The New Raven

the twealfth

POV | Eleven

I go out of the house to find Mike waiting by his bike for me. I am so lucky to have Mike by my side all the time. He's so supportive and understanding. I love him so much.

"Hey El!" He says. "We just met 2 minutes ago. What's with the excitement?" He chuckles and pulls me closer to him. "Because I miss you everytime you leave my side." He whispered into my ear. I smile.widely and kiss his cheek.

We hop onto the bike and my hands sneak their way around Mike's waist. I lay my head on his shoulder and watch the moving scenery pass by my eyes.

We go into the woods that leads to my Cabin.  Out of the blue, a Demogorgon or "demo-dog" as Dustin calls it chases Mike's bike.

I use my powers and kill it. Soon after, about 10 more of those dogs are chasing us and Mike is hyperventilating. I use my powers to hurt every single one of them. My nose and ears begin to bleed. I slowly close my eyes with the world fading out of my view.

"El are you okay?" Mike asks. I mumble in response. Suddenly, he stops riding the bike and I feel him get off. I'm so drained that I don't bother to open my eyes to see what happened.

It was about 5 minutes till I couldn't hear Mike and then a handkerchief came around my nose. The next thing I know, is I'm unconcious.

****

I opened my eyes to find myself in a room. I got up and walked around the room and all the memories came flooding in. I'm in the Lab. I can't use my powers in this room.

I find a small vent sort of thing on the wall. I try to look through it and find a small figure slumped in the corner. Her hair was all over her shoulders as she slouched and sat on the floor.

She looked tired. I didn't want to disturb her so, I let it go.

I wonder what happened to Mike. I hope he's alright. Oh my God, he's not alright. I run over to the door and bang it with my clenched fists, "Let me out of here!" I scream.

"Hey kid! Shut up!" A man on the other end commands. I try hard to use my powers but it is impossible. "Don't even try. It drains you out more." The voice on the other side spoke. Kylie.

"Kylie, what are you doing here?" I ask through the vent. She looks up at me and makes her way to the vent. "When I was coming home from your cabin on Saturday, these men kidnapped me. They made me bring you to them. I'm sorry." She let out.

What? "What happened to Mike?" I asked sounding hysterical. "Jane, calm down. Mike's fine. He's at home in his room." She said.

"How did you know where I'd be?" I asked her. "Thats cause it was me riding the bike with you on it. I shapeshifted into Mike. I'm sorry Jane." She said the last sentence in a quiet voice. Quiet enough to miss she said anything.

I tried to look at her face through the vent. I closed one eye and looked through one of the holes. She looked hassled. She looked as if she had been crying forever.

"It's okay." I said back. I felt hurt that she brought me back here, but at the same time she's my best friend and she probably thought out everything.

"Kylie, what's wrong?" I asked her. She looks at me and says, "They made me bring you here by telling me that if I didn't, they'd kill my mother."

"Oh. But, it's okay you've saved your mother. Don't worry we will come out with a plan and escape." I say.

"But, they killed my mother anyways." She said the last sentence with a quivering voice.

"Oh Kylie. I'm sorry." I say to her.

I want to go over there and hug her. Just, be with her. I know that she brought me back to my worst nightmare, but she lost her mother. I met my mother only once or another time in the void. I know how much Kylie adored her mother. Her mother was just like me and fought her way out of this lab.

"Kylie, don't worry it will be alright." I say in a comforting voice.

"No it won't! My mother is dead and my father apparently escaped last year during the attack from the Upside Down. Now, I will never leave the lab. I will never have a family again." She yells I'm frustration.

"If we ever do get out, you can live with me. I'm sure Dad won't mind. Besides he already loves you as you have helped me study and he would love to have two daughters with superpowers." I say to her. She looks at me through the vent and says, "Thanks Jane."

"Why don't you call me El like everyone does?" I ask her curiously. "The same reason you don't call me Ten." She answers.

"Hey, can't they hear us?" Kylie asks. "Nope, it's soundproof so that they can't hear us scream, if we do." She says.

I wish we could use our powers. It would be so easy to escape.

"I met another one of us. Her name's Kali or Eight. She's part of some punk gang. The main guy who runs this place found her first and followed by us. I wonder what's he planning." She says.

"The Demogorgon is still here. I don't get it. I shut the gate like a thousand times, how do they grow?" I exclaim.

"Jane, Kali was behind those. She did the same to me." Kylie states.

The locked doors are opened and Papa steps into Kylie's cell. "Ten. It's wonderful meeting you. I met you when you were a mere baby." He says trying to you touch her cheek but she flinches away.

"I'm Dr. Brenner and oh boy, we are going to have a lot of fun. Isn't that right Eleven?" He states more than asks. "Anyways, here is your dinner." He says as one of the guards walk in with a plate full of white goo.

"Eat up." He says while leaving her door and locking it.

He comes into my cell next, "Eleven!" He says hugging me. I try to let lose, but his grip around me tightens. "Now, you know what is going to happen if you try to escape again, don't you." He says.

I nod in response. He also tosses me a plate full of the same white goo he gave to Kylie. "Eat up!" He says leaving my cell.

Ugh.
