Authors note: I just finished season 2 and words cannot describe how amazing it was! I loved it so much and the character development was fantastic. Please comment your thoughts on the new season.

I know the intro to this story isn't that great but I'm hoping it will get better as I get into the mood of this story. I may edit it later but for now I'm just wishing to start somewhere. I hope you enjoy! It may seem boring now but I'm slowly but surely planning the plot. Please comment!

For a few moments everything was right in the world. At least for Will, it seemed to be. For the first time in a while, Will felt free of that awful thing. The moment it left his body and he opened his eyes to the distressed face of his mother, he smiled. This time it was his smile, not a supernatural hosts. He looked to see the relieved faces of his brother and another girl, only then did he feel how warm it was in the room. He stared at the girl a moment longer, he recognized her but couldn't quiet find her name. But he didn't ask, he didn't wish to upset his mother anymore then she already was.

What had happened? The last thing he could remember was finding the Chief, Hopper was his name. And his mother's boyfriend helping, he recalled his name started with a B-he assumed his name was Bob. Bob, yes that was it, Bob had told him to face the monster. Suddenly, he remembered everything and everyone, as flashes of memories came back to him.

It was Bob's fault the shadow monster destroyed his family once more.

"Where's Bob?" Will asked, a hint of distain in his voice.

"He's-He's..." Joyce replied, her bottom lip quivering.

"He's gone. He died a hero, saving you." Jonathan looked at the ground, placing a steady hand on his moms shoulder.

"Saving all of us."Nancy finished, giving a small smile.

"Oh" Will quivered, rising in the bed to hug is mother. He couldn't hold back tears as he whispered "I'm sorry for everything I've done."

"You haven't done anything. That thing did something to you and now it's gone. It's gone honey." She smiled, embracing him the slightest bit tighter.

2 Months Later

Things were now normal, not back to they way they had been normal. But, everyone seemed to be living normal live's and no other-dimensional creatures seemed to plague Hawkins with unrelenting power. Jane now went to school but was catching upon her studies. She most definitely wasn't stupid though, It was obvious that her papa had taught her many things in the lab and so had Hopper. She lived with Hopper and visited Mike every day, after school. Max and Lucas were clearly in love, however inconspicuous they tried to be, everyone saw it. Including Max's brother, but for the moment he had cooled his attitude down. There were signs beginning to show that he would explode at any moment. Dustin and his new hairstyle were beginning to gain popularity, slowly but surely. While, Steve parted ways with Nancy he began to watch Dustin and give his so called "Life Advice", including how to be like a ninja. Joyce had no boyfriend and remained silent about Bob or anything else, however, she was happy because her boy was back for real this time. And even if anything else were to happen, at least Will had a chance to not be at the center of it. The only thing that seemed to be threatening the group was the constant attacks from reporters, and concerned citizens. Although most didn't fully know the truth, some of the word was out.

...

It was a Friday afternoon and the middle school's hallways were buzzing with adrenaline. The group of boys walked towards the doors together, Max on her skateboard. Lucas trying to impress her with some joke as she rolled her eyes. Will sighed, things were normal? Just then the lights flickered, the students continued but Will froze, anxiously looking around his for some sign of a threat. He looked to his friends, It hadn't bothered any of them, except for Jane, who looked back to Will, she was concerned about something too. When they reached outside Will rushed to Jane's side,

"Did you feel that?" He asked, he rarely spoke to her.

"Yes, I Think it wants something." She replied, mysteriously.

"What do you thin..." He was cut of by Mike who began talking to Jane about what movie they were going to watch tonight.

Will knew the shadow monster was still out there, searching for someone to infect, a host to kill. Will also knew that the monster was trapped at the moment, but a piece of it was still out there. He knew that when it left him, it was going to someone else, someone it had a connection to. Even though it had left him, one small part he still felt connected to. He would know when it infected its next victim, he kew it would come back, and he knew it was ready to break free and destroy Hawkins. Then, everyone would know.
