Private Fears in Public Places

Danielle Henderson was never one to say no.

Not to her brother, no matter how annoying he can be.

Not to his equally annoying group of friends.

And definitely not to her best friend, Steve Harrington.

But then, he started dating Nancy Wheeler, who was the complete opposite of Danielle and not someone she thought her childhood best friend should date.

Would she ever tell him that? Absolutely not. Steve seemed happy with her, or at least she thought so. And why does she care? It's not like she liked him like that... right?

Inside her was a storm of emotions and anxiety that she refused to acknowledge, and to top it off, people started to go missing. First, it was the sweet kid she used to hang out with when she got stuck babysitting Dustin. Then, it was the level-headed friend of Nancy.

There was something sinister in the small town of Hawkins, and it seems the more Danielle gets stuck in her own head, the more that darkness sinks its claws into her.

Everything changed so fast, in a blink of an eye.

She doesn't know if she can escape it.

She doesn't know if she wants to escape it.
