Starring Finn Wolfhard as Elliot McAdams.

"you know what, Elliot ? Get out, and never come back again."
Bianca yelled, pushing Elliot out of her house.
Then she closed the door angrily, which caused a loud thud.

He swore under his breath, and started to walk away from her house, realizing how much the weather was cold as he tried to warm himself up.
How should I go home now? It's past midnight. And It's chilling out here.
He thought.

He walked to the main street, and stood there, waiting for a transportation.
But the street was completely empty.
He checked the time through his phone screen, feeling his bare arms as he did so.
Damn, He should've worn a sweatshirt.

12:30 am.
He swore again. There's no way a transportation is going to pass this street at this exact time.
Until it hit him.

The train. There has to be one right now.
He walked quickly towards the train station.
There's no one there.
The ticket office's light was up, so he walked towards it.

"Excuse me ?"
He asked, looking into the office.
"Yes ?"
Someone replied. A man.
"Um, can you please tell me the departure of the next train ? I'm in a hurry."
The man eyed him head to toe, and replied.

"It's twelve thirty, kid. There's no way a train is going to show up right now."
Elliot groaned, and rested his head on the table in desperation.
"What are you doing in this hour anyway ?"

The man asked.
"My girlfriend and I were planning to spend the night together in her house, but we fought and she kicked me out. And now I was hoping to go home to my sister. I'm kind of worried about her."

The man nodded understandingly.
"Maybe you can stay here for a while. Maybe a train will come. They don't forget about the people who are working late, and you're no exception."
Elliot nodded.

"Okay, thank you."
He stood quietly, a few metres away from the ticket office, waiting for a train, scrolling through his phone to pass the time.
5 minutes passed. 10 minutes. 15 minutes. 20 minutes.
Nothing. No train came.

Elliot groaned, and was about to walk away, but then he heard something that sent hope in him.
A train whistle.
He looked up, and he could see a tiny train light in a distance.

Happiness filled him.
He waited till the train stopped, and then he hopped on.
It was completely empty.

He didn't complain though, he took a seat.
A few minutes later, he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.
He let it out, and looked into the screen.

Eva.
His twin sister.
Why was she calling in this hour?
He answered quickly.

"Eva ?"
He heard sobbing on the other end of the phone.
"Eva, what happened ?"
"J-Jason broke up with me."
His heart dropped. She loved Jason so much.

"He did ?"
"Yes..I need a hug, Elliot. Can you come please ?"
He sighed.
"Of course, Eva. I'll be right there. Don't cry, Ok?"

She nodded slowly, wiping her tears away.
"OK. Love you."
"Love you too."
He said back softly, and hung up after.
Then he noticed the lady in the corner.

What ? How did she get here ? He thought in confusion.
He didn't want to scare himself, so he decided to close his eyes for a while, trying to push all the stress away.

When he decided to open them again, he saw the lady sitting right in front of him.
Fear started to get to him.
"Excuse me ? Why..why did you..?"
He didn't get an answer.

She's probably just messing around.
But then he decided to look at her appearance.
She didn't look like a woman at all, but her body said so, which was incredibly hard to recognize under the over-sized black cloak she was wearing.

The cloak was covering her face, and he couldn't see any of its features. She was also hiding something under her sleeve.
This isn't creepy at all. He thought sarcastically.

He closed his eyes again, and tried to forget about her. But he felt as if he was being watched.
He opened his eyes again, and he felt a chill down his spine as he saw her standing up, staring down at him.

I can never hear her moving. I should get out of here.
He said to himself.
But try to play it cool.

He nodded to himself.
He held his phone up to his face as if texting someone, got up and quickened his pace.
I need to get out of here, quickly.

He kept telling himself over and over.
When he put the phone down, and tried to focus on what he was running into, she was right in front of him.

"W-What ?"
She took a step towards him, and he took a step back. That's when he noticed the bloody knife in her hand. That's what she had been hiding under her sleeve.

He shook his head in fear.
"L-Listen, it's my sister. She needs me, I really want to get back home, I-"
He was cut off by a sharp stabbing pain into his stomach.
He whimpered out loud, and looked down to his stomach. A big pond of blood oozed out of his stomach. She had stabbed him.

The next thing Elliot knew, he was pinned to the floor.
"Maybe she won't care if I told her you won't come."
The woman said, grabbing his phone and texting his twin sister.

I won't come home. Enjoy your breakup, loser.
Sent 01:05 am.
"No.."
He whimpered out.

Now Eva hates him. She will never understand that it wasn't on purpose.

But then she sunk her sharp teeth into his neck, and started to suck the blood out of his veins, not caring about his painful blood curdling, ear-piercing screams.
