"That place is crawling with those dogs." Hopper said.
We were all sat around the table, discussing our plan of action.
"Demo-dogs." Dustin corrected him.
"I'm sorry what?" Hopper asked.
"Not the time Dustin." I grumbled but he ignored me.
"I said uh Demo-dogs. Like Demogorgon and dogs. You put it together and it sounds pretty badass-"
"How is this important right now?" Hopper snapped and Dustin turned away.
"It's not. I'm sorry."
"I can do it." Eleven said, everyone's heads snapping to her.
"You're not hearing me." Hopper said.
"I'm hearing you. I can do it."
"Even if El can, there's still another problem." Mike said, "If the brain dies. The body dies."
"I thought that was the whole point?" Max said.
"It is, but if we're really right about this, I mean, if El closes the gate and kills the mind flayer's army..."
"Will's a part of that army." Lucas says.
"Closing the gate will kill him." Mike finishes.
Everyone looks around for a second, almost defeated before Joyce speaks up, "He likes it cold."
"What?" I asked.
She stood up quickly and rushed into the room that Will was in, everyone following behind her, "He likes it cold! It's what Will kept saying to me. He likes it cold. We keep giving him what he wants!"
"If this is a virus and Will's the host then..." Nancy started.
"Then we need to make the host uninhabitable." Jonathan finished.
"You need to burn it out of him." I said.
"We have to do it somewhere he doesn't know this time." Mike says.
"Yeah, somewhere far away." Dustin adds.
"I have a place." Hopper says.
Everyone breaks apart as Hopper gives Jonathan instructions to his cabin, taking Will outside. I pace inside as I try and think. We can hide Will from the mind flayer but the moment El steps in that lab, he'll know. Steve places his hand on my shoulder as I turn to see El and Mike saying their goodbyes.
"El. Let's go, come on it's time." Hopper says.
We all wait outside, watching as their cars pull away. I silently pray that they'll be safe. We walk back inside, each of us plopping onto different seats. Me and Steve sat next to one another on the couch. The exhaustion hitting me as I lean my head back.
"You alright?" He whispers.
"I'm fine. Just tired."
"Here." He says grabbing me and pulling my head onto his chest as I get comfortable.
"When did you guys start getting all cozy?" Mike asked.
I opened my eyes wide and glared at him, Steve doing the same.
"We're not cozy. It's been a long day. We're just tired." Steve said.
"Just tired my ass." Mike mumbled.
