Bookworm & Toothless (Stranger Things AU) #Wattys2018

[17]

El was sitting in the forest, eating the Eggos she stole from the store when she heard Dustin yelling out for her from a distance.

Then it was followed by Mike calling out to her as well, making her chewing slow.

She stopped when she heard Jess call out to her as well, calling her-

"¡Once!"

"Eleven! El!"

"El!

"Eleven!"

"¡Once!"

"Eleven!"

Mike stopped, turning to Dustin and Jess.

"Hey, stop. Do you hear that?"

"What?"

"El!"

Jess looked around, swallowing.

"El?"

Mike looked around, freezing when he saw James and Troy.

Jess' breathing became heavy, panting quickly in fear.

"Hey, there, Frogface, Bookworm."

Jess gasped when she saw Troy had a knife.

"Toothless."

"Shit! Run, Jess! Mike!" Dustin yelled, grabbing onto Jess' shoulder, all of them abandoning their bikes as they ran the opposite direction.

"What?"

"Run! Come on!"

Jess was crying, running at full force, outrunning Mike and Dustin by a few feet, making sure to look back to check if they were still behind her.

"You're dead, Wheeler, Hernandez!"

"Move, Mike! Jess!" Dustin yelled.

"Mike, Jess, come on, run!"

Jess and the boys were running side by side, Jess still crying from fear since Troy was behind them.

Dustin groaned.

"Cramp!"

"Just keep going!" Mike yelled, Jess, grabbing Dustin's hand and pulling him with her, not wanting Troy to get him.

"Keep going!"

Jess could hear Troy catching up with them and that only made her run faster, pulling Dustin with her.

The three of them stopped when they saw James come from the direction they were headed.

"Shit!" Dustin exclaimed.

"Fuck!" Jess cries, panicking.

Jess and Mike both grabbed rocks, while Dustin grabbed a stick.
