About nine months ago...
It was the day before school started. This was Eleven's first year of regular school. Joyce couldn't home school her, so she'd go to school with Will. They were going back to school shopping today.
Eleven stepped into the kitchen. Joyce was making everyone breakfast. "Lucas just told me," Will said. "They didn't even bother to fill in the hole. It was just gone. It's really scared people."
"What's scaring people?" Eleven asked. The others in the room were then alerted to her presence.
"Nothing," Jonathan said. "Family business."
"You said I'm family now," Eleven reminded them.
"There's no reason she shouldn't know," Will sighed. "Someone broke into the graveyard last night, and they robbed Mike's grave. The coffin and the body are gone."
Eleven was sitting on the bus. She was sitting near the front with Max. They were going up the mountain where the prison was. They woke up at the crack of dawn. Eleven was barely keeping her eyes open.
"Are you ready?" Max asked.
"Yes, I just hope my powers are completely recharged," Eleven whispered. Eleven hadn't gotten too much of a chance to test her powers. She's had a few noses bleeds, but they weren't too severe.
The temperature was well below freezing. Everyone on the bus was bundled up. The bus was mostly full of workers from the prison. They all had serious looks on their faces. The bus was also very silent.
It stopped in front of a gate. "I can't believe I'm going to a prison before Billy," Max whispered. That made Eleven let out a short laugh. The gate then opened, and they drove through. The sun was beginning to rise.
They stopped a few feet away from a large, imposing building. Eleven recognized it as the building from her vision. The one she heard Mike's voice from. She shrugged it off, believing it was just her mind playing tricks on her.
They stepped off the bus. Eleven kept her hands in her pocket. Eleven walked to the guard at the front. "My name is Alla Babanian," Joyce lied. "I saw that you guys were looking for a new chef. I'm here for an interview."
That's when Eleven saw her father. He was standing in the distance. She could tell that he had been whipped. He was limping heavily. That made Eleven lose her cool. She couldn't stand idly by and let this happen to someone she loved.
She flung all of the guards away without a second thought.
