Rosalyn Henderson loved her brother and mother and that why she hated how she felt trapped by responsibilities that someone her age shouldn't have. Because of those responsibilities, she was going to be trapped in this feeling of misery forever. It...
"What is that?" Erica stares down in disgust at El's leg. Mike and Lyn were on either side of El holding her hand.
"There's something in there." Robin watched as something slug shaped moved around in her leg.
"Oh, my poor baby," Lyn kisses El's forehead.
"No!" She screams from the pain.
"Keep her talking. Keep her awake, okay?" Jon told them. He got up and ran to one of the food vendors.
"Stay awake, stay awake. Let's get her on this side." Mike looks at Lyn. He nods his head in the direction he wanted her to go. She nods her head and puts her arms under El ready to lift her.
"I got her." Steve taps her shoulder. Lyn looks at him for a second before nodding. He would have an easier time carrying her then she would. "Easy, easy, easy, easy," He told the boys that were helping move El.
"You know, it's not actually that bad. There was a ...the goalie on my soccer team, Beth Wildfire, this other girl slid into her leg, and the bone came out of her knee, six inches or something, it was insane." Robin rambles on. Everyone gave her a look of disbelief, who in their right mind would think a broken bone is worse than a monster living inside them.
"Robin." Steve cut her off to stop her from going on.
"Yeah?" She took her eyes off the leg to look over at him.
"You're not helping." He shook his head.
"I'm sorry." She said after noticing how everyone was looking at her.
"It's alright Robin. It was a cute attempt to make everyone feel better." Lyn gave her a pat on the back for effort.
Jon ran back over with gloves on. He had a knife and spoon in his hand. "Okay. All right, El? This is going to hurt like hell, okay?" He kneels down by her infected leg.
"Okay." She nods with tears running down her face.
"Need you to stay real still. Here, you're going to want to bite down on this, okay?" He handed her a wooden spoon. She put it in her mouth sideways and bit down.
"Jesus Christ." Steve hissed. Dustin pushes him from El's side to hold her hand. Steve got up to hold on to a trembling Lyn. "Don't look." He pulls her to him, so she could hide her face in his chest. She cries as El's screaming filled her ears, along with everyone else's.
"Is it out yet?" She asks, not being brave enough to look.
"Not yet, he still got to reach in and get it." Steve held on to her tightly.
"Jonathan!" Nancy panicked, making Lyn turn to look. He had almost his whole hand in her leg.
"Stop talking!" He yells back. He didn't feel like he could afford to have his attention anywhere else but on El right now. "Goddamn it!" He yells when the parasite kept moving away from him.
"No! Stop it! Stop! Stop!" El spat out the spoon to scream. Nancy pushes Jon back to get him to remove his hand. "I can do it. I can do it." She sat up and used her powers. She screams in pain as she moves the thing from the backside of her leg to the wound in the front. With one last scream that shattered the display window in the store behind them, she was able to force a worm-like creature out of her leg. She throws it across the food court.
Everyone watches as it tries to crawl away only to be stomp on. Lyn out a breath of relief when she was it wasn't more Russians. It was Hopper, Joyce, and some balding man she never saw before.
