Stranger things season 3

Episode 8: Connecting with the opponent (Part 1)

"Hopper, where have you been? I've been trying to reach you all day!" Joyce said impatient on the phone.

"Joyce there's something you need to see." Hopper said on the other line. "Come to the labatorie NOW! And bring will."

Before even properly hanging up the phone, Joyce woke up will and they went straight to the labitory.

When they arrived hopper was waiting for them outside. The day was cloudy enough for this whole event to be creepy. Rain started to drip from the sky as they ran inside.

"What's going on?" Joyce asked worried.

"This is big. This thing were facing, has gotten a hold on Will somehow." Hopper led them up to the experiment room. "They did some tests on will and the results aren't good." His voice was clear but worried.

"What do you mean?" Will said getting really anxious.

The doctor let him on to the examine table. They took his blood and hooked him up to the machines.

A million thoughts rushed into his mind. Was he going to be ok he must of thought to himself thousands of times.

"I'm just going to ask you questions ok?" The doctor reinsured him.

"Ok" Will shook his head

"So can you describe these dreams for me?"

"Well" he took a breath. "This time it's not a feeling. Its like he's with me, watching me." Will went silent.

"Watching you? What do you think he wants?"

"I don't know. I don't even know why this is targeted on me." He said in a raspy voice. Tears stinging his eyes.

"What if I told you that we had the answer?" Everyone stared at the doctor.

"We did some research and ever since the monster went in you it's not getting out. First it took you away."

As the doctor was talking, Will was having flashbacks. The memorie of him running back to his house because something was following him. With one flash of light he was gone.

"Then it got you. And then it connected with you... going inside you and making you turn against everyone..."

The flashbacks were getting worse. 'He likes it cold.' The thought of choking his mom scared him. All the things he didn't mean to do happened in the flashbacks.

"You..."

The room went dark. No one was there yet someone was talking. Will looked around trying to get up to escape but he was frozen.

"Will" the voice called in a taunting way. "You left the job undone. You have to finish what you started... I know you're weak." The words punch him through his gut.

The table he was on disappeared leaving him on the ground. He hugged his stomach in pain.

"I'm just going to get you. You will run but you will never truly ever get away from me. Finish the job Will. The soldiers need to pay remember. They need to pay for hurting you. Your weak let me make you better." The words echoed.

Will's heart raced a thousand beats per second. This was no flashback nor memory.

"G-go away. G-o-o-" Will couldn't finish the sentence with all the fear that was boiling up inside.

"You said that last time. You are still too WEAK!" The voice got louder at the word and
'he' walked in.

He was now visible to Will and not just me. He was communicating with him instead of going through me first.

Will tried to pick himself up. Looking for a way out. The words went through him more. Penetrating his brain. Weak. WEAK.

Will opened his eyes. The heart monitor was beating rapidly.

"Will!"

"Mom."

Joyce wrapped her arms around him. Will was balling. He was whimpering with all the fear that left him silent.

"I saw him again." Will said with every word barely getting through.

"What did he do?"

"H-he s-said I needed to f-finish the job." He stuttered.

"Did he say anything else?" she questioned.

"He said I was W...ea......kk"

"Oh honey." Joyce hugged Will.

By this point hopper joined the hug noticing the huge problem they were now facing.

"I'm going to kill this monster. I'll find a way and kill it."Hopper said, leaving the building determined.

"Stay at the hospital." The doctor explained.

The doctor took Joyce outside to talk.

"The energy that's around is the monster. He's hangout with the monster in away. It's in a discise. It's probably watching him from the upside down world."
