There was nothing but complete chaos and danger surrounding. Eleven felt almost completely drained as she laid resting on one of the lab tables in the Hawkins Middle School science classroom. The Demogorgan growled angrily as Lucas launched rocks at the ferocious creature.
"Kill it!" Dustin yelled over and over. He and Mike handed more and more rocks to Lucas, though it wasn't having much impact.
"It's not working!" He screamed to his friends as he continued firing at the monster.
"Hit him again!" Mike shrieked as the Demogorgan slowly stepped toward the boys, snarling loudly.
Lucas took one last shot at it with his wrist-rocket, hitting the monster directly in what was supposed to be its face. It stumbled backwards suddenly, hitting the chalk board with a loud thud. The boys stared in shock as Eleven came out from behind them, a deadly look in her eye.
She slowly walked across the classroom, her face completely pale with blood dripping from her nose, as she made her way to the chalkboard.
"Eleven, stop!" Mike tried to reach out to her and pull her back with them, but she telekinetically slammed him to the opposite end of the classroom, letting him hit his head on one of the drawers.
Could she do this? She'd spent her entire life isolated and abused by the men who experimented on her. And throughout that entire week she'd spent with Mike, Lucas, and Dustin, they've shown her what it was like to be truly cared about and to have people you can depend on.
"A friend is someone that you'd do anything for." Mike's voice rang in her head as she gazed back to look at her friends one last time.
"Goodbye, Mike." She told him, knowing she'd never see him again.
Turning back towards the monster, she gazed straight into his eyes, ready to put a stop to this.
"No more." The child lifted her hand towards the Demogorgan, screaming as it slowly began to vanish out of sight.
For a moment, all that could be heard was a loud screeching. Then, the Demogorgan was gone. And so was Eleven.
With a flash, she had been transported out of the classroom and was one hundred percent sure she was dead. Except she wasn't.
"Mike..?" Her frightened voice came out in barely a whisper as she looked around for her friends. But she was completely alone. She could hear the boys yelling her name but it was clear that they couldn't hear her.
There was only one place Eleven could be. A place she'd seen many times before. A place she opened the gate to. A place dangerous and toxic and a living version of hell.
She was in the Upside Down.
Authors Note: So i've had this idea in my head for a while and I was really excited to upload this. I have a bunch of chapters outlined already with a basic idea of where I want to go and I can't wait to upload more of it. Be sure to tell me what you think, constructive criticism included. And if you liked this idea follow for more! The next chapter is going to take place six months later I just wanted to start the story with a preface
Disclaimer; I don't own stranger things.
