Jamie Byers was missing, at the age of fifteen she left the safety of her home to meet with Steve Harrington in hopes of asking him out.

Of course it ended with him not showing up and her being alone in the middle of nowhere. She felt so humiliated as she walked back home.

But before she could even enter her home she was taken. She spent so many years alone and trapped. Her entire body felt like it was shutting down with each day that passed.

She couldn't find home, and the beast was coming for her the more hungry it grew.

No matter how bad she ached to die, this place wouldn't allow her. She just hoped her family found her before it was too late.

Her family spent everyday looking for her but all they got were tapes that she left behind the night she went missing.

They had given up, but now her mothers fear gets worst when Will disappears. With this something changed in the place Jamie was in.

She finds a doorway. That leads her safely back into the real world. It is here she finds a little girl named Eleven who helped her escape by accident.

Now Jamie was determined to get her little brother back and defeat the beast once and for all.
