(y/n) - your name

(b/n) - brothers name

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

"Shit!" (y/n) screeches out, seeing bags of sand on the other side and she throws her body against the door to try and push them away. "Come on!" She yells out, stumbling past a large enough gap and bolting down the stairs. She runs down an empty hallway, trying to look for a way out as the damn creature chased after her. "I'm not fucking fit for this shit!" she screams out, skidding into an empty room and quickly locking the door just before the creature could get in. (y/n) breathes out heavily, backing away from the door when she hears silence and she prays that it goes away, but stumbles back as she sees the bloody goo seep from underneath the door and the vents. "No, fuck no!" She cries out.

"(y/n)!?" she hears Billy and she cries out for him.

"Billy!" he sneers as he sees the creature seep under the door, rushing towards it to try and slam it open with his body. "Billy please!" His heart sinks hearing (y/n) cry for him and he frantically looks around for something to break the doorknob or the window.

"I'm coming (y/n)!" he screams out as she watches the creature reform in front of her, towering over her.

"Billy-" he screams out for (y/n) as he hears her cry out, the creature throwing her against the wall and she falls to the floor, gasping in pain from the stabbing in her chest. She struggled to breathe, eyes blurring and faintly hearing Billy yell out for her. She cries as she leans back away from the creature that crawled over her, praying to someone as it opened its mouth. "Please..." It roared at (y/n), lifting its arms to plunge into her body when it suddenly turns around as the door breaks open.

"What the fuck!?" the kids gasp out at the monster in front of them and Eleven quickly raises the monster, screaming at it as she smashes it all over the room. It growls at her and she uses her powers to throw it out of the room, it flying through the window and smashing against the ground below.

"(y/n)!?" Billy rushes into the room, skidding to his knees in front of her as she cried, curled in a ball from absolute terror. "(y/n), I'm here, I'm here ok." he held her face as she wailed, struggling to breathe as the pain smothered her chest.

"Billy, I can't breathe-" she gasps out, crying heavily and Billy looks at her in worry, trying to figure out how to help her. His chest burned with panic seeing (y/n) in pain, her breathing becoming shallow.

"What's wrong!? Where are you hurt!? (y/n)!?" Billy struggled to keep her awake as her breathing started to hurt.

"(y/n)!?" Billy turns around to see his sister, her gasping as she ran over to him.

"What's happening to her!? Did it get her!?"

"She's having a panic attack!" Max exclaims, the others running in. "Give her space! Don't crowd her!"

"(y/n), just look at me, just look at me. I'm here with you, I'm not going anywhere." Billy takes in a deep breath, hoping she would copy him, but her breathing became shorter and shorter.

"It hurts-I can't-Billy I can't-" she wheezes and he panics as her eyes start to droop.

"Stay awake, stay awake! Guys what do I do!?" Billy screams out and Jonathan rushes out to find an oxygen tank and a mask, hoping it would help until they got proper help. "Come on (y/n), come on darling." Billy begs as he puts the mask on her, cradling her head against his arms as she passes out. "(y/n)?" Billy whispers, pressing his fingers against her neck to still feel a pulse.

"She might have broken something. Maybe a rib..." Nancy breathes out, panting from all the running and Billy nods, carefully picking (y/n) up in his arms. Everyone in the group watches with wide eyes at how gentle Billy was with (y/n), seeing the deep concern on his face as he kissed her head and they knew he cared deeply for her.

~~~~~~~~

"So you knew where the source was, this entire time!?

"We weren't sure! That's just where we got attacked!"

"And you didn't bother to tell us this!?

"(y/n) and I told you but you didn't believe us! We told you that there was something trying to grab us from that abandoned factory!" Billy hisses as he fights with Nancy. "Plus we told the fucking punks over there as well! Did they not fill you in!?" the adults looked at the kids who were watching with wide eyes.

"It may, or may not have slipped our minds..." Mike says and Billy growls at him.

"Either way, we need to make sure first before we go and get ambushed." Max says but Mike disagrees.

"It's going to be too much for El if she tries to go into (b/n)'s mind! What if something bad happens!? She's over using her powers already-" Eleven holds Mike's hand, shaking her head.

"I need you to trust me." he quietens down but sighs in defeat, nodding and letting his girlfriend put the blindfold on. Eleven takes in a deep breath, standing in the abyss but sees (y/n)'s brother sitting on a bed without moving. She slowly walks over to him, taking hold of his hand gently.

"(b/n)? Can you hear me? I want to see. I want to see what happened." 

Eleven asks, (y/n)'s brother slowly looking up at her until he grabs her arm tightly and she screams, trying to free herself from his grip.

"Stop! No! No! No!" 

She screams out as she tried to pry his hand off her and she falls back when he lets her go, visions flashing through her head. Eleven gasps as she falls onto hard flooring, looking around to see that she was in a bedroom.

"Hey, don't pay attention to them ok. Just look at me." She quickly sits up, recognising a voice and turns around to see (y/n) but younger with a little boy. They were laying next to each other in a race car bed, (y/n) covering the boy's ears from the yelling match that occurred outside his closed bedroom door.

"They're fighting again..." he whimpers and (y/n) shakes her head.

"They're just, having a passionate conversation. Try to sleep."

"I can't..."

"What if I sang to you?"

"You sound horrible when you sing." (y/n) gasps in feign hurt.

"Well damn kid. I know when I'm not loved. I'll just leave you-"

"-no! Stay please... sing for me please."

"I was going to anyway."

"And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God and I'd get him to swap our places. Be running at the road, be running up that hill, be running up that building. Say, if only I could, oh~"

"Kid, what's happening?" Billy asks.

"In... her brother's bedroom. She's singing to him... 'make a deal with god... swap our places... running up that hill'. Parents fighting... they look so happy..."

"I think that's a memory..." Billy mutters out.

"I think I see it... the source..." Eleven says, looking out the window to see a grown version of (b/n) sneaking out into a swarm of red smoke and fog before following him. "He... he caught a plane... walked on the side of the road until people gave him a ride..."

"He was hitchhiking?" Nancy asks.

"He's looking for his sister..." Eleven says. " I see him in Hawkins... Its dark... he's walking on the road waiting for someone. There's a car. It stopped."

"Where?" Jonathan pushes.

"Just trees. He's showing a picture of (y/n) to the driver, asking if they saw her."

"And?"

"He got a ride from the person, dropped them off at a factory."

"You guys were right..." Nancy looks at Billy with regret and he narrows his eyes at her.

"Brimborn... Steelworks..."

"El, get out!" Mike begs her and she looks around, gasping as she watches (y/n)'s brother stand in front of the factory, trying to look at a map before something grabs him and pulls him down into the dark depths. 

"No!" She screams out, panting before closing her eyes and opening them again to re-emerge in the abyss before snatching the blindfold off. "Mike?" she gasps out, seeing that she was alone in her house. She calls for him over and over, crying.

"He can't hear you." Eleven turns around to see (b/n) standing in front of her and she steps back in fear. "You shouldn't have looked for me. Because now I see you. Now we can all see you." (b/n) snarls, pointing at Eleven. 

"El!" Mike screams out as he tried to shake her awake but she trembled in his arms.

"El! Wake up!" The others call out to her as she cried. 

"Eleven!" (y/n) gasps as she hears her screaming, running down the stairs and ignoring Billy as she kneels in front of her, holding her face. "Eleven it's (y/n), follow my voice ok. Throw him away, get him out of your head. I know you can do it!" she begs, taking hold of her hands and Eleven gasps as she manages to finally take her blindfold off, crying in (y/n)'s arms. "You're ok, I got you." (y/n) whispers as she pulls Eleven into her lap, holding her tight as she wailed against her neck. She soothes Eleven, brushing her hair as she rocked her, tucking her head underneath her chin.

Billy watches with worried eyes, worried for (y/n) waking up and wondering if she was in any pain but also worried for the kid. He was amazed at (y/n)'s tender care, her motherly intuition taking care of the kids as they all hugged her and Eleven.
