eleven was screaming and clutching onto sophie's hand tightly. cameron had handed sophie the wooden spoon jonathan gave her. the boy then offered her a heated-up knife since he had to sterilize it.

cameron braced her herself. "okay, eleven. i'm gonna be honest here, it's going to be painful." the younger girl nodded, groaning.

eleven bit into the wooden spoon, crying. sophie wiped her tears, whispering sweet nothings into her ear.

it helped a bit. "you know, it's not actually that bad. there was a. . . the goalie on my soccer team, beth wildfire, this other girl slid into her leg, and the whole bone came out of her knee, six inches or something, it was insane." everyone stared at the buckley girl.

"robin." steve asked. "yeah?"

"you're not helping,"

"i'm sorry,"

cameron sighed again. "okay, everyone. shut the hell up from now on, i'm about to start. el, press soph when you're ready then i'll start."

eleven pressed hard on sophie's arm, clutching as if her life depended on it. sophie nodded to cameron who put the knife down, putting on plastic gloves, taking the knife again.

"3, 2, 1." she cut into the skin, everyone groaned at the horrifying sight. jonathan stayed behind cameron if she needed help.

she handed the knife to jonathan who took it immediately. "hard part's here. stay with me, el."

max watched cameron with soft eyes, unaware of how eleven was crying when the girl put her hands deeply into her skin. mike groaned, sophie squeezed her eyes.

after two minutes, cameron grabbed it successfully. el let out a piercing scream causing the glass behind them to shatter.

everyone covered themselves, steve covered el and sophie since the two were focused on helping the other. cameron smiled victoriously, throwing the creature away.

it fubbled on the floor until a boot crushed it. everyone looked up and saw ms. byers, hopper and some random guy with cool glasses.

they were explaining the stories of the secret russian base underground and them ruining hopper's cabin. cameron was practically half asleep and couldn't remember anything they said.

cameron had her head on robin's legs, then they had to go somewhere else to explain something else. cameron was basically done at that point.

she was just side-hugging robin so she wouldn't fall fully asleep. robin didn't mind, she was thoroughly enjoying it.

"what, you're just gonna waltz in there like it's commie disneyland or something?" erica asked blue ray or something cameron can't remember his name.

"i'm sorry, who are you?"

"erica sinclair. who are you?"
