As soon as I heard these letters I jumped back to the others. To the right of the couch, the wall started making a weird noise.

Then the walk broke open and a hideous monster crawled out. I wanted to run but then a miracle happened.

While the monster was coming towards us, behind it through the hole in the wall, a finger popped out.

'WILL!' I screamed. I was angry. No not angry. Furious.

The monster had Will captured and was going to eat him. But I had to stop it.

I grabbed Joyce her axe and attacked. But Eleven used her powers to blow the axe away.

'No,' she said. I didn't want to believe it. Will was so close yet so far I ran outside, just like the others. Outside the monster was gone.

'Guys, what was that?' Joyce asked.

'I don't know, and I don't want to know!' Dustin said scared.

'It's the Demogorgon,' I said while looking at the dark and empty house.

'No, not the Demogorgon!' Lucas yelled.

'We are so dead!' Dustin said.

'No, not if we stick together, we will survive!' Mike said confident.

'And what about Will!?' I yelled in tears.

'He is alone, he has no one and is 24/7 running from a monster that wants to eat him!' Joyce hugged me. And I cried again. Just like always since Will disappeared.

'Well we know one thing,' Joyce said.

'He is alive, so if we all...' she wanted to say but then out of nowhere, at least four sirens were going off.

I looked at the place where the sirens came from. It were police cars and ambulances.

'Quick, get in the car!' Joyce said. We all hopped in her car and Joyce drove us to the place where the ambulances all stopped.

Chief Hopper was there too. Joyce walked to chief Hopper. Me, Eleven, Mike, Dustin and Lucas stayed at the car. Then the most difficult part of my entire life came true.

From out of the water they carried a body. And the body was none other than Will. Dead, drowned in the quarry.

But I had the feeling that this wasn't Will. Mike didn't though. He started crying. I put his arms around me and he cried on my shoulder.

Dustin and Lucas put their arms around us. Even Eleven hugged us. We all felt connected. But without Will, I didn't.

'Hey, listen Mike, from Joyce her house to the quarry, that takes like half an hour to walk, but five minutes ago we saw Will in Joyce her house!' I said.

'That wasn't Will, Will is here and he is dead!' Mike said angry.

'But he is alive!' I said.

'NO HE IS NOT, WHAT ABOUT BARB, MAYBE WE SAW BARB, WE DON'T KNOW!' Mike said.

'And that is why it could be Will!' I said. Mike didn't believe me. But he cried on my shoulder. As long as he could.

With Will's body being found none of us were happy. Everyone believed that he was dead. But I felt that he still was alive but without Mike, Dustin and Lucas I was hopeless.

Then Eleven changed everything. Us five were at Mike's again where Eleven found a walkie-talkie. She was playing with it.

'Stop it okay, he isn't coming back!' Mike said irritated. Eleven didn't listen. She kept playing with it.

'Eleven!' Lucas said. But then she really stopped. A sound came off the walkie-talkie.

'Shoul.. Ay.. Ould... O..'

'Is it?' I asked. I went to Eleven and sat down next to her.

'Should I stay or should I go,' I said after changing the frequency.

'It is the song that Will and his brother Jonathan used to sing together. This is Will,' I cheered.

'But then, the body is fake!' Mike said.

'But if this is Will, we still can't hear him, we have to go to a bigger walkie-talkie!' Lucas said.

'The AV-club, there is a radio there, maybe we can talk to Will!' Dustin yelled.

'But, El can't go to school like this,' Mike said.

'I have an idea,' I said. I grabbed Eleven by her arm. We walked upstairs to Nancy's room. Lucas, Mike and Dustin followed us.

'Grab a dress!' I said. Then I grabbed a wig. I put it on El's head. El now had blonde hair. She looked even more beautiful.

'But... me?' She asked confused. 'You are pretty,' Mike said. Then I saw it. Mike was in love with Eleven.

'I... am pretty?' she asked.

'Yes, totally,' Mike said. Lucas and Dustin watched how Mike gave her the dress. Eleven pushed us out of the room. And I started thinking about Will. I still had hope. We were so close to his return.

Then Eleven came out of the room. She looked stunning. Mike's eyes were wide open and Dustin and Lucas smiled at Eleven. From all these reactions, Eleven started smiling too.

'Well, what are we waiting for, time to go to school!' Dustin said.

We arrived at school where no one was around.

'Where is everyone?' Dustin asked. Then our science teacher appeared.

'Well finally you showed up!' he said.

'Hey (y/n), you're here too!' But then he saw Eleven.

'Who is this?' he asked.

'This is my second cousin,' Mike said.

'And where are you from?'

'A.. Terrib...' Eleven started but got interrupted by Dustin.

'Sweden!' Before anyone could say something I asked: 'Where is everyone?'

'Well, you probably know, Will his body was found in the quarry, we are saying goodbye to him,' our science teacher answered.

He took us to the great hall where everyone sat on the tribunes. We sat down as well.

'Now, if I may continue,' the principal started. Obviously she was mad about us interrupting her speech.

'Will was a great student and a friend to all...' the principal said. But then I heard something.

'He was a great student and a friend to all, look at her crying, I bet no one misses him!' None other than Troy Walsh was making fun of Will at his goodbye at school.

I got angry. I knew I wouldn't stand a chance. It looked like Mike heard him too.

'I am gonna rip his ugly face apart and set it on fire and then dump him in the quarry!' He said angry. I put my arm around Mike.

'Don't listen to them, I bet he is the only one,' I said. Then suddenly everyone stood up. The principal was done with his speech. Everyone had to return to class.

In the horde of students, I lost Mike. I was still with Lucas, Dustin and Eleven but Mike wasn't here. Then I saw him at Troy. He pushed Troy. Troy tripped and fell. When he turned he looked even angrier than ever before. He stood up.

'So, you are picking a fight with me, come and get it!' Troy said. He stepped forward but froze. Troy suddenly looked scared. Then his pants turned darker. He was peeing his pants.

'Dude, Troy peed himself!' Someone said. Everyone started laughing. I looked at Eleven. She smiled to Mike. Then before Troy could hurt us we ran to the AV-club.

Eleven jumped to the chair at the radio. We all stood around her. She closed her eyes. Blood started dripping out of her nose. Then the radio turned on.

'Mom, please help me... I am home but, an other home, it is cold and dark, please save me mom!' It was Will!

'He is coming... mom please help me, he is coming... ok!'  Will sounded afraid. He was running from something.

'The Demogorgon,' Lucas said.

Then the radio blew up. It wasn't like a real explosion as in movies but out of nowhere the radio just stopped working. Eleven wiped the blood from her nose.
