It was now eight forty five and the tanned boy was no where to be seen. The sound of the house phone caused the fuming blonde to whip her body around, yanking the phone off of the receiver.
She answered the phon...
Songs of the chapter: Queen ~ killer queen Billie Eilish ~ when the party's over
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
July 4th 1985 ~ Starcourt Mall
The party was now hiding inside of the mall, trying to protect Rose and eleven from the monster that inhabited the Californian boy.
They had split up into two groups, with Nancy, Johnathan, Lucas, and the scoops troop, heading to the upper level of the mall. While the others were going to try and make an escape, to get the girls to safety.
Mike and Seven were holding up Eleven, helping the injured girl walk. As they passed the gate that held their freedom they were met with Bill hargrove who was limping at a fast pace towards the small group.
"How the hell is he still alive?" Mike asked exasperated, as they turned back around, rushing past the gate, with Max pressing the button they would automatically lock it.
Seven felt herself start to cry as she fought every fiber of her body from turning around to help her love.
Billy pried open the gate, and stomped forward towards the group. The monster had full control over the boy's aching body, causing him to grunt with every step.
"Billy! Your name is Billy Hargrove and you're my brother, Billy ple-" Billy backhanded his sister causing her body to fall to the floor unconscious.
Billy screamed in his mind, wanting to turn around and help the red head, but the monster wouldn't let him as he continued to stomp forward, being met with Mike who made a failed attempt at stopping the older boy. Billy simply repeated the same action to the boy as he did his sister.
Seven could hear his boots stomping on the floor as her and Eleven hid in a dark storage room, keeping ad quiet as possible. The girls looked at each other in fear, when they heard the familiar screech of the mind flayer ring throughout the mall.
Seven shut her eyed tightly, squeezing her sister's hand tightly. Hoping they would all make it out of this alive.

Mark moved from behind the corner he was hiding under and pointed his gun at Joyce, Murray and Hopper who were putting on the uniforms of the dead soldiers.
"You must be Mark." Joyce said timidly as she held her forward showing him she wasn't a threat.
Mark furrowed his eyebrows and weakened his stance slightly.
"I'm, Joyce." He let out sigh of relief and lowered his gun, as he recognize her name from when Seven was explaining the events of last year.
"What are you doing down here?"
"Were trying to close the gate." Hopper answered causing Mark's eyed to widened slightly.
"Where's Seven?"
"She's safe and right now my duty is to keep you safe." Hopper replied as he kept the promise he made to Mallory on behalf of his daughter.

Billy had found them.
The boy snuck up behind Seven and hit her head to the wall causing her to pass out.
Eleven back away, trying to stop the inevitable.
"Billy, no!'' Her cry fell on deaf ears as she soon saw black.
Billy had the two girls over his shoulders and had now carried them to the main area of the mall where the mind flayer stood watching in all of it's glory. He rested the girls down and went to Eleven first who was starting to come to.
"Shhh. Hold still, it will be over soon." Billy's ominous voice said to Eleven as he pinned her down to stop her struggling.
"Please stop." She said with tears as she looked at the blonde boy, who she wanted to save.
The she remembered, the memory she saw when her and Seven went into his mind.
Billy flinched when the mind flayer was struck with fireworks by the remainder of the party.
Eleven took this as her chance to speak.
"Caviar and cigarettes, well versed in etiquette." She started to sing the song Billy and her sister were singing that day and Billy broke.
He stared at the girl with his own eyes now, his pupils going back to normal as he let out a shaky breath trying to gain full control over his body.
"She told you she loved you that day. She was pretty, she was really pretty, and you were happy."

Eleven placed a hand on his cheek and Bill closed his eyes as he felt the strings of the puppeteer snap, freeing him of it's control.
"She makes you so happy." Billy smiled slightly through his tears as he thought of his girl.
The moment was broken by the silence and the two teen looked to the mind flayer and saw that it was no longer being inflicted by the party.

Bills stood up in front of Eleven, as he faced the monster. He felt no fear, only anger as looked at the face of the beast that in some ways were like his father, he couldn't stop the man from hurting him, but he could stop this.
Seven's eyes fluttered open at the same moment, the tentacle of the monster started to descend on Billy. Her eyed grew wide as she watched him grab the appendage with his hands letting out a cry of pain as he used all of his strength to fight back.
"No!!" She yelled, shooting her hand forward using her powers to stop and hold back the other limbs that were about to impale him.
Eleven pulled Billy back as Seven was now using every ounce of her power to hold back the monster of her own creation.
She screamed as she used all of the anger from the memories she had and weakened the entity. She felt blood draining form her ears and nose, but she didn't stop. She looked like a broken Angel, built from death and pain, as the one of the monster's limbs descended on her small form impaling her stomach, and the cries of Billy and her sister could be heard as fought through the pain, killing the puppeteer as the gate closed.
Her body fell to the floor, the wound on her torso gushing with blood as Billy cradle her into his arms applying pressure to the open wound.
