It Only Gets Stranger *ST X Reader*

The Flea and The Acrobat Part Four

"C'mon, wake up man, c'mon!" Dustin says.

"Wake up Lucas, please!" I plead, fanning his face, trying to wake him up.

Lucas wakes up.

"Oh thank God." I say, and almost pass out from relief.

"Lucas, how many fingers am I holding up?" Dustin questions, holding up three fingers.

"Here, let me see-" I reach a hand out to look at Lucas's head, but he bats my hand away.

"Get off of me!" Lucas snaps, getting up and starting to walk away.

"Lucas-" Mike starts, but Dustin interrupts.

"Let him go."

I realize that it's been awfully quiet. I spin on my heel, surveying the junkyard, when it finally clicks. El is gone. "Where's El?" I ask, looking around, as if this is just a silly little prank.

Mike and Dustin turn around too. We all start to comb the junkyard.

"El?"

"El!"

"Eleven!"

"El!"

Third Person POV, the woods with Nancy and Jonathan.

Nancy and Jonathan are walking through the woods, but all of a sudden, Nancy stops.

"What, are you tired?" Jonathan says.

"I hear something." Nancy replies and walks off.

She finds a deer, laying on the ground, all bloody and beaten up.

"It must've been hit by a car." Nancy crouches down.

"We can't just leave it." Jonathan says.

Nancy stands up, pulling out the gun. She points it at the deer, but hesitates.

"I'll do it." Jonathan states. He aims the gun, and prepares to shoot the poor thing.

All of a sudden, something drags the deer away.

Nancy and Jonathan both jump.

"Where did it go?"

They both start to follow the trail of blood, their only clue as to where the deer went off too.

"Do you see any more blood?" Jonathan asks, searching the ground for ideas about where the deer could've gone.

"No." Nancy replies.

They walk off in separate directions.

All of a sudden, Nancy sees some weird.....gunk inside the base of a tree.

She leans in to get a better look at it.

There's blood leading into it.

"Jonathan?" Nancy calls out uncertainly, but he must not have heard her. She looks back at the stuff, and crawls into it.

Quick little A/n. If you EVER see some weird stuff like the Upside Down goop, do NOT be a Nancy Wheeler, and crawl into it. You don't want to get eaten by the Demogorgon. But seriously, like just don't.

Nancy comes out the other side, covered in goop, in the woods.

But it's.....different. the trees look as if they've been covered with a thin layer of ice. There are.....particles floating around in the air. Things are dead silent.

Nancy's flashlight flickers. She walks forward anyways.

Something makes a noise to her right. When Nancy looks, there is a human-like creature with extremely long limbs and gray skin.......eating the deer.

Nancy starts to slowly back away from the thing, but OF COURSE she just HAS to step on a twig, which snaps in half.

The creature spins around to face Nancy.

It has a flower bud like head that opens up to reveal rows upon rows upon rows of sharp teeth.

Nancy starts to run, dropping the flashlight and screaming.

Jonathan hears her somehow. "Nancy!"

He rushes off in the direction she walked in earlier. He finds her bag, sitting by a tree trunk. "Nancy...?"

He completely misses the portal in the tree.

So, another chapter. Idk why, but I just kinda wanted to draw this episode out a bit more, make it a bit more interesting. Also, I just kept finding good spots to stop and torture you guys for another week. So, yeah, I'm evil. Sue me.
Until next week, later ya Flayed Demodogs.
