003 (Billy Hargrove x OC)

Chapter 5

-003/Trisha Henderson POV-

"So, what's going on between you and Hargrove?" asked Steve and I rolled my eyes.
"We're just talking" I said. "And before you ask, he has not tried to do anything"
"Yet" said Steve and I sighed.

"I know he has anger issues" I said. "But he's different. You can't see further than the anger. But... Steve. I felt what is beneath the anger. And... what I felt... I just cannot let it go. I cannot abandon him"
"If you're certain" he said. "I just don't want you to get hurt"
"I already have been hurt" I said.

"Not like this, Trisha" he said. "Not like this"
"You don't know" I whispered. "Nothing can hurt more"
"Will you ever tell us?" asked Dustin.

"One day" I whispered. "Not today"
Steve played my favourite mixtape and I smiled.
"Thank you" I whispered.
"I won't doubt you" he said. "Not again. If you say Billy can be an okay guy... I'll believe you"
I smiled. "Thank you, Steve"

"Wait a sec" said Steve, after Dustin explained everything. "How big?"
"First it was like that" said Dustin, creating a small space between his fingers. "Now he's like this" creating a space lager between his hands.

"I swear to God, man" said Steve. "It's just some little lizard, okay?"
"It's not a lizard" said Dustin.
"How do you know?" asked Steve.

"How do I know if it's not?" asked Dustin.
"How do you know it's not just a lizard?" asked Steve.
"Because his face opened up and he ate our cat" said Dustin.

"What happened with not doubting me anymore?" I asked Steve.
"I don't doubt you, I doubt him" said Steve, pointing at Dustin.

We arrived at our home, it was dark...
Steve got the bat with nails out of his trunk.
We went to the cellar and it was quiet...

"I don't hear shit" said Steve.
"It's a wonder my sister hasn't started cursing yet with you foul mouthed people" said Dustin.
"You're not really one to talk, Dustin" I sighed. "He is in there, Steve. I put it in there myself"

"Hold on, you let your sister use her telekinetic powers?" asked Steve. "You know what it does to her!"
"How about you boys worry less about me and more about the monster?" I asked.
Steve hit the door, to see if the monster was awake. But no sound came...

"All right, listen, kid" said Steve. "I swear, if this is some sort of Halloween prank, you're dead"
"It's not" said Dustin.
"All right?" said Steve.

"It's not a prank, Steve" I said.
"Fine" said Steve. "You got a key for this thing?"
I opened the cellar, and it was still quiet...

"Let me see that" said Steve and grabbed the torchlight.
"He must be further down there" said Dustin. "I'll stay up here in case he tries to escape"
"And do what?" I asked.

Steve just sighed.
"I'll go down with you" I said and he nodded.
We walked down to the basement and I turned on the light.

"What the hell?" said Steve, he found the skin of Dart.
"Ew" I said.
"That's not all" he said and pointed at a hole in the wall.

"Oh no" I said.
"Steve? Three?" asked Dustin. "What's going on down there?"
"Get down here" said Steve.

"Oh shit" said Dustin when he saw the skin of Dart. "Oh, shit!" was when he saw the hole in the wall.
"No way, no way" he said.
"This is bad, isn't it?" I asked and they both nodded.
"Bad is an understatement, T" said Dustin.

We gathered meat and went into the forest.
"Dustin, this is Lucas. Do you copy? Dustin?" it came from Dustin's radio.
"Well, well, well, look who it is" said Dustin.
"Sorry man" said Lucas. "My stupid sister turned it off"

"Well, when you were having sister problems, Dart grew again, he escaped and I'm pretty sure he's a baby Demogorgon" said Dustin.
"Wait, what?" asked Lucas.
"I'll explain later" said Dustin. "Just meet me, Steve and Three at the old junkyard"

"Steve?" asked Lucas.
"And bring your binoculars and wrist rocket" said Dustin.
"Steve Harrington?" asked Lucas again.
"All right, let's go" said Steve.
"Just be there, stat. Over and out" said Dustin to Lucas.
