"Hey Y/N? Do you know when the others are bringing our food supplies?" Eddie asks from in the kitchen and I stand up from the sofa, walking towards him.

I look at all the open cupboards and see that we barely have any food left.

"Shit... I have no idea. I could go buy some for us but I can't risk leaving you on your own right now." I sigh, thinking of an idea.

I could try to communicate with Danny or Dystin telepathically but that would probably frighten Eddie. He's been through enough already.

"Look, I'm sure the others are-"

Before I even get to finish, a loud bang comes from the door. I rush to stand in front of Eddie in case I have to use my abilities.

"Stay quiet." I whisper to Eddie. He frantically nods, ducking down to stay hidden.

I clench my fist, slowly creeping towards the door when suddenly, it slams open.

I raise my hand out in front of me, ready to use my telekinesis when Dustin suddenly drops a bag in his hand, holding his arms up in surrender.

"Woah! Woah! It's just us!" He exclaims and I let out a sigh of relief.

"Hey Eddie, you can come out now." I say as he stands up, walking to stand beside me.

"We brought food." Robin says with a smile, holding up a bag of food.

"Also... we need to talk." Steve steps into the house, followed by Max and my brother.

There is a moments silence as we all look between one another until everyones eyes land on Eddie. He stands there with a worried look on his face.

This is about him.

"Well shit... this isn't gonna be good is it?" I ask and Dustin shakes his head.

"Okay then. Let's get this over with." Steve says as we all head into the living room to sit down. Eddie sits on the sofa and I sit next to him.

This is taking a lot of effort not to hold his hand, hug him or kiss his cheek just to show him some comfort.

"Okay, lets get straight to the point here. Basically everyone in Hawkins believes that Eddie killed Chrissy. Obviously we know he didn't." Dustin starts which makes my heart almost stop beating.

The look on Eddie's face is heartbreaking.

Everyone begins to come up with a plan but I start to loose concentration when I get a few flashing images in my head. I see a group of jocks throwing tools into their car. Tools to be used as weapons.

"Let's go hunt ourselves a freak!"

The 'lead' jock exclaims, the others following him into the car.

"Y/N? Y/N can you hear me? Y/N!" Steve shouts and I am pulled out of my vision.

"Holy shit Y/N, you're bleeding!" Eddie exclaims, scared and confused once again.

I reach my hand up to touch under my nose to see that it in fact, bleeding. I widen my eyes, looking at Danny and Dustin.

"Uh... can I talk to you two? Alone?" I say, trying to get them to take a hint, we go to leave the room to talk when Eddie speaks up.

"Guys? What the heck is happening here? Is Y/N okay? What's happening?!" He exclaims as he tries to stand and follow us but Steve, Robin and Max keep him where he is.

When Dustin, Danny and I make it to a bedroom, I close the door with a sigh.

"You gonna tell us what is going on?" Dustin asks.

"I had a vision Dustin. I could see it happen with my own eyes. Those... high school jocks are coming for Eddie. They called him a freak! He's not a freak!" I shout, clenching my fists tightly.

"Holy shit... does that mean...?" Danny starts but doesn't finish what he's saying as I finish it for him.

"They're coming for him. They're gonna try and hurt Eddie. I swear I wont let that happen! I swear on my own life! If anything happens to him they're dead!"

I fling the door open using my abilities. I storm past the others in the living room as they all call out my name. However, I just ignore them, heading out towards the boat house.

I know I should be with Eddie now to protect him but I have to cool off first.

The vision... it keeps playing over and over in my head. I swear, I wont let them hurt-

The sound of the same ticking clock rings through my ears and I look around but see nothing. Is this another vision?

The ticking continues but I don't get any visions or voices in my head.

Maybe I'm just going insane.

I sigh, sitting cross legged next to the water which has the small boat floating on top.

I wish everything could go back to normal.

But this is Hawkins. This place is far from normal.
