- 3rd Person POV

Y/n slept while holding Dustin's arm, the whole night. Who could blame her? Everything that happened yesterday was intense. Dustin's walkie-talkie kept going off. It was Eddie, but everyone was dead asleep. Nancy got annoyed and picked up the walkie-talkie instead. Eddie tells her he needs food and some beers. Nancy gets distracted and hangs up when she sees that Max had left her spot on the couch. "Dustin! Wake up! Aren't you supposed to be on Max watch?!" Nancy shook him. "Yep.. yep. Sorry," he mumbled, rubbing his eyes. "Where is she?" Nancy asked. "She's right there- I swear she was right there!" he pointed to the couch but froze when she wasn't there. The shouting caused Y/n to wake up.

"I'm so sorry Y/n," Dustin said as he wiggled out of her hold. Y/n nodded and laid her head back down. Dustin smiled and then followed Nancy upstairs to find Max. She was actually only in the dining room, with Holly.

- Your POV

Nancy woke us up to get us to the car, we needed to buy food for Eddie and check something out. Thankfully I had spare clothes in Steve's car, so I changed quickly and we left.

After a long drive, we finally made it to a house. This house was Victor Creel's house. We walked up the steps. Nancy and Steve went to the door and began to take the nails off the wood. "Why exactly are we at this shithole? Are we looking for something?" I asked. "We're not sure. We just know this house is important to Vecna," Nancy replied. "Because Max saw it in Vecnas red soup kind world?" Steve questions. "Basically," Nancy nodded. "Maybe it holds a clue to where Vecna is. Why he's back, why he killed the Creels, and how to stop him before he comes back for Max," Dustin suggested.

"We don't think he's in there... do we?" Lucas asked. "Guess we'll find out," Max said. I nodded and looked back to the door. The door was locked but luckily Robin found a brick, and she threw it at the window. Steve reached in and unlocked the door. We all walked in and looked around the dusty home, it was just abandoned. "Hey guys, you see that right?" Max asked us. She pointed her light to the clock. "Is that the clock you saw in your visions?" I asked. She nodded. "It's just a clock, right? A normal old clock," Robin reassured.

"Why is this wizard obsessed with clocks? Is he a clockmaker or something?" Steve questioned. "I think you cracked the case, Steve," Dustin said sarcastically. I held in my laugh. "All I know is... the answers are here. Somewhere. Okay everyone stay in groups of two, Robin upstairs," Nancy guided us.

"Hey, our trio is back," I joked at Steve's disappointment. He sighed. "Was that a sigh?" Dustin asked. "No, I did not sigh..." Steve argued. "We heard you?" Dustin said. "Well, we're always partners..." Steve frowned. "Do you hate us?" I asked. "No! I do not hate you..." He rolled his eyes.

- 3rd Person POV

"Can you clarify what sort of clues were supposed to be looking for here?" Steve asked. Dustin just restated a Sherlock Holmes quote and walked away with Y/n.

The duo walked over to a room with many boxes inside. "Shall we?" Dustin asked. Y/n nodded taking the flashlight. Dustin rummaged through a box full of toys. He jumped up. "Hey! Look at this," Dustin said holding up a water ring toy. "Cool, but not my thing right now," Y/n replied. "But you loved these, you always took them to class," Dustin frowned. "It's nice," Y/n smiled. "What is?" He asked. "You remembered that," she looks over to him then back down at the box. Dustin got red but thankfully the room was dark.

The two kept laughing at some of the things they found. "W-we should do this more," Dustin said out of nowhere. "Do what?" Y/n looked at him. "I guess just hang out... the two of us," Dustin avoided eye contact. "Ah... well if my parents don't ground me for being missing the whole week, then yeah," she laughed and stood up. "C'mon let's check out another room," Y/n held her hand out. Dustin took her hand and got up.

After a bit, everyone got back together as Max and Lucas saw that the chandelier light was flashing. "It's like the Christmas lights," Nancy compared. "Christmas lights?" Robin and Y/n asked at the same time. "Yeah, when Will was in the upside down the lights... came to life," Nancy whispered. "Vecnas here. In this house, just on the other side..." Lucas said. The lights then turned off. "Oh... he left," Y/n said. "Did he hear us?" Max whispered. "Can he see us?" Steve asked. "Headphones," Lucas says to Max. She puts them on.

"Wait. Wait. Everyone turn off your flashlights, and spread out," Nancy told them. Each of them went to separate rooms, and then Robin shouted. "I got him! I got him!" She exclaimed. Everyone rushed towards her but then her light turned off. "I had him..." she sighed. Then Steve's flashlight flashed on. The light guided everyone upstairs. "Lost him," Steve sighed. "No, you didn't," Max ran ahead to a door and opened it. The only light in the room was turned on. "Guys wait, what if he's leading us into a trap? Guys, Guys?!" Dustin tried to stop them. They all walked closer to it, and then all their flashlights turned on. "What's happening?" Steve asked. The glass on the flashlights all shattered in their faces, one by one. Dustin quickly covered Y/ns face. "Shit... did something happen? Did he attack again?" Y/n panted. They all looked at each other, concerned.
