the outcasts (3/5)

chapter three: unsolved mysteries

"where the hell were you guys?" hopper all but shouts as soon as the teens walk into the house.

each of them have a look of fear on their face, especially y/n, who has no idea who this man is.

"we, um-"

"who is she?" the officer cuts dustin off, eyes narrowing on the y/s/c skinned girl.

"h-hi... i'm y/n, jane's sister." four sends the older man a small smile, her fragile hands reaching to shake his.

he raises an eyebrow at eleven, but shakes the girl's hand anyway.

"you guys have got a lot of explaining to do."

"can we explain another time? we got invited to spend the night at a...friends." lucas scratches the back of his neck, making sure not to lock eyes with jim.

the rest of the teens nod, eyes wide and sweet in order to get him to agree.

"what friend? and if you want to go anywhere you have to tell me what you were doing."

they all sigh, sitting down on the couch across from the elder.

jane rests her elbows on her knees, "we were bored."

"yeah! we were bored, so we decided to go for a walk. a-and then-"

"i was being held hostage by the bad men. i escaped, but didn't know where i was. then i bumped into them." y/n cuts in, voice shaky due to nervousness.

"right, and eleven told us that she was her sister!" dustin grabs four's arm and shows hopper the numbers on her wrist, "so we kept walking, trying to get her as far away from the bad men as possible. we got really tired, though, and max realized that we were close to bill's hou-"

"denbrough? is that where you're going?" jim hopper cuts dustin off, eyes narrowed.

the curly haired boy nods, fearfully.

"alright, you guys can go. but only for this night. and i'm dropping you off and picking you up."

"yes, sir. thank you!" lucas all but cheers, ready to find his lost friend.

with that, the five teens run into eleven's room, packing everything they think they'll need.

due to the fact that they were all going to sleep over anyway, they all have clothes, with the exception of y/n, who will borrow from jane.

"got any weapons?" lucas asks the short haired girl, who raises an eyebrow.

"besides yourself and y/n." max chuckles.

eleven nods digging under her mattress and pulling out a rock slinger, a baseball bat, and a pellet gun.

the other's stare at her in shock, but she only shrugs, shoving it all into her bag as best as she can.

when they're all done, they head into the living room to find hopper, and then pile into the car.

"i just got some news." jim hopper sighs as he pulls the car out if the driveway.
