¡REWIND! Dustins Twin Sister

Jane (8)

     Eleven played with the broken tv for a minute to see if it still was working. A few minutes later she realized it wasn't going to work. El sighed and stood up realizing she was going to have to clean up the place, even if she really didn't want to. So she slowly started putting the place back together. Picking up the bookcases, and the stuff that was in it. She started sweeping up the broken glass and had to move a red arm chair to be able to get all of it. Jane ended up finding a latch, that peeked her curiosity so she opened it. She went down into the latch and found a box called 'Hawkins lab'.

Will was scribbling color aggressively onto the paper. Once his thought was drawn out he shoved it off of his desk and onto the floor.
Joyce walked in his room and gathered the papers together and walked back into the living room.
"It's just more of the same" she said to Hopper as she took a seat on the couch.
"It's nothing, it's just scribbles" Hopper told her.
"Wait" Joyce said and started going through the scribbled papers and pulled out one.
"These black lines see, the connect" she realized.
And that where the mapping game began of where the fuck does everything go. They placed the papers starting to connect the lines like a big big big ass puzzle. Soon they started to put it all together.
After a while they had the puzzle taking over the entire house.
"Does this mean anything to you?" Hopper asked.
"No" she shook her head.
"Is it some sort of maze or road. It's forking and branching like lightning." She added.
"Do you think it's the storm?" Hopper asked.
"The storm was different he used red and this is all blue and some weird dirt color. Maybe it's roots because he was saying it was spreading and-" Joyce rambled.
"Killing. Said they were killing. " Hopper said interrupting her.
"Vines" Hopper said and headed towards the door.
"Destroying vines" He last said before walking out the door.

The school bell rang as Lucas walked up to Max at her locker.
"Hey have you seen Dustin or Macky?" He asked the redhead.
"We're supposed to meet after class." He added. She slammed her locker door and walked away in response.
"Max!" He called and followed her out of the school.
"Hey Max. hey where you going? come on." Lucas tried to get her attention.
"We gotta go look for dart" He told her.
"Yea good luck with that" Max finally responded. Lucas kept following her.
"What is wrong with you?" He asked her catching up.
"What is wrong with me? What's wrong with you."
"I don't understand!"
"No! I don't understand" she said harshly. "You guys act like you want me to be your friend but then you just treat me like garbage!" She added.
"That's not true!"
"Yes it is! You just go and hid in the AV club keeping secretes like we're in second grade or something. I thought you guys wanted me in your party."
"We do. But-"
"But what!"
"There there are just things. Things we can't tell you alright? For your own safety"
"My own safety?"
"Yes!" Lucas said hoping her was making his point across.
"Because I'm a girl?" Max asked.
"What?! No!" Lucas asked in disbelief.
"Did you keep secretes from el?" She asked.
"How do you know about el?" He asked off guard.
"Did you?" She asked more firmly.
"That was different trust me. Okay? That was just just different." He answered.
"You know what forget it okay. I don't wanna be in your stupid party anyway. I'm out. Have a nice life." Max finished the conversation and walked off to Billy's car.
"Max!"
"You still stink by the way!" She said, which led him to smell himself and say 'aw shit'
"That kid you were talking to. Who is he." Billy interrogated the girl.
"No one" she answered.
"No one?"
"Just a kid from my class" Max replied and got into the car.
Billy lit his cigarette just before he asked another question.
"Why was he talking to you?"
"Just about some stupid class assignment."
"Then why are you so upset."
"I'm not." She stated firmly.
"He causing you trouble?"
"Why do you care?"
"Because Max you're a piece of shit but we're family now whether we like it or not meaning I'm stuck looking out for you."
"What would I ever do without-" she started sarcastically before Billy interrupted her.
"HEY!" He yelled and grabbed her wrist.  "This is serious shit okay. I'm older than you and something you learn is that there are certain type of people in this world  that you stay away from. And that kid Max." He held tighter onto her wrist and pulled her closer to him. "That kid is one of them." He added
Max unsuccessfully yanked her arm away from him.
"You stay away from him you hear me? Stay away." He shoved her arm away from him and started the car as max let a few tears down her cheeks.

    She went through every single paper she could in the Hawkins lab box, her curiosity had got the best of her.
"Ives" El whispered to herself.
"Terry"
She opened up the folder and looked through and saw pages talking about how Terry Ives claimed her daughter Jane was taking from her when she was a baby.
"Jane" she whispered.
She grabbed a photo of Terry Ives and a man who El knew as:
"Papa" she whispered.
Her eyes went to the tv, she knew it's was broken and it was hopeless. Soon her eyes wondered to a radio. Once she got it set to the station she needed she placed the small black radio on the ground. She then wrapped the blindfold around her head and focused, holding onto a picture of Terry and papa. El slowly brought the photo up to her heart. She then found Terry in a rocking chair, surrounded by much much darkness, rocking back and forth. Terry was talking to herself as eleven walked up to her.
"... rainbow... three to the right... four to the left... rainbow... three to the right... four to the left...four-fifty" After the four-fifty her eyes opened wide.
"Jane" She softly said. Eleven was standing in front of her at this point.
"Mama?" Jane spoke.
Jane slowly reached her hand out towards mama, and slowly touched her hand. A moment after she did she disintegrated out into thin air, leaving Jane's hand empty. Jane panicked and started screaming:
"Mama!" She waved her hands where her mom used to be as if she was going to come back. She slowly was walking backwards.
"Mama?!" She screamed again but this time it was more of a cry. She sat on the floor and let tears rush down her face. She yelled 'mama' once again, and there was still a disappointing silence after it. Jane took her blindfold off, back into reality, still crying.
