The electricity started to surge, the lights went out.

Everyone looked up for a second before looking back at El.

Minutes passed before she spoke.

El started to pant unevenly, causing Jess to go where Joyce was.

The electricity purged again, this time more frantic.

"Is Barb okay? Is she okay?"

"Gone. Gone. Gone." Eleven says, getting louder every time she said it.

Nancy gasped, placing her hand over her mouth.
