AMELIA, STEVE AND THE KIDS WERE walking on the train tracks, following the mini demogorgons to see what was happening.

When the boys started arguing about telling Max about the upside down, Amelia and Steve gave eachother a look. Then they heard a sound in the distance.

"Guys, guys!" Steve shouted. The kids turned to face him. They heard the sound again and walked towards it.

"Uhh Guys what are you doing?!? Why are you walking towards the sound?!?" Max sighed and followed them.

♡♡♡♡♡

They had been walking for a while now until they realised that they had ended up at the lab. Of course the lab was the cause of all this. They heard footsteps and turned around.

"Nancy?"

"Steve?"

"Jonathon!"

"Amelia!"

"What are you guys doing here?!?" The four of them chorused. Nancy spoke up, "Were looking for Will and Mike, do you guys know where they are?"

"Well by the looks of it I'm guessing in there," Amelia said, pointing her flash light at the powered out lab. After minutes of bickering about God knows what, Amelia walked through the crowd of people looking up.

"The powers back on." They all looked up to see that the lab had indeed lit up.

Jonathon walked up to the booth, attempting to open the gate that lead to the lab. Dustin walked up.

"Let me try Jonathon, God dammit let me try!" Jonathon looked up at Amelia. She shrugged and gestured for her to let the boy try. He moved and let Dustin try to open the gate. After a while of pressing buttons Dustin hit the booth. "Shit! Son of a bitch, you know that?!"

He went back to pushing the 'open gate' button and it surprisingly worked. He grinned ear to ear. "Hey, I did it."

Jonathon walked up to his car, Nancy quickly following him. "We're going up there to see what going on. The rest of you stay down here." Before anyone could protest, they sped up towards the lab.

After a few minutes of waiting, Nancy and Jonathon sped past them. And from what Amelia could see, Joyce, Mike and Will were with them. All of a sudden chief Hoppers car came speeding down too stopping in front of them. "Get in now!" Hopper shouted.

After getting all the kids into the back seat of the car, Amelia was about to attempt squeezing four people into a 3 seater when Steve pulled her into the front seat with him, putting her on his lap. They both blushed as hopper sped off, But not before giving the two a look.

"Hands were I can see them, Harrington."

♡♡♡♡♡

When they arrived back a the Byers house, everyone was already inside. Amelia had been caught up on the rest that happened with Mike:

Will wasnt having episodes. He was having visions and was now a spy for that shadow monster. Bob, Joyce's boyfriend had been eaten by demogorgons.

Amelia sighed before looking at Mike and pulling him into a hug. She had been worried about him and will. He hugged her back.

"I missed you Amelia."

"I missed you too."

♡♡♡♡♡

They had figured out a plan. Since will was now a spy he would tell the shadow monster where they were and demogorgons after them. So they had decided to cover there shed in cardboard so will wouldn't recognize were they were. Then in the shed they would interrogate will.

Mike, joyce, Jonathon and hopper went to interstate will while the rest of them stayed outside waiting.

Hopper walked into the kitchen to see Amelia pacing up and down. He couldn't deny that he was worried about the girl. Though he would never admit it, he had a special place in his heart for the Henderson girl.

She used to always get in trouble with the police and end up at the station with hopper. He knew what she had been through and always thought that it was his responsibility to take care or her, like he would for his own daughter. Because in a way, Amelia was his daughter to him.

"Rough day?" He asked sarcastically. She scoffed. "Well let's see, some mini demogorgon ate my cat, it then went after us in the junk yard and oh yeah, this shadow monster is gonna come here and kill us all, while were sitting her doing nothing." She replied, sarcasm dripping in her voice.

"Nothings gonna kill us, I'll make sure of that." She rolled her eyes.

"Oh yeah I forgot, you and the army right? Well look around Hop, there not coming anytime soon."

She looked up and saw the hurt on his face. She sighed.

"Sorry." He shrugged it off. She shook her head before walking over to the man. He reached his arms about and pulled her into a hug. "Its okay, I promise I wont let anything bad happen any of you."

She smiled up at him. "Thanks Hop." He smiles back.

"Anytime kid."

And with that, he walked out of the house to the back shed with the Byers. Leaving leaving girl knowing one thing, she could  always rely on Hopper.

♡♡♡♡♡

Around ten minutes later hoper burst through the door.

"What is it?"

Hopper picked up a pencil and peice of paper. He started drawing down lines and dots. "I think hes using code to talk to us," he quickly wrote down a word on a peice if paper.

HERE

"Wills still in there."

When will started coding things Hopper would code it through is walkie talkie to the others while they decoded Wills message.

CLOSEGATE

After the read it. The phone rang. Dustin picked it up and slammed it back down. When it rang again, Amelia ripped it off the wall and threw it on the ground. "You think they heard that?" Nancy asked.

Steve shrugged. "It's just a phone call, how bad could it be?"

They heard a low growl in the distance. Hopper, joyce and Mike came out from the shed and all gathered in the living room. Hopper carried two guns. He looked at Jonathon. "Can you use this?"

Nancy spoke up. "I can", she said as Hopper threw her the gun. They all stood in a line. Amelai  stood between Steve and hopper with my bat in hand. She pushed Dustin and max behind her and got ready.

The window smashed as a demogorgon flew through it and landed on the ground. Everyone looked at it. "Is it dead?" Max asked.

Hopper kicked it, and when it didnt move, he nodded. All of a sudden the lock on the door unlocked and the door burst open to reveal a figure.

Eleven.
