Amnesia ~reddie~

torn

eddie had moved in with hopper and now finally, had a place to call home.

richie came over all the time which made eddie so happy.

but, he also felt guilty.

this was elevens dad. and she was stuck inside the lab. hopper wasn't even going to stay here. he only came here for el. their home was in indiana, not maine.

eddie felt like he was taking elevens life. he shouldn't be happy when she was still stuck in that horrible place. hopper said they had to wait until their plan could be enacted which wasn't much longer. a couple days at most. but eddie still felt horrible.

she was there all alone.

"eds?"

eddie blinked, turning to richie. "yes?"

"you were zoning out, my love."

eddie sighed. they were in eddies bed room. it was still pretty bare but it was something. hopper said they had to keep the door open three inches so he knew that they weren't having sex on the brand new mattress.

"are you okay?" richie asked.

eddie nodded. "i just want eleven to get out of that horrible place."

richie pulled the smaller boy in for a hug. "we all do. but were going to rescue her soon, okay? hopper said it would be two day at the most."

eddies eyes widened. "two days! that's great! i can't stand the thought of her being there any longer."

richie nodded and kissed eddie softly on the lips. "she won't be there for long because we are going to save her. so don't worry, love, she'll be okay."

~meanwhile~
eleven screamed, trying her hardest to get away from doctor brenner. "let me go!"

the old man just glared at her while he strapped her into a chair. "they're going to come back for you, eleven."

eleven returned his gaze with hate. "i told eddie not to. he's going to stay away. you're not going to get him."

doctor brenner laughed. "oh, he's coming back alright. and guess who he's bringing?"

elevens eyes widened fearfully. "max?"

doctor brenner shook his head.

"mike?"

he shook his head again. "he's bringing your fake dad."

eleven furrowed her eyebrows. "what do you mean? he's dead."

the old man just laughed. "oh no, he's very much alive. and when he comes here, we're going to kill him in front of you."

eleven screamed. "no! you're lying to me! he was killed!"

doctor brenner took a photo out of his pocket and laid it on the table for her to see. "that's edward kaspbrak and jim hopper talking. do you believe me now?"

eleven gasped, a tear running down her cheek. "he's alive."

"not for much longer."

"no!" eleven yelled, struggling against her bindings. "don't you dare hurt him! don't you dare hurt any of them!"

"i will, unless.."

eleven stopped struggling. "unless what?"

a nurse holding a syringe came in the room.

eleven shook her head, fearfully. "what's that?"

"do you want hopper to stay alive? and eddie? and max? and mike?"

eleven closed her eyes dejectedly. "yes."

she winced as the needle went through her skin and deep into her veins.

"don't worry, eleven, they're safe now."
