Even Stranger Things

Part 1: The Missing

Mike:
It's 2:13 in the morning. I hear a sound outside. "Eleven?" It's the first thought that pops into my head. She's been gone for 3 months. I know she's not dead, I just know it. I grab my jacket and run down the stairs and out the door. I frantically search around the house for her. Suddenly I hear a noise in the bushes. I step slowly towards it and it begins to move. I hear a loud purring noise and inch my hands towards the bush and push the leaves aside revealing what's behind it. The demogorgon whips it's head around and I scream. At the same time I hear someone yelling my name. Over and over I hear my name. It gets louder and louder and finally I wake up to Dustin shaking me saying my name. "Sorry Dustin," I whisper, "I just had another-"
"Was it Eleven or the demogorgon?" He interrupts. I have been getting these dreams ever since the night at school. She's not gone. I know she isn't. She's not dead. She can't be dead.

Eleven:
It's cold. I can barely breathe. It's just how Will described it on the AV system. It looks just like Mike's basement. I can see the bed he made for me. It felt so safe when he was there, but now, here, I just feel so alone. I started into the forest to check the box for food. I hope there are some eggos. Whenever I have them it reminds me of the first time Mike gave me one. I barely knew him then but now I can't stop thinking about him. I still can't open the gate. My powers are still so weak. After I killed the demogorgon even food can't get my energy back. I used more power than I ever have.

Mike:
"We have to find her!" I said to Dustin, Will, and Lucas.
"Just face it man, she's gone!" Lucas yelled back. Why does he always do that? He can never just be optimistic about anything. "I know you have a crush on her or something but all three of us saw her die in the science room and you need to let her go!" I could feel the anger rushing through me all the way to my fist and I punched him. The hit knocked him down and I jumped on top of him. I kept hitting and hitting and couldn't stop. The anger just took over my conscious.
"Stop it! Mike get off of him!" Will pulled me off of Lucas and he sat up. His face was full of blood.
"Luc-"
"Don't." Lucas snapped back. He wiped the blood off his face and stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
