Even if they come how are they gonna stop this?" Mike asks, "You can't just shoot this with guns!"
"You don't know that! We don't know anything!" Hopper shouted at him.
"We know it's already killed everybody in that lab!" Mike said.
"And we know the monsters are gonna molt again!" Lucas said.
"We know that's it's only a matter of time before those tunnels reach this town."
"They're right." We heard Joyce speak as everyone turned to here, quieting down.
She walked over to the table silently before standing next to me and taking my hand, "We have to kill it. I want to kill it." She said and I squeezed her hand.
"Hey me too..." Hopper said walking over to us. "Me too Joyce okay? But how do we do that? We don't exactly know what we're dealing with here."
"No, but he does." Mike said looking over at Will, "If anyone knows how to destroy this thing, it's Will. He's connected to it. Hell know it weakness."
"I thought we couldn't trust him anymore?" Max said, "That he's a spy for the mind flayer now."
"Yeah but...he can't spy if he doesn't know where he is." Mike says.
I let out a shaky breath as Joyce kisses my forehead, "I'm gonna get that thing out of my son and make sure it dies after what it did to your father."
"Thank you." I said my voice shaking as she hugged me.
Hopper pulled her away as they brainstormed ideas of where to put Will. I paced in the kitchen slightly as Steve walked up to me.
"I can take you home. You can go home. Back out. I don't want you getting hurt again." He said trying to make me look at him.
"I'm not going home! There is nothing left for me there! Do you understand that? Nothing." I repeated and he grabbed my shoulder making me stop my pacing.
"Okay, okay. But I need to know that you'll stay with me. You'll stay safe." He looked into my eyes and I nodded.
"August. Steve. We need some help." Nancy said and we followed her into the shed.
