Always and Forever 2- Will Byers x FEM Reader (Season 3)

We waited and waited for the pool to close as the boys finished setting everything up. After it closed we all made our way into our hiding spots in the boys locker room. Gross. The scraping and clanging of metal made him call out to the imaginary person.

“Pool’s closed.” he shouted out as more metal clanged, “Hey! Do you hear me? Pool is closed!”

We could hear him try to get out of the bathroom which was already locked tight. The lights were out as Mike began calling out to Billy in a fake voice. 

“Billy!”

“Who's there?” we could hear him grunt.

“Billy!!”

“Who's there!” he called out in a sing-song voice.

“Billy!” Mike’s laughter echoed.

“Billy!”

“You think this is funny huh?” he said.

“Billy! Come find me!”

“I found you, it's your funeral.” he threatened.

“Come and get me! Come on! Billy!”

“Got you.”

We heard him enter the gym and spot the trap in the sauna. He cackled and clapped as he approached the trap.

“Come and get me you piece of shit!”
He whipped open the door and laid his eyes upon the dummy with a radio strapped to its chest. Grabbing its neck, he lifted it so its head hit the ceiling.

“Hey, behind you.”

El and I had moved out of our hiding spots and we now stood directly behind the raging boy. His body turned to lay eyes upon the both of us.

“Hi.” we echoed before using our powers to throw his body backwards against the tile wall.

“Now!” Mike called out as the rest of them stormed out of the closet and did their jobs. I slammed the door shut as Mike slid the metal pipe in between the handle and the wall and Will chained them together so it would budge. They finally ran and got behind El and I.

Billy banged and tried to burst down the door in utter rage which made me a tad bit terrified. He stared off behind us, his eyes full of sadness, pain, and anger.

“Max.” he whispered.

“Do it.” she said blankly after seconds of silence.

That was the quick que for Will to run up and turn the heat dial all the way up to 220 degrees.

“Max!” he screamed, “Let me out of here! Let me out! You kids… You think this is funny?! You kids think this is some kind of sick prank huh? You little shits think this is funny?! What is this? Open the door.”

His voice made my heart thump against my chest and my breathing increase. Will’s hand was tightly grasping mine. It helped me make sure I didn't cry. Billy’s voice was so full of rage and ferocity it scared me.

“Open the door!” he slammed on the door, causing us to flinch back, “Open the door! Open the goddamn door!

One final scream caused him to fall to the ground. Will ran up and checked the heat.

“We’re at 220.” he said.

“It's not my fault.” Billy sobbed, “It's not my fault, Max. I promise you it's not my fault.”

“What's not your fault Billy?” Max asked quietly as she approached the door herself. 

“I've done things Max.” he sobbed, “Really… bad things. I didn't mean to. He made me do it.”

“Who made you do it?” she asked.

“I don't know, it's like a shadow.” he cried which made us all look at each other in fright, “Like a giant shadow. Please, Max.”

“What did he make you do?”

“It's not my fault okay?” he sobbed, “Max, please! Please believe me Max, it's not my fault! I tried to stop him, okay, I did! Please believe me Max. Please believe me!”

“Billy, it's gonna be okay.” she sniffled.

“Max please,” he pleaded.

“It's gonna be okay.” She said, “We want to help you. You just have to talk to us okay? You have to talk to us. I believe you Billy.”

The fluttering feeling once again crawled up my neck and made my eyes burn. I looked back at Will who had his hand on his neck.

“I feel him.” Will shuddered.

“He’s activated.” I whimpered, looking back at Mike.

“Max got away from the door.” Mike said while making eye contact with me.

“What?” she questioned.

“GET AWAY FROM THE DOOR!” Mike screamed as Billy shattered through the glass window, almost hitting Max who shrieked and jumped away.

I immediately put my arms out, keeping everybody behind me, including El.

“Let me out you bitch!” Billy screamed, now halfway out the tiny window, “Let me out! Ill fucking gut you!”

Reaching out of the window, he managed to get ahold of the pole, keeping the door shut, and removed it from where it stayed which should have allowed the door to be opened, however, the chains kept it somewhat shut. He continued to scream as Lucas suddenly slung something directly at Billy’s face, causing him to fall backwards onto the tile flooring. 

“Max, come on!” he shouted as I grabbed her arm and dragged her behind me with El.

The lights all around us flickered off and on, making us glare at them profusely. We could hear the struggling Billy inside the sauna get his bearings again. Shit. His screams became non-human as I saw him rise to his feet. 

“He can't get out, can he?” Max whimpered as Billy struggled in the window.

“No way.” Lucas shook his head, “No way.”

He continuously slammed the door, until finally, it came crashing down before us. I shoved everyone behind me as quickly as possible and stared at him with anger and power. I lifted a nearby weight and sent it flying at Billy, pinning him to a wall. I shoved it deeper into the brick wall, making him grunt and growl out. 

The strength of the mind flayer had possessed him however, causing him to start praying the weight away from his throat. I managed to duck, but not enough, causing it to hit the top of my head. From there, Billy’s tight grasp went into my hair and lifted me causing me to scream out in pain. A second passed as Billy stared at Max then at Will before his huge hand wrapped itself around my throat, cutting off my air supply. As he lifted me higher by my throat, I tried to hit him away while I couldn't breathe. 

“No!” I screamed with the little air I had left, “No!”
My eyes flashed black as they rolled back. Strangulation was no joke, I was dying and I could feel every second of it. Suddenly, the air in my lungs was regained as Billy dropped me and fell to the ground alongside me. It was Will, he had taken the metal pipe and smashed it into the backside of Billy. 

“Go to hell you piece of shit!” he screamed as he went to hit him with it once more but was quickly stopped by Billy’s fast reflexes.

My panting and gasping body pulled itself up with the help of El before both of us used all the power we had to lift Billy up off the ground, saving Will from the metal beating. As we moved in front of Will, El threw him through the wall while I sent a gigantic fireball into his stomach causing him to scream in rage and pain as he slammed through the wall. 

I hugged myself to Will and cried and screamed. Sliding down the wall to the ground, my eyes flashed black and hurt more than ever before. Will hugged me tighter and closer than he ever had before. It was too much. Billy was fucking insane and there was almost no way to stop him. All of us almost died with me AND El working together. 

As quickly as we were down, Will helped him up to my feet, and hand in hand, we walked to the broken brick wall in tears. A broken Billy was rapidly running off into the thick forest before us. I sighed heavily as I turned and hugged Will once more, burying my head into his chest.
