"DUSTIN, CAN YOU SLOW DOWN?" Eddie pushes threw a bush, covering his face from the branches. Olivia is pulled threw after him, their hands intertwined tightly. Night time has fallen upon them once again, like darkness wanting to swallow the teenagers up whole. "Dustin?" Eddie calls.
"I think we're getting close." Dustin yells, turning back to look at the litter of people following after him. He walks straight for the open water that is lovers lake, Olivia manages to catch him just as he's about too fall into the lake. "Holy Jesus."
"Watch your step man." Eddie pats his shoulder, giving him a half smile. The rest of the group follow them out onto the banks of Lover's Lake. Olivia sighs in anger, closing her eyes and turning away from the lake, feeling her head pounding against her skull. Eddie sees the discomfort and wraps an arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his side. The girl lets herself relax a little, smelling the cheep cologne and weed that Eddie smells of, usually it would make her gag but with him, it was different.
"Oh man. You've got to be shitting me." Steve gasps, a little out of breathe from the hike they had just been on.
"Yeah." Eddie agrees, "I thought these woods were familiar.
"Lover's lake." Robin elaborates, sighing in defeat.
"This is... confounding." Dustin grins, excitement in his expression and voice.
"There's a gate in lovers lake?" Max asks, walking up beside Olivia. The Harrington turns too the Mayfield and smiles softly, sliding their hands together.
"Whenever the Demogorgan attacked, it always left an opening." Nancy remembers, she remembers the gate she had crawled threw a long time ago looking for Barb, her bestfriend that had died ages ago. "Maybe Vecna's the same way."
"Yeah, only one way to find out." Steve mutters, sarcastically smiling and shaking his head a little. Luckily for them the boat Olivia and Eddie had been in washed up on shore just where they had came out. Steve and Eddie push the boat a little into the water, but have trouble when it gets stuck on something. Olivia growls in anger, walking forward and giving it a little shove with her foot, the boat slides into the water with ease.
Robin climbs in first, using Steve and Eddie's heads as leverage. Olivia goes to climb in but Steve objects, "No, your not coming." He shakes his head, Olivia completely ignores him and climbs into the boat, sliding into the seat beside Robin. Eddie climbs in after her, helping Nancy into the boat, she grins, thanking Eddie.
Dustin waves at Max and Lucas tryna climb into the boat, Eddie pushes him back, "hey, hey, hey, you tryna sink us? This thing holds 4 people, tops, okay?" The Raven haired boy goes and walks towards Liv, sitting beside her and holding her hand with a soft smile.
"It's better this way, okay? You guys stay here with Max. Keep an eye out trouble." Nancy explains.
"It would be easier with Liv." Dustin growls, crossing his arms.
"Sorry mate, but she stays with me." Eddie smiles at him.
"Plus, the upside down is scarier then here. I'm protection for them and Eddie, your not protecting me, I'm protecting you." Olivia pats his chest with a sarcastic smile, he narrows his eyes at her. "Keep an eye out, children."
"You keep an eye out." Dustin remarks, mocking Olivia. She turns too him, "Your literally the same age as us."
"I'm 17 Dusty Bun, your still 15." Dustin narrows his eyes, pouting and crossing his arms like a child.
"It's my god damn theory!" Dustin shouts, anger in his tone.
"You heard Nance." Robin nods her head a little bit, unbothered by The curly haired boy's anger.
"Who put her in charge!"
"I did."
"Compass." Nancy steps out of the boat carefully, holding her hand out. Dustin frowns, slouching his shoulders and pouting as he forcefully hands over the compass. Steve chucks something at Dustin, he grunts in pain watching as Steve pushes the boat and then climbs in. Olivia is forced to sit on the floor too make room for everyone, she pouts in anger when she finds herself staring at everyone's knees.
"You said four!" Dustin gasps, holding his hands out. Steve shrugs, giving him a sympathetic look as Eddie and Robin begin to paddle the boat.
"Bed time at nine kiddos!" Robin calls after them, Dustin holds his middle finger up, "Miss you already!"
---
THEY'VE BEEN PADDLING ACROSS THE lake for around 4 minutes before Nancy tells them to pause where they are, with a little struggle Robin and Eddie stop their paddling, the boat halting in the water. The compass is flicking around, spinning in circles, Olivia takes it out of Nancy's hands and looks around, standing up. "Liv?" Steve asks, she takes the walkie off of Robin and turns it on.
"Dustin, last time when you were near me with the compass, it went wonky, mental, right?" Olivia speaks threw the radio, looking at the compass. She feels blood trickling down her nose but ignores it, waiting for Dustin's answer.
"Yeah, it did." The Henderson finally replies.
"Okay." She flicks the radio off and turns around, "There's a gate down there, someone's gotta go down and check though, just to be 100% sure." Steve is already pulling his shoes and socks off, getting ready to go down. "Steve?"
"Someone has gotta go down and if any of you can top being a Hawkins high swim co - captain and a certified life guard for three years, then... its gotta be me, no complaints." He turns around, getting up and glancing into the water.
"Calm down Ariel." Olivia mumbles looking over the edge into the water, "No complaints from me, no way in hell am I going down there." She uses her finger to wipe the blood off her nose as Steve pulls his shirt off, "Jesus man, when did you get so hairy?" Steve turns to look at her and rolls his eyes as she slides into the seat beside Nancy and looks at Eddie, mouthing 'it should be you taking your shirt off'
