CHAPTER EIGHT :

HER GAZE

Today is a sunny morning illuminating the girly room of a Nancy Wheeler who is still fast asleep in her bed.

"Nancy! Get up, you're going to be late for work!" said Mrs. Wheeler at the door.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Nance?"

"Uh... yes mom..."

"Get up, don't be late!"

"COMINGG!"
"Hhoaaamm..."

Nancy sat with her face still sleepy, she lowered her feet to the floor and let herself sit on her white bed.

Nance rubbed her eyes as well as stretched all over her body.

After gathering enough lives, Nancy finally stood up and opened her bedroom door.

Down the stairs, then took a glass of milk and a piece of bread on the table and took it to her room.

As she was about to climb the stairs, she noticed something was different.

The roof of the stairs became shallower, and the lighting was minimal. Nancy frowned, but she didn't think much of it.

Nancy walked across the dozens of stairs. But when she got upstairs, instead of the room door that Nancy knew, this was the door of a room in a gloomy house that Nancy had visited some time ago.

Nancy was even more surprised, she put her glass and plate somewhere then opened the door handle of the room.

"Shit..."

Nancy was surprised to find herself at this moment, the door led her to a warehouse located on the roof of a luxurious house.

"Nance"

The sound made Nancy turn around quickly. Nancy was stunned when she realized it was the monster she killed at the time.

Nancy stepped back when that creature slowly approached her.

"You always betray someone."
"You turned your own bestfriend over to evil."
"You leave a middle-aged grandmother, to a darkness."

Nancy walked backwards until her back hit the final wall.

"You left your friend to me too, Max."

Nancy raised her head.
"I didn't give them up."

"Yes you are."

Nancy shook her head then turned around quickly.
She tried her best to escape from Vecna, but the window behind her was tightly closed by a piece of wood.

"UGH! RELEASE!"

"You can't run, Nancy."

"AKH!"

One wood is released, the remaining one wood again.

"You can't run from me."
"Because you have thwarted all my plans."

"SHIT!" Despite all the wooden shutters, now she had to slide the window and throw herself to the ground.

"You belongs here."

"AAAAAAH!"

Nancy didn't fall to the ground, now she fell onto her bedroom carpet because she fell from the bed.

"Nancy?"

Nancy looked up, apparently there was Mike and Jonathan nearby.

"Nance? Are you okay?"

Nancy looked down and shook her head.

"What happened?"

Nancy fell silent.
"He returns.."

CRACK

CRACK

A police officer is seen investigating the cause of Lena's death in the Hawkins High School building.

One of the cops looked at the shot then looked back at Lena who was dead on the floor.

"This is weird"

"No! Nothing strange at all."

The voice of a teenager made the four police there turn their heads. "What are you guys doing here? You should be at home, this is a restricted area."

"Meet me, sir. My name is Jerry Washington, and these are my friends.
Allure Tilova and Moreo Gennzy."

"And the three of us are Lena's best friends, this girl." Allure said pointing at Lena's body.

Another police officer approached the three teenagers.
"Okay kids, I beg you guys to be patient with this incident. But you have to go because we are trying to investigate."

"Sir, there is nothing strange about Lena's death. The culprits are all Jane Byers and Gisella Byers!"

Jerry's words made the other police officers who had been silent before approach them.
"What do you mean?"

Jerry looked at the cop with the 'Jim Hopper' name pin on his shirt. Of course Hopper is the father of Eleven and Twelve, but none of the three children know him.

"You see, that time Giselle broke my leg."
"Then she threatened to kill Lena, and it really happened!"

"Not only that, sir. Giselle's sister, Jane Hopper. She gave Angela a concussion a year ago."

The words of the two boys made Hopper's patience run thin.
"Watch your mouth, young man."

Jerry frowned in surprise, he approached Hopper with his head up.
"What do you mean?"

Hopper realized, he should not get into trouble with a teenage boy. That would make things even more complicated. Hopper could be fired and Jane and Giselle are getting bullied.

Hopper shook his head.
"Nothing."

Hopper then left the place where the teenagers were and regrouped with other police officers to investigate Lena's death.

"We have to act. Vecna ​​is getting worse and worse."

Max's words made Steve raise his hands.
"No no no, no no!"
"How many times have I told you, DANGEROUS!"

Max just responded by rolling her eyes.

"Where are the others at a time like this?" Ask Dustin. "Lucas, Twelve, El, Mike, Will. Where are they?"

Max just shrugged.

Sure enough, there were only three people gathered in Max's house now. Just Steve, Dustin and of course Max.

KNOCK KNOCK

The sound of a knock on the door made the three of them turn around. "They?"

"Don't know."

Max finally stood up from her seat and walked to open the door. "Hey!"

Apparently there were four of her friends there.
Eleven, Mike, Twelve and Will.
"Come in."

They smiled and nodded and entered Max's little house. Max closed the door of her house and then walked with her four friends towards Dustin and Steve in the living room.

KNOCK KNOCK

Max turned around. "Who else?"

"Perhaps Nance?"

"Or Jonathan, or Robin?"

Max finally returned to open the door of her house again.

"GET YOU!"

"AKH!"

Max's screams made all her friends rush to her. Twelve and El were surprised to find Maxine's neck being strangled by Jerry's arm.
"Jerry?!"

Jerry snorted and took Max in still in his arms.

"L-LET ME, YOU STUPID!"

Jerry glanced at Max sarcastically, then turned his gaze on Twelve and Eleven.

"You two, I know you have mystical powers!" he said pointing at Twelve and El.

"What do you mean?!"

Jerry pursed his mouth, then gave an order with his head to Allure and Moreo. "WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE DOING?" Max asked harshly when she saw Allure and Moreo making a mess of her house.

"I believe that Jane and Giselle are harboring evil objects to kill Lena!"

Lucas felt furious.
"THAT'S BULLSHIT."

"Hey dude, what are you--"
Steve's words that suddenly came from the living room were cut off when his eyes saw Max who was being held by Jerry's arm.

"Who the hell is that man?"

Dustin elbowed Steve in the stomach with his right elbow. Steve squealed and Dustin spoke. "Jerry Washington, our enemy."
"EVIL!"

Steve just looked at Dustin oddly and rolled his eyes in resignation.

Furious with Jerry, Lucas decides to fight him.
"Release Max."

Jerry looked at Lucas with a petty look.
"Otherwise? I thought you were afraid of me."

Lucas approached Jerry quickly and said. "Im not, dipshit."

BROUGH

"WHAT THE--"

"AKH!"

BROUGH
BROUGH

It was seen that Lucas hit Jerry in the stomach many times, causing Max to escape from his stranglehold.

Jerry stood up holding his face in pain.

"HOW DARE!"

BROUGH
BROUGH
BROUGH

"LUCAS!!!" Max shouted when she saw Lucas being beaten several times by Jerry.

"OUCH!" Lucas seemed to fall down in pain while holding his stomach.

"Don't mess with me!!" Jerry said again torturing Lucas who was lying weak.

BROUGH

Twelve looked speechless watching her friend being beaten. Twelve felt an anger she had never felt before.
Bully, Accusation, Torture.

I have to fight him.

"JERRY, STOP!"

BROUGH

"STOPPP!!!!" Twelve's loud scream knocked Jerry backwards. Likewise with Allure and Moreo who became migrating because of Twelve's thoughts.

Maxine and Mike helped Lucas to his feet. Meanwhile Jerry, Allure and Moreo who fell backwards now showed their scared faces to Twelve.

Jerry said, pointing at Twelve.
"SEE? SEE? SHE HAS EVIL POWERS!"

Twelve approached Jerry with an annoyed face, she looked up.
"I DONT CARE!"
"HAKH!"

Twelve raised her head, it made Jerry fall backwards even more. "GO!" Twelve tilted her head, making the three of them stand up and run screaming.

When the three of them were quite far from Max's door, Twelve stared at them intently, then entered the thoughts of the three and controlled them. Twelve raised her head. And a scene occurred.

Jerry, Allure and Moreo fainted on the spot.

"Huhh" After finishing, Twelve's breath hitched.
She fell to the floor with her nose full of blood.

"Twelve!" Said all her friends then approached Twelve.

Will seemed to have Twelve's head in his arms. Twelve looked sad,
"I'm sorry--I had to save you guys,
I-I made them hurt..."

Will shook his head. Smiling, he said "No, no. Don't apologize, you did the right thing!"

Will held Twelve's cheek who was crying more and more.
"I opened the gate.."
