Still your POV

I don't remember how long it was until Mike got up and left to look for Nancy and Jonathan. 

He was gone for a few moments and then came back. "They're gone." he said as he approached us. "What?" Lucas said. "Nancy and Jonathan.His car's gone."
"You've gotta be shitting me." I said, lifting my head from Dustin's shoulder. "They're probablyjust sucking face somewhere." Dustin suggested. "Gross." Lucas and I said in unison. "-No. No way!" Mike disagreed. "Did they go with the chief?" Dustin asked. "I don't know."
"No," Eleven spoke up. We all looked to her. "What? Did you see them?Do you know where they went?" Mike asked. "Yes," Eleven replied softly. "Where? Where did they go?" Mike pressed on. "Demogorgon." E;even answered. Mike looked to us then back to El. 

Dustin, Lucas, and I stood up. "Guys, guys! This is crazy. We can't just wait around." Mike said. "Mike, in case you forgot,we're still fugitives. The bad men are still looking for us." Lucas said. "Yeah, and we don't even know where your sister is." Dustin agreed. "El can find them." Mike replied. "Mike, look at her." I said, pointing to El who was curled in a ball on the bleachers. "I still think we should stick to the chief's plan." Dustin said. "Exactly. We stay here,keep El out of sight and keep her safe. That's the most important thing, remember? Besides, she's okay.She's with Jonathan." Lucas replied. "Yeah, and she's kind of a badass now, so..." Dustin pointed out. "You only notice that becase you used to like her." I snapped. "What? No." Dustin disagreed. "I said used to. Not that you still do." I argued. "Still not true." Dustin argued back. "Will the two of you shut it?" Lucas barked. Dustin and I gave Lucas the stink eye and the both of us exchanged looks, nodded, then started to walk away from the group. 

"Well, where are you going?You just said stick to the plan!" Mike said as we were walking further. "I am. we're just gonna go get some chocolate pudding. I'm telling you,Lunch Lady Phyllis hoards that shit." Dustin replied.
"Are you serious?" Mike yelled. "El needs to be recharged!" Dustin replied. I looked behind to see that Lucas was following us. 

We got to the cafeteria and went to the kitchen. "Start looking." Dustin said and the three of us split up looking for the chocolate pudding. Chocolate pudding. That reminds me of whenever we'd go to Dustin's house to watch a movie and his mom would bring us chocolate pudding to eat during it. 

"Found it!I knew she was hoarding it." Dustin said as he opened the fridge. "I knew it."
"Yeah." Lucas agreed, licking his lips and started to grab cans of it. "Always lying, saying she's out. Bald-faced liar." Dustin muttered. He then looked behind him and screamed. "Mike, I found the chocolate pudding!" his voice squeaked. "Okay!" Mike screamed back. I chuckled as I grabbed cans of the pudding. 

Once we came back and dropped the pudding on the table Eleven was sitting at, Mike came in. "Guys! Guys!" he exclaimed out of breath. "What is it?" Lucas asked. "They found us." Mike replied. "Shit." I whispered loudly. 

We all charged from the cafeteria to find some place to hide. "How did they find us?" Lucas asked as we shuffled down some stairs. "I don't know,but they knew we were in the gym." Mike replied. "Lando." Dustin replied. We started walking towards an exit door, but Lucas stopped us when it opened and men started charging through. "Go, go, go, go, go!" Mike screamed as we all turned the other direction and started to sprint. We ran and turned the corner, but more men came, so we turned the other direction and started running again. Just then a woman with a  group of men behind her approached us. The lady had a gun pointed to Eleven, but Eleven shot them a death glare and something strange happened. They all started to bleed from their eyes. It was a disgusting sight watching them shake and quiver and fall to the ground. Then El did.

We all crouched next to her and Mike started to shake her. "El, are you okay? El! Something's wrong." Mike said. "She's drained." I replied. "No, no, no,she won't wake up. El!" Mike exclaimed, screaming her name. Mike leaned down and felt her chest. "She's barely breathing."
"We gotta go." Lucas said.
