"That's a lost sheep...and we're gonna help find her." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New girl. New town. New crowd. Veronica is immediately drawn into the popular group as she begins her time at Hawkins High, but something doesn't feel right. Cheerleading and basketball isn't all it seems to be once Veronica meets 'The Freaks' ...but more specifically, when she meets Eddie Munson. It's not too easy for Veronica to get away from that cookie cutter life. In order to do so, she starts secretly hanging out with Eddie Munson, and a secret relationship begins to bud. Things get rocky when Veronica's Aunt forces her to get a job at the local Family Video as punishment for sneaking out with Eddie. She meets Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley, which causes immense jealousy between relationships...but none of that matters once a frantic Eddie crawls through her window one night, stuttering his words and fear flooding his eyes. He then reveals a terrible truth to Veronica that not only changes her perspective of Hawkins completely, but draws her into a world of monsters and death that had been right below her feet all along.

He rose a hand caressing the side of her face and tucking the loose strand of hair behind her ear with the other. "Do you want this?" She let out a shaky breath, the feeling of his rings made her spine tingle but not as much as the feeling of his cold skin against hers. She felt his body inch closer and she knew if she told him to let her go he would. The problem was she didn't want to. He leaned closer his cool breath brushing against her ear, "Tell me to stop and I will..." his hands fell brushing down against her waist. *** Hawkins will never be the same.
