People Like Us (Eleven/Jane)

Seven/Peter

Kali, Mike and El came towards a newly built house. Kali could sense someone lived here. Someone who could help Kali and El. They all walked up to the door. There was a pause in the group as someone had to knock. They all exchange looks and Mike goes to knock. The girls looked at the door waiting for an answer. What if they don't answer, El had thought.

The door opened just a crack and a little voice came out from the dark house.

"Hello?" He sounded. El looked to Mike and Kali.

"Hello! We're looking for our brother. You haven't seen him have you? His name is Peter." The door opened wider and a little pepite boy walked. He looked skinny and fragile.

"I am he." He spoke. His hair was short and blonde. Bleached blonde. El examined him. There was something off about Peter. But she couldn't put her finger on it.

"What happened to you?" Kali asked.

"What do you mean?" Peter asked.

"Look at you! You look weak and there's a black bruise on your left eye." Mike stated.

"What?" Peter looked confused at Mike for a second. "Who are you guys?"

"I'm Kali. This here is Jane. But she prefers..."

"Eleven." Eleven jumped in. Peter looked to El and there was a pause. He looked down and rolled up his sleeve on his left arm. There he showed them his name tag. 007.

"Seven!" El spoke. Kali looked and then turned to Mike and El.

"A word please." Kali took El away from the two boys and went to discuss in private.

"Kali!" El spoke shocked by how Kali was dragging her.

"That's Peter. Our brother. He has powers. He can help us." Kali told El.

"But..." El looked towards Peter."He's weak!" El spoke.

"Then we help him hey better. We can't leabe him here." Kali and El agreed and returned back to the porch.

"Peter! You're coming with us. We c a help you." Peter shined away.

"I don't want help." Peter muttered.

"You look weak! We need your help to defeat the evil." Kali spoke.

"The evil?"

"The upside down. I opened the gate and now I let all the monsters out." El spoke."We need help from ouf brothers and sisters. We need your help."

"How?"

"You have gifts. Powers. Have you evef felt an urge inside that could burst?" Kali asked.

"Sometimes. When I'm angry." Peter told.

"We need whatever you have to help us close the gate for good." Kali spoke.

"Why not yourselves?" Peter asked both the girls.

"Because it doesn't work." El answered Peter. Peter stood thinking and he had a really bad headache. He groaned in pain and fell to the ground. Kali and El catched Peter and sat with him.

Mike ran inside Peters home for anything to help Peter wake up. He grabbed water and noticed the mess. There was so much rubbish everywhere. There was a board with bad men and Hawkins lab on. Peter had been studying these and it looks like he wasn't taking care of himself. Did he live alone? Or does he have someone else living with him?
