Barb was leaning onto Jonathan's shoulder, barely having the strength to sit up. Nancy had teary eyes, her best friend was alive.
Barb: What happened while I was gone?
Barb had half shut eyes. You could tell she hasn't had enough sleep for a while.
Nancy: I guess you can say —
Nancy glanced at the others in the group.
Nancy: A lot.
Barb: Oh. Give me the details later, Nance.
Eleven: Home.
They were in front of the Wheeler's house. They stepped in. Eleven went downstairs with Mike.
Mike: So..
Eleven: Yes?
Mike scratched his back.
Mike: Well.. Downtown there is a Waffle House. Do you— want to go with me?
Eleven: Sure, Mike.
Mike gave a small grin. Eleven gave a slight smile to him. Then there was a ear-wrenching screech.  No, not now. Not here. It can't be.
Eleven: Demogorgon.
Mike: Oh god.
Mike grabbed his walkie talkie and screamed into it.
Mike: Lucas, Dustin, Will. Hurry to my house! Now! Over!
Mike hung up. In a blink of an eye, the rest of the gang parked outside. Mike staggered out the door, Eleven by his side. Barbara was outside, bleeding.
Barb: Eh? What the hell?!
Lucas: Oh jesus.
Dustin: We are screwed.
Will: Oh no. Why is it here?
Mike: Barbara must've got a cut... But no time for that.
Lucas pulled a slingshot out. Will stepped back, and Dustin watched. Mike nodded at Eleven. Eleven stretched her arm towards it, eyes locked on the Demogorgon. A screech was heard, then cut off. It had withered into pure black dust. Barbara was in awe, her jaw wide open.
Eleven: Gone. For now.
Mike: Thanks for saving us, El.
Eleven grinned. This was rare. Mike smirked, then stopped to look at the rest of them.
Lucas: Jesus. How many of them exist, anyway?
Dustin: Probably, like, a thousand.
Will: Yeah.
Mike: — Anyway. Barbara, what happened?
Barb: I was just fixing my wounds. When my cuts started bleeding again. Then that — thing just popped out of no where.
Mike: Oh yeah! Nancy told me about how The Demogorgon is attracted to blood.
Barb: That makes more sense..
Eleven: Let's go, Mike.
Lucas: Hey, where you guys going?
Will: Yeah.
Mike: Just the new Waffle House.
Dustin: Hey! I want to go!
Barb went inside with Nancy.
Mike: Okay.. You guys can come.
Lucas, Dustin, and Will cheered.
Dustin: Hell yeah! To the Waffle House!
The gang hopped on bike, and drove far from The Wheeler's house...
