(your outfit)

i wake up to the sound of nancy yelling.

"aren't you supposed to be on max watch?" nancy asks dustin.

i slowly sit up from the hard floor of mike's basement.

"yep. yep, yep, yep. sorry." dustin rubs his eyes.

"okay, then, where is she?" nancy asks in a panicked voice.

"what's going on?" i spoke.

"she's right there." dustin points at the couch, but no one is sitting there.

"a second ago. i swear, i just dozed off for..." dustin checks his watch.

his face becomes pale as he looks up to nance. "an hour..."

"what the hell is happening?" u ask again.

"your girlfriend's gone!" nancy replied. "what?" i raised my voice.

"where is max?" i ask.

"that's what we're trying to figure out!" nancy and dustin stands up. dustin stumbles as they make their way upstairs.

"hey, wait up!" i catch up to them.

we hurriedly went up the stairs.

we see mike's mom cooking pancakes and mike's dad reading a newspaper.

we look to the table and saw max and holly.

we sigh in relief.

"morning, guys!" mrs. wheeler greets us. "everything okay?" she asks us. "yeah." nancy replied, almost out of breath.
"yeah, everything's okay."

max turns her head to us.
"i think it's so sweet that you guys are sticking together like this." mrs. wheeler said.

"could try sticking together at a different house for a change." mr. wheeler spoke.

"uh..." i let out a sound.
"you know you guys are welcome anytime." mrs. wheeler turns to us. nancy walks over to max.
"thanks you, mrs. wheeler." i told her.

"totally, you're like family." dustin added.
"may i?" dustin asks as he points to the pancakes.
"absolutely." she replied.

"abigail?" mrs. karen asks, she points to the pancakes.
"oh, no. i'm not hungry, but thank you for offering, mrs. wheeler." i smile softly.

i walk over to nancy and max, and sat down next to nancy.

"you okay?" nancy asks her.
"just couldn't sleep." she responded.

"people kept blasting music in my ears, for some reason." max playfully smirks.

nancy and i quietly chuckled.
"but holly let me borrow some of her crayons. we've been having a fun morning, right, holly?" max smiles.
"mm-hmm." holly responded.

we look at max's drawings. it's full of red backrounds and objects.
"is this what you saw last night?" nancy questions.

"i mean, it's supposed to be. i thought it'd be easier to draw it out than to explain it, but... not so much." she stated.

nancy looks at another drawing.
it's two people stuck on a tall standing objects. it appears to be fred and chrissy.

"it was like they were on display, or something." max stated.
"that's awful." i said.

"and then there was this red fog everywhere."

"it was like a dream. a nightmare."

"do you think that vecna's just trying to scare you?" nancy asks.
