As the sky goes dark, we drive towards the lab. The yelling decreased as we neared the front gate. It looked like a prison. Like everyone in that place has been trapped inside forever. We park by the trees to hide the RV so no one inside can see it.

"Are you sure you guys want to tag along? It's pretty dangerous," Bill asks Mike and his friends.

"If your dad is in there, my friend might be too," Lucas says with a worried face.

Richie pulls up the seat that we were sitting on, and everyone looks at him confused. He pulls out a bag and plops it on the seat. He then begins to pull out different types of guns.

"Richie, what the hell?" Bill screams.

"What? You never know-"

"Where'd you get these?" Beverly asks as her face lights up with amusment.

"From selling my weed. I had extra money and, well, I know a guy." He hands me one and I look at him.

"I don't know how to use one of these. I've never even touched a gun before."

"You'll be okay. If you need some help, I'll teach you."

I nod at him and put it in my bag, packing up everything else as well. Richie hands out guns to everyone, including Mike and his friends.

"Is everyone ready?" Bill asks before stepping out of the car.

Everyone nods their head, and we all step out after him.

As we make our way over to the gate, I start regretting my decision of coming here. I know my dad is in danger. Actually, I think I know, but what if Dr. Brenner wanted to take me too? What if my dad calling me was just a trap? But he wouldn't put me in danger. And yet, what if he was going to get hurt if he didn't?

Richie notices me zoning out and takes me in his arms. "It's going to be okay, Eddie. I love you." He cups my cheek in his hand and kisses me.

He holds my hand, and we walk over to the gate. He puts his hands together and lifts me over the gate, and then begins climbing up after. We meet everyone on the other side and start sneaking to the lab. We stay hidden in the trees so we don't get caught. I start to hear a car coming towards us, and I alarm the others. We run over behind the bushes so the headlights don't catch us. We continue walking quietly towards the lab after the car passes, until we see lights on us.

We start running back to the car as people in lab coats chase after us. My legs are short, so I can barely keep up. All of a sudden, I feel arms around me. I'm getting dragged away by the people in the lab coats. The others scream and chase after me, and Richie pulls out his gun. They stop dragging me as he shoots into the sky. I sit there as they squeeze my arms, making sure I don't escape. A man with white hair and a tux begins walking towards me.

"Eddie Kaspbrak, I've been waiting for you."

"Let him go!" Richie screams and holds his gun, ready to shoot at any given moment. He signals to the others, and they take out their guns as well.

Brenner looks at all of the kids and then back to me. He looks me straight in the eye. It's like he can see into my soul.

"Let him go."

"But, sir-"

"Let the boy go."

They let go of me, and I run back to the others.

"We will find you, Eddie. We know your every move. Be careful. Everything you're saying, thinking, doing. It's all being tracked. I have full control over you, and your dad" he smirks.

A tear rolls down my face. "What are you doing to him?"

They begin walking away.

"What are you doing to him?" I ask again.

I fall to the ground and scream. Trees around me start to fall and the doctors get forced back. Blood comes pouring out of my nose and my ears. Eleven comes running up to me. Dr. Brenner looks at us with enthusiasm.

"Eleven, you have returned," he says as he walks towards us.

Eleven forces him back. "Boy to saftey," she stutters out to Richie.

He picks me up and begins running back to the RV. Everyone starts racing back as well, and Eleven holds back the doctors. After they all fall to the ground, she runs to the RV with the rest of us. We all pile into it. Bill starts the car and drives off.

"What the fuck just happened?" Beverly yells.

Everyone looks at me and Eleven, terror written all over their faces. Richie craddles me in his arms with tears rolling down his cheeks, wiping the blood off of my face.

"It's like you have powers," Dustin says to us.

My eyes start to feel heavy as I grow more and more tired. I shift myself closer to Richie and close my eyes. Tears begin rolling down my cheeks as well. Richie hums quietly to me. After a couple minutes, I fall asleep.

Richies POV:

"W-why did he bleed? What happened back there?" I ask Eleven.

"Telekinetic abilites, I have them too" she says.

She begins to hold out her hand and it shakes. I turn to my side and see my cigaretts floating in the air. They drop again and I look back over at her, her nose was bleeding and she looked out of breath. I continue to craddle Eddie in my arms as he sleeps. Tears roll off my cheeks onto my shirt. I look over at Beverly and I can tell she's worried. She walks over to me and hugs me, being careful not to wake Eddie.

"It's going to be okay, Richie. I don't know what's happening, I'm just confused as you are. But I know it's going to get better." She gives me a reasurring smile and walks back over to her seat.

"We need to find a place to stay tonight," Bill says from the drivers seat.

"I have some room in my basement. My parents don't really go down there anyways so you should be fine,'' Mike says, showing Bill the directions to his house.

"What does dad look like?" I ask out of curiosity.

"I can show you a picture if you want," Mike whispers as he walks towards me.

I nod my head and we turn onto his street. Bill parks the RV hidden in the trees. I pick up Eddie bridal-style, making sure I don't wake him. We sneak over to Mikes basement door and he unlocks it.

"You guys can just find places to sleep down here. Sooner or later, I'll just say you're some kids from school and you wanted to hang out with me. Then you can sleep in my room. Richie, you'll still have to go through the window though. My dad would have a fit if he knows that I know you."

Him and his friends walk upstairs and the rest of us find a place to sleep. Beverly grabs a couple blankets and lays them out on the floor for us. I lay Eddie down carefully and lie down next to him. Still asleep, he cuddles himself closely to me to stay warm. I hold him in my arms and tears begin to fall out of my eyes again. He starts to snore quietly and I rub the back of his head. I wonder what would've happened if our parents never got involved, would me and Eddie have gotten this close? Would his dad still be with him and not in a lab 18 hours away from home? I think I might've ruined his life. He was doing great at school, he had a loving father, he had friends. But I had to come along and fuck it all up for him. I bullied him, I screamed at him, I drove him to hurt himself. God, what have I done?
