Chapter 17: Tell Me What You Know

Holy moly guys I am so lazy with this book😂😂 SORRY!! I have had a tonne of stressful stuff happen this month but hopefully I will be able to continue writing this because I love this book and my readers ❤ holy moly I am so close to 900!

Lucas

I knew something bad was going to happen, I knew it! But how did this happen, surely Will told us everything. His dreams, no, his nightmares, the blood on his pyjamas. That was all him, Will is... a demogorgan?

I didn't sleep a wink that night, to many thoughts were racing through my head. Will could be in serious danger, we all could be. I checked my alarm clock, "8:53 am, close enough!" I stated to myself as I grabbed my backpack, making sure my wrist-rocket was inside it. I shouted goodbye to my parents as I bolted out the door, grabbing my bike and swinging my leg over the seat.
As soon as I got to Mike's back door I threw my bike down knocked hastily. I was greeted by a perfect smile and blue eyes, "Hey Eve." I said nervously, nobody makes me nervous yet she always gives me butterflies. "Hey Lucas." She smiled and looked down then suddenly pulled me into a tight hug, "Sorry about Will." She whispered into my chest. "It's alright, we'll figure it out." I sighed hopefully, still in shock.
She let go and was bright pink in the cheeks, mine were burning. She stepped aside and let me in, Mike and El were looking at each other, clearly as surprised as I was after what just happened.
"Hey guys." I said awkwardly, looking at my feet. "Hey Lucas!" They shouted back laughing at my embarrassment. "Where's Dustin?" I asked, changing the subject.
"He should be here any mi-" Mike began before there was a loud knock at the door, "That'll be him." I laughed and headed for the door.
"Jonathan? What are you doing here?" He pushed past me, "Tell me what you guys know, tell me everything."

Dustin

"Shit! I'm late." Mike called my house last night and told me to be at his place at 9 and now it's 9:15. He sounded concerned, really concerned but he wouldn't tell me why because he thought someone would be listening to the phone calls, what a worry wort.
I grabbed my backpack and shoved some snacks in and my compass, just in case we were going on some wild adventure, and headed for the door.
I picked up my bike and slowly began to ride towards Mike's house. I just turned into Maple street and saw Max, sitting in the gutter, with her skateboard, again. I had a little laugh to myself before I pulled up in front of her, "What's up gutter girl?" I teased, she smirked then stood up in front of me, "The usual, trying to get away from my shitty stepmom while dad is at work." She huffed, "Wanna come with me to Mike's place, I promise it won't be as strange." I offered and she laughed, I like her laugh. "That was the strangest thing that has ever happened to me ever, but yeah." She smiled, putting her skateboard down and pushing off.
"Hey! Wait for me!" I shouted after her and pedalled as fast as I could to catch up.
She beat me, only just, good thing I didn't bet any of my comic books on that race!
We knocked on the door, "Um hey guys." It was Eve, she looked really worried about something.
Max and I walked into the basement to find Jonathan sitting at the table interrogating Mike and Lucas. "Um what's going on?" I asked sheepishly, "Oh good your here." Jonathan ushered for me to come over and sit down whilst Eve and El watched with concern from the couch, Max soon joined them.
"I know something is wrong with Will and I know that you guys know what it is. Yesterday mom took him to the doctors and they made him stay overnight so they could do some tests. Please guys, just tell me what you know." He asked, his voice shaking.
The three of us looked at each other, " He was having dreams, no nightmares." Lucas began, "and he said that they were real and that he was becoming the demogorgan." Mike continued, "He told us that he would wake up covered in dirt and the other day he showed us his pyjamas which were soaked in blood." I added watching the colour drain from Jonathan's face. "Who's blood?" He asked, his eyebrows furrowed, we all turned to look at Eve. She pulled up her sleeve and unwrapped the bandage to reveal the claw marks. His face was so white, it was like he had seen a ghost.
"Last night, Eve was reading through the dungeons and dragons book and she found something about the demogorgan that we think could be related to Will." Mike stated, "Wait what? What is it?" I rushed out.
"Well it says that the demogorgan has the ability to harbour the body of a being through different dimensions if they have come into contact with it." Mike said reading from the manual. "Shit." Jonathan breathed.
"So what does this mean? Is Will becoming a demogorgan or what?" I asked in complete confusion. "I guess so." Mike said flipping through the pages, "No." everyone was startled when El spoke up, "Something is coming, something far worse than the demogorgan." She looked flustered and panicked, Mike jumped up and ran over to her, "What so you mean? What's coming?" He asked her, just as panicked as she was.
She marched over to the table, picked up the Thestlehydra piece and slammed it down on the table, "The storm."
