She Returns/They Call Him 012

Chapter Four: Wounded

Mike

I woke up in my room. Well, not my room, the Upside Down duplicate of it. I saw Eleven...wait...! "El,"I exclaimed with joy, "is that really you?!"

   "I love Pancakes, Mark." Not Eleven said. I reached out to slap her, but she turned to dust. "Phony." I thought-mumbled. Lucas and Dustin had been sleeping for a while, and I was gripping the walkie-talkie in hopes in hearing from El. Wait..that was it! I needed to do it myself. I began to whisper the thing Will could hear from a million miles away.

   "Should I stay or should I go?" I softly sang, "Should I stay or should I blow? If I stay there could be trouble, if go there could be double. Well, you gotta let me know. Should I stay or should go?"

Yeah, I didn't exactly know the lyrics to it. I was really just guessing.

   "Mike?!" Will exclaimed over the intercom, "Mike?! Is that you?!"

  "Mike..." Eleven trailed off.
"We're coming!" Will announced.

Eleven

Will took my arm, and snatched up a hazmat suit.

   "Here," he said, "put this on." I gave him a confused look, then nodded. We zipped them up, then stood in front of the gate "First?" I asked. 

   "If you want to." I nodded slowly, and leaped in.

He was sitting there. His dark hair was wet, as well as his clothes. His eyes were bloodshot, and clearly had been open for a while. He got up slightly, and stared into my eyes.

   "Eleven?!" he questioned, and I ran into his arms. We kissed for a long time. His lips tasted of water and slime, but I didn't pay any mind. Will sadly smiled as he looked on.

   "Hey...hey," Dustin mumbled sleepily, "what's going on?" "We're leaving this hellhole," Mike stated, "wake up Lucas." As Lucas hastily got up, I pushed back some slime, and stepped out of the Upside Down.
----------
As we were running, I could hear footsteps in the distance. "Go...back." I said to Mike.

   "El?" he asked, "what's wrong?" "Bad men are coming..." I mumbled.

   "Go," he told the others, "run. Go back." As they were heading back, men in hazmat suits stepped in.

   "Take the freaks." Papa said, smirking at me. Will and I turned around and snapped many of their necks. As I was about to kill Papa, I felt my energy leave me and I couldn't, neither could Will. Us five just sprinted to the gate, and I heard a bullet ricochet of the wall, and Mike fell to the ground. "Mike?!" I screamed out of pure terror, "MIKE?!?!

Yeah, I know this one was short. Please drop some comments and suggestions! More to come...😭💖
