Vecna's back, that's who!

Yep. That one. The one who directly murdered three teens, technically killed another, and destroyed other homes and lives by ripping the whole town of Hawkins in half.

The three teens- William Byers, Maxine Mayfield, and Edward Munson- were just staring at each other when Eddie muttered "shit," and started pacing. Everyone else was still seated, their eyes moving back and forth as though they were watching a tennis match.

"It's only been a year! 11 months, and this dude just shows up out of no where and tries to kill us again? Shit. Shit, shit, shit."

He rambled on for a few minutes, as the others just stared blankly, too confused to move. And that's when Robin walked downstairs. She stopped dead in her tracks. "What the hell?!" she inquired, a gasp emitting from Erica as the girl nearly ran into her. "Watch- the heck are you doing?"

"Uh... Guys?" Will said softly. "He's back. Vecna's back."

*cue confused screaming*

The room instantaneously erupted into chaos, questions being pitted at Eddie, Max, and Will. Thank God Karen and Ted weren't home- they were having lunch at KFC at this point, because it was noon- because otherwise they presence of Murray, Jim, Argyle, and Eddie might've been a little conspicuous. Ya know, just a tad bit concerning to have random adults, an obviously high dude with long hair, and an ex-convict in your basement, screaming about a monster- not to mention that your kids weren't at all concerned about the strangers' presence, and were even joining them in the chaos.

After a while, they'd calm down. But the three still had a hell of a lot of explaining to do, and I would go right back to how it had just been.
