A/N: Hi, everyone! Recently, I've been super inspired by Stranger Things 2 and wanted to write something about what happens next, as well as explore some of the other test subjects from Hawkins' Lab. Each of the chapters swaps off perspectives, mostly between Ten and Mike Wheeler.

*MARCH 2018 UPDATE: This story has now been reworked as it was not originally my best writing, however it still gains attention. Some issues with grammar and spelling have been changed as well as smaller details were added to give this story and its sequel a better overall flow.*

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way affiliated with Stranger Things.


TEN / Prologue

A week before Hawkins' Lab was taken down by monsters, Nine saw it happen.

The identical twins had been studied and isolated together, but with the touch of Papa's hand, Ten saw the others. Amazing children with incredible abilities.

Nine and Ten's powers were a bit different. Their power was seeing. With just a touch, Nine could see someone's future where Ten could see their past. "Together," Papa had told them, "you can see everything."

But they were not together. Not anymore. Not since that night at Hawkins' Lab. Nine had seen the way out; she had been so set in her certainty. Ten, who was always dwelling in the past, felt a new and unfamiliar sense of hope. A sense that was ripped away the moment one of those faceless things took her sister.

And all she could do was run.
