After Peter had pass out, El and Kali took him to the hospital where he could be treated. Kali and El went ahead to find the rest of their brothers and sisters.
Kali hitched a ride from the locals. All three travelled in car to the next destination they were heading to. Kali lied to the lady she was heading home and so was her friends.
Mike offered to pay the lady but the woman turned it down. Begging the kids to be safe and return straight home when she dropped them off. Kali politely smile and wait for the lady to leave. Kali lost the smile and walked on. El trailed behind holding hands with Mike.
"What ever we do or find? Just know I love you." Mike told El.
"What's wrong?" El asked.
"Nothing. I just wanted to say I love you." El smiled and so did Mike.
"When you two have stopped." Kali spoke out. Mike and El were quiet for the rest of the way.
The three teens turned up to an ordinary house. It looked posh and well looked after. From Peters house to Beverly's. These kids are very looked after.
Kali walked up and knocked several times. Someone came to the door and there stood a ginger haired lass. Short hair to the ears and a pretty girly dress.
"Can I help you?" She asked. Her voice was posh too.
"I'm Kali. This is El and this is Mike. We're here because we need you." Kali spoke out. El hid her face. Nervous for meeting a new person.
"Okay. Come in." She invited. All three teens entered and walked through towards the kitchen and sat down. Kali stood up leaning against the counter. Mike sat and El stood. Beverly walked through and turned her back to the three teens. "Anyone want anything to drink?" Everyone shakes their heads.
"We're good. We need to see your arm." Kali came out.
"What? What for?" Beverly turned.
"We need to know if youre part of us." Kali spoke. Beverly looked at each person before rolling up her sleeve and showed the teens her number mark.
"Six!" El spoke out.
"Where did you get it from?" Mike asked.
"I... I don't know. I was brought up in some hospital and since I left I never asked about it." She told them.
"It was a lab." Kali told. Beverly looked up. "Lab in Hawkins. They brought us up and tortured us." Kali told.
"How awful? I don't remember what happened there. It's a faint memory to me. I was brought up by my dad after I left. I kinda had a lot on to forget what happened at the hospital."
"Lab!" Kali corrected. El stepped forward.
"Papa! He brought me up. But I was ripped from my mama at birth. I was used and tortured for years." El told Beverly. "My mama was tortured too. She's in her chair stuck on rewind." Beverly was shocked.
"But... What do you want me for?" Beverly asked.
"There is something after us. After all of us because we are special. We have gifts that could destroy something bad."
"And evil." Mike but in.
"Are you one?" Beverly asked.
"No! I'm El's boyfriend." Mike got up and held Els hand.
"Wow!" She said.
"What gifts do you have?" Beverly looked at Kali weirdly.
"Gifts?" Beverly asked. Before Kali could expand a door was slammed and a bloke entered the house. Beverly stared at the guy. He looked at the three teens in his house.
"Bev! Who are these?" He asks.
"They're here for a donation." Bev lied.
"We don't need anything and we aren't donating." He spoke deeply.
"But...." Bev spoke before she was interrupted.
"What's he doing in my house?" The bloke asked.
"He's with them." Bev told.
"Get out! All of you! Get out!" All three teens head out. Kali looks behind one last time as she walks away and heads out. Kali and El stand close. Mike behind them.
"Who was he?" Mike asked.
"Isn't that her dad?" El asked. Kali looked in thought. "Kali!"
"Something not right." Kali spotted. She turned to the house and a loud scream was heard. Kali, El and Mike was shocked and ran into the house. They walked in and saw Bev stripped and her clothes was ruined. It was ripped on the sleeve and the chest. The man was laid on the floor with blood oozing from his head.
"What happened?" Mike asked shocked. Bev looked up at the teens.
"I'll join you. I can't take no more of this from him." Bev looked down at the man and then to El. Bev was hiding her gift from them. What was so special about Bev?
