Here's the final chapter of Season 1! Enjoy!
"Ten..." Brenner started counting down.
"NO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" Jane shrieked. "LEAVE MAMA ALONE!"
"Nine..."
"WE'LL KICK YOUR GODDAMN ASSES!" Dustin screamed out.
"Eight..."
"LET HER GO, YOU TERRIBLE SONS OF BITCHES!" Lucas also screamed.
"Seven..."
The boys continued swearing and threatening the white-haired doctor while Mike began to cry. He didn't want her to suffer like he did. No...she was...she was really nice and...
She was more than a friend to him.
"Six..."
"Jane..." he said in a shaky voice, trying to stand up to get her, but Dr. Wheeler sat him back down.
"Five..."
"Hey, son," his father said to him, tightly holding his face. "When that woman doesn't answer, you won't be alone. You'll share the same room as the doctor's daughter and you'll have a friend there." Mike still wasn't convinced. It was bad there...Jane being there wouldn't help the fact that the labs were a bad place.
"Four..."
He shook his head, replying with a cold, "No." The man looked taken aback by that. "No." He then looked at the curly-haired girl. "Don't hurt her..."
"Three..."
Dr. Wheeler made him look back at him and say, "Listen, son-"
"No!" He then whipped his head towards the man holding a struggling and crying Jane, straining himself, even if it hurt more, but he didn't care.
Terry was between a rock and a hard place. Sacrifice herself and have Michael be brought back? Or never see her daughter again and have her suffer with him? God, she didn't know. "Two..." She was in a panic. Who did she care about more? Her own daughter or the boy who she hasn't seen in a decade?
"Son-" Dr. Wheeler said in a stern tone before Mike tilted his head to the right and snapped the soldier's neck. The dead soldier fell back and released his hold on Jane, the girl looking aghast and covering her mouth. She looked at him, seeing fresh blood underneath both of his nostrils.
The sight of her horrified and crying face left him feeling so heartbroken. He looked at the white-haired man and said sharply, "Don't...hurt...Jane." She gasped, her breath shaky.
"Mike..." she murmured under her breath.
Terry heard that. She figured Mike killed the man that held Jane...with his powers...
The agent and the rest of the soldiers, except those that held Lucas and Dustin back, pointed their guns towards him. Dr. Wheeler signaled them to put them away, the people doing as so. Both him and Brenner looked awed. The boy seemed to be very fond of Jane...so fond that he used his power to save her, despite being extremely tired.
"Incredible..." the white-haired man said, awed that he managed to do that while still being tired.
"Michael...?" the dark-haired man said to the boy. He looked at him with angered eyes.
"Don't...hurt...Jane," he repeated in a much sharper tone. The man sighed, looking at Brenner. He had only gotten one idea-
Suddenly, the lights began to flicker, getting everyone's attention. They then suddenly heard the wall behind Brenner, making him and even Jane turn to see the wall breaking. All the kids then realized what was coming out of it.
Once the hole broke, screeching was heard and a frightening figure came out of it. Horrified, Jane said in a breathy voice, "The Demogorgon."
Everyone let go of the kids, Brenner and Wheeler backing away while Jane ran to Mike, who collapsed on the ground in weariness. As the soldiers and agents opened fire, Dustin carried Mike and they all ran away as far as they could from the bad men.
The sound of gunfire and familiar screeching made Terry even more horrified than she was before.
The monster was back...what Jane called the "Demogorgon"...
It was back.
Now she had a reason to go back there: to save her daughter and the boys from that beast. "Jane, Mike, kids, hold on..." she said to herself as she stood up and began to run, hoping she wouldn't get lost.
Both of the doctors looked aghast as they saw the monster deflect bullets like they were nothing and tear away at their soldiers and agent. They couldn't believe it. It was THIS powerful...
Suddenly, it turned and ran towards them, the men frozen stiff as it lunged for them.
The kids kept running away, far from the bad men and far from the monster. "Come on, this way!" Jane shouted. They went into another hallway and then into their homeroom.
"Don't worry, buddy," Dustin said to Mike. "We're getting there." Lucas locked the door as they all entered into the classroom. The tomboy pointed at one of the lab tables, so they ran to it. Lucas cleared the table of the equipment and Dustin laid him down. The boy was still breathing heavily. He looked at Jane, the two holding hands.
"J-just hold on a little longer, Mike," she told him, her voice almost sounding like a sob. "Th-they're gone...my papa...your dad...they're gone." He gave her a weak smile. "We'll be home soon when my mama comes. When she'll get you home...she'll get you a real bed, your own bed." His weak smiled widened. "You can eat as much Eggos and ice cream as you want. And we..." She smiled, sniffling. "We can go to the Snow Ball together." He loved the sound of that, living with Jane and Terry and Kali too, eating Eggos and ice cream, going to the Snow Ball with her...he loved it all.
"Promise...?" he asked, his voice croaky and weary.
She sniffled and nodded. "I-I promise, Mike. I promise." Both of them looked at each other, hoping that each other will make it through and they can live together.
Suddenly, they heard a scream, making Jane gasp and release her hold on Mike's hands. All of the kids looked in horror as they heard the monster screech and roaring gunfire. When the noises stopped, the kids breathed heavily.
"I-i-is it d-dead...?" Dustin asked in a stutter.
Jane shook her head. "Bullets do nothing to it, Mama told me..." she answered.
Suddenly, the door to their homeroom was busted down by the monster, screeching. All the kids went to a panic, though Mike could barely move himself. "Gogogo! Get your wrist rocket!"
Lucas instantly got his backpack on another table and opened it with shaky hands. Jane and Dustin kept shouting, "Go!" He finally got it out, shouting, "I got it! Get the rocks!" Dustin did the job as he scavenged the backpack for rocks.
Although she was tired from running, Terry didn't care. She found and entered into the school, yelling, "Jane?! Michael?! Kids?!" They heard some shouting not too far from her. She also heard a roar. "Damn it!"
As she began running again and turned to a different hallway, she tripped and fell hard on her face. She screamed a little and stood up, feeling pain on her nose and teeth. "Ugh..." She placed her hand on her mouth and nose. What the hell made her trip over?
She suddenly realized the blood on one leg of her jeans, her eyes enlarging as she saw that she tripped over a murdered soldier. She almost felt the need to throw up. That thing, that monster must have done this...
If it did, it meant that...
She heard the kids shouting again, making her snap out of her thoughts. She couldn't go to them without something to defend them with. Trying her best not to gag, Terry crouched down to the soldier and looked for weapons she could use against it that wasn't a gun.
They all can see the monster walk into the room and roar at them, frightening them even more. "Dustin, hurry!" Jane shouted.
"Hurrying my ass off!" he replied to her as he gave her some of the rocks. She then gave them to Lucas. He grabbed one as his friends cheered him on to kill it. He flung the rock towards it, but it only hit it on the side of the head and angered it more. Getting even more panicked, Jane and Dustin kept yelling to kill it as Lucas got another rock and flung it towards the creature again. It hit it, but still had no effect on it.
"KILL IT, OH MY GOD!" Dustin screamed as Lucas got another rock.
"KILL IT, KILL IT!" Jane also screamed out. He flung another rock at it again, still noneffective. Now it was getting close to them.
"IT'S NOT WORKING!" he shrieked.
"GET IT AGAIN!"
"USE THE MONSTER KILLER!" He grabbed that rock and placed it in his wrist rocket. He pulled it back as far as he could as the monster roared again. After taking a couple of breaths, he released and shot at it. It suddenly got pushed back up against the chalkboard. The three looked awed. His shot did that to it?
No, it actually didn't.
It was Michael.
The boy was off of the table and walked past them to approach it. His nose was bleeding again and his ears started to bleed as well. More veins were visible on his face and his eyes...god, his eyes. They all felt worried about him, especially Jane.
She walked towards him and said, "M-Mike, wait-" He pointed his arm behind him and at her, causing her to be pushed back and land against a cabinet. She screamed and groaned at the pain. The boys went to her side, but all of them looked at Mike.
The boy kept approaching it, with no fear or hesitation. He kept it against the wall with his power, the beat screeching and struggling to get out of his reach. He stopped in front of it. It was time...
It was time for him to kill it. In order to do so though...
He had be away from Jane, Lucas, Dustin, Terry...
Everyone.
Probably forever.
The door suddenly opened, Mike looking to see that Terry was there, with a gun and taser. Her eyes widened at the sight of him that close to the monster and his at the sight of her. "Michael...?" she asked, dumbfounded by this. The kids, especially the tomboy, were surprised to hear her voice.
He frowned. He didn't cry, but he sure felt like it...
Since he needed to say...
"Goodbye, Terry."
The woman's eyes widened. Will he...?
She knew the answer to that. God, she wished she didn't...
She instantly walked towards him. "No, Michael, please-" He raised his arm up and used his power to push her back into the hallway. She landed against a locker, grunting and sitting down. She looked at the boy. Joyce was right...he was such a brave boy...
Mike then looked back at his friends: Lucas, Dustin...Jane. He saw her began to cry. He hated to see her cry, but this...this was for her, and everyone else. He frowned and said solemnly, "Goodbye, Jane." More tears came from her face as she began to sob. She was going to lose Michael...she was going to lose him...
He turned back to the screeching monster. He was ready, ready to make the sacrifice. "You hurt them..." he muttered to it, shaking his head. "No more." He then raised his hand and made a claw motion with it. It shrieked as loud as it could, the three kids covering their ears. Even Terry was, despite not being in the room. Mike kept going, screaming as he began to tear a glowing hole inside of it. Everyone else closed their eyes and kept covering their ears. It then began to disintegrate into dark dust. Michael kept screaming until it fully disappeared...
...along with him.
Suddenly, all of the lights stopped flickering and went back to normal, being on. Everyone opened their eyes and uncovered their ears. They all saw the dark dust dissolve away and the crease the monster made on the wall. Terry stood up and walked inside, looking around for the telekinetic boy. There was no sign of Michael at all...
The kids stood up and decided to look for him too. "Mike!" Jane shouted.
"Michael!" shouted Dustin.
"Where are you, Mike?!" Lucas also shouted.
"Mike! MIKE!" The girl's shouts were beginning to be sobs. "MIKE! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Terry looked absolutely distraught at seeing her daughter break down like this. She slowly approached her, bent down a little, and placed a hand on her shoulder, making her look up at her. She felt heart-wrenched to see her cry like this. Not since she took her D&D game away from her as punishment a couple of years ago and when "Will" died was she like this.
"Jane..." she said to her solemnly, looking like she will cry too. "I'm so sorry." She cried more and hugged her. The woman hugged her back tightly, letting her sob into her shoulder. The boys decided to join in on the hug too. They all stayed like that, for what felt like forever, because Michael sacrificed himself to save them all.
...
Later, outside of the school, emergency vehicles were around to help out the four of them. Carl's convertible drove as fast as it could until he and Becky saw Terry and Jane. "Stop!" the short-haired woman demanded. He did and they both got out of the car, Becky approaching them by running. The two females were sitting on an ambulance, blankets draped around them. Jane was holding the Eggo Mike gave her earlier, looking depressed about his disappearance. "Terry! Jane!" They both looked up and saw her running to them. She then gave them a tight bear hug. "Oh my God, you two...!" She sobbed. "I was so worried about you both!" They returned the hug, knowing that for sure.
Carl arrived, making Becky release her hug, and asked in genuine concern, "Are you two alright?"
They both nodded, though Becky looked skeptical. "Don't lie to us, you two. You both...excuse me if I should speak freely Terry..." She nodded, making her deeply sigh and stated, "You both look like shit."
She was right. They did. The dirty-blonde-haired woman sighed and replied, "We've both...had better days..."
The curly-haired girl nodded. "Yeah..." she added in a weak voice. "Much better days..."
Becky sniffled and hugged them both again. Both Terry and Jane will never forget about what happened tonight, ever. It was a hellish night...in fact, this was a hellish day for the both of them...
It turned out Joyce and Hopper finally found Will, alive, and that he was at a hospital. The kids, the teens, the Ives sister, Carl, and Hopper were waiting outside of the room Will was in. Joyce and Jonathan were in there though, since they were his family. Lucas and Dustin were snoozing away, Dustin drooling on Lucas's shoulder, while Jane still looked down at the waffle. The thoughts of Mike kept roaming through her mind. He was gone...he was really gone...he couldn't be dead, right? He couldn't be...
Suddenly, the door opened and Jane broke out of her thoughts. Jonathan smiled at her and mouthed, "Come on." Her face lit up in sheer joy. Will was awake.
She stood up from her chair, put the Eggo inside her jacket, and shook her friends awake. "Guys, guys, Will's up! He's up!" she told them happily as she saw them stir awake and look disgusted that one was sleeping on the other. She didn't give them time to follow her, so she just sprinted off to his room.
"W-wait for us, Jane!" Lucas shouted as he and Dustin ran after her. "Jeez!"
...
She was the first to enter into the room. She saw Will right before her eyes. He saw her too and smiled. "Wiiilll!" she cried out in joy as she ran and hugged him instantly.
"Whoa!" the auburn-haired boy exclaimed from the impact of the hug as he hugged her back.
"It's so good to see you again!"
He kept his smile and nodded. "Y-yeah, me too..."
Lucas and Dustin then entered the room, joyed to see their friend again. "Will!" they both shouted. Jane released her hug for him as they hugged him, making him hug back.
"Whoa, whoa, take it easy, you guys!" Joyce said in a playful voice.
"Yeah, take it easy, he's healing," Jonathan added as he entered into the room.
The boys released the hug and stood next to Jane. "Dude, you will not BELIEVE what happened while you were gone!" Dustin stated in excitement.
"It was insane!" Lucas added.
"You had a funeral," Jane stated.
Will looked surprised. "What?!"
"Jennifer Hayes was crying during it," Dustin added.
"And Troy peed himself!" Lucas also added.
The boy looked ready to laugh. "Really?!"
"In front of the entire school!" Jane also added.
"Yeah!" All the kids erupted into laughter until Will began to cough. The happiness in the air dispersed as the three lost their smiles.
When he was done, the tomboy asked, "Are you okay, Will?"
He nodded. "I'll be alright." He then let out a sigh. "It got me...the Demogorgon."
They were surprised he called the monster the Demogorgon too. It was just as menacing as it. They all nodded. "We know," they all said.
"It's dead, thanks to our new friend," Jane elaborated.
He looked a bit puzzled. "New friend?"
They nodded again. "He stopped it...he saved us." She said that in a solemn voice since he was out of sight. "But he's gone now."
"His name's Michael Eleven," Dustin added.
"He has a tattoo with 'M11' on it. That's for his name."
Will looked even more puzzled. "Is that really his last name?" They all nodded once again. "Weird to have a number as a last name."
"Yeah," they all stated.
"We call him Mike, for short," Lucas said.
"He's basically a wizard," the curly-haired boy added.
"He has superpowers."
Jane shrugged and looked at Will. "He's basically a Yoda."
His face lit up. "A real Yoda?!"
"Yeah, he flipped a freaking VAN with his mind!" Dustin said.
"And he could crush brains!" the black-haired boy added. "These people were gonna shoot us-"
"Then he stared at them and made their eyes bleed..." Jane elaborated.
As they continued talking about what happened tonight, Will was enthralled by what was being told to him. He really missed out. At least he was out of that place alive.
Kali was there too and loved the sight of the kids, especially her little sister, being happy and having fun seeing him again. She walked to Jonathan and patted his shoulder. He looked down at her and smiled. "Jane and your brother are good friends, aren't they?" she asked him.
He nodded, looking back at them. "Yeah, they were friends since kindergarten."
"Wonder why we never became friends before this."
He shrugged. "We never really hung out before all this shit."
She had to agree. Only when Will and Barb were missing that they were hanging out with each other more, though it was to look for the both of them. Still, that didn't mean that they shouldn't be friends.
Exiting out of the hospital, Hopper finally got out a cigarette and lit it up. As he sucked in and blew smoke, he just realized something. The doctors didn't ask him for the location...
Because they already knew where they were.
He sighed. At least they were handled with. The kids, at least most of them and to his knowledge, weren't dead, Terry was still alive, everything was back in proportion...
For the most part.
He saw a black car with two suited men in it. The car stopped to Hopper and one of the men exited it, facing Hopper. He gave him a little note card. "Bring this to Teresa, then join us in the car," he said. The man sighed and took it, walking back into the hospital, but not before smoking a little more and discarding the cigarette.
In the waiting room, the Ives sisters didn't speak to each other. Becky did know that she went through a rough night, so being by her was enough. They both then see Hopper approaching Terry. When he was in front of her, he handed her the note card. "What's this?" she asked.
He shrugged. "Dunno, someone said to give this to ya," he answered her. She grabbed the note card as he walked away and out of the building.
"The hell was that about?" Becky asked.
She shrugged. "I don't know." She then saw that it was a business card, showing the phone number and information about a man named Dr. Sam Owens. Curious, she looked at the back. It read:
"You knew what you did. We all knew what you did. But how about I make an offer to you? An offer that doesn't involve you getting murdered? Call me. I'll be waiting. -Dr. Samuel Owens"
She couldn't believe her eyes. This was an opportunity for her to not get murdered. She never knew this could happen. Since she thought that Martin and Ted were dead, they were going to run things in a more different way? She definitely had to give him a call.
It was one month later. It was Christmas and snowing in Hawkins. In the basement of the Christmas-decorated Ives home, Jane said in her usual soft voice, "Something is coming for you...and it's angry, hungering for your blood." The tomboy wore an green jacket with a white T-shirt under it and light-blue baggy jeans. "It's almost here..."
"What is it?" Will asked. He wore a brown, white, and gray sweater, dark jeans, and red and white sneakers.
"Gotta be the thessalhydra, dude," Dustin stated. He wore a plain blue sweater, dark-grey pants, and black shoes.
"No, it's not," Lucas replied, wearing a multi-colored long sleeve, dark blue jeans, and sneakers.
"It's telling you, it's the thessalhydra!"
"It happens to be..." Jane then got a character piece and slammed it on the table. "The thessalhydra!" The boys groaned.
"Damn it!" the curly-haired boy exclaimed.
The tomboy then looked at the auburn-haired boy. "Will the Wise, it's time to take action!"
"Uh, I don't know what to do!" he exclaimed.
"Fireball him!" Lucas suggested.
Will looked at Dustin, who was a bit deep in thought. He then looked at him and smirked, saying, "Fireball that sonuva bitch."
He smiled as he shook and rolled the dice. They all cheered as they saw the dice roll to a... "Fourteen!" Jane interjected with a smile. As the boys continued cheering, she continued to narrate, "Will the Wise's Fireball was a direct hit!" She stood up to act like the thessalhydra. "As the Fireball hits the thessalhydra, it makes a-" She screeched and spread her arms a little like wings. "Then-" She sank to her knees on the ground and reached her hand to her friends. "Its clawed hand reaches for you one last time before..." She then collapsed on the ground.
The boys cheered happily, hugging each other and doing a victory dance/lap around the D&D table. Jane giggled at the sight as she stood up and sat back at the table as they were. "Dustin chops off all seven of its heads and places them in his bag of holding." The boy in question raised up his backpack with high and might confidence. "You carry the heads out of the dungeons in a victorious manner and present them to King Tristan, who thanks you for your bravery and service."
The boys gave her a puzzled look. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, we're not ending there, right?" Dustin asked.
She shook her head. "No, there's also a medal ceremony-"
"A medal ceremony!" He and the boys looked dumbfounded on how this went. "The hell you talking about, Jane?!"
She gave them a concerned look. "I mean-"
"The campaign was way too short too," Lucas added, sounding disappointed.
"I kinda have to agree," Will added.
She looked at all of them like they were all crazy. "It was ten hours!"
"And it didn't make any sense!"
The girl looked at the curly-haired boy sternly. "Really?"
He nodded. "Yeah, like, what happened to the lost knight?"
"And the proud princess?" the African-American boy added.
"And those weird flowers in the cave?" the auburn-haired boy asked.
She sighed, shrugging and feeling like she was left at a corner. She guessed she didn't had that planning mojo she did last month.
Suddenly, the door opened and Jonathan went down. He gave the kids a weird look. "Whoa, okay," he said. "You guys been playing this game for a while or you all just were just farting?"
The kids giggled at that comment. "Nah, that was just Dustin," Lucas stated, making him look at him objectively. He then began to sing, "Dustin farted~." He mimicked a fart sound, making Jane and Will giggle. "Dustin farted~."
"Yeah, yeah, very mature," Dustin said.
Jonathan gestured his little brother to come, so he stood up and carried his backpack. He high-fived his friends. "Bye, guys," he said.
"Bye, Will," they all replied off-sync as he got out of the basement. The two other boys then stood up and began playfully fighting each other because of Lucas's little song. Jane giggled, thinking they were getting pretty silly.
She then turned to the little fort she made for...Michael, her smile disappearing. Just seeing it all empty like that...she missed him. Lucas, Dustin, her mother missed him, but she knew she missed him the most. She always kept that set up for when he finally comes back...and when she tries to communicate with him. She just had a hope, a large hope, that he was still alive. She won't give up until she clearly knows he's still out there.
"You had fun?" Jonathan asked Will.
He nodded at him, smiling. "Yeah, I did," he replied.
"Hey, you two," Terry said to them, dressed in a creamy-white long-sleeved sweater, light-brown pants, and white slippers. She was sprinkling some colored sugar on a cake.
"Hey, Ms. Ives," greeted the brothers.
"Do you mind wishing your mother a Merry Christmas for me?"
"And for me?" Becky asked from the dining room, wearing a short-sleeved, flower-patterned dress. She sat next to Carl, dressing in a white-collared shirt and black pants. They were just visiting for the holidays.
They both shook their heads. "No way," Will answered.
"Of course not," Jonathan added.
"Merry Christmas, boys," Carl said from the dining room.
"Yeah, Merry Christmas," the short-haired woman added.
"Merry Christmas," Terry said.
"Merry Christmas," the two brothers responded as they began to leave.
"You won?" the teen asked.
"Yup," the boy answered as he got his coat off of the coat rack and put it on before putting on his backpack.
"Wait, Jonathan!" shouted Kali's voice from upstairs. They both stopped as they saw Kali, her hair in a braid and wearing a soft lavender dress, descend down the stairs with a present and gave it to the teen guy. "Merry Christmas."
He looked surprised and took it. "Uh, thanks..." he replied, feeling guilty. "I didn't get you anything-"
She shook her head. "Oh no, that's fine. I didn't want much for Christmas this year, anyway." She gave him a friendly smile. "Hope you like it so I didn't waste my money on it."
He chuckled a little. "I probably will. Merry Christmas."
She nodded at him. "Merry Christmas." The Byers brothers then left. She and Jonathan have been hanging out more as of late, getting the attention of the school, of course. I mean, Steve Harrington's new girlfriend and the school loner? Pretty odd combination. But they never knew that they were like each other and that they shared trauma together.
As the brothers got into Jonathan's car, Will asked, "So, you're friends with my friend's sister now?"
He nodded. "Yeah, that's right," he answered. "Buckle up." Both of them buckled themselves as the teen guy started the engine.
"It's just weird."
Jonathan gave him a puzzled look, but then thought about what he was implying, grinning. "Look who's talking."
He shook his head. "No, no, I don't mean it like THAT, I mean...like, you're friends with MY friend's sister. My friend is female, she's female..."
He laughed a little. Now that he mentioned it, it was pretty weird and coincidental. He's friends with a girl, his little brother's friends with a girl, and those girls were both related! Not by blood, but by law.
Will looked at the present Kali gave his brother and asked, "Can I open it?"
"Sure." The boy took the present and ripped the wrapping apart. He smiled as he showed his brother a box for a new camera. "Hey, look at that!"
A new camera? It wasn't surprising that she bought him that. Not saying that he didn't appreciate it, because he did. "Pretty cool." They then drove away to their home to eat their Christmas dinner.
Kali walked to the living room and sat with none other than Steve Harrington, cuddling together and watching TV together. "Did you give it to him?" he asked her.
She nodded. "Yeah. I'm sure he'll love it."
He grinned. "He will. I know it." Both made a joint-spending to buy the camera for him. They didn't regret it.
...
Terry was done sprinkling the cake and placed a glass cover over it. She sighed in relief and wondered what the time was. She asked Kali and Steve over at the living room, "Hey, what time is it?"
Both looked at the clock, Steve answering, "Ten minutes 'til eleven."
She nodded and went to the kitchen to grab a plastic bag of food. "I should be back by a quarter past," she said to her sister.
Becky and Carl looked at her from the table. "Gotta donate to that party Jimmy told ya about?" the short-haired woman asked her.
She nodded. "Yeah."
She then smirked. "Y'know, you two are gettin' awful close lately."
Terry looked puzzled. "What?"
"You 'n Jimmy."
She scoffed and shook her head. "No way. We're just friends."
Becky nodded, but looked skeptical. "Mmm-hmm..."
She rolled her eyes and exited the kitchen. "You're impossible."
"Oh, but tell Jimmy I said hi!"
"Okay!" Terry then got her coat, put it on, and then put on some snow boots, taking off her slippers beforehand. She put the hood of her jacket up and went outside to get to her car.
She drove to a secret place in the woods, "Mirkwood", someone told her, and exited her car. She walked into the woods and in a few minutes, stopped where she saw a small box. She approached it and knelt over it. She set the plastic bag on the ground and flipped open the latch to open it. She kept it open as she got out a tub of vanilla ice cream from the bag and put it in there. She got out a container with bits of her family's Christmas dinner and placed it inside there as well.
"Hope ya didn't bring too much," said a man's voice. She tensed up a little and looked to see Hopper approaching the box and her.
"Just a tub of ice cream and parts of my family's dinner," she replied plainly.
"Good." He knelt to the box and put a container of food he got from the party at the police station and also a couple of Eggos in a plastic wrap. Terry closed the box and latched it back up, the two standing up.
"Should be enough for an entire day, right?"
He nodded. "Right." He then looked at her. "Just so we're clear, when we find him, you're not telling Jane." She sighed. She knew how much he meant to her daughter. "We don't want to get in trouble and have her get stirred up in it." He was correct. After calling Dr. Owens, she was able to live a normal life, the way it was before that week. Sabotaging that chance again...she won't do it.
Even if it meant finding him and keeping him a secret from Jane.
"I won't waste my redemption by telling her," she replied, looking at him. "It kills me, but I know I won't."
He patted her shoulder to comfort her a little. "You're keeping her safe by doing so, okay?" She nodded, the man releasing his hand from her shoulder. "Come on, let's go." They both then left, leaving the box to be opened...
By Michael.
And there ends Season 1. What do you guys think of this finale? Any mistakes or typos I might've missed?
Trust me, I got pretty emotional during the scenes with the kids, the people from the lab, and the Demogorgon, both in canon and in this fanfic. I hope I captured those scenes well.
Yeah, so Terry's also going to leave food for Mike...and maybe take care of him with Hopper next season...but how, you might ask? Wait 'til Season 2!
I'm still indecisive about whether or not I should have Will have a secret crush on Jane in the next season. The writing I did for him in this season is intended to be more ambiguous due to my indecisiveness.
So, I hope you guys enjoyed Season 1! Season 2 is coming...BUT...I need to take a break from this fanfic. Sorry, but I need to update my other fanfics since this became my main focus ever since I started it. No begging for me to start up Season 2. I'll start Season 2 when I'm ready for it.
With all of that said, keep supporting this fanfic although Season 1 is done is support is great! I'll see you guys in the next season, whenever it'll come! :D
