Mikes POV-

"What do you mean it's closing?" I asked, getting agitated. I just got hope that I could find her again... Why was this happening again?

"One day some of the scientists noticed that the fungus around the gate was getting smaller. They did some more tests and realized that day by day it was getting smaller and smaller. Disappearing." Hopper explained. I sat on the edge of the coffee table and stared at the wall.

Think Mike. Think think think.

"Well can't we go in now? Get her and get out." Joyce asked.

"What about the demagorgons?" Lucas asked. Joyce sighed.

"I'm sorry, I just... I'm worried about her. I can't imagine how scared she is- I..." Joyce started to freak out and I looked up at her. Just then there was a knock on the door and Jonathan went to get it. He opened it to show Steve and Nancy. Nancy walked in and glared at me

"Why didn't you ask me to come, I care about Eleven just as much as you!" She said, continuing to glare. I just stared at her.

"Um... I don't think so Nancy." Dustyn spoke, looking at her. She looked at him confused and back to me. Her eyes widened. I swear if she-

"So you DO like eleven!" She almost yelled, she smiled happily and I just groaned and put my face in my hands. I swear they love to torture me.

"Lighten up Mike, we all know." Lucas spoke. Will laughed and I sighed, sitting up again.

"Well I'm tired of sitting around, I'm gonna go get El." I snapped, standing up to leave.

"Yeah, and die in the process, come on Mike." Dustyn sighed, stopping me.

"The longer we wait, the less of a chance we have to save El!" I almost yelled. " I'm not gonna lose her again.. I'm not..."

"Mike... Are you crying?" Nancy asked, grabbing my shoulder slightly. I looked at her and realized I could barely see her because of tears in my eyes. I was crying and I didn't even know it.

"Please." I muttered. She pulled me into a hug and I let it out. Tears streaming down my face. I never cry. I don't know what came over me but I couldn't stop. I felt 3 more people crowd around and I knew it was my friends. I couldn't even make out words for what felt like forever.

"It's ok Mike. Shh. We'll find her. I promise you that." Nancy said calmly. It only Mae me cry harder. She slowly stroked my hair in an effort to calm me down, but I couldn't.

Not without El.

El's POV-

I woke up from dozing off to hear a roar come from inside the house. I rubbed my eyes and pulled myself up.

I slowly creaked the door open and saw one, quickly closing it as my breath got heavy.

Think Eleven. Think think think.

I breathed in sharply causing me to cough. I froze.

No no no no no

A loud roar sounded and I quickly opened it to see it right over me. I slid under it and ran off, hoping to at least get some distance in between us.

I stopped as I saw a hospital gown. It was laying on the ground and it looked like it was recently lost. I picked it up and looked at it confused. It was just like the gown I used to wear, what was it doing here.

I snapped around when I heard another screech. I stood in fear as one of them stood in front of me.

"No more." I snapped. Snapping it's neck. It fell to the floor and so did I. I tried to stay awake and pull myself back up but... I was so tired...

I was out.
