unknown time
Will's POV
I was walking through the arcade towards a group of people. They were turned around, but from the back it looked like Mike, Dustin, Max, and Lucas. They were talking to that girl- what was her name? Oh, right. Eleven. Like the number.
Wait. Something was wrong. The arcade was empty, the lights out.
I tried to run to them, but everything started to lose its focus and get all staticky. "Guys!" I screamed, but my voice sounded warbled and disconnected. Just before everything blacked out, they turned, but it wasn't my friends' faces. It was the faces of the monster. The thessalhydra.
It was black, and an eerie song began to play. 'Pop Goes The Weasel'. This was worse than a horror movie. This was real.
Or was it all in my head?
I blinked hard, but a headache began to come on. The darkness remained. My nose felt wet, and I wiped it with my hand. Probably more blood. I had been bleeding a lot every time one of these episodes came on.
Suddenly I was in a sterile white room, wearing what looked like a hospital gown. Two people smiled at me, but the smile didn't reach their cold eyes. "Twelve," the man said, reaching for my hand. He patted it gently, and I couldn't pull away. "Use your powers, my son."
I didn't know this guy. Get away! I screamed in my head. But no one could hear it but me.
The image in front of me flickered and went dark, like a TV screen turning off. But this time there was a sky. Bloody red. There was something in it, but before I could tell what it was, it was back to black. Everything fizzled and popped, like a broken TV. Was this all I was now? A broken TV?
I laughed deliriously. I was a TV?
"Will!" I heard someone screaming my name over and over. "Will, baby, where are you?"
"Mom?" I tried to say, but I began to cough. And then I couldn't stop. And then that thing came out.
It was it. The thessalhydra. Out of nowhere. What was happening to me?
It turned to me, growling softly. I felt a pang of hunger, and suddenly I could see myself, as if out of its eyes. I looked asleep, but my eyes were open, staring out at nothing. I wanted to eat.
Wait. Not I. It was the monster that was feeling this. Like we were connected.
Guys does this literally make any sense? I'm probably going to delete this later
