Joyce's POV

I ran into Wheeler's house and dialled my home number. "Byers residence, Jonathan speaking." "Jonathan, sweetheart, it's Mum, could you please get your brother on the phone." "Sure thing. Will, it's for you!" yelled Jonathan. "Mike, Dustin, Lucas? Is that you?" asked Will, enthusiastic. "No, baby, its Mum, I need you to come over to the Wheelers. It's an emergency. Please, baby." "What? Is Mike in trouble?" "No, someone else. Someone who we think is in the Upside Down." "I'm, I'm coming over now Mum." stammered Will. Less than five minutes later, Will had arrived. "Show me the problem." I lead Will out to the shed.

Mike's POV

"What's wrong?" asked Will. "Well, a girl Mike bumped into on the way home, she came home with him and introduced him to Dustin and Lucas. We wanted to give you some alone time with Mrs Byers seeing as you've just come back from, you know, the Upside Down." explained Nancy. "Okay. So why do you need me here?" "Remember when you communicated through Christmas lights last year with me?" asked Mrs Byers. "Y, yeah." "How did you do that?" I asked. "I was in the house at the time but not in your dimension, in the Upside Down. I was holding on to the Christmas lights and spoke into them. But I think what you need to do first is Nancy, go and check if the person is where you sent them or where they're supposed to be."

Nancy ran out of the shed and back into the house. "Mike, who is this girl?" "Okay, her name is Fifteen and she has psychic powers like El." "So she ran into you on the way home and she didn't seem suspicious at all?" "I mean, she was in a hospital dressing gown." "Did she seem lost or disorientated?" "Yeah." "Was she scared?" "Very." The shed door opened and slammed shut. "She's not anywhere in the house Mike. Hang on, do you feel that?" said Nancy, rubbing her neck. "There's a bit of chill." I said. "She's trying to send you a message. This girl is trying to tell you that she's here." Suddenly the lights switched on

W-I-L-L-B-Y-E-R-S-H-E-L-P-M-E-I-A-M-S-T-U-C-K

"I'm here Fifteen. It's alright. Are you in the Upside Down? There should be sort of vines and dust surrounding you and it should seem like there has been an a apocalypse."

W-H-A-T-I-S-A-P-O-C-A-L-P-S-E

"I should've mentioned. She doesn't have a very big vocabulary." I explained. "Okay, sorry. What's your name?"

F-I-F-T-E-E-N

"How do you know who I am?"

T-H-E-N-A-M-E-W-I-L-L-B-Y-E-R-S-I-S-W-H-E-R-E-I-A-M

"Could you answer my question from before?"

I-T-I-S-D-E-S-E-R-T-E-D-I-A-M-B-L-A-C-K-H-E-W-I-L-L-K-I-L-L-M-E-T-H-E-R-E-I-S-D-U-S-T-E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E

"She's in the Upside Down." declared Will. "So how do we get her out?" asked Nancy. "You can't. You can't just go in and out but I was stuck in there for a year and it seems like she's been in there for four months already from what Nancy showed me. It wanted me because I was alone but I don't know how it got a hold of Fifteen. She was in a full house." "My room has a window and there was ladder leading up to the window. It was for someone to get in." "Who? Steve? So you can study human anatomy? This is all your fault Nancy!" I screamed. "Guys! It was going to take her either way and that's how it took her. It snuck through Nancy's window and took her. Why is she called Fifteen? And why did she say she was black?" "She has a tattoo that says one dash zero fifteen. She says her name is Fifteen but she prefers (y/n) or (n/n). She has psychic powers. So she's almost the same as Eleven except for the fact that she's older. She can change objects into people's fears. The black thing I have no idea about." "How do you know this?" asked Will. "She showed us." "Who's us?" "The Party. We wanted to leave you and Mrs Byers alone since you've just come back." Will nodded solemnly. "So how did you get out of the Upside Down?" asked Nancy. "He didn't want me anymore. After the year I was missing he realised I wasn't good enough anymore. For a whole month I had to look after myself and that was the loneliest I've ever been but I got to my house through the Upside Down. I was in the Upside Down version of my house. I slept there and somehow found food. He didn't like that. He got rid of me. He did mention capturing a girl, but not by speaking, but through morse code." "Who is he?" asked Joyce. "It's hard to explain, Mum." Joyce just nodded.

"Fifteen, hello, are you still there?" asked Will. Suddenly all the lights started flashing. I ran out to the house and it was happening inside as well. Joyce burst into tears. "She's, she's, she's in danger." stammered Joyce. "What do you mean Mrs Byers?" I asked. "When Will said 'Run' through the Christmas lights, everything started flashing. All the lamps and lights, everything." said Joyce through tears. "She's being hunted by him, no doubt." "So? What? Do we call the others? Do we call Dustin and Lucas?" "Yeah, and what are they gonna do?" asked Nancy. "I don't know! But they may be able to help, you never know." "Mike, there's nothing they can do. He's hunting her and he is after her. He's trying to injure her. He's trying to injure her so he can manipulate her. Fifteen's trying to warn you." "Warn us about what, exactly?" I asked. "Something's coming to Hawkins and it's after her."

Mum suddenly ran out of the house. "Mike? Nancy? What's wrong with the lights in the house?" I just looked at Nancy. "What? Do you two know something?" "Karen. Do you remember when I had all those lights up last year?" "Yes. But what exactly does this have to do with the lights in my house, Joyce." "At one point Will said through the lights 'Run' and then the lights all suddenly started flickering. The lamps, the Christmas lights even the lights installed in the ceiling." "But why Joyce? Why did they do that?" "Mum, you know that girl I brought home?" "Yes." said Mum cautiously. "Mrs Wheeler, she's in danger. The creature that took me and held me captive last year is hurting her. It wants to use her, it wants to torture her so that he can manipulate her. But most of all, it's a warning. She's saying that something is coming to Hawkins and that it's coming for her." "But why tell us?" "Because we're the only people she knows, apart from Lucas and Dustin, and she wants to warn us. She only wants to warn us. Like how Will warned Mrs Byers last year." "Exactly." said Will, confirming what I said. "She's in the Upside Down, she's trapped in what looks like an apocalyptic world. It's like an alternate universe, Mrs Wheeler. Fifteen has made her way into your home in the Upside Down and that's how she's been communicating with Nancy as well as us. But he's found her and she's in danger." "What can we do?" asked Mum. "Nothing. I'm sorry Mrs Wheeler but you can do nothing." "Will she be safe?" asked Mum. Will sighed. "No." Suddenly all the lights turned off. "Do you reckon that's a fuse?" "Karen, I highly doubt a fuse caused all your lights and lamps and Christmas lights in the shed to switch off." "Mike, with me, now. We need Dustin and Lucas." "Woah, woah, woah. If the four of you are going to look for Fifteen, we're getting everyone else on the case." said Joyce. "She's dead." I heard Will mumble. "What?" asked Nancy.  "Mrs Byers, really, Nancy and I really appreciate you coming over but we don't need the whole town looking for her." "No, if she is where Will said, where Will was, we need to find her. I don't know about you, Karen, but I am going to stop at nothing to find this girl." said Joyce, determined. "Okay, okay. Alright, fine. If you're coming Mrs Byers, get Jonathan on it as well." I said.

Hey Guys I know I have taken FOREVER to update this as well as my Harry Potter x reader and my Ron Weasley x reader but for this one I wasn't sure whether I should split this in two. I was originally supposed to have this one and chapter together but decided against, wanting to make sure you guys actually had something to read. Love you guys! Goodbye for now but not forever.
