Rhiannon // Max Mayfield

6: Super Spy

Ring...Ring...Ri-
Alex picked up the phone ringing in the hallway. Why would someone be calling her at like 4pm school was barely over.

"Can i talk to Alex?" the voice on the other end asked, he seemed scared, Alex recognised it immediately

"Mike?" She asked, wondering what had scared the boy, had he been effected by one of Wills visions

"Yeah, come to the Byers house now, it's about Will," He said quickly

"Is it bad?"

"Just come here, I'll explain, promise" Then he hung up.

Alex figured if Mike sounded really distressed then it must be urgent so she pulled on her sneakers and left in a rush, scrawling a quick note for her brothers in case they came down soon. She got on her board quickly, swerving in front of Cars to get to the Byers in record time, it usually look fifteen minutes but she got there in seven.

She ditched her board on the front lawn and ran in through the unlocked door, noticing Joyce in the corner looking distressed, Mike was pacing and Will was sat in the middle of the room, covered in sweat.

The walls were covered in what looked like a map, blue and purple roads covering what looked like every room in the house, clearly Will had drawn them, his hands still smudged with crayon.

"It's like i feel what the shadow monsters seeing, feel what he's feeling," Will said as she walked in, Mike shot her a concerned glance, proving their theory was right and he had been possessed by the creature.

Alex looked at the walls, they were covered in crayon drawings, like a map, Joyce was taping them to the walls while Mike trailed his finger along them.

"Like in the upside down?" Mike asked.

Will nodded, still shaking slightly, "Some of him was there, but some of him is here too," he said, still not making eye contact with either of his friends.

"Like in this house?" Alex asked, he nodded again.

"In this house, and in.. in me. Its like he's reaching into Hawkins more and more, and the more he spreads the more connected to him i feel," He said, seeming to be scared of his own words, Mike sat on one side of him now, Alex took a seat on his other side.

"And the more you see these now-memories," Mike finished for him.

"At first i just felt it in the back of my head, i didn't even really know it was there, Its like when you have a dream.. and you can't remember it unless you think really hard.. It was like that. But now it's like, Now i remember. I remember all the time." Alex and Mike shared a look of concern. 

Alex felt her heart plummet, that feeling that will had described, she had felt it the other day, just after she had gotten home. Was she now infected with the monster as well, just not to the same degree as Will.

"Maybe, Maybe that's good?" Mike suggested.

"Good?" Will looked horrified.

"Think about it Will, your like a spy," Alex said, catching onto Mikes train of thought. Maybe they could stop this thing after all, if some part of it connected to Will, they could use that part to find out its weaknesses, how to stop it.
