Chapter 12

"Jonathan!" he shouted, "are you there, man? It's Steve! Listen, I just want to talk!"

A few moments later, Nancy was answering the door.

"Hey—damn it, you were right—Nancy, what—" Steve started but Nancy cut him off.

"Steve, listen to me. You need to leave," she told him before looking over at me, "you too, y/n."

"Babe, I'm here to take you home from these whack jobs," I told her, "come on, stop being a weirdo and get out, it's late and honestly, I just want to sleep."

"Yeah. No, wait—no, I'm not trying to start anything, ok?" Steve pushed me to the side and looked at her seriously.

"Yeah, I don't care about that," Nancy replied all too quickly, "you need to leave—"

"No! No, no! Listen! I," Steve paused, "I—I, I'm—I messed up, ok?! I messed... I messed up. Ok? Really? Please?"

"Dude," I glanced at him with a bit of disgust, "that was kind of pathetic."

"Y/n, please can you just," he gestured with his hands for a moment as he seemed to not really know what words to use.

"Yeah. Sure. I'll just—" I mimicked his hand motions and stepped away.

This is weird.

Where's Hopper's car?

Why's it so quiet around here?

I glanced around as Steve continued his ramble and I let out a small shiver.

"Getting cold out here," I muttered before Steve caught my attention again.

"Hey? What happened to your hand? Is that blood?" he asked. I glanced back to see him holding a bandaged-up hand of Nancy's.

"Yo, what the fuck," I pushed past him and grabbed her hand, "that bastard, the fuck did he do, huh?"

"Nothing happened!" Nancy shouted as I jammed my foot against the door and pushed it open, "it was an accident, y/n! Please!"

Steve followed me in, and I just stared at the room.

There are new things in here.

"Is that a bear trap?" I looked past them to the hallway before looking back at them, "what the fuck, dude?!"

"Listen to me, I'm not asking you I'm telling you, get out of here!" Jonathan grabbed Steve as we both just looked around.

"What is that smell?!" Steve asked, "is that... is that gasoline?!"

"Steve, y/n, get out of here!"

"What the hell are you two doing?!" I shouted before pausing and putting my hands up at the gun that Nancy was pointing at us, "ok... ok... whoa—that... that's a bit of an escalation there, don't you think, Nance?"

"Get out!" she demanded.

"Wait, wait, wait," Steve said over repetitively as he and Jonathan parted as well, noticing the gun, "wait! What is going on here?!"

"Good question!" I shouted as well, glancing at the gun cautiously, "and what's with the gun?! Where did you even get that?!"

"You have five seconds to get out of here!" Nancy shouted at us.

"Ok, ok, ok, is this a joke? Stop! Put the gun down," Steve joined me in the art of putting our hands up in surrender as we both just gave her absolutely shocked out of our minds looks.

What the hell is she doing?!

What is happening?!

Where did she get that gun?

Did she own a gun this whole time?

Uh????????

"I'm doing this for you," Nancy told him as the lights behind her started flickering.

"Girl, drop the goddamn gun," I shouted again.

"No, no! No! No!" Steve shouted as she started to step towards us.

"Three... two..."

"Nancy! You crazy asshole what the hell!" I shouted.

"Nancy!" Jonathan shouted at her, somehow causing her to stop, "the lights."

"The... the lights? What about the lights?!" I exclaimed, "no! What about the gun! Hey—! What're you—"

"It's here," Jonathan stated.

The two of them started rushing around as the lights started to flicker wildly.

"Where is it?" Nancy asked.

Steve and I shared a confused look before we looked at them again

"Where is what?" Steve asked, "whoa! Easy with that—!"

The pair went back-to-back, both of them holding weapons and I just stepped to the side as the lights continued to go crazy.

"You two!" I shouted, the two stopped and looked at me, "explain what the hell is happening here!"

Steve and I continued to shout at them in confusion while the pair just looked around frantically, the lights not making the situation any better until out of nowhere a loud crash sounded out and something just started to... come out of the ceiling?!

Nancy wasted no time and started shooting.

"What is that?!" I shouted, staring at it with a wide-open mouth, absolutely in disbelief and shock at the sight.

"Go! Go! Run!" Jonathan shouted as he grabbed Nancy and dragged her away, the... thing... in the ceiling dropping down.

"Oh my god!" I stared in shock as Jonathan grabbed Steve and they went rushing down the hall.

"Y/n!" Jonathan shouted, rushing back and grabbing me as well, "come on! Move it! Move it right now!"

"What the absolute living fuck is that?!" I shouted as we ran down the hall, avoiding the bear trap on the floor and disappearing into Will's bedroom.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my—!" Steve shouted before I slapped him and grabbed his jacket.

"Pull yourself goddamn together, man!" I shouted, "stop repeating yourself, you're not making this shit any better!"

"You just wanted to do that to make yourself feel better!" he pointed right back at me, in disbelief.

"Maybe!" I shouted right back before we both looked at the other two, "what the hell?! Nance?! Explain?? Please?????"
