I wake up slowly with my head on a tile floor and my hands chained to a pipe attached to the wall. There are no windows, and only one metal door in the front of the room.

It opens, and a man walks inside. He kneels down to my eye level and I spit onto his face. "that's no way to treat your papa is it 015?" He says.

So he's my "papa". "Liar. And my name is Y/n" "Ok 015" "My name is Y/n" "No. See the tattoo on your arm? That's your name"

"It's behind my back dumbass how an I supposed to see it?" He laughs. "Still as snarky as the last time you were awake. You were quite a handful that night"

"You took me from my family. From my home!!!" I scream. A surge of energy runs through my veins. And the wall just behind Papa sets alight...

2 men come through the door and spray foam onto the wall. My hands burn. A lot. "Did I just do that?" I splutter.

Papa nods. "We need to test you tomorrow so have a good sleep and we'll see you in the morning" I nod slowly.

He walks out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him. I stare at the wall. It's pitch black, scorched.

"What have they done to me?" I mumble. I lean against the wall and cry myself to sleep.

The next day, 11am...

The door slams open with one swift movement, startling me out of my day dream. I've been awake for I don't know how long. All I know is that I didn't sleep well last night.

Papa crouches back down to my eye level again and I try to scramble away from him. I back up against the wall to get away from his stinky breath.

I pull a disgusted face and he moves away from me a little. "get up 015. Today's the day. The day to see if you own anymore powers after the experiment"

He unlocks the handcuffs, and pulls me up. I've only just realised that I'm in a white hospital gown. They must've undressed me. I quickly shake away the thought. That's actually gross.

Papa walks side by side down a hallway, and walks into a room similar to the other one. Just with no scorched wall. God I will never be able to get over that.

I sit down in the chair as I'm told and he sits in the chair opposite. "Now 015. I want you to focus every bad memory you have. Any bad of angry memory. And put them to the front of your mind"

I nod in agreement. At this point I don't really have any choice. I do as he says slowly, trying to relive every bad memory.

Will's disappearance, to El going. And Will's body... Every fight with my parents. Everytime they hit me. Mike screaming. Anger boiling when they hit him. When they hit me...

The power and energy floods through my veins once more. But instead of it going to my hands, it feels like it's circulating through my body...

And the next thing I know I'm on 4 paws and howling. I'm a wolf... "My god" Papa whispered. "She can shape shift"

"015. You need to change back" He kneels down next to me and I go to scratch him. He moves backwards and I miss.

"Don't 015. Or you'll end up like 017" He says, showing me a picture of a girl. Lying still.. half wolf half girl. But she had a bullet wound on her head and waist...

I growl at Papa. He killed the girl. "015!!! Stop it!" I growl louder and 5 men run through the doors to grab me.

I snap back at them and raise my back showing I'm ready to attack. The men pull out guns from behind their backs but I'm quicker.

I grab at the legs of one and pull him down to the floor, making the other shoot him instead. He then turns to me to shoot me again, but I run threw the door and down the hallway before he could react.

I could gunshots and an alarm but all that I was focused on now was escaping. Getting back to Mike and my family was all that mattered. Who knew how long I had been.

I charged past everyone I saw, and ran threw the main doors and into the woods. I changed back quickly into myself and continued running through the forest.

More gunshots were fired, but the noise slowly drowned out and I come to a stop to catch my breath.

Up ahead, I see a police vehicle. And a familiar man. It was Hopper... I wanted to run up and hug him tightly, but he wouldn't remember me, and he would think I'm some sort of freak.

I shift into a wolf again, and walk up to his patrol car. I nudge the back of his leg and her turns around. "hey there little fella! Where did you come from?"

I make a little noise but he just picks me up and puts me in the back of his car. Not what I was expecting. At all.

"Sorry little fella, but we chat be having stray dogs running around Hawkins" He shuts the door on my nuzzle and I sigh in defeat.

He gets in the driver's side. "Found y/n Wheeler dead nearly one year ago today in the quarry" That got my attention.

"The government pulled her body out of the water... Said she fell off with her bike dragging her down" I mean the quarry was in-between my way but I don't think I ever came close to it.

"I don't believe it. Seeing as what happened with Will, and that I found her bag, radio and bike just around the corner of the pizza place"

That's the Hopper I know. But then I realised. I've been gone for nearly a year... A YEAR...
