We were running to get the hell out of there. I kept the kids in front of me. I tripped as Mike fell.

"Help! Help! Help! Help!" I pulled him. He was stuck in something or even something grabbed him.

"Hold on!" Steve yelled as he ran back to us.

"Everybody back! Back!" I yelled at the kids as me and Steve helped Mike. Steve grabbed his bat and started to hit whatever it was. Everyone started to ask if Mike was okay.

"Guys, we gotta go!" Steve ran to the front and we followed. We all stopped to see a demodog. My eyes widen.

"Dart." Dustin said. "Shh. Stop."

"Dustin, get back." Max warned him.

"Trust me, please." He said. He looked at Dart and smiled. "Hey. It's me, it's me. It's just your friend, it's Dustin. It's Dustin, all right? You remember me? Will you let us pass?" Dart snarls. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry about the storm cellar. That was a pretty douchey thing to do. You hungry? Yeah?" He grabs something from his backpack.

"He's insane." Lucas whispered.

"Don't." Mike said to Dustin.

"Shut up." Steve told them.

"I've got our favorite." Dustin waved a candy bar in its face. "See? Nougat. Look at that. Yummy." Dustin fed it. "Here, all right? Eat up, buddy. Come on. Come on." Dustin signaled us to keep moving.

"Let's go. In front me go." I told the kids. Dustin left the candy and Dart ate it. I let him say his goodbye and we ran out of there.

"Let's go, let's go!" We heard a howling noise.

"What was that?" Max said.

"They're coming." We all stopped running. "Run! Run! Let's go!" We ran again.

"Let's go! Come on, Mike! Move, Mike!" Dustin said as he pushed everyone.

"There, there!" Lucas yelled as we were close to rope.

"Come on! Let's go. Go, go, go! Let's go! Come on! Come on!" Steve and I pushed the kids up to the surface.

"Come on! Come on, hurry up! Come on, come on, come on!" Steve said as we had two more kids left. "Here." He pushed Dustin up. It was just me and him. "Wendy! Come on!"

"No! You go first!" I yelled at him.

"This is not for discussion." He argued.

"Shit!" Steve and I hugged as the dogs ran. I covered my face into his chest as he put his face into my shoulder.
