DEEP END ~> MIKE WHEELER. (BOOK 2, SEASON 2)

CHAPTER FIVE

Trick or Treat, Freak

~

"When did I agree to this?" I asked, looking over at my mother who placed her hands on her hip, Mews meowing loudly behind her.

She had asked me to clean the kitchen, something about her being too busy and this would earn me some pocket money, even though I was going trick-or-treating with the others very soon.

"Don't be like that, Elizabeth." She spoke, picking up Mews. "Just do this one thing for me." She spoke before adding "please?"

"Fine." I sighed, giving her a small smile before walking towards the kitchen.

I stared into the mirror and sighed loudly, of course mother had made me dress up in a costume, but something less original since i was going as a vampire.

My mud brown hair was placed down over my shoulders, with two clips holding the two front pieces back. For my costume I wore a knee length black dress with white trainers. My makeup was dark and mysterious, well the best I could do with the makeup I had. The fake bite marks on my neck were drawn on with black eyeshadow.

"E, are you ready?" I heard Dustin ask while he knocked on my door before opening it, I turned to look at him and smirked before laughing at the expression on his face, total shock. "Wow, you can actually make yourself look less scary."

"Oh, haha." I fake laughed, picking up my black coat that was laying on my bed, I walked towards him while placing on the coat "but be serious with me, does this costume look good?"

Dustin rolled his eyes "yes, you look beautiful."

"I was going for scary." I muttered, following him into the living room, our mother was sitting there with Mews on her lap as per usual.

"We're going to Mike's." Dustin spoke up as he kissed her on the cheek "so we can all meet before Trick-or-Treating."

"Okay, dusty, be safe." She spoke before I walked over to her and kissed her cheek. "You too, Eliza."

"We will." I replied for the both of us, giving her one last smile before following Dustin towards the bikes.

The boys and I were waiting for Will to show up, I leaned into Mike's side, Listening to him tell me about how he tried to contact Eleven again last night, but of course he didn't get anything back. "At least you tried." I spoke up, leaning forward to place my lips on his cheek.

Mike turned his head to the side and smiled at me, leaning forward to place a quick kiss on my lips before hearing my brother groan.

"Please restrain from kissing my sister in front of me" He spoke while fake gagging.

"Dustin, you know I love you, yeah?" I asked, crossing my arms, Dustin nodded his head gently. "Yeah?"

"Please shut up." I responded, watching as he rolled his eyes. He was about to say something before we saw the familiar Byers car coming towards the house.
