Enjoy the peace whilst you can ;) Enjoy guys! And as always review!
Before there was Light there was the Darkness.
Light came into being and The Darkness cringed away from the light and the fire it brought.
It Made Home in the void, an all encompassing blackness. The Darkness found its home there.
The Light cut-off The Darkness from all creation, trapping it in the void.
The Darkness grew bitterly angry.
But it was patient.
It would wait.
It was forever.
It was Darkness.
And Shadow.
And Void.
Hawkins, 2008 September
Nathaniel Wheeler stood nervously by his mothers side as they waited at the front of the school entrance, today was Nate's first day of first grade, Mike stood talking to Hopper who had retired from the HPD several years previous found himself now as the official babysitter for Nate (Sorry Steve! Hopper thought smugly) as well as being the Granddad. Steve however did baby the other kids of the gang.
So he too wanted to see Nate's first day of school and so here he stood talking to Mike.
"Where are the others" Mike said glancing down at his watch. They were going to be late at this rate and on the first day that would be bad.
"Give them a chance Kid" Hopper said gruffly, despite how many years had past Hopper still managed to make Mike nervous even to this day, however Mike looked up to Hopper more than he did is his own father, who had always been distant with him.
Mike shook his head, he looked down the road to try and spot his friends cars, one finally decided to turn up.
"Looks like Dustin is here" Mike said nodding in the direction of the car his friend had.
Upon hearing Dustins name Nate turned round to see the car pull up in the car park, Dustin and another boy with Dustins curly hair got out from the backseat and ran over towards Nate.
"It's too early for this bullshit" Dustin Groaned
"Language" Hopper said smiling to himself.
El watched them talk excitedly about what else? Dungeons and Dragons, El caught Mike one night with a very familiar binder as he was writing furiously into its pages, he had other bits of paper strewn around the living room. Mumbling to himself as he crossed out several lines and checking said bits of paper everyone so often.
"What are you doing" she asked hands on her hips as she tried to look annoyed but just ended up looking adorable. Mike jumped fifty foot out of his own skin, he turned to look at her.
"Nothing" he said almost too innocently, he unconsciously drew the binder closer to his chest protectively.
"Uh-huh" she drew out the Huh, unconvinced. That was until she saw Nate's name at the top of one of the sheets. Then her eyes widened.
"Oh no, no, no ,no, you are not getting Nate into that!" she said trying to hide the teasing smile that was fighting its way onto her face.
"Why Not?" he whined, it was almost like he was a thirteen year old again.
"It's bad enough when you and the others, who, may I add are in their mid-thirties. still play it" she said trying to hide her amusement.
Of course the lads had never grown out the game even as they got older, still playing it from time to time, usually once a month instead of every weekend as their lives grew more and more demanding especially with them having kids now it just made it almost impossible.
She held out her hand "Give it to me" she demanded in a mother-like voice
Mike stood up and clutched it to his chest "No" he started taking steps back, he looked ready to flee, she stepped towards him and that's when he bolted from the living room.
She gave chase "Get your ass back here Mike Wheeler!" she shouted running after him.
"Never!" he shouted back, as he ran into the back yard. It was a very spacious yard, the houses in Hawkins always did have quite large yards, perk of living in a small town.
Mike spun on the spot to see El had caught up to him, both of them panting heavily, staring each other down, Mike gulped knowing he was in deeeep shit. If only he could get past her, he would of jumped the fence only it was too high even for his gangly limbs.
Her eyes were fixated on the binder and before he knew it, it was flying out of his arms and into hers, she turned tail and sprinted toward the house, Mike stood transfixed for a split second before chasing after his wife.
"Get back here El" he shouted, his spider like limbs finally uprooting and chasing after the petite woman, she giggled as they ran into the house, Mike was so close, she managed to dodge one of his arms before running up the stairs. Mike was on her heels.
Mike managed to tackle her onto a bed, he yelled in triumph, she rolled over to face him, the binder lay forgotten on her side. They gazed into each others, completely enthralled. Mike gazed in absolute wonder at the woman underneath him, her eyes always so radiant and warm. His smile suddenly turned into an evil one.
Eleven's eyes widened "Oh no, Oh no" she said as she tried to scramble for the door but to no avail
"Oh Yes" Mike said before he proceeded to tickle El underneath her arms, she started to laugh uncontrollably as she held her sides, her laughter was simply angelic to Mike.
"Mike! Mercy! Mercy!" she yelled through fits of laughter, Mike laughed alongside her, her legs kicked out from underneath him trying to get him off of her but he proved stronger of the two. But he did relinquish his attack, he stared into her brown orbs conveying to her what words couldn't, he leant down suddenly and captured her lips with his.
She sighed into the kiss, not expecting this fit of passion from Mike, she loved it, just as much as she loved him, Mike was about to deepen the kiss until…
"Ew Gross Mom!" Nate yelled from the doorway, both parents looked up to see their six year old son, Nathaniel.
"Nate Run! He'll get you too!" El yelled laughing.
Mike turned with the same evil glint in his eye and chased Nate who laughed as his father chased him, down the hall and down the stairs, El watched them go fondly before she heard Nate cry out with laughter, knowing that Mike was now tickling, Nay, torturing their son. She got up as Nate's voice cried out.
"Mom! Save me!" He shouted. She shook her head as she went to save her son.
The Three adults watched as their others pulled up with their kids, Lucas and Max with their son Jason and Will's daughter Mandy. Mike, Dustin, Will and Lucas hugged, shook hands and patted each other on the back as they all conversed. Their children already making their way into school after a very strange and loud speech from Dustin, other parents looked at him in mild annoyance until they realized who it was, which just annoyed them more considering that said parents used to be old classmates.
As they proudly watched their children march through the gate, El felt a small tear come to her eye as she watched Nate, Mike turned to look at her, pride in his eyes as he gave his love a small gentle kiss on the top of her head.
"Enjoy your next 12 years of boredom!" Dustin shouted after them, Lucas and Mike sniggered to themselves, Will just smiled to himself in amusement, whilst El slapped Dustin on one arm, and then Max full on punched Dustin on the other arm, Dustin Yelped in pain as he now rubbed the sore area.
"You guys are no fun" he pouted
Mike looked fondly at the school in front of him, so many memories, so much time had passed Mike thought sadly. He watched his son go and silently wished him Luck.
Dustin spoke up "Guys, we should take a moment" he said almost too seriously. Everyone stood for about three seconds before they turned round and walked off.
"And we're done" Dustin said to no-one in particular. He ran to catch up to his friends.
The Remains of Hawkins Lab still stood to this day, a partially collapsed building covered in soot and ash, A long fought battle long ago to save a Pregnant Woman from the clutches of her former captives. The basement level was still relatively intact.
The building creaked or groaned every so often, the place undisturbed as the government had finally sealed off the place before destroying all files regarding Project 11, the project deemed a total failure, its files were destroyed and forgotten about, they were never going to come back for Eleven or any of the other Projects that did happen to escape over the years.
A small rumble penetrated the silence of the decimated Lab as cracks began to appear on the wall, like the fissures of an Earthquake as black tendrils began to wrap themselves to the room in a snake like fashion, the gooey like resin began to widen and deepen before the goo itself began to make a resonating roar and hum.
An elongated grey coloured creature crawled out of the resin like substance, it stood up to it's full height, it roared at the ceiling its face spread like that of a flower, no visible eyes, just the flower like mouth filled with razor sharp teeth, easily able to tear a man apart in seconds.
It had once again returned to Hawkins.
