I ran

I ran for a very long time until there was a stone beneath my feet that felt like tiny needles. I stood for a while looking back at the direction I had been coming from. When I knew they had not caught up to me I took a moment to observe the surrounding area.

There was green all around the trees and I could detect the different scents of each type if I focused enough. I saw three figures in the distance, illuminated by a bright light. I was about to start running again but instead, I decided to try and get help from them.

Soon enough three boys were in front of me with shocked looks on their faces. I went up to one boy with dark black hair in a bowl cut touched my middle and ring finger to his temple and closed my eyes.

'This can't be happening again, she looks just like El did when we found her, except apparently, they let her keep her hair. Not the point right now Mike! Who is She?' He Thought

"Please help me" I whimpered, tears threatening to spill from the corners of my eyes "I've been running for so long, I need to rest"

He looked at me, brows furrowed

"You know someone like me, don't you?" I ask. When he says nothing, I show him my wrist with my number, 012

His eyes widen to the size of saucers and he and his friends sit there looking shocked for a minute until we hear rustling from the trees and yelling.

Mike pulls me towards the back of his bike and I jump on, placing my hands on his shoulders because I saw in his mind he has a girlfriend and I don't want to disrespect that. He and his friends start peddling furiously. By the time I had caught my breath and looked back, there was nothing but the road.

When we finally make it back to what I assume is his house, I'm tired and collapse into the boy's arms.

The next time I open my eyes I'm lying on a couch and the boys are off to the side having a conversation in whispers. They must have noticed my shuffling because they looked at me with wide eyes and walked towards me.

They were silent so I started a conversation with "Thank You, Mike"

He nodded but then looked at me curiously "How do you know who I am?"

"I saw it, inside your head," I say, touching my head the way I did to his earlier

He looks at his two friends and they both just shrug, not seeing any way they could argue with that. I walk over to the toothless boy and gesture to his temple as a way of asking for permission without words. He nodded so I repeated my past actions and closed my eyes.

'This is so cool, Don't freak out Dustin! Steve's gonna flip when I tell him about this. I should probably ask him for some more hairspray next time I see him' He Thought

I giggled and he flashed that toothless grin I think I would be seeing a lot more of in the future.

"Hello Dustin," I say

"Hello-" He begins but then stops himself "What should we call you?"

I sigh "My Daddy always called me Twelve but I never really liked it. My Mommy named me Y/N in secret, I've always been quite fond of the name"

Mike butted in saying "You know your mom?"

I raised a brow "Yes, well knew. I was allowed to see her on Wednesdays and she would give a man an envelope of cash, I presume. But one Wednesday there was a gunshot and she never came back" I looked to the ground sadly and then looked to the one boy who hadn't talked

He looked back at me "No thank you, the name is Lucas"

I nodded "Lucas"

Mike began firing off questions "So you're from the lab? How can you talk so well? Why did you run away? What happened to you after the incident at the lab? Do you know Eleven?"

I answered quickly with "Obviously, They thought not teaching the children proper language turned out to be a bad idea, who wouldn't away from that place if they had the chance, I've been running since certain people still know of my existence, I knew her once"

"What do you mean 'Once'?" Dustin asks and I smile

"When we were little they let us play together, but since we were the later trials of abilities we were far more advanced than our siblings. Her abilities Physically, Mixed with mine mentally, We were unstoppable" I smiled at the memory but then that smile faded "After an incident with a security guard, they separated us forever"

The boys looked at me shocked but I decided it was my turn to ask some questions about this group

"Can you take me to her?"
