eddie was dragging me to his van but all i can see is 001. all i can hear is his voice. and his new voice. i swear whenever he talked i heard that clock.
"savanna! are you even listening to anything i say?"
eddie asks from the driver seat
"no. no i'm sorry. i zoned out"
"what did we just see sav? what just happened to chrissy? and what were you doing? your hands started glowing"
"um we just watched chrissy get murdered. i don't know what that was but i was trying to use my super powers to get into her head and see what she was seeing"
"your superpowers right."
then he stops probably believing what i just said
"you have superpowers."
i just nod my head
"but you looked scared before chrissy was even in the air. what did you see?"
"my past coming back to haunt me."
eddie just nods
"right."
"can you just take me home please"
"yeah uh sure"
we finally pull into my driveway
"i'm gonna crash at ricks lake house for a bit, if you need me i'll be there okay"
i nod and he drives off. it was very late so i go through my window very quietly. once i get in my room i change and lay down but still all i see is 001.
"you didn't help me"
was all i heard. he told me to run. to leave that place. how was i supposed to know he was gonna let a 7 year old do whatever she did. after what felt like hours i slowly started to fall asleep but not without nightmares





"wakey wakey"
i hear as steve shakes me, i just groan
"we have to get to work, you spelt in."
everything from last night comes flooding in my mind. should i tell him about chrissy? if i do it could open up the flood gates and my whole past will come out. sure he knows about the lab but el was kind enough to not let anyone know i was going to help 001.
"i'm up. i'm up."
"let's go!"
i get out of bed put on some baggy jeans, sneakers, crop tank top, and button up shirt to put on but not actually button. then i grabbed my work vest.
"you hungry?"
"no i'm okay."
"alright let's go"
we drive to work and open the store. so far it was a quite normal day. we were all restocking the shelves while robin was going on about vicki
"and then vicki laughed. and it wasn't like a cheap, fake laugh either. it was like... it was a real, genuine laugh."
"of course she laughed robin, it's my muppet joke. it's hilarious."
"my point is that vicki laughed and everything was just like... it was perfect"
"but?"
"but i'm having this problem where it's like, i should stop talking. i have said everything i need to say. but then i guess i get nervous, and the words keep spilling out, and it's like my... my brain is moving faster than my mouth, or.. or rather my... my mouth is moving faster than my brain."
i'm ready to calm her down but i'm not in the mood today, i've just been quite saying nothing all day
"i'm digging this hole for myself, and i want to stop digging, i'm trying to stop, but i can't. and i'm doing it right now, aren't i?"
i nod even though she can't see me
"yeah, you are."
robin takes a big breathe
"oh, i'm hopeless."
"eh. we all are."
they both look over to me but i just keep stacking the selves, i wish everyone would just move on from the whole me being all broken hearted. i'm fine. really. i zone out of their conversation after that. until robin turns on the tv
"we're in the forest hills trailer park in eat roane county. we don't have a lot of details right now, but we can confirm that the body of a hawkins high student was discovered early this morning. police have not released the name... although we are told they are in the process of notifying the family."
i use my powers to shut off the tv and walk off
"that was weird"
i heard robin but all i can see is chrissy. with everything going on with 001 i haven't thought much about the fact of what actually happened. chrissy was killed right in front of my eyes.




a little more time went by before the kids came in
"savanna! i know your being weird today but we need you!"
i sigh as steve yells. i need to tell them what happened, they're going to find out anyways.
"coming!"
i walk out of the break room to see dustin and max with robin and steve. i walk in and see them calling a bunch of people
"what are you guys doing?"
"someone fill her in"
"okay so you know that teen that got murdered? it was chrissy cunningham"
i don't say anything for a minute
"i know."
everyone stops and looks at me
"i was there"
"oh my god"
i hear dustin say
"why didn't you tell us?"
steve asks
"why didn't you go to the police?"
max asks
"are you okay? i mean if it's as bad as max describes it had to be traumatizing to see."
robin says
"i'm okay. it was just a lot."
"is that all your going to say? you have to tell us everything"
dustin says walking over to us
"i don't know what you want me to say"
"how about who did it?"
he says
"that's the thing... i don't know who did it"
"how do you not know. you were there"
"she just flew into the air and her bones just snapped."
"she randomly flew into the air?"
steve questions, leaning against the counter
"no, she was just standing frozen. her eyes moving really fast and then well you know."
"well do you know where eddie is?"
i nod
"your telling me we've been doing this for who knows how long and savanna knew his whereabouts the whole time!"
dustin complains but momma steve stops him
"we haven't been doing this that long."
"yes we have"
"no we have not"
"guys!"
robins yells
"shouldn't we be going to eddie?"
max ask
"she's right. we need to go."
robins says
"i'll drive"




we pull into the lake house and everyone goes to the house. and then dustin rings the doorbell a lot
"okay. well, that's settled. i guess he's not here."
"eddie!"
"great"
"it's dustin!"
"guys! shh. he's not in there."
i point my flashlight to the boat shed and we all go into it
"hello"
robins says walking in first
"is anyone home? can someone tell me why the girl with freaking superpowers isn't in the front?"
"can someone tell me why we're in a line?"
"so the first person gets attacked first"
dustin says hiding behind me
"guys just spread out"
"what a dump"
steve says and picks up a paddle then starts hitting the boat tarp
"what are you doing?"
dustin questions him
"he might be in here"
"so take the tarp off"
"if your so brave you take the tarp off"
i'm not standing by them but i move my arm through the air and take the tarp off. and there goes eddie pushing steve against the wall with a knife to his throat
"woah! woah! woah!"
i move my arm again and pull eddie back
"that wasn't very nice eddie"
"what are you doing here? why would you bring all of them?"
"they wanted to find you."
"we're here to help."
"eddie these are my friends. you know robin from band"
she makes an instrument noise
"this is my friend. the one who never wants to play d&d. and you know and love savanna. eddie we're on your side. i swear on my mother. right guys."
"yes. we swear."
"on dustin's mother"
"yeah. yeah dustin's mother"
"i love your mom dustin."
he drops the knife from his hand, i let him free of my red, and he slides down the wall
"eddie we just want to help"
"savanna told us what happened."
"i know it sounds crazy guys but you have to believe us"
eddie pleads to the group
"this isn't our first experience with things like this"
you could tell eddie isn't taking this very well, he's looking around, freaking out while dustin tries to explain
"look what i'm about to tell you might be a little.. difficult.. to take."
"okay"
"you know how people say hawkins is cursed? their not way off. there's another world. a world hidden beneath hawkins. sometimes it bleeds into ours."
"like ghost?"
"there's somethings worse than ghosts"
"these monsters. from this other world. we thought they were gone. but they've come back before. and that's why we needed to find you."
"if they're back again, we need to know."
"did you two see anything?"
"dark particles, maybe?"
"it would almost look like dust, swirling dust."
"no, man. there was nothing you could see or, uh... or touch. i tried to wake her man, she couldn't move. it was like she... she was in a trance or something."
"or under a spell"
"a curse."
"vecna'a curse."
"right i forgot we name all of our monsters after d&d"
"savanna even tried to uh to get in chrissy's mind i think she said and then she just flew back all shook up."
"savanna? what did you see?"
dustin asks me. i don't reply thinking of something to say. i can't say anything about 001 until i talk to el
"vecna"
"who's vecna?"
steve, who has never played the game, asks
"an undead creature of great power."
"a spell caster."
"a dark wizard."
and then i heard it again. the clock. but i still can't see a clock anywhere. henry loved clocks. what if he's still in my head. i need to find eleven.
"he's stronger than anything we've dealt with."
"how do you know that"
"because i know him."
everyone looks around
"i mean i can feel him. when i went into chrissy mind it was like i was in his mind. i was in the upside down."
"that's should be impossible, we closed the gates"
"like i said, he's stronger than anything we've dealt with dustin."
"can you fight him?"
robin asks, can i fight 001? of course. will i? hard question
"i can fight anyone robbie.'
