freaks | steve harrington | book 1

the upside down - 009

we were in billy's car, and max was driving.

steve was still knocked out, and he was laying on my lap.

it was kind of crammed in the back seat with him, dustin, and mike, but we managed.

i felt steve move his head a bit.

"kat?..." he looked to mike, and he gave steve a "what the fuck" look.

"i'm right here." i whispered.

steve was groaning, and his face was all bloody and swollen. steve went to touch his swollen eye.

"no no." i whispered.

"don't touch it." dustin moved his hand down. "hey buddy. shh."

steve kept groaning and moaning in pain.

"it's ok. you put up a good fight. he kicked your ass, but you put up a good fight ok?"

lucas was sitting in the front seat next to max. "you're going to keep straight for a half a mile, then turn left." he said.

"what's going on?..." steve was looking around, and he finally realized what was happening. "woah... oh my god!" he started squirming, and moving, i was trying to hold him down.

"steve relax. she's driven before-"

"yea in a parking lot!" mike interrupted me.

"that counts." lucas said softly.

"oh my god!-" steve kept panicking.

"just be cool!-"

"woah woah woah woah! slow down! stop the car!"

"i told you he'd freak out!" mike shouted.

"STOP THE CAR!" steve kept screaming.

"everybody SHUT UP!" max screamed. "i'm trying to focus!"

"hard left!" lucas shouted.

"what?!"

"MAKE A LEFT NOW!" lucas repeated.

max took a sharp left turn into the pumpkin patch where hopper and i went on halloween.

there was a giant hole in the patch.

we got out of the car, and steve was wobbling.

the kids were filling up the gas tanks to pour on to the vines.

"WOW HELLO!" steve fell out of the car.

i put on my face mask, and my goggles.

"guys?! oh no, guys? woah hey, where do you think you're going?!" steve tried to stop, but we all ignored him. "are you guys deaf?! HELLOOO?! we are not going down there right now, i made myself CLEAR!"

i passed steve with a tank full of gasoline.

"hey there is no CHANCE we are going down into that hole!" steve fell again. "THIS ENDS RIGHT NOW!" he grabbed my sprayer, but i stole it back.

"steve, i get you're upset right now, but we promised to take care of these kids. so shut up, we are going down that hole." i snapped.

he sighed, and he put his goggles on.

steve lowered himself down into the hole.

i soon followed.

the place was dark, and colder than it was on the surface.
