In case you don't live forever

Chapter 12: Bad men

Peter's Pov:

Lucas put some supplies in his backpack and a bandana around his head. I walked into the Sinclair's bathroom and stole a bunch of medical supplies and put as much as I could into my fanny pack just in case either one of us got hurt. Once I did, I left the bathroom and joined Lucas back in his room. He led me out of the house and he grabbed his bike. As we walked out of his driveway we saw a man get out of a white Hawkins Power and Light van. He waved to us and we waved back to be polite before Lucas got on his bike. I got on behind him and wrapped my arms around his torso gently and we rode off.

"I have a terrible feeling about this, Lucas. W..what if we die? And.. and no one can find us. Or.. Or something else terrible happens like I don't know, one of us gets some weird disease from a plant or something" I complained as we walked through a forest following Lucas's compass. "None of that's going to happen Peter," Lucas told me and I sighed. As we walked we approached a wire fence blocking off an area. Lucas looked at his compass and sighed "Oh man." He started walking one way and I followed close behind him, not wanting to get lost.

We continued walking following where Lucas's compass was telling us to go. When we came to a turn Lucas started to walk but then turned around. "Why are we turning back?" I asked him. "Just give me a minute," Lucas told me. He stopped walking and looked through the fence. He pushed his bike to the ground and went to the nearest and biggest tree and started climbing. "Lucas, why are you climbing a tree?" I yelled. "Just follow me" He spoke. "Fine" I whined and started climbing the tree slowly. "I think that's poison ivy, and that's poison ivy and that's poison ivy because I am starting to get itchy" I complained, pointing to a few plants that were around the tree as I slowly climbed it. Lucas looked down at me in annoyance "Not every fucking plant is poison ivy, Peter." He continued to climb the tree and I tried to keep up with him. When we both got to the top Lucas pulled his binoculars out of his backpack. I quickly stole the binoculars from his hands put them to my eyes. I looked through them straight forward. There was a huge building, it looked like a lab or something. A few people were walking in and there were some white vans. The same van that the guy was coming our of back at Lucas's house. "Holy Shit. Bad men. They know about Eleven" I mumbled quietly freaking out. "What's holy shit?" Lucas took the binoculars from me and put them to his own eyes. "Holy shit." He looked at me and I started to breathe heavily and my heart started to palpitate. I was having a panic attack. I quickly grabbed my inhaler from my fanny pack and puffed it into my mouth. After a minute or so my breathing returned back to normal and I was calming down and suddenly I was on the ground. Covered in dirt and I was in so much pain. It was my right arm. I couldn't move it and it was limp. Tears started rolling down my face and I was screaming in pain. Lucas quickly climbed down the tree and came up beside me. "Ok, I am going to snap your arm back into place," Lucas said not really knowing what else to do. "Do not fucking touch me!" I yelled but he did it anyways. I yelped in pain as he snapped my arm back to its normal position. I was in more pain than before. Tears were streaming down my face and Lucas was trying to calm me down. He picked me up carefully and put me on his bike before getting on in front of me. He carefully placed one of my arms around him, left the other in front of my chest and rode away out of the forest. He quickly rode to the hospital and got me inside.

After about 20 minutes of being at the hospital, the doctors gave me a cast around my arm and Lucas and I left. They oddly never asked about where my parents were or to call them but it was ok because we had to get out of there pretty fast because we had to tell Mike and Dustin about the lab people. We left the hospital and hopped back on Lucas's bike and quickly peddled away.

Shorter chapter again sorry. I honestly had no idea how to end this one so I am sorry about that too.
