Okay first… I have to apologize, it was brought to my attention that chapter 11 was posted incorrectly. I have sense fixed this, so if you were confused, I am so sorry and hope you will go back and read the correct chapter

Here is the next chapter, I am excited to post this one. First I am sorry/not sorry for the angsty part I did with Roni and Steve as well as how Steve acted… but I promise, this will lead to a reconciling of emotions and feelings that I cant wait to write.

Any errors are mine, but I have done my best to review the chapter before posting.

I was still holding my throat and using Will and Max for support as we walked slash ran around the block to my apartment. Opening the door, I slammed it shut and locked it, leaning on it before grimacing and turning around to stare at the five kids all looking anxious.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked as I tried to clear my throat. "Why did Billy just attack me? Who is the 'we' he was talking about?"

"The Mind Flayer." El answered stepping forward and I scowled standing up straight and looking at each of the kids.

"The ringleader for the Demodogs?" I questioned and watched as they nodded, and I let my scowl deepen as I stepped forward. "The thing that controlled Will, the thing El closed the gate on and we destroyed?"

"Only we don't think it was fully destroyed." Mike explained. "El closed the gate, but we think it just shut off the connection to our world, when Mrs. Byers got it out of Will Nancy said she watched it fly off. We think it was just lying and waiting for a new host."

"And you think the new host is Billy?" I asked, turning to look out the peep hole of my door before sighing and sitting on the couch running a hand through my hair.

"I saw him." El said and I looked up surprised.

"What?" I asked. "Hold on you saw it, and you are just now telling me?"

"We thought it was nothing." Max defended. "We went to confront him…"

"Excuse me?" I exclaimed standing up now. "You two did what?"

"We didn't know at the time." Max continued, "and to be fair, we still aren't sure he's flayed."

"Flayed?"

"Controlled by the Mind Flayer." Lucas said and I just nodded before pinching the bridge of my nose.

"Which is why we have to find out for sure and expel the Mind Flayer from him before he hurts anyone else." Mike insisted.

"Else? Who did he hurt?" I asked concerned looking over the kids.

"Heather." El said and I watched as she looked down. I realized then, that's what she had seen, what she was referring to earlier.

"But she was okay, they were eating dinner with her parents." Max said.

"We need to know for sure." Will said. "We know it likes it cold, so…"

"We heat it out of him." Mike snapped his fingers, and I frowned in disbelief as the kids started talking about plans to get Billy. "He works at the pool right."

"Hold on…"

"Isn't there like a sauna there?" Lucas asked, looking at Max and Will.

"What is a sauna?" El asked, all the kids ignoring me standing there trying to get them to stop.

"It's like a room that gets really, really hot." Mike explained. "We need to go check it out, then we can make a plan…"

"Stop!" I stated loudly stepping into the middle of the group of friends. They all stared at me wide eyed and I had to sigh, and close my eyes before continuing. "No one is doing anything."

"But…"

"No." I interrupted Mike as he tried to convince me otherwise. "We are not doing this without Hopper or an adult."

"But…" This time it was Lucas that tried to interject but I lifted my finger up telling him to stop.

"No more buts. You guys will stay here until I get back." I said, moving towards the door.

"Roni." El called, grabbing my arm before I opened the door to leave. "I am sorry, I was going to tell you."

"I know El." I sighed. "Please just don't do anything stupid."

"Where are you going?" Max asked.

"I am going to go get Dustin and Steve and then find Hopper. Now stay here and lock the door!" and without waiting for them to respond I shut the door and started quickly walking towards the mall. I looked over my shoulder multiple times as I went around corners. The last thing I needed was Billy jumping me. Once at the mall I went right to Scoops hoping Steve and Dustin were already there.

Ignoring the line of customers and Robin arguing with Erica, Lucas's sister, I went right into the back of the store to find Steve on a ladder pushing Dustin into a vent close to the ceiling. For a brief second, I forgot why I had burst through the door, and I stared at the two of them arguing as Steve struggled and Dustin kicked his legs.

"What in the world is going on here?" I asked and Steve let go of Dustin and turned to see me standing behind him.

"Who's that?" Dustin asked from inside the vent.

"Henderson…why is your butt hanging out of that vent?" I asked loudly, scowling as Steve made a point to purse his lips and turn back to Dustin. "Why are you trying to get in the vent anyway?"

"If you had been here earlier you would know." Steve stated, his tone harsh and I was taken back.

"Something came up." I said taking a step forward, but Steve was quick to move back up the ladder to try and shove Dustin further into the vent. "Look I don't think that's gonna work, and we need to talk."

"I'm a little busy." Steve snapped and I scowled even further before I reached up and grabbed his arm pulling him down towards me and around to face me. He was mad, angry even, his eyes conveyed everything and under it all I could see something resembling being hurt.

"What is going on?" I asked my voice quieter as I watched Dustin from the corner of my before looking back at Steve. Wrenching his arm from my grasp he took a step back and put his hands on his hips. "Did I do something?"

"Nope." He said turning around before turning back to me. "You can do whatever you want."

"Okay?" I said unsure. "I'm confused. Did something happen?"

"You tell me Roni." He said, "I came by the arcade earlier…" as he spoke, I realized he must have come by when Billy was there, but if that was true he would have seen what happened.

"Is this about Billy?"

"I thought you said you tried to stay away from him since last year." Steve shot all the frustration coming out in his tone before chuckling and turning away from me. "But if you meant that then he wouldn't have been there this morning kissing you."

"Kissing me..." I laughed in disbelief. "Did you even see what happened?"

"I didn't need to. You know if you liked the guy you could have told me." Steve shot at me and I crossed my arms rolling my eyes.

"I don't."

"That's not what it looked like." He said.

"You know what, would you just listen to me…"

"I have to work." Steve interrupted before turning back to Dustin. I opened my mouth to say something but felt the burn of tears in the back of my eyes and had to swallow the lump in my throat.

"Forget it." I mumbled. "If you want to be a jackass and not give me the courtesy to listen you can go screw yourself Harrington." Without waiting for him to quip back I turned back around to see Robin standing at the door. I chose to ignore her questioning look and stalked past her towards the exit.

"Hey wait." She called running after me grabbing my arm. "What the hell was that?"

"Ask him." I said with a frustrated sigh motioning towards the back room.

"I'm asking you." She said.

"Billy came by the arcade today," I sighed rubbing the back of my neck wincing as my hand traced over the bruise around it.

"Oh…" Robin nodded, "I didn't think you liked Billy."

"I don't." I snapped before taking a deep breath. "He came by and attacked me earlier."

"What!" she exclaimed, and I pulled her to the side out of ear shot from other customers. "What the hell, did you tell Steve?"

"He won't listen." I answered looking down. "He thinks he knows what he saw, and you know what, if that's what he wants to think then I guess he doesn't trust me like I thought he did." She seemed unsure looking over her shoulder.

"I know he's a dingus, but he likes you Roni…"

"Funny way to show it." I remarked and shook my head, "Look I need to go. You may need to go help them before Dustin is permanently a part of Scoops Ahoy." And before she could stop me, I left. Once I left the mall, I went to the police station looking for Jim. Flo said he hadn't been in for a few days. After reassuring her that everything was fine, I found a taxi and got a ride to the Byer's home, only to find it empty. By the time the sun was starting to set I was back at my apartment, exhausted and frustrated. How is it that when we needed the Chief of Police he wasn't around. When I entered my apartment, I expected to find a group of pre-teens lounging on the couch, maybe with pizza, but instead it was empty. No one was around and all the lights were out. It didn't take me long to realize where they were, and I was out the door and running towards the public pool as fast as I could.

The pool was already closed, the cover floated on top of the pool and the gates were locked. The only indication that anyone was there were the flashing lights from inside the pool house. Cursing under my breath I flicked my wrist at the door, and it shot open. I wasn't trying to be stealthy, not right now. The yelling got louder as I got to the sauna room. The lights were going crazy and the door to the sauna was off its hinges. El stood in the center of the room her hand held out, on the wall was Billy, his skin dripping with sweat as he pushed back on the barbell at his throat. With a loud pop from the lights, I turned away just as the weighted bar flew back at El and she fell to the ground. Billy was up and stalking towards her. He had her neck squeezed in his hands before I could blink, and I instantly saw red.

With a yell of anger, I reached out and grabbed at Billy with my powers. The grunt and cry of surprise that came from him as he flew backwards and up to the ceiling made me smirk. With my other hand I slammed him down into the ground and brought the weights that were leaning against the equipment beside his body on top of him. I quickly ran towards El who was coughing but there was little time to help her up as Billy's hand reached around and grabbed my arm. The strength he was using almost seemed un-human as he used little effort to lift me and toss me across the weight room into the prick wall at the far side. I felt something crack as I hit the wall. I didn't lose consciousness, but I was dazed and struggling to wrap my head around what had happened. Will and Lucas were by me instantly and I could see his mouth moving, assumingly asking if I was okay but the ringing in my ear prevented me from actually hearing anything.

With a groan I rolled over and held my side as Will helped me up. I could feel something wet and warm on the side of my face, but I didn't pay attention to it, not when my blurred vision landed on El standing holding her hands up lifting Billy into the air. Even from where I stood, I could see her strength was waning. Stepping away from Will one hand still on my ribs I reached out and took hold of Billy just as El collapsed backwards into Mikes arms. Taking a step to the side I made one final yell of anger, pain, frustration, and fear and pulled him back towards me. The force brought him through the wall behind me and out into the open area outside the pool. Falling to my knees I cringed sitting so my back was on the wall.

The kids slowly started walking towards the hole in the wall beside me, and I mustered up enough energy to lift myself off the ground. Using the edge of the brick hold as support I looked out into the night and watched the figure of Billy running towards the trees before finally disappearing. Looking at each of the kids I wanted to lay into them. None of them had listened, and they had put each of their lives at risk, but after looking at their faces, defeated, scared, tired… I realized they already realized their mistakes.

After taking a few second to collect ourselves and make sure no one else was around we made our way to Mikes basement. Before going into the bathroom to clean myself up, I checked on El who seemed, for the most part, fine. She had a bruise around her neck from where Billy had grabbed her and a few other smaller abrasions but was otherwise just tired.

"We need to call Hopper and my mom." Will said from his place in the chair by the coach.

"I don't know where they are." I admitted grimacing as I stood up from my place in front of El.

"What?" Mike asked, shocked.

"That's where I was before you guys decided to go off and take on Billy." I snapped my frustration finally boiling to the surface. "I went to go find someone else. God… I asked you guys to wait."

"We wanted to know for sure." Max said quietly. She had been quiet since the events went down, and I knew she was hurting deep down from the revelation about her brother.

"You could have been killed… all of you…" I said, taking a deep breath and closing my eyes.

"I can find him." El said softly.

"You're tired. Just give yourself time to recharge before you dive into your tracking system." I breathed out.

"But I can find him."

"Fine." I gave up. But to be fair I wasn't putting up much of a fight, I was sore and tired and still reeling from my fight with Steve. Any fight I had was left at the pool, and now I just wanted to lay down and sleep. I walked away from the group and into the bathroom. Leaning on the sink I kept my eyes closed, mentally preparing myself for what I might see in the mirror. Running the water, I let my hands wash through the water, any dirt and blood washing away down the drain. Cupping the water, I brought my face down and gently washed it over my face. The cold water hitting the cut on the cheek and forehead from when Billy had tossed me through the room. Grimacing, I sighed and shut the water off and stood up.

Looking at my reflection it wasn't as bad as I had thought, now that the dirt and blood was washed away, there was a small trickle from the corner of my forehead just below my hair line and the cut on my cheek had already stopped bleeding. Outside of the bruise now visible around my neck and along the side of my face, the damage hadn't been too bad. As I processed my injuries lower, I lifted my shirt and hissed as I probed the area rib cage. Luckily nothing felt broken, but something was definitely cracked. Grabbing a hand towel from beside the sink I got it wet and then left the bathroom just as El spoke.

"I found him." She stated. I scowled and slowly lowered myself to the couch seat on the other side of her putting the towel to the cut on my head.

"Where is he?" Max asked.

"Woods." El answered the small trickle of blood dripped from her nose as she pressed forward.

"Woods?" Lucas questioned.

"That would be why I couldn't find him." I murmured.

"He's with… Will's mom."

"My, my mom?" Will asked, surprised.

"What are they doing?"

"Ill… annoy." El said struggling to get out the words. "They're going to Ill-annoy."

"Mike breakfast!" Karen Wheeler called from upstairs. I had almost forgotten she was upstairs. When we got here early this morning, she hardly batted an eye when Mike asked if we could stay.

"Not now mom!" Mike yelled looking at the stairs before looking back at El who was just now taking off her blindfold. "Illinois? Illinois, like the state? The state of Illinois?"

"Ill annoy." El repeated still unsure what it meant. Without any more I directed Max to the bathroom with El to help her clean up while I closed my eyes and listened to the boy's pace around.

"Something's not right… I can't get Hopper off my back all summer and now, now all of a sudden, he's hiking with Will's mom in Illinois?" Mike said hands moving wildly around him. "And Dustin's MIA, too?"

"He's at the mall, searching for Russians." I said and the three boys looked at me wide eyed.

"What?" they all asked simultaneously.

"That's what he's doing, he got some weird Russian transmission the other night when you ditched him, and he's been translating it and going through it and looking…"

"What does it matter." Lucas interrupted and I rolled my eyes annoyed. "The bottom line is none of them are here. It's up to us."

"Up to us to do what exactly?" Mike asked.

"Find Billy and stop him." Lucas said all the confidence in the world in his voice until I started laughing. The laugh was instantly cut off as I hissed and held my side.

"That worked so well for you a few hours ago." I said sarcastically. "What are you going to do this time that is going to work and not get everyone killed?"

"We burn the shit out of him and make sure he doesn't escape this time." Lucas stated firmly and I scoffed.

"Burn the… it's not that easy, this thing… its stronger then when it was attached to Will. It's going to take more than just heating a room." I explained sitting forward on the couch dropping the rag to the coffee table. "This isn't like before there's no gate that we know of that we need to close, and whatever Billy is doing, he did it to Heather. This isn't some D&D game anymore; people are getting hurt."

"Even if El did find another gate, and we did close it… and that's a big 'if' we still have another problem." Mike said, "We got the Mind Flayer out of Will before and it just came right back. We don't just have to stop Billy. We have to stop the Mind Flayer."

"How the Hell do we do that?" Lucas asked, eating a hand full of cocoa puffs.

"I don't know." Mike answered.

"Maybe El does." Will suggested. He had been quiet since we got back, and I am sure this was all to familiar territory for him.

"What are they still doing in there?" Mikes change of subject had me leaning back and looking at the closed bathroom door with the boys.

"I don't know." Lucas shrugged. "Girls just like hanging out in bathrooms."

"Why?"

"Their conspiring against you." I said.

"I knew it, I knew they were…"

"That's your concern right now?" Will asked in disbelief.

"It's not my main concern, it's just a sub concern." Mike shrugged.

"I thought it was already over." Will continued his voice at a loud whisper.

"It's not over, okay. We're just taking a break."

"She said, 'she dumped your ass'" Will hissed.

"Dude, that sounds like more than a break." I sighed.

"It was… and you do realize we can still hear everything you're saying right?" Max yelled from the bathroom, and I laughed as Mike's eyes got wide and he started mumbling to Lucas and Will under his breath until a knock came at the basement door.

"Not now mom!" Mike yelled annoyed.

"Mike." Nancy's voice came on the other side, and I sat up and scowled looking at the boys. Slowly I stood still holding my side and made my way to the door. "Open the door." She sounded concerned and anxious. Opening the door, she was standing with Jonathan, both looking like they had seen a ghost.

Steve POV

We were stuck. The doors wouldn't open without a key pass, and the elevator took us so far down, that climbing up was out of the question. Eventually everyone calmed down, once the fear of being trapped melted into exhaustion. Erica was curled up in the corner, she had been running her mouth since the moment she got in the vent, it was almost too quiet now that we had gotten used to her talking.

Dustin was snoring in another corner, which left Robin and I sitting and taking 'watch' in case the doors open. Having done a five second security walk through around the elevator Robin slid down beside me and I could feel her staring at me.

"You're burning a hole in the side of my face." I grumbled. I was still frustrated about the fight I had, had with Roni and I was tired of my inner turmoil going back and forth between guilt and justified reactions.

"Well, maybe I should." She shot back her voice holding a tone of venom in it. "You're a dingus you know that right."

"Pretty sure you established that." I sighed.

"You should have gone after her." Robin added simply and I scoffed shaking my head.

"Robin, no offense but stay out of it."

"So that's it, all that pining and ogling at her and you're just gonna throw it away because… what…" she shrugged, before continuing.

"I know what I saw." I snapped quietly careful not to wake the two sleeping in the corners.

"Oh good, so you saw what I saw." She nodded. "You saw the bruising just above her collar, and you must have seen her wince too."

"What?" I turned and watched as Robin just shook her head at me. "How…"

"Because dipshit." She sighed. "For the last month since starting Veronica has come to Scoops Ahoy usually happy and excited to see you, and today… she looked like she was running from something. I noticed something was wrong the moment she stormed in and then when she left. It just took looking at her, but your head was so far up your ass, and your pride was wounded by some make believe interaction her and Billy had, that you couldn't even see any of it."

I had to think back to when Roni came into Scoops today. I had been angry and hurt, Robin was right, and now after she chewed me out, I couldn't put an image of how Roni looked today clear in my head. I had made a point to not look at her long enough because I didn't want to see any excuse in her eyes. I had blinded myself, if what Robin said was true… but I know what I had seen at the arcade, I know I saw Billy advancing on her, and she hadn't moved, she didn't look…

"Dude." Robin waived a hand in front of my face, and I scowled and looked at her. "Two plus two man… Billy attacked her, she was coming to tell you." I opened my mouth to respond but Robin just shook her head. "Oh no, you aren't justifying anything with me. You need to fix this shit with Roni before you lose her, because dude… I wouldn't talk to you again if you talked to me that way, and Roni… she's tough and stubborn, you have a lot of crow to eat if you are gonna fix this."

I watched as she turned and laid herself down on the floor of the elevator before closing her eyes. My brain replayed everything, from the time I showed up at the arcade, to when Roni came into Scoops. I had wanted to show her I wasn't that guy she once knew, the one crazed over Nancy, or the jock that was just looking for a good lay… I had told her I was changing, and I thought I was, she thought I was… but right now, I just proved to her I was exactly the same.

Roni POV

"It was the same thing!" Nancy stated confidently, Mike and Lucas had just gone into detail on what happened to them, with a few added details from me both Nancy and Jonathan didn't seem all that surprised. Nancy had explained that she had been at the hospital all night with a woman she had interviewed about crazed rats. "The exact same thing that happened to Will last year, and look at this, look at the body temperatures."

She handed me the notebook she had been using to monitor Mrs. Driscoll all night and sure enough the temperatures proved our theory. All the temps were low, cold.

"He likes it cold." Will said looking over my shoulder at the book.

"Okay, so this crazy old woman who was eating fertilizer…" Mike started.

"Mrs. Driscoll." Nancy interrupted quickly.

"Right, yeah… Mrs. Driscoll. What time was this attack?" He asked.

"Last night." She answered looking back at Jonathan.

"Right, but what time last night?" Mike reiterated his question looking at his sister.

"Around 9."

"You waited all night to call?" Jonathan asked, almost offended. I scowled as I watched Nancy explain herself, I had thought they had gone together as Will had to when he questioned his brother. "Well, I'm here now, aren't I?"

"Hallelujah." Nancy muttered under her breath before looking back at us. "What time was your, uh… sauna test?"

"Around 9." I answered thinking back to the large clock on the wall right outside the pool house when I had arrived.

"Well, that proves it." She said excitedly. "That proves my theory."

"She's flayed." Mike agreed, "Just like Billy."

"Flayed?" Jonathan asked.

"The Mind Flayer, he flays people." Mike explained. "Takes over their mind. Once they do that, they basically become him."

"That's all great an all… and I'm glad the theory's correct, but that still leaves us with a pretty big problem." I said leaning forward so my elbows were on my knees. "This isn't like last time… last time it was just Will, now we're saying there are two people that are… 'flayed' out there. Whatever this is, it's bigger this time."

"How is that even possible." Jonathan asked. "Eleven closed the gate. This thing shouldn't be gaining any power."

"Unless the more people it flays, the more power it gets." Max suggested.

"So, if we're saying all this is true, and we're saying that there are two flayed people you there…" I started looking around.

"If there are two flayed…" Lucas nodded repeating what I just said before looking around as realization hit everyone.

"We have to assume there are more." Will agreed.

"Heather." El said quietly and all eyes turned to her. "Billy was doing something to her. She was scared, she was screaming. Bad screams."

"What's a good scream?" Lucas wondered out loud.

"Max said…" El started to say and I watched as Max quickly interrupted.

"Doesn't matter." She said.

"Dammit El…" I cursed putting my head in my hands. "You should have told me when you saw this happen…"

"I'm sorry…" I heard her mumble, but I just shook my head and took a deep breath pushing down the frustration I was feeling.

"I'm sorry, I'm lost." Nancy came in, bringing the attention back to the group. "Who's Heather?"

"She's the lifeguard at the pool." Max answered and Nancy's eyes got big as she put up her hand.

"Heather Holloway?" As the group nodded, I watched as both Nancy and Jonathon looked at each other.

"Tom." They both said before quickly ushering everyone upstairs. I wasn't sure what conclusion they had come to, but whatever happened with Heather, the new theory was that the same thing happened to Tom, Nancy and Jonathon's boss. Piling into Nancy's car, I got into the back seat with El and Max while the boys were forced to ride in the far back.

"Okay, so you think Tom is flayed… because he fired you?" I asked from the back seat as Nancy drove towards the Holloway house.

"Well, yeah… kind of." Nancy shrugged. "The way he did it, it wasn't like him, out of character."

"He also looked sick." Jonathon added.

Pulling up to the house it looked empty. No car's in the driveway and no lights on in the house. Slowly and cautiously, we walked up to the front door. After the events with Billy, I found myself protectively standing between the door and the kids waiting for it to come off the hinges. Nancy slowly reached out and rang the doorbell. After we waited with no answer, she tried the handle and the door slowly swung open.

"Jesus… it's freezing." Max said as we walked through the entry way of the home.

"That check one box." I said looking at Will who nodded. 'he likes it cold.' It had been the mantra from last year and now seemed to be rolling over into this summer.

"Do you guys smell that?" Nancy asked as we continued through the home. I had noticed the smell when we entered the home, I couldn't place it but it was getting stronger the further into the home we got, until we reached the kitchen and it became overwhelming.

"Oh wow." I said grimacing and covering my nose. "What the hell is that?"

"More chemicals." Nancy said seeing the cleaning chemicals littered the counters, some of the liquid and chemicals bleeding through the tile and burning through the material.

"You think they're guzzling this shit?" Jonathan asked, looking closer at one of the jugs disgusted.

"Either that or they just went on a hell of a cleaning spree." Nancy nodded.

"But last year Will didn't eat chemicals." Max said before turning to Will with a scowl, "Did you?"

"No this is something new." Will shook his head.

"This is longer and bigger then before." I added.

"Mr. Clarke, fifth grade. Posit!" Mike said suddenly, looking around waiting for Lucas to catch on. "What happens when you mix chemicals together."

"You create a new substance." Lucas and Will said.

"What if they're making something?" Mike asked.

"In themselves?" Max scowled, "I mean come on if you drink this crap, it'll kill you."

"Yeah, if you're human." Lucas said.

"What if it needs more this time?" I questioned. "I mean we already know it likes it cold right, well what if it needs more to sustain itself in a body as it gets stronger?"

"So, the chemicals are like food and water to us?" Jonathan said. Nancy passed him concern written on her face as she left the kitchen and walked into the dining room. Plates were still set on the table food left abandoned. Continuing, she stopped next to the carpet where a bottle lay a few feet away and a dark red stain was dry on the carpet.

"Blood." El said behind Nancy.

"Yesterday Tom had a bandage on his forehead." Nancy explained grabbing the bottle. "He was attacked."

"Hey take a look at this." I said, walking past her towards the end of the hall where the carpet was lifted up at the corner. "If he was attacked, they were dragged this way."

We slowly made our way into the garage and Jonathon lifted a cut rope from the ground where a car would have been.

"He must have tied them." Jonathon mentions kneeling and looking up at Nancy and I. "They must have taken them somewhere."

"Mrs. Driscoll, she kept saying 'I have to go back'" Nancy said and I scowled. "What if the… the 'flaying', what if it's taking place somewhere else? There must be a place where all this started right?"

"Like a source." I nodded.

"Somewhere he didn't want me to see." El added.

"If we can find the source, then maybe we can stop him." Nancy suggested. "Or atleast stop it from spreading, or doing whatever the hell he's doing with those chemicals."

"How do we find it?" El asked.

"Mrs. Driscoll…" Will offered, "If she wants to go back so badly… why don't we let her."

Here's to another chapter. hope it didn't disappoint. I will be working on Chapter 14 and hopefully post it in the next week or so.

Let me know what you think. Suggestions, comments, likes, I appreciate it all!
