Bloodstream

I've been sitting here for ages, ripping out the pages.

How'd I get so faded? How'd I get so faded?

Oh, no, no, Don't leave me lonely now.

Eleven's point of view

We've finally figured out how to get our friends back.

As usual, we have to work everything out.

"Mike, I've got something," I said as I wrapped the towel around my eyes.

'El, small mishap, Annie's been taken over. I'll message later. I need my sister back.'

"It was Hayley," I whispered as I removed the towel, "she said we have to wait it out."

"Why?" He asked, a little confused.

"She said Annie's been taken over. Annie's been possessed, basically. She and Will are going to fix it. Just take note of this, Annie's been in the upside-down for a long while now. If her immune system can't fight it off, I don't believe Will's can."

"So what does that mean?"

"Keep him protected as much as you can when he gets back."

He nodded, I grabbed his hand, "Hayley and I will be there to help with it if it ever happens."

He squeezed my hand, "Thank you," he muttered.

"You're welcome, now the only problem is, what do we do until they get things settled with Annie?"

"I don't know, El. I really don't."

I nodded.

"Well, we need to try to get Lucas in on this," I sighed.

"He's not gonna cooperate until he cools down."

"So, what can we do?"

"Well we haven't updated Joyce in a while, so it's better that we do it now than wait until later."

He grabbed my hand, "That's a good idea, El."

He smiled as we made our way carefully out the basement door.

We got to the Byers's house as we walked up to the door.

"Look they think they've found Will's body, so Jonathan will be monitoring Joyce. We know he's alive, we just need to talk to Joyce."

I nodded, "Should we come back when things die down?"

"No, it's an uphill battle from here."

Mike knocked on the door.

"Go away, Mike!" what I'm assuming is Jonathan's voice, came through the door.

Mike tried to open the door, "Locked," he muttered.

I put a hand on his shoulder.

I unlocked the door and opened it.

"How did you two get in?" Jonathan asked freaking out.

"She's a badass what can I tell you," he shrugged.

I felt my face get hot.

"Where's Joyce."

"She doesn't need to be led on by you two kids. She definitely doesn't need to believe that Will's still alive."

"That's the same thing as being led on," Mike commented.
