Poison {Mike + El} | #Wattys2016

Mike's POV-

"Will, your friends told me that she was dead. How does a girl just die and months later appear in that... place?" I heard Joyce whisper to Will. I sighed.

She wasn't just some girl. She was El. My El, and if I knew my El she wouldn't give up on me or herself. She would find a way out or stay alive until we found her.

I know I was just down in the dumps telling myself she died but then I realized that she believes in me and I in her. She wouldn't just give up knowing that I wasn't gonna let anything happen to her.

"Mike!" Dustyn yelled, I looked at him and sighed.

"Sorry, I was just-" I began, Lucas cut me off.

"Thinking about El. We know."

Hopper walked in, looking at Joyce worriedly. They obviously had a thing going on, they can't lie about that.

"What's this about Eleven?" He asked, looking around. Joyce walked up to him and tried to get him to relax.

"Will and the boys, they know where she is, she's in the Upside Down." Joyce said. Hopper shrugged.

"Ok so let's go get her, that thing is dead, it shouldn't be hard." Hopper said, Joyce looked at us worriedly and I took it upon myself to answer him. So I stood up and stepped a bit closer to them.

"We can't sir... There's more then one there." I said, looking down. He stepped closer to me.

"What?" He asked.

"There's more than one, we noticed it when we got in contact with El." I answered. He whiped his mouth with his hand and sighed.

"Well getting to the gate is going to be pretty hard considering they have upped the security there." He answers, sitting down on the lone chair. Joyce looked at him confused.

"How do you know that Hopper?" She asked, folding her arms and looking at him. He sighed

"They've been doing tests on me." Hopper admitted. We stared at him in shock as Joyce unfolded her arms.

"What?! And you're just now telling me?!" She asked.

"It's top secret. They wanted to see how I have reacted to the poison in the other sides atmosphere and in order to keep you and Will from being tested too I agreed." He answered. Joyce covered her face and sighed.

"You're so stupid sometimes, ok. Since you know how to get in, can you get us in?" She asked, he shook his head. "What, why?"

"Because even if you do get in..." He said, looking at us. He looked away for a second and sighed. The next thing that was said made me freeze.

"The gate is closing"

El's POV-

I finally found a hiding spot in Will's house, or what I remember as his house. I found a crack in the wall and found a small hideout. Hiding my face in my knees and stayed quiet. I heard mumbled echoes and knew that someone was in this house in their world. But contacting them was dangerous and would make me weaker. I needed my strength.

"The gate is closing!?" I heard it echo. I froze and looked at the door. It was closing?

"Mike calm down" I heard someone else say.

Mike.

"We can't give up." Mike said. I smiled slightly as it all faded away.

He wouldn't give up on me.

Thank you Mike
