003 (Billy Hargrove x OC)

Chapter 13

-003/Trisha Henderson POV-

"Let me out, you bitch!" yelled Billy. "Let me out! I'll fucking gut you!"
Max grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to her.
Seeing her brother act this way hurt her...

"Let me out!" he yelled and took the bar away.
Lucas shot a rock with his wrist thrower and it hit Billy in the face...
The lights began to flicker...

Billy was roaring... black vines all over his body...
He tried to open the door...
"He can't get out, can he?" asked Max.

"No way" said Lucas. "No way"
But the door was opening more and more with each hit...
Until he managed to get out...

El raised a lifting bar and threw it at Billy.
"Don't kill him!" I begged her.
Billy was fighting back... he threw the bar back at her.

I pushed her out of the way and Billy began choking me.
"Billy" I whimpered... I touched his face, he was crying... "I love you"
His grip softened, but his face was still in agony... Mike hit him with a metal bar.

"Go to hell you piece of shit!" he yelled and tried to hit him again.
Max was by my side, seeing if I was okay.
Eleven managed to use her powers to lift him.

"Do not hurt sister!" she screamed and pushed him outside.
"Trisha" said Max and looked at my throat... "Are you okay?"
"Billy" I managed to get out. "Where is he?"

"He's gone" she said. "He ran away"
"He's in there" I cried. "He's still in there, Max"
"I know" she said. "I saw"

I was hugging myself in another sweater of Billy. He left way too many of them at my place...
El was looking for Hopper, so he could help us.
"I found him" she said.

"Where is he?" asked Max.
"Woods" said El. "He's with... Will's mom"
"My mom?" asked Will.

"What are they doing?" asked Max.
"Ill-annoy" said El. "They're going to Ill-annoy"
"Mike! Breakfast!" it was Mike's mom...

"Not now, mom!" yelled Mike. "Illinois? Illinois, like the state? The state of Illinois?"
"Ill-annoy" repeated Eleven.

I went with El and Max into the bathroom, to clean the blood on El's face.
"Does it still hurt?" asked Max to me.
"Only when I talk" I said.

"Well, it's a good thing you're not Mike, then" she said. "Blah, blah, blah, blah. And you'd be in constant pain"
The boys were bickering... we could still hear them clearly.
"Boys" I sighed.

"Not now mom!" we heard Mike yell.
"Mike, open the door" it was Nancy.

~

"It was the same thing, the exact same thing that happened to Will last year" said Nancy, after explaining what happened at the hospital. "And look at this. Look at the body temperatures"
"He likes it cold" said Will.
"Okay, so this crazy old woman who was eating fertilizer..." began Mike.

"Mrs. Driscoll" said Nancy.
"Right, yeah, Mrs. Driscoll" said Mike. "What time was this attack?"
"Last night" said Nancy.

"But what time last night?" I asked.
"Around 9:00" she answered.
"You waited all night to call?" asked Jonathan.

"I was waiting for the doctors to run some tests" she said.
"You weren't there?" asked Will.
"Well, I'm here now, aren't I?" said Jonathan.

"Hallelujah" said Nancy.
"Ooh" said Lucas, I could feel the awkwardness...
"Um, so, what... what time was your... sauna test?" asked Nancy.

"Around 9:00" we all said.
"Well, that proves it" said Nancy. "That proves my theory"
"She's flayed, just like Billy" said Mike.

"Flayed?" asked Jonathan.
"The Mind Flayer" said Mike. "He flays people. Takes over their mind. Once they do that, they basically become him"
"If there are two flayed..." said Lucas.

"We have to assume there are more" finished Will.
"Heather" said Eleven. "Billy was doing something to her. She was scared. She was screaming. Bad screams"
"What's a good scream?" asked Lucas.

"Max said..." began El.
"Doesn't matter" interjected Max.
"I'm sorry, I'm lost" said Nancy. "Who is Heather?"

"She is a lifeguard at the pool" I said.
"Heather Holloway?" she asked and looked at Jonathan.
"Tom" they said in union.
