Chapter Six:The Spy

I opened my eyes, sweat dripping into them, the white hot pain still there, and heard voices shouting around me...I was still screaming, and I could hear Will screaming, too...I felt myself being lifted, and then set down again, and white walls rushed by me...I heard Mom shouting to Will, and Mike yelled at me,"Hold on, Sarah!" The pain was so bad, tears streamed down my face, and I was gasping for air...Someone lowered an oxygen mask on my face, and blissful air went into my lungs. We raced around a corner, and then into another room. I was put next to Will, and I managed to grab and hold his hand. A woman yelled,"Vitals?" One woman said,"His heart rate is two twenty, temperature one hundred and six." Another said,"Her heart rate is two forty, and her temperature is one hundred and eight." I could hear beeping all around us, and a lady asked,"Where does it hurt?" Will said,"All over." The pain was so intense, I couldn't even answer...A man yelled,"He says it feels like he's burning all over! Check them for burns!" I felt something cut away my clothes, and they said,"I don't see anything!" A lady asked Will,"Where does it hurt the most, Will?" Will screamed,"Everywhere! Everywhere!" I felt a needle slide into my skin, and then, darkness...

I opened my eyes to a blinding white light, and blinked...I heard Will say,"Mom?" I turned my head, and Mom asked Will,"Hey, sweetie. How are you feeling?" I whispered,"Mom?" She looked over at me, and said,"Sarah...Sweetie..." I asked,"Where am I?" She said,"The lab." At that, I tried to sit up, but Bob came over, and said,"No, no,no...Don't sit up..." He looked at me sadly, and suddenly, I knew...I said,"Mom...You told him, didn't you? About me? And Will?" She nodded, and Will asked,"Who's that?" He was pointing at Bob. Mom asked,"What?" Bob said,"It's me, big guy. It's Bob." He went to touch Will's hand, and Will jerked back...Will asked,"Are you...A doctor?" Bob said,"No, no, it's just me. Just Bob." Will looked at him, confused, and Mom's face was filled with worry and fear. Mike looked confused, and scared...

A doctor came in, and I found out his name was Dr. Owens. He sat down next to Will, and shined a light into his eyes. He asked Will,"Do you know your name?" Will answered,"Will." Owens asked,"Your full name?" Will answered,"William Byers." Owens asked,"And do you know who I am?" Will answered,"A doctor." Owens asked,"Have we met before?" Will said,"I don't remember." Owens said,"Hmm. You don't remember me? Okay. How about uh, this guy over here?" He pointed at Mike. Mike waved at Will, and Will looked at him. Owens said,"It's all right. Take your time." Will said,"That's my friend. Mike." Hopper smiled, and asked,"What about me, kid? You remember me?" Will shook his head. Hopper said,"They tell me you helped save me last night. You remember that? You remember anything about last night?" Owens asked,"You remember anything about last night?" Will answered,"I remember...They hurt me...And Sarah...." Everyone looked at me... Owens asked,"You mean the doctors?" Will said,"No...The soldiers." Owens asked,"The soldiers hurt you both?" Will said,"They shouldn't have done that. It upset him." Owens said,"You said upset him. Is that him?" He handed a picture to Will, and Will nodded. Owens showed the picture to me, and I slowly nodded...It was a picture of the drawing of the Shadow Monster...

Owens said,"Okay. I wanna try something. It may seem a little weird at first, but I think it'll helo us understand a little more what's going on. Is that okay?" Will said,"Okay", and I nodded. A man wheeled something into the room, and Owens said,"Now Will, Sarah, I want you to let us know if you feel anything, okay?" Will and I nodded...The man by the tank thing lit a small fire, and my breath quickened...They could hear my heart speed up, and they looked at me...The man lowered the flame a little, and Owens asked,"Do you feel anything?" I felt a burning in my chest, and I nodded...Will said,"It stings a little." Owens asked,"Where?" Will said,"My chest." His heart rate sped up as mine did...Owens said,"Okay, kids..." Mom whispered,"Sweetie..." The man lowered the flame a little more, and my whole body tensed, pain growing...Owens asked,"How about now?" Will said,"It...Burns.." I said,"It's burning me..." The man lowered the flame even more, and I arched my back, the pain growing hotter in my body...Will said,"Ah!" He arched up too...Will said,"It burns." Owens asked,"Where?" I shouted,"Everywhere!" Mom said,"That's enough. That's enough!" The man kept lowering the flame, and my body shook from the white hot pain, and I screamed...Hopper yelled at the man with the flame to stop, and he did...Instantly, I sank back into the bed, sweat dripping down my body, and I was shaking...Mom looked at me, then Will, and told Will,"Sweetie...Sweetie, it's okay." Mike came over to me, and said,"It's okay, Sarah...It's okay..."

I laid back my head, and the monster's voice said,"Mine...My child..." I closed my eyes, and fell asleep...Darkness flashed through my mind, and I felt myself running, and then, a mirror was in front of me...I looked into it, and saw myself...My eyes were pure black, my canine teeth were sharp, blood stained my clothes, and black ran up and down my arms and legs...And behind me...Behind me were the bodies of everyone I loved and cared about...I looked up to see the Shadow Monster above me, its arms reaching for me, and I screamed,"No!" I shot up in the bed, my clothes sticking to me, and my heart pounding...Will, Mom, Hopper, and Bob were gone, but Mike was still with me...He looked at me, and asked,"Hey, Sarah, are you okay?" I looked at him, and suddenly, could smell him....Warm, tender, and juicy...I looked away from him, and asked,"Where's Will?" Mike answered,"He thinks he can stop the Shadow Monster...He went to tell everyone...Your Mom asked me to stay with you..." I told him,"You might...You might want to wait outside..." Mike asked,"Why?" I whispered,"Because...He wants me to eat you..." Mike stood, and walked out the door, and said,"I'll be right out here..Okay?" I nodded, and he shut the door..I closed my eyes, taking deep breaths, as the hunger grew and grew...I managed to get it fade a little, but it didn't go away completely....

Later that night, Will, Bob, Mike, and I waited in the room, while soldiers went into the tunnels, looking for the place Will told them about. I looked at Mom, and said,"Mom.." She asked,"Yeah?" I said,"Um...I'm hungry.." Mike looked at me, and told Mom,"It's part of her...Like Will...But she was made from Demogorgon DNA...So...She's part Shadow Monster too...And she needs to feed...Or she'll starve..." Bob asked,"What does she need?" I swallowed hard, and whispered,"Blood..." Bob asked,"What?!" I repeated,"Blood...I'm sorry..." Mom said,"No, no sweetie, it's not...Not your fault...It's the way you are..." I whispered,"I'm a freak...I'm part of that thing that's hurting Will..." She said,"It's hurting you too..." I cried,"I would rather die and take all the pain that thing is causing, than have Will get hurt..." She hugged me, and Bob disappeared, coming back minutes later, holding a cup...I could hear liquid sloshing inside, and smell the blood...I took the cup, and said,"You might..Might not want to look..." I closed my eyes, as they all watched me, and drank the blood down...The hunger instantly faded, and Mom threw the cup in the trash... Bob said,"Well, that was...Something..." I closed my eyes, and felt tears run down my face...Oh, Will...What that thing made him do...Will sobbed,"I'm sorry..." Mom asked,"What? What do you mean, sweetie?" I opened my eyes, and saw Will shudder..."He made me do it." In my mind, I could hear the growls of the monsters, my siblings, as they approached the soldiers inside...I whispered,"They're all going to die down there...And he wants me to kill, too...He's calling me, and I can barely stop myself from going..." Mom looked at me, then asked Will, "Who? Who made you do what?" Will whispered,"I told you...They upset him..." I said,"He wants revenge..." Will said,"They shouldn't have done that. They shouldn't have upset him." I watched as realisation grew on Mike's face, and he said,"The spy. The spy!" He shot up, and raced out of the room, and I whispered,"Too late, Mike...Too late..."

   I watched my brother crying, and I closed my eyes, feeling each claw, each tooth, each rip of the monsters, as they tore into the soldiers...And...I enjoyed it...I could taste their blood, and hear their screams, and in that moment, I was afraid of myself...I heard Mom telling Will,"Will, sweets, talk to me. You've gotta help me understand." Will said,"Too late." As they finished off the soldiers, I opened my eyes, and whispered,"Run..." Will told Mom,"You should go now. They're almost here." Mom gasped softly, and I felt the monsters climbing up the walls, and said,"Ready or not, here they come..." I looked at Mom, and she looked at me, her eyes wide...I closed my eyes, and slowly smiled...
