Venus

"Hi Mrs Wheeler, I'm Venus, Venus Hargrove." I speak standing on the Wheeler's doorstep, looking like a I haven't been crying all night. Makeup is a girl's best friend.

"Billy's sister. Are you here for Nancy? She's mentioned you before, you're even prettier than she described. They're in the basement." "It's the same thing. The exact same thing that happened to Will last year. And look at this. Look at the body temperatures."

Where the hell are Steve and Dustin? I was sitting in Mikes basement with everyone besides those two. I watched Nancy as she paced back and forth explaining what happened at the hospital last night.

"He likes it cold." Will pointed out. "Ok, so this crazy old woman who was eating fertilizer-" Mike started but Nancy cut him off clarifying the woman's name. "Mrs. Driscoll." "Right, yeah, Mrs Driscoll. What time was this attack?" "Last night." "Right what time last night?"

"Around 9." Nancy answered. "You waited all night to call?" Jonathan whispered. In a weird way they were kind of cute. "I was waiting for the doctors to run some tests." "You weren't there?" Will questioned.

"Well I'm here now aren't I?" "Hallelujah." I take that back something is definitely going on. "Um, so, wha- what time was your... Santa test." It's still hard for me to wrap my head around this whole thing.

Max was the one to hold me as I cried this time. "El told me if they can stop the mind flyer then Billy would be ok. "Around 9." All the kids nodded. "Then that proves it. That proves my theory. "She's flayed, just like Billy." Mike shook his head.

"Flayed?" Jonathan questions. "The mind flayer. He flays people. Takes over their mind. Once they do that, they basically become him." Mike explained. "If there are two flayed-" "We have to assume there are more." Will spoke cutting off Lucas.

"Heather." El spoke up. "Billy was doing something to her. She was scared. She was screaming. Bad screaming.

Bad scream? Then- "Whats a good scream?" Lusca's spoke asking what I was thinking out loud. "Max said-" "It doesn't matter." "I'm sorry, I'm lost. Who's Heather?"

"Heather Holloway." I speak. Making Nancy and Jonathan give each other a look. "Tom." And before I new it we were pilled up in Jonathan's car.

The Halloway's house looked like a complete crime scene. And reeked of chemicals. The house was empty. And we decided to take it straight to the source.

That was why we were currently at the hospital. "See, you're the only one who gon' tell- Whoa, who, whoa! Excuse me! Where do you think you're going." The lady behind the desk stopped us as we tried to walk past her.

"Oh, um. I was just going to visit my grandma again." Nancy smiled. "And this... this is my family." But she wasn't buying it as she looked at Lucas. "Extended." "I don't care who they are. You know the rules. Two visitors at a time."

God kill me now. I groan. Nancy and Jonathan went up while I wait with the kids in the waiting room. "And you guys haven't heard from Dustin at all?" I ask Will.

Everyone was kind of doing their own thing but he was sitting alone, so I sat with him. I needed to sit still for a moment.

"No." He shook his head. Where the hell are you Steve Harrington? My world is going to shit and you're the only thing I can seem to think about.

And that makes me feel selfish. Because when this is all over, I don't just want my brother to be the most important person in my life anymore. "You're dating Steve?"

"What? No." "Oh, well it's just that Dustin doesn't shut up about Steve who doesn't shut up about you."

"Well enough about me, what about you Will? It must be hard seeing all your friends in relationships. Do you have your eye and anyone?" I sigh, turning my body to face him. "Not really." Will squirmed.

I was always good at reading people, and you didn't have to be a rocket scientist to tell that he was upset. "You can tell me the truth. I won't tell anyone. I promise. Cross my heart and hope to die."

"...Its just that it's like our friendship doesn't matter anymore. The OG party. I wouldn't even call us friends anymore we're just people who hangout together... Well that's how it feels for me. Mike would rather be with El. Lucas with Max, and Dustin with Steve."

"You feel like you're floating adrift in your own life. I know you may think that they don't care they do. It's just their first girlfriends. They'll soon realize that friendship matters the most. You should have seen me with my first boyfriend. Now I didn't have any friends but I so realized that no matter what my brother was always gonna be their for me. So I had to show him how much I appreciated him, because he was my family. Which is so much more than blood. So don't stop trying to make an effort to keep yours together. Once they see how hard you're fighting, they'll fight too." He smiled at me until he became focused on the flickering lights above us.

He stands up and starts to follow them. Causing everyone to stand noticing the lights getting worse. "He's here." We all start heading towards the elevator knowing we have to get to Nancy and Jonathan.

The elevator was taking forever. "We don't have time for this. Stairs." I motion as I lead the way running up the emergency stairs. It was worse up here. We found Jonathan thing to break a window to get into a room.

"It's in there with her!" He painiced as El took the lead blasting the door away. And holy shit. "Jesus!" "What the f-" It started racing towards us but El caught it slamming it back and forth into the wall then up before bringing it it back down and shooting it out the window.

I'm not sure if I should be scared or impressed. But i am for sure felling sick. It looked like a bunch of organs and shit squished together. Ehhhh. "Go."

As Jonathan ran to get Nancy the rest of us ran outside, we stopped as we watched it melt and slip down the drain. Leaving nothing but a few bones behind. This is really my life at the moment. Freaking Scooby Doo x Nancy Drew.
