Chapter 14: Connection

"What do you mean?" Max asked, narrowing her eyes.

"My visions, my dreams." Erin said quiet enough, where no one could hear her.

"What?" Cassidy and Dustin turned to her simultaneously.

"They always had to do with what I saw, what I've seen in visions as well," Erin sighed. "I guess you never saw them."

"Is this the first vision you've never had with each other?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah." Cassidy nodded.

"What could this mean?" Erin eagerly asked.

"Let's not jump to conclusions." Hopper cautiously said.

"Hopper is right," Joyce paused. "The last thing we want to do is that."

"So what happened in your vision?" Max asked.

"Well it was mostly dreams, but people just went missing. Then I saw part of the upside-down, like there was the short haired red-head that was dragged from a pool. I never saw her again," Erin paused. "And then people we knew started disappearing. Teachers, classmates, even the mayor."

"Did you say a short haired red-head?" Nancy said with a soft voice.

"So that's how..." Steve sighed, wrapping his arm around Nancy as she cried.

"And then there was this premonition, Cassidy had woken me up and told me that it was time. Kali was in a coma or something, or maybe that might've been Will. Sarah was somewhere, and we were the last ones left." Erin added on.

"I saw that one." Cassidy nodded.

"I did too." Eleven stated, shocking everyone.

"Will had a seizure," Kali spoke up. "I was in a coma."

"And I was in the hospital." Sarah concluded.

"Don't tell me-" Will sighed deeply.

"We all had the same premonition," Erin sighed. "Which means it will most likely become true."

"What do we do?" Dustin turned to his girlfriend.

"I think we should wait," Nancy spoke up. "Everything that we've done in the past and failed at is because we did it on our own time. We need to wait until something happens, and then we take action."

"That's so dumb," Sarah sighed. "We have newer people with more experience, we should act now that we can."

"I have to agree with Nancy on this one, I think we should wait." Erin stepped into Sarah's vision.

"Erin, this is not your decision." Sarah snapped, everyone gasped as they knew what came next.

Erin's facial expression turned immediately to anger, "Excuse me?"

"Let the adults handle this one." Sarah muttered.

"You are stepping so out of line that you're practically demolishing the line," Erin sternly said, Sarah confused. "This isn't your decision, and you can't come in here acting like you know everyone when we found out who you are twenty minutes ago. This is my decision as I am one of the people to cause this decision, so I get a voice. Now know your place," Erin snapped, everyone staring between the two. Sarah backed down shamefully. She turned back around to face everyone. "Now I think we should wait."

"I agree." Dustin nodded.

"Me too." Max stated, looking at Lucas.

"I do too." Hopper nodded.

"What do we do in the mean time?" Will asked, crossing his arms.

"Do what we've been doing," Max shrugged. "Being stupid teenagers."
