EIGHTEEN

Eleven had asked Joyce for all the radios she could find in the house, anything that would create a flickering, static noise. Eleven soon figured out that Violet was still in danger and that she could not help her any further if she was still connected to Will.

For now, both girls sat down in a bathtub, surrounded by walkie talkies, radios and old christmas lights.

"Close your eyes" Eleven said, holding Violet's hand "Concentrate on the static"

Violet did as Eleven told her. She blocked any sound or any thought that would distract her and focused on the sound.

"Visualize Will" Eleven said, her voice echoing for Violet was no longer in that lab with her. She was in her mind, or the mind that attached her to the upside down.

Violet and Eleven stood up, they were still in the same bathroom, but in the upside down. Both girls walked outside from it, the house of Joyce was cold, none of the children where in the home and it was eerie.

Violet opened the door that lead to Will's bedroom, and in there she saw the small kid. Hiding under the bed, while the dark monster screeched on top of him.

Violet noticed a string that tied Will's leg to hers, they both run towards him. He's scared, happy to see them but scared. Violet held him in her arms, this was the one hug she had been waiting for the entire night. To feel Will's body intertwined with hers, the brotherly connection the two of them had was too strong.

"Will, I need you to be strong" Eleven said as she grabbed the string that tied both of them.

"What are you doing..."

"It's for our good, Will" Violet said "I need to help El"

"Y... you can't do it! You linked me to the real world! I'm scared!"

"Will, we'll get you out of here... you need to focus and listen to your mom, okay" Eleven said, tearing the string appart. She grabbed Violet. And they snapped back.

Violet is breathless, she is scared for Will. Eleven hugs her, they both stay in that position for an entire minute.

The party was about to divide, once again. Jonathan, Nancy and Joyce would take Will to Hopper's shack in the middle of the woods, there they would commit the exorcism as Violet insisted on calling it. The rest would stay home, but Douglas was insistent of coming with Hopper, Eleven and Violet.

"Hey..." Violet walked towards Nancy, they both hugged and stayed like that for a minute.

"Please be careful" Nancy whispered to her, their faces were inches apart.

"I will" Violet said, she kissed her softly in the lips and squeezed her hand before running to hug her father and Theo.

"I want you back at 10 o'clock" Douglas said, causing Violet to laugh.

"You know I won't" she said, tears streaming down her face.

"Just be back" Theo said "We can't lose you again"

"Alright, don't worry..." Violet said.

She turned around and got into Hopper's van, looking through the window at the rest of her friends, unsure if she was going to come back alive.

They parked outside of the laboratory, the same one that gave Eleven nightmares and would make sure to give them to Violet from now on. Violet can tell by the look on El's face that she is scared, probably afraid that something from her past would come to her, so she grabbed her hand, pressing it real tight.

"You girls save your strength, I'll do the heavy lifting upfront" Hopper said as he cocked his shotgun "You okay?"

Eleven let go of Violet's hand and walked inside.

Hopper leads the way, on guard. As they walk down the stairway they see blood and hear someone panting, Hopper points his flashlight at the body that is trying to crawl upstairs.

"Stay here" Hopper said.

Violet poked Eleven's arm, trying to get her distracted.

"Hey, have you ever gone shopping?" Violet asked, causing eleven to shook her head- still looking at Hopper.

"No"

"We should go right after this mess ends" Violet said "It will be fun, girls night"

Eleven smiled at her and nodded, but she still was listening to Hopper's conversation with the dying man... something that had to do with her, living a normal life.

Will Byers body is in pain. He is burning, screaming for help. Theo Johnson tries to get Jonathan Byers to focus and not succumb into the cries of his brother's vessel. Theo and Douglas decided it was best to join Nancy and Joyce and help Will out, more human heat meant more the burning sensation in Will.

"There needs to be more heat!" Douglas yelled, drenched in sweat.

"Are you kidding me!" Jonathan yelled back "This is not working! Mom we got to stop it"

Theo grabs Jonathan's sweaty shirt and pulls him back, he pushes him into a wall and tries to get him to concentrate.

"That thing is not your brother, Jonathan Byers!"

"Look!" Nancy points at Will's neck which has black veins, popping form the heat. The creature was trying to leave his body, lights started flickering.

Will snapped and freed himself from the chains that tied him to the bed. As Joyce tried to stop him, Douglas noticed Will tried to reached for her neck, so he pushed Joyce aside, causing Will to choke him instead.

Nancy grabbed a stick from the fire chimney and burned it into Will's skin, causing him to screech in pain and set Douglas free. Joyce grabbed him, trying to protect him, and the black monstrous dust that lived inside Will's body escaped to the woods.

Jonathan and Theo quickly unplug every heat machine and Nancy opens the door to allow some air in. Joyce hugs her son,

"Chief are you there?" Theo asked as he pressed the channel 10 on the walkie talkie "Chief do you copy!"

"Yeah I copy..."

Theo looked at Jonathan, he nodded at him with a smile on his face "Close it"
