Heartbroken//Mileven

Chapter 8

El's eyes shoot open. She coughs, and her whole body convulses, letting out the slug that had been residing in her mouth. 

She sits up and wipes her face, looking around her. She stands up leaning against a tree, and looks at her reflection in the pond in front of her. 

She reaches to her shoulders, what had happened to her hair? Why was it so long? Where was she? Snapping back into reality, she scans the horizon. 

Immediately recognizing where she was, she runs as fast as her legs would carry her to Mike's house. 

Something slams her from behind, and she spins around, terrified of what it might've been. The monster, it was back for revenge. The last thing she heard was her own scream before she blacked out.

Will sits in the corner hugging his knees, wishing it to go away. The monster had been taking better hold of his body now that it was stronger, which only meant more torment for Will.

 It was uncontrollable, horrific to be of witness to, but even more so to be experiencing. 

He really did try to get rid of it, but nothing seemed to work. He rocks back and forth again, the only way he could clear his head and think for himself again.

 He just wished everything would go back to the way it was before everything happened. 

Before this happened. He shoved his head in between his knees and cried, for there was nothing else to do.

Mike had thrown open the door and come face to face with a horrific sight. Lucas and Dustin were unconscious on the floor, limbs strewn about and faces slack. But the most disturbing part was what Will had been doing. 

He was rocking back and forth in the corner, whispering to himself about god knows what. Mike quietly walks over the Will and cautiously put his hand on his shoulder. 

Will whips his head around, and his face is what made Mike regret everything he had just done. The last thing he heard before he blacked out was his own scream.
