There's No Place Like Hawkins//Stranger Things. SH

THIRTY SIX

The Spy

Cat was asleep in a hospital chair next to Will, a blanket draped over her. Although she was sleeping and looked peaceful, she was far from it. In her mind she was in hell. Trapped in the Upside Down, with no way out.

The Demogorgon was chasing her through the woods of Hawkins, except that they weren't the woods of Hawkins. Not really. She ran as fast as her legs would allow. A scream escaped her lips as another monster appeared in front of her. She span around in a circle quickly, seeing that she was completely surrounded. She cursed. There was no way out of this. She let out another scream as at once all the Demogorgons pounced on her. She collapsed to the floor, curling up into a ball as one after another, claws scratched at her, ripping her skin.

With a jolt and a gasp she shot up in her seat, her hands throwing the blanket off her body. A muffled voice sounding from Mike's bag caught her attention and she reached into it, pulling out his walkie-talkie. She stood up from her chair and headed for the door, letting Joyce and Bob know that she was just going for some air. Joyce told her to stay close and not to wander off, seeing how the shadow monster was still hunting her and they all wanted her to be safe.

"Hello?" She spoke into the device as she walked down the halls of the lab.

"Kit? Is that you?" Her brother's voice came through the radio.

Cat scoffed, but smiled nonetheless. She was glad to hear her brother's voice. "Of course it's me, dipshit. Who else would I be?"

"Will, or Mike."

"They're asleep, so... It's been a long couple of days. What do you want?"

"Meet me and Steve in the old junkyard."

"Why the fuck are you with Steve? He's my best friend and monster fighting buddy. Not yours."

"Lucas is meeting us too. Just be there."

Cat sighed as she walked down the hallways. "I can't promise I'll be there. There's kind of a situation happening here... well several and I'm not sure Hopper will let me out of his sight. He thinks I'm in danger."

"Hopper's with you?"

Cat nodded, forgetting for a moment that her brother couldn't actually see her. A commotion down one of the hallways behind her alerted and she spun around, hearing Bob call out for a doctor. "I have to go." She told Dustin.

"Are you coming to the junkyard or not?" Dustin asked but he didn't get an answer as she raced down the hallway, the walkie-talkie slipping from her hands as she hurried to get back to Will's hospital room. She arrived just as Owens was asking Will some questions about his memory. She slid to a stop next to Hopper, the chief pulling her close to him to make sure she was alright.

"Do you know your name?" The doctor asked.

"Will."

"Your full name?"
