Eddie had been spending a lot of time at the bench in the forest where he had been with Chrissy, his name had been cleared but people still believed he was guilty, all he wanted was to make sure she was okay. He was laying on his back across the table, watching the clouds as his arms hung over the edge, he had deep wounds across his neck and exposed arms from the demobat, sleeves pushed up. Hearing a twig snap nearby he sat up so quickly he had to push his hair back out of his face. Eddie just stared for a few moments before getting off the table to fast he almost tripped over his own legs.

It’s been a few weeks or so since he died and was resurrected by Vecna’s bats. The creep said he’d be of use to him and had him roaming the Upside Down until he was ready to use him. Today was apparently the day.

He wasn’t necessarily himself anymore. Eddie could remember some of himself and at moments he could fight the hold of Vecna long enough to wonder where the hell he was going. That’s the thing; he doesn’t know where he is. Obviously it’s Hawkins but he’s never been in this area before. He doesn’t even know whose house he’s looking at when he arrives.

You’re the reason I didn’t get her before. He heard Vecna’s voice in his mind. Now you’ll be the one to take her life for me.

It was done with complete luck as Robin didn't possess any serious skills. She could get the job done when need be, but most the time, she had horrible hand-eye coordination. But, balloon after balloon after balloon popped and soon enough she had a teddy bear that was nearly taller than her.

"It's my pleasure." She told Chrissy, just happy to make her smile.

❰❰ CUDDLE ❱❱ our muses cuddle From Nancy Steve never had thought that he was going to be able to have a moment like this again, at least not with Nancy Wheeler. Ever since their break up, there had been plenty of times that Steve had been cuddled up with other girls, but it was never the same. No one could replace the one woman he loved with every cell in his body. It had always been clear, that no matter how much Steve attempted to move on, Nancy had him in her clutches. That was why he had been so open about it in the Upside Down. It wasn't like he wanted to make things messier for her by explaining that his dreams had always involved having a family with her and her alone, but he had wanted to be honest. Those feelings still lingered. He had changed. She had changed. And maybe, just maybe, if they made it out alive, they could have a second chance. That was what Steve's hope had been.

It’s been a full day since Billy was locked in his room with the latch that Neil installed. He came home that night without Max when he was told to find her. It upset his father to the point he went to Melvald’s and bought the latch from the nice woman at the counter who thought it was going on a pantry or closet, not a teenage boy’s bedroom door.

"Billy. . ." Chrissy's voice broke a little and she had been crying. She tugged at her sweater tighter as she stepped closer. "I don't want to stay in school. Can we just go do something or hang out please?" She had small hiccups and wouldn't look up at him fully and seemed to be shaking a little bit.

Billy had been looking over a reading assignment when Chrissy approached and when he looked up immediate concern broke through his normally uninterested expression.
