Caught In The Loop | Steve Harrington X Reader

~16~ This Is Eleven

Hopper discovered he was speaking morse. Will said HERE and that he was still in there. Jonathan got a stereo and a tape and had put on Should I Stay Or Should I Go for Will to listen to.

For the next hour or so, people kept talking to him. Reflecting on memories that they had with him to help Will remember. Jonathan, Mike, Joyce. With every reflect, there was more morse code that Will had given out as he was unable to speak.

In the end up. We had two words. CLOSE GATE. The phone had rung and that also seemed to catch Will's attention. His eyes had gone up to the back of his skull and shut. He was breathing heavily when he was doing that and Hopper said that it knows where we were. It heard and it knows. Joyce had gotten the needle and put Will to sleep because of that. When we went out, we heard monsters screeching. We untied Will and got him inside the main house.

"Hey! Hey, get away from the windows!" Hopper yells.

My heart runs wild as I turn away from the window with Max, Mike, and Lucas. I give Max a nervous look before all four of us run into the other room.

Hopper then turns to Jonathan.

"Do you know how to use this?"

"What?" Jonathan asks dazed.

"Can you use this?" He asks.

"I can." Nancy speaks up.

The pressure is high and the atmosphere is tense. I give her a weird look as she takes the gun from Hopper. Steve has his bat. I get my assault rifle. Hopper also has an assault rifle.

We hear screeching in the distance as we look toward the front door and window.

"Where are they?" Max asks panicked as we hold our weapons high. I glance over and see Max standing behind Lucas. Lucas doesn't have a proper weapon, just a rock, and a slingshot.

That's cute.

I turn back front and look toward Steve. He nods silently, holding the bat high. I nod as well. Mike holds some kind of vase or glass as his weapon as our hearts pound silently waiting. With the voices of the monsters growling louder every second.

There's a loud thudding and everyone gasps, turning to the sound.

"What are they doing?" I hear Nancy ask.

There's a loud snarl which scares everyone to turn back forward again. We face the windows, eyes wide with terror. There seems to be a fight with the monsters outside with growling groaning and screams. At that moment, the screeching stops abruptly and my eyes widen.

"What else is out there?" I ask.

Suddenly there's a monster that is thrown through the window and everyone screams with terror and shock. I aim my rifle high to the creature that slides lifelessly on the floor.

Some of us pant, with me and Hopper standing in front and our eyes, are wide. The creature doesn't move. It sits there. Lifelessly.

Dead.

"Holy shit." Dustin puffs.

"Is it dead?" Max asks.

Hopper kicks it with his foot a little. Nothing. No movement. It squishes with a sloppy noise beneath him but otherwise. It's nothing.

We hear the door creak and everyone turns around to see what is happening. Tense. Scared. The door unlocks on its own and Lucas raises his slingshot.

Like that will do much damage.

Me and Hopper stand in front, raising our weapons high. The second lock slides on its own like a strange force is doing this. The door creaks open.
