Nancy stepped on it as we made it to the school. We ran inside and met with Steve and the kids. Even though Dustin didn't say anything wrong, something in my gut was telling me it was. Thoughts came to my head, what if Vecna got Steve?

"We leave you with the kids for 2 hours!" I said to Steve as I ran pass the girls. "You are supposed to keep an eye on them, not take them and break into a school! What are you teaching them?"

"Me?! Max was the one who stole the shrinks keys!"

"So we're tattletaling now huh? Mature."

"Am not! Anyways, im here with them, they're not alone, not dead."

"It was here." Max said as she pointed at the blank wall. "Right here."

"Max, what is going on?" Robin freaks out.

"I heard and saw a-"

"A grandfather clock?" I huffed out. Steve and them turned to me. Max walks up to me.

"How did you know?"

"Wendy?" Steve whispers.

"A guess-" I shrugged off, hoping it was just a coincidence. Deep down I wanted to see if she heard what I did days ago.

"Wendy was like in a trance when we were at the library.
She was just staring at the wall." Nancy said and I was just standing there, nothing more to say.

"So was Max. She was in a trace or something. Exactly what Eddie said happened to Chrissy. Exactly like-"

"No!" I shouted. "It was a wild guess! Come on guys! You got to believe me!"

"Its not even the bad part." Max takes my hand and we head to the office. We gathered around the desk to hear out Max. "Fred and Chrissy, they both came to Miss Kelley for help. Uh the both were having headaches, bad headaches that wouldn't go away and then..." i gulped. This cant be. No! "Then the nightmares. Trouble sleeping. They'd wake up in a cold sweat. Then they start seeing things. Bad things. From their pasts." Lonnie. "These visions, they just kept on getting worse and worse, until eventually... everything ended."

"Vecnas curse."

"Chrissys headache started a week ago. Freds six days ago, ive been having them for five days." Max looks at me. "Wendy's been getting them for 3 days now." I shook my head no. "For Fred and Chrissy, they both died less than 24 hours after their first vision. And i just saw that goddamn clock so... looks like im gonna die tomorrow."
