(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Max!? What are you doing here!? Why did you bring her here!?" (y/n) yells out to Lucas and he jumps, rubbing his neck bashfully.

"She wanted to come when I told her you were helping..."

"You what!?" (y/n) went full mama protective mode as Lucas and Max walked over to her and the two other numbskulls behind her.

"I want to help. I'm not hiding away while you risk yourself against a demon." Max huffs out and (y/n) just sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"You stubborn little shit..." (y/n) chuckles as she pulls Max in to hug her, the redhead squeezing her back. "Have you told your brother though? I asked him to look for you..." Max freezes in fear, shaking her head.

"Shit..."

"I'll deal with him when we see him ok." Max nods and helps (y/n) and Steve with building a trap while the two little boys hid behind a car arguing, Dustin mad that Lucas told Max and Lucas mad at Dustin that he told (y/n). But the two agreed they needed the extra help.

"Hey! Dickheads! How come the only oneshelping me out are the girls?" Steve yells out and the boys jump.

"We lose light like in 40 minutes so get your asses moving!" (y/n) calls out.

"Yes Ma'am!" the boys salute her and run around, finally helping.

"Damn, they really are scared of you." Max chuckles and (y/n) grins.

"As they should be."

The two adults and the three kids all start moving scrap metal and barrels around the junkyard, helping each other set up the trap. (y/n) spilled oil from the pile of meat, walking backwards to the bus behind her. The others covered up all the holes in the bus using the scrap metal and tyres. It got dark quickly and everyone huddled up in the bus, Steve taking one last look around before shutting the door.

"Everyone good?" (y/n) whispers and everyone nods. Lucas climbs up the ladders to the escape route on the roof of the bus, using his binoculars to find Dart. Steve was playing with his lighter, Max and (y/n) sitting next to each other as Max laid her head against (y/n)'s shoulder.

"So you really foughtone of these things before?" Max asks and Steve nods. "And you're, like, totally,100% sure it wasn't a bear?"

"Shit. Don't be an idiot. Okay?It wasn't a bear." Dustin exclaims in annoyance, going off at Max about why she was here if she didn't believe him.

"Dustin, calm down. I didn't believe you until I saw physical proof of the skin and the hole ok. People are different. Some are just going to put faith in you, others need to see it with their eyes. So sit your ass down." (y/n) hisses out and Dustin glares at her before leaning against the wall of the bus away from the girls.

"Geesh. Someone's cranky.Past your bedtime?" Max hisses out, getting up to climb the ladder and hang out with Lucas since Dustin pissed her off.

"I'm sorry..." Dustin mumbles out.

"It's not me you should be apologising too." (y/n) says, leaning her head back as she listened to Max talk about her life and Billy.

"My stepbrother's always been a dick, he used to be so angry all the time but now... he seems nicer. I don't know he hated the move and our parents getting together but I don't think it bothers him too much."

"Why do you think that is?" Lucas asks.

"I think... I think it's because of (y/n). She has been helping us both even though she moved here after us, especially helping Billy. I think he likes her..." (y/n) freezes at that, sitting up and looking at Steve wondering if he heard that as well but he was too busy talking to Dustin.

Max is joking, right?

Right!?

Everyone suddenly stops when they hear a loud growl rip through the night, getting up to look through the bars. "You see him?" Dustin whispers.

"No..." Steve shakes his head.

"Lucas, what's up?" (y/n) asks him, standing by the ladder.

"Hold on!" He looks around, standing on the roof of the bus. "I've got eyes! Ten o'clock! Ten o'clock!" He stutters out.

"You two get down now!" (y/n) hisses out, pulling Lucas and Max into the safety of the bus.

"He's not taking the bait.Why is he not taking the bait?" Steve says.

"I think he knows..." (y/n) whispers out, looking out the window. Steve purses his lips, going to grab his bat. "Steve, what the fuck do you think you're doing?" (y/n) catches the lighter he passes to her, her heart racing as fear swamped her now that she really was going to be facing this demon.

"Just get ready." He opens the door and walks out, his bat raised to wack a bitch.

"Hold this." (y/n) passes Dustin the lighter, standing by the open bus door with the rifle in her hands aimed as a backup for Steve who whistles for the demon dog.

"What's he doing!?"

"Expanding the menu..." Dustin answers Max.

"He's insane."

"He's awesome."

"He's a dead man." (y/n) hisses out and the kids look at her with wide eyes. "Holy fuck..." she gasps out seeing the creature through the rifle telescope. "Dustin, you idiot..." She hisses at him, wondering who in their goddamn right mind keeps a demon!?

"Steve, watch out!" Lucas yells out, seeing another demo-dog behind him.

"A little busy here!" Steve yells back.

"Three o'clock! Three o'clock!" (y/n) turns to see more demo-dogs through the telescope, quickly firing at them. They howl in pain as her body jolts back from the impact of the bullets being fired continuously.

"Thank fuck for the silencer..." (y/n) hisses out, the noise not making it too loud to attract the demons to the bus but there were so many of them behind Steve. "Steve! Fucking run!" He stumbles back and heads straight for the bus as the dogs chase after him, Dustin shutting the door close as (y/n) pulls Steve in. The kids were all screaming in fear, clambering to keep the door guarded. Steve used his feet to hold off the demons but everyone screams as they break through. "Move!" (y/n) growls out, taking out her axe and swinging it down on the demon to slice through its arm.

"Is anyone there? Mike? Will? God! Anyone!" Dustin screams into his walkie talkie, begging for someone to send help. "We're at the old junkyard,and we are going to die!" he screams. 

"(y/n)!" Max screams out as she hears something climbing on the roof of the bus and the older swears, rushing towards the kids and shoving them away from the open hatch before firing at the demon dog. It howls and jumps away, falling off the bus.

"Wait!" Dustin stops (y/n) before she could climb up the hatch, everyone freezing as they hear all the demons howling before running off away from the Junkyard. Everyone held their breath, looking around but (y/n) climbed up the ladder to check.

"They're... all gone..." she gasps out, seeing the fog cleared and the demons gone. "They ran away..." the kids and Steve climb out of the bus, looking around.

"No. They're going somewhere..."

~~~~~~~~

Steve and (y/n) guided the kids back to their cars down the old train tracks, the boys talking about recognising one of the demon dogs as the pet Dart Dustin looked after. "Are you ok?" (y/n) asks Max who was holding her tightly, the olders arm wrapped around her shoulder securely.

"I don't know... what about you?" Max asks and (y/n) lets out a shaky sigh.

"Fucking terrified. I need a drink."

"Same here..." Steve mutters out and the two laugh lowly. Max jumped from a twig snapping and (y/n) held her close.

"You're ok... I'm not letting anything hurt you ok." Max nods, holding a tight grip on the axe (y/n) gave to her as she held the rifle, the boys looking out with their flashlights. They were all arguing, coming to a stop when Lucas found out Dustin kept Dart. "Keep moving dumbasses." (y/n) hisses out, smacking them both on the upside of their heads. "You can fight and walk. Don't stop till we get to the cars." She orders and the boy's power walk off, still fighting.

"You broke the rule of law!"

"So did you!" (y/n) sighs in annoyance as the kids yell at each other, looking over at Steve who walked off to the forest when he heard something.

"Hey, guys..." Steve says but the boys were still fighting until (y/n) grabbed Dustin and Lucas ear, pulling them away from each other as they whined out to her to let them go.

"Ow ow ow!"

"Both you fucking shut it!" (y/n) hisses out.

"Ok ok! Sorry!" Dustin and Lucas both cry out, sighing in relief as (y/n) lets them go. Everyone goes silent and that's when they hear it, the loud screeching.

"No, no, no. Hey, guys,why are you headed towards the sound!?" Max calls out as the boys run over through the forest.

"This is why we women last longer than men..." (y/n) groans out, taking Max with her to follow the boys as they stop at the top of a hill overlooking Hawkins.

" I don't see him." Dustin says and Lucas looks through his binoculars.

" It's the lab. They were going back home."

"That can't be it." (y/n) speaks up and everyone looks at her. "They can't just appear to attack us and run away home with their tails between their legs. Something is going on in that lab."

"No one uses that lab." Dustin says.

"Really, then why are the lights on. Someone is in there operating."

"They're in trouble..." Lucas gasps.

"Or it's too late..." Steve mutters out.
