WE ALL stood in the hallway, looking up at the chandelier as the lights twinkled.

"It's like the Christmas lights." I say.

"The Christmas lights?" Robin whispers.

"Yeah," I whisper back to her, "When Will was in the Upside Down, the lights... came to life."

"Vecna's here." Lucas says, "In this house."

"Just on the other side." I say.

The lights suddenly stop flickering.

"I think he just left the room." Robin says.

"Did he hear us?" Max asks.

"Can he see us?" Steve asks.

Lucas looks over at Max with urgency.

"Headphones." He says.

She puts them on her head, quickly, then Steve looks over at me.

"We need to get you some of those." He whispers.

"Whatever, let him take me." I say nonchalant.

Steve's eyes widen and I shoot my hands up in defense.

"Kidding! I was kidding!" I whisper.

Steve shakes his head and sighs at me.

"You're a piece of work." He whispers.

Before I have the chance to tell him off, Nancy starts to speak.

"Wait, wait. Everyone, turn off your flashlights and spread out." She says.

"Were not going to be able to see if we turn off our flash... lights." Steve says as everyone walks away.

I turn off my light and go to walk off, but Steve grabs my arm and turns me to face him.

"Nuh-uh. You're staying with me." He says.

"Oh, really?" I tease, "I thought I was a piece of work?"

"You are, but I wanna work it." He smirks.

I shake my head at him and cross my arms.

"You're a freak." I say.

"For you, darling." He responds.

I turn away and start to walk off, a smile inevitably appearing on my face. I thank the higher powers that it was dark so Steve couldn't tease me about it. I hear him follow at my heels as I walk through the dim halls of the decrepit house.

"I got him!" I hear Robin shout, "Got him!"

Steve and I run in the direction she was shouting, to see her facing her flashlight upwards while the light flickered. As soon as it started, the flickering stopped.

"I... I had him." She said, disappointed.

Suddenly, Steve's flashlight starts to flicker.
