Right now Dustin is pretending to be on the phone with Mr. McCorkle. I'm pacing around the room pretending to be worried. My eyes are still puffy from crying last night. I lied to Dustin when he asked. I said it was the baby Demogorgon when it was really Billy. I feel like such an idiot. How could I give in so easily?

Dustin hung up the phone. "Alright great news."

"They found her?" I asked as I stopped pacing.

"No, but they saw her wondering around Loch Nora." He said.

"How did the poor baby get out there?" Mrs. Henderson said smiling while crying.

"I don't know, lost I guess, they're gonna look for her. But we'll stay here in case they call back. You're gonna go help look right? Yea?" He asked. She nods while going in for a hug.

I join the hug and we all let go. "Go get her." I say.

"Ok." She smiles.

"We're gonna find her." Dustin said.

"We're gonna find her." She repeated and was making her way out the door.

"Love you." We both say.

"Love you." She says and walks out the door. Dustin and I look at each other then run to my room to gear up. We strapped whatever we could use as protection on us and got our choice of weapons. I got my axe from last year, and he had a hockey stick. He laid a trail of bologna from his room to the cellar. Once the trap was in place we opened up the door to his room and ran as fast as we could with the gear on to the fortress outside. We closed the door and waited for Dart to come out. After a few seconds he came out and followed the trail. He was so close to us. Our plan was so close to working when he was at the tip of the cellar door. Then he snapped his head toward us. I pulled Dustin away from the wall. A couple seconds later I checked his position and he was fully facing us and was getting closer to the fort.

Dustin let out a warrior call and burst out the door.

"Dustin!" I yelled coming after him. Dart started to flee, but Dustin hit him in the cellar with his hockey stick. We quickly closed the doors and laid on them. I look to right and see Alex. Dart starts banging against the door. My eyes widen.

"Alex grab that chain." I point to it on the ground. She scrambled to get it and ran over to me. I looped the chain around the handles tightly so Dart couldn't get out. Dustin and I both stood up and panted.

"What the hell was that?!" She kinda yelled.

"That was a baby Demogorgon...I think." I say.

"His name's Dart." Dustin says.

"That thing has a name?" She asked.

"Not so crazy am I?" I asked chuckling. I took off my replica Jason Voorhees mask and fixed my hair. She just shook her head.

"Are there more like that?" She asked.

"Hundreds more. It's our job to stop this. If we don't, a lot of people are going to die." I say.

"Why can't we just call the cops? Aren't they supposed to deal with this type of stuff?" She asked.

"No one will believe us if we told them. We've done it once, we can do it again." Dustin spoke up. "The only cop to help us will be Hopper, he's M.I.A right now. We're on our own for now. I'll try contact the others."

He went inside. I look at Alex. "Welcome to the family."

"Glad to be here." She says.

Dart started banging against the doors again which made us scream. We ran back inside and shut the door. I took off all my gear and took it to my room.
