Chapter 5

*Readers pov*

Max: This El..she sounds so awesome.

Mike: You would have loved her.

I stand up from the chair.

You: I'm out this shit.

I begin walking to the door but Max stoped me with her words.

Max: Why?

I turn to them.

You: Why? I am only here for the girl. She's not here. I'll find her myself.

Max: How? How do you plan to do that?

You: I'll...shoot fire balls.

Max: Your best bet is with us. She will find us, she will appear with us.

You: How would you know? You're new to this as I am.

Max: I paid attention to everything, unlike you. I always see you spaced out in critical situations.

Mike coughs.

You: Look, this whole Demi-situation, you all can deal with it on your own. I don't care they are from another world or here to destroy ours.

The place is being set up for something, I dunno I don't pay attention.

Mike: Your best bet is with us, again. So it's either you protect us to live and we give you El or you leave with-

You: Her name is Eleven. Not El. Her name is a number.

Mike: I know El well enough to know she would rather stick away from you as soon as she sees you from how you act.

You: What do you mean? I am perfectly normal.

Mike: It's not normal to make people feel like a number.

You: How am I making her feel anything right now?! I don't see her here.

Max: Relax. Mike is right. Anyone who is talked to like that is instantly going to dislike you.

I take a deep breath.

You: She's not here. All for I know she's dead. All of the others seem to be dead from the test. This only chance of hope I got from ending my life and you're telling me I should live with no purpose?

They seem to be quiet.

Lucas: What's going on? It's about to start.

The passed out kid is put on a stool and tied up. Hes surrounded by black walls and theres an extremely bright light that is placed on him.

We all huddle around but I keep away, not caring.

The kid starts to wake up and in panic looking around. He looks at the rope around him.

???: What is this? What is this? Why am I tied up?

The lady lays next to him

???: We just want to talk. We won't hurt you.

Hopper does the same and shows him a picture.

Hopper: What is this? Do you reconise this?

He shakes his head.

???: Why am I tied up? Why am I tied up? Why am I tied up?! Why am I tied up?! WHY AM I TIED UP?!

What the fuck?

My eyes expand a tiny bit as my eyebrows slightly rise from the situation.

???: LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!

The lights are flickering.

Hopper quickly wraps himself around him as he calms down and the lights stop flickering.

He looks at the lady with dead eyes.

I move upfront to the kid. Getting a better view.

The lady talks to him about his friends, his toys and drawings.

Joyce: And you drew this big spaceship, it wasn't from the movies, it was your rainbow spaceship. You used every colour in the box.

What is the meaning of this?

She continues talking to him about what he does.

Jonathan: Do you remember when we stayed up all night in the Castle Byers?

He kneels to him and does what his mother does.

Mike: Do you remember the first time we met? It was first day of kindergarden. I was so alone and scared but I saw you on the swings and you were alone too. Swinging by yourself. I walked up to you and I asked if you wanted to be my friend, you said yes, you said yes.

He begins to cry abit.

Mike: Its the best thing you ever done.

???: Just talk to us..please..please talk to us.

The kid begins crying a bit.

???: Let...me go..

You: Shit...
