FOURTEEN

Lunch. What a painful moment for everyone in that room. Murray had made scrambled eggs, but would laugh every time he'd turn to see Violet or Nancy... he knew their secret and was enjoying making them awkward.

"We should call our parents and leave" Jonathan said breaking the silence.

"Yeah, I agree" Violet said standing up with the plate in her hands, as she walked towards the sink to wash it something came upon her.

A cold. She shivered, the exact sensation when she was at the lab.

"Vee, you okay?" Nancy asked standing up, Violet turned to look at her and shook her head.

Suddenly, things in the room started to vibrate. The forks, the table, fridge... everything. Theo believed it was an earthquake, until things started to levitate. Among those things... Violet started to levitate, just a couple inches from the ground.

After a couple of seconds everything fell into the ground, so did Violet. Nancy kneeled on the floor and tried to wake Violet up.

"Wake up... come on, Vee!" Nancy shouted, she looked at Theo waiting for an answer.

"Let's get going..." Jonathan said grabbing some of the bags from the living room to the car.

Jonathan had never driven that fast in his entire life, if it wasn't for Violet's unconscious body laying in the back seat or Nancy's constant pressure he wouldn't be driving like a 10 year old.

"You saw what she did" Nancy said looking at Theo on the shotgun seat "the room..."

"It levitated"

"But why?"

"El" Jonathan said "Eleven! She moved things remembered"

"But Eleven isn't here Jonathan!"

"Isn't she?" Jonathan asked "All we know is that Violet was stuck in the same hell that Eleven would visit..."

"What are you assuming..." Theo said.

"That maybe Violet catched whatever Eleven has--"

Violet gasped and raised up, she was awake.

"We need to get to Hawkins! Now!"

"Yeah where do you think we're going sleeping beauty!" Theo snapped "What the hell happened! Why are you moving things! What is wrong with you!"

"Relax! Theo!" Nancy said at him, she looked at Violet who was sweating like crazy and had a pale expression on her face.

"I've been wanting to tell you, Nancy" Violet said, ignoring the two boys in the car "It's not only episodes I've been having..."

"I can tell" Nancy said "But how is this possible!?"

"Jonathan! Hawkins! Now!"

"I KNOW!" Jonathan yelled, this was the first time the three of them had heard him lose his shit.

Jonathan parked outside of the Johnson's household, Theo helped Violet get out.

"You two find Will" Violet said, she was weak.

Theo opened the door as fast as he could, he got inside and dropped Violet in a couch. She was losing her temper. While Theo looked around the house for Douglas, Violet tried to relax.

Tic. Tac. Tic. Tac.

"That stupid clock" Violet groaned and stared at it. The clock breaks.

"Yeah, she's sick... to the lab? are you sure?" Violet could hear Theo talking through the phone from a floor away, which was messing her up big time. Her head felt like an empty space, echoing and bouncing every noise she'd received in that moment.
