Steve and Indiana spent the morning together till Steve had to leave at nine. Indiana and the boy made breakfast and spent the morning watching TV and doing Indiana's chores. When the clock hit nine Indiana walked the boy out and said her goodbyes.
Steve and the girl were already doing better. Indiana went back into her room and laid down in her bed about to go back to sleep.
Max and Eleven bursted into the girls room with a look of worry. "What?" Indiana asks as she sat up.
"Mike, he called. He said we had to come over. He wants you to come too." Indiana furrowed her eyebrows, "Now?"
"Yes. It's an emergency." El adds. Indiana nods and changes before grabbing her keys. Indiana and the three girls drove over to the Wheeler's house quickly.
As they entered they went down to Mike's dirty basement where Lucas, Mike and Will sat.
"What is it?" Indiana asks with worry as they sat down.
"I didn't think it was anything at first. I mean, I think I just didn't want to believe it. The first time I felt it was at Day of the Dead." Will explained.
"Power went out that night, too." Mike nodded.
Indiana thought back to when the power went out at Steve's.
"And then I felt it again at the field near the Nelson farm the next day. Then again yesterday outside Castle Byers." Will tells them. Indiana squints her eyes, "What does it feel like?"
"It's almost like... You know when you drop on a roller coaster?" Will asks.
Everyone nods other then El, replied with a simple 'no'.
"It's like... everything inside your body is just sinking all at once, but... this is worse. Your body... It goes cold and... and you can't breathe. I've felt it before, whenever he was close."
"Whenever who was close?" Indiana asks. "The Mind Flayer." Will replies. Indiana looks at the teenagers in front of her.
"I closed the gate." El tells the boy.
"I know, but... what if he never left? What if we locked him out here with us? This is him. All of him. But, that day on the field, a part of him attached itself to me. My mom got it out of me... And Eleven closed the gate. But the part that was still in me, what if it's still in our world? In Hawkins."
"Is that possible?" Indiana asks.
"I don't understand. The Demodogs died when El closed the gate. If the brain dies, the body dies." Max looks around.
"We can't take any chances. We need to assume the worst. The Mind Flayer's back." Mike states.
"Yeah. And if he is, he'd want to attach himself to someone again. A new me." Will looks up.
Lucas looks to Will, "A new host.".
"How can you tell if someone is a host?" El asks. Indiana's mind flashes to the situation with Billy.
