Summary: While out hunting for food, Rose gets shot in the leg by a hunter, El has to do what she can to help her

The woods were quiet and still. It was the dead of winter and the snow that covered the ground and fell from the sky only made the forest quieter than usual. The only sounds that could be heard was the quick scattering of small creatures running through the underbrush. But passing through a small clearing was a doe. It stopped to peel off some bark from a nearby tree to eat, blissfully unaware that it was being stalked at that very moment. Only about 50 or so feet away from it, was a mountain lion. It slowly slinked along the snow covered ground, making each precise step as quiet as possible as to not spook the prey

Once the lion was close enough, the doe seemed to pause as it sensed the lion’s presence. But after a few moments of looking around, it went back to eating the bark off the tree, completely unaware. At this moment, the lion took its opportunity and sprung into action. The sudden movement caused the deer to panic and flee, but it didn’t get far. With the mountain lion right on the doe’s tail, it wasn’t long before it leapt up and jumped onto the deer’s back, sinking its teeth into the deer’s neck and bringing it down hard onto the ground. The deer struggled underneath the mountain lion’s weight, letting out pitiful yelps and cries as the sharp teeth sank further and further into its neck until eventually it stopped moving all together

“Good. Enough for a few days.” Rose thought to herself as she pulled her bloodstained mouth away from the deer’s neck, looking down at her successful catch. She was lucky to have come across a deer, what with food being so scarce this time of winter. The only things she and El had been able to find were squirrels and maybe a rabbit or two. Other than that, they were also eating any roadkill they could possibly find. It didn’t taste good but at least it would keep their hunger at bay for a while. But this deer, this would keep them fed for a good day or two. This was a lucky catch. Picking up the deer by the neck, Rose lugged the animal alongside her as she began to make her way back in the direction of the temporary camp she and El set up. But she didn’t get far when she suddenly got the feeling that she was being watched

Setting the deer down, Rose looked around slowly, large purple eyes wide as she scanned the area around her to see if she could see anyone else there. Eventually, she saw what was causing her senses to go off, but by the time she saw it, it was already too late. Off in a short distance, the barrel of a shotgun was positioned right at her, and by the time she saw it, an ear piercing bang filled her ears and the next thing she knew there was a burning piercing pain in her left thigh. Not knowing what to do, Rose took off in the opposite direction of the gunfire, leaving the deer behind. As she ran, she could feel a warm liquid running down her back leg and she could only assume that it was either the blood spilling out from her wound, or urine from the fear of her being shot at, maybe it was both

The pain in her leg made her stumble every now and then but she kept going, no matter how much it hurt she needed to keep going. But even as she ran, her thoughts were filled with nothing but fear. What if it was the bad men that were shooting at her? What if they found her and were trying to bring her back to the lab? What if they were following her right now and she was inadvertently leading them back to their camp and subsequently leading them straight to El? That last thought scared Rose to her very core. She couldn’t let the bad men find El, she couldn’t let them take her. So she quickly turned in the opposite direction of the camp, heading towards the river instead

Rose ran and ran as far as she could until eventually the sounds of gunshots faded away in the distance. She soon made it to the small frozen river and hid down along the river bed, pressing herself up against the small hill that passed by the water, shapeshifting into a rabbit so that she wouldn’t be seen as easily. She waited there for a good while, waiting for someone to come walking by, and sure enough they did. The sound of a few footsteps came closer and closer as they passed over her on the ground above her. Shortly after, the sound of two voices could be heard

“Damn it, I almost had that mountain lion. Would have made a good addition to my collection.” A disgruntled voice spoke out in frustration. “Well, you can always go back for the doe it dropped. She would make a fine head for your wall.” Another voice replied. “Yeah you’re right. Let’s head back and get the deer and then go home. It’s getting dark.” The first voice replied before eventually the sounds of footsteps faded back in the direction that Rose had run from. After a few minutes or so, she finally let out a shaky breath before shapeshifting back to her normal self. The pain in her leg was getting worse by the minute and when she pulled up the hem of her old and ratty dress, she saw the wound on her thigh

It was circular in shape and had gone fairly deep, but not deep enough to penetrate the other side of her leg, meaning the bullet was still lodged inside her leg. Blood was pouring down her leg and she knew it would be bad if she didn’t tend to this soon. So, as best as she could, Rose forced herself to her feet and began to limp back in the direction of their camp, not bothering to go back for their deer seeing as whoever those men were must have already taken it for themselves. With each step, it was like fire was being pushed through her veins. It was the most pain she had ever felt in a long time and it was agony. But Rose still pushed on. She needed to get back to camp before dark, the woods were nearly impossible to find your way through in the dark, and Rose didn’t want El to get lost coming to look for her

The walk back was much longer considering how Rose was moving at a much slower pace, each step on her bad leg was sending firey pain shooting through her leg, but she didn’t stop moving. It wasn’t until the forest around her was completely dark when she finally made it back to their camp. The glow of the small fire that Rose had built before she had gone out hunting was the only thing illuminating the area, and thus illuminating her little sister El, who was sitting by the fire to keep warm. She looked up when she heard Rose approaching and smiled a small smile when she saw her. But her smile fell when Rose suddenly collapsed onto the snow covered ground, unable to walk any further

Worry immediately shot through El’s entire body as she got up and immediately rushed over to her to see what was wrong. Rose was shaking uncontrollably as heavy labored breaths left her. “Leg…something in leg…get it out..” She wheezed out before pulling up the hem of her dress a bit to show the wound to El. There was a look of shock on El’s face, followed immediately by worry, she needed to help her and fast. So without wasting a moment of thought, El held out her hand and began to use her powers to find the bullet in her leg and slowly but surely pull it out. Rose was trying her best to not struggle and scream at the feeling of the bullet slowly being pulled out, she didn’t want El to think that she was hurting her intentionally. So Rose bit down on her tongue to keep her cries quiet

Eventually the searing pain finally ceased when El finally managed to pull the bullet out, tossing the bloody thing away into the snow nearby. She turned back towards her older sister and took her hand into her smaller ones, giving it a squeeze. “Done.” She whispered softly to her to try her best to reassure her. Rose nodded slowly as she pushed herself to sit up, pulling El close enough so that she could give her a hug, silently thanking her for helping. After Rose pulled away, she reached up and carefully pulled off the thin jacket she was wearing, taking one of the sleeves and ripping it off. She took the sleeve and carefully wrapped it around her thigh over her wound, tying it tight. It would have to be the best she could do for it now

By now, Rose was utterly exhausted, she didn’t know how much longer she could stay awake. All she wanted to do was to collapse into a heap and sleep. So with what little strength she had left, Rose pulled herself over by a massive overturned tree nearby and laid down in the snow, not caring how her dress became slowly soaked once more. She heard slow approaching footsteps before feeling El lay down beside her, snuggling up to her side for comfort and warmth. Rose of course wrapped her arms around El and pulled her close. As the two of them huddled close together for warmth, Rose had only one thought on her mind before she eventually drifted off. That this would all eventually be over soon

I’m already on season two and I think I’m falling in love with the show

So with everything that I fall in love with, you know I gotta make a self insert

So this is Rose Hopper!

She was originally part of the experiments that Eleven was put through, Rose being 6 when her and Eleven escaped from the lab in season one. Eleven usually calls her big sis and Rose calls her little sis. Rose is incredibly protective of Eleven considering that they were both roomed close to one another in the lab and have known each other for years at this point. While in the lab, Rose was given the powers to be able to shapeshift in the hopes that Rose could shapeshift into the creatures that exist in the upside down so that they could use those creatures as weapons. But for the time being, they just had her practicing by shapeshifting into animals and people

When Eleven was found in the woods in season one, Rose wasn’t with her considering they had both gotten separated in their escape, Rose promised that she would find Eleven no matter what it took before leading the men that were looking for them in another direction. While Eleven was with Mike, she would be constantly telling him how she’s looking for big sis and nothing else, much to Mike’s confusion. Eventually while Eleven and the gang are out in the woods looking for Will, they eventually come across a lone wolf and at first the boys are scared but when Eleven approaches the wolf, she isn’t scared at all because she knows that’s her big sister, and once she assures Rose that the boys aren’t a threat, she shapeshifts back to her normal self and joins the gang in their search for Will

At the end of season one, Rose takes down the demogorgon with Eleven and they both are taken into the upside down before eventually making their way back to the real world in season two. Eventually they’re both found by Hopper and are both taken in to live with him in the cabin in the woods

And that’s all I got for now but I’ll be sure to update about Rose more as I continue watching the series! I do have a love interest planned for when I get to season three where Rose meets a certain ice cream shop lady and falls head over heels for her! But more on that later! For now I hope you enjoy my new self insert!

Summary: When Rose is pushed to her absolute limit by Papa, she finally snaps and turns against him

Trigger warnings: blood, gore, graphic depictions of death, child abuse and referenced animal death

“Not good enough, Six. Try it again.” Papa’s voice was ringing in Rose’s ears, her vision blurry as blood trickled seemingly endlessly down her lips and even going as far to drip down her chin. “I’m trying my best, Papa.” She managed to seethe out through clenching teeth as she felt her head throbbing. Papa was trying to get her to shapeshift into what he referred to as her true form

A form where she was at her most powerful. She had only managed to pull off this form before when Papa and the other lab workers pitted her against a small group of four wolves, expecting her to kill them all and win. But of course, she was no match for the animals and was nearly killed by them. As a last act of fear and trying not to die, she shapeshifted into her true form. A form in which long sharp claws formed at her fingertips, two of her fangs extended down past her lips into two long tusks, a pair of sharp antlers sprouted from her head and a pair of large black wings unfurled from her back. In this form, Rose had practically lost herself in a fit of pure primal rage as she slaughtered all of the wolves. By the time the carnage was finished, she came too and promptly lost consciousness, returning to her normal self

Ever since then, Papa had only wanted Rose to attempt to attain that form once more, claiming that that form was when she was at her strongest, which wasn’t exactly a lie, but it wasn’t easy for Rose to take that form. No matter how much she tried, no matter how hard she focused her powers into shapeshifting into that form, she could never do it and would only continue to disappoint Papa. And he wasn’t very kind about her continued failures. There were multiple nights that she spent in the isolation room and she was certain that she had permanent marks on her neck from when he used the collar on her. All of her attempts, all of her struggles, it was never enough for him

“Clearly you’re not trying enough. You took that form so easily the last time, what is stopping you from doing it again?” Papa spat rather harshly as he berated her for her poor attempts at shapeshifting into that form. Rose could only shake in both fear and exhaustion as she felt her body just about ready to give out. “Gonna die..had to save myself.” She gritted out as she forced herself to look at him. “That’s no excuse. It’s no different from any other form you take. Now, I’ll give you one last chance, Six. Take the form or else I’ll have no choice but to collar you.” Papa told her firmly, his gaze both fierce and intimidating, causing her to flinch away from him

Rose could feel her heart pounding wildly in her chest. She didn’t want to be collared. She was sure if they collared her when she was this exhausted and this weak, she would die. So, with all the strength and power that she could muster, she focused all of her powers onto shapeshifting into the form that Papa wanted her to shapeshift into. She concentrated so hard, focusing so strongly that she didn’t even breathe. More blood began to trickle down her lips as her form shifted and wobbled, fluctuating between multiple different forms as she tried to focus on the form she wanted. But all of her efforts were dashed as she let out her bated breath and opened her eyes, only to see that she wasn’t changed at all and Papa was very unhappy

“I’m sorry, Papa. I really did try. I tried as hard as I could. Please no collar.” Rose pleaded with him as tears of fear began to well up in her eyes. But when she saw him reaching for the collar and the remote, her heart rate kicked up a notch and she began to hyperventilate. “No Papa please!” She begged as he approached her. “You have failed me, Six. It is only fair that you are punished for being a failure.” Papa told her as he strapped the device around her neck once he was close enough to her. “Papa please let me try again! I’ll do better I promise!” Rose was full on sobbing now as she watched him crank up the voltage

But there was no stopping him, whatsoever. Soon enough, Rose felt her entire body tense up as a powerful electrical current shot straight through her veins, making her fall to the ground as she let out loud shrill screams and cries of agony. As her vision began to darken, Rose thought for sure that she was gonna die. But in her last fleeting moments of consciousness, she felt her body begin to contort as her powers kicked on and as she took on a brand new form, she had a sudden burst of energy and with one swift clawed hand, she reached up and grabbed the collar, using all of her strength to pull the collar off, breaking it in two

Once the collar was off her neck, Rose stood up with a pained groan and managed to catch a glimpse of herself in a nearby mirror. Her form, it was the one she took when she had to face those wolves. It was the form that Papa had wanted. Papa. As the name rolled inside Rose’s head, she began to feel this anger she had never felt before build up inside her and she slowly turned towards the man, eyebrows furrowed as a deep hateful snarl twisted her lips

When she saw him, she could tell a part of him was scared. He stared at her with wide fearful eyes as he took a few steps back and her scowl only deepened as a dark burning hatred filled her up inside. “Papa..” She growled, slowly stalking towards him. “Six, that’s enough. Go back to your normal form.” Papa demanded as he took a few more steps back, but Rose didn’t listen, sge just kept stalking him until his back was pressed up against a nearby wall. And eventually she stopped when she was no more than a couple of feet in front of him. She stared at him with wide hate filled eyes, ones of the likes in which Papa had never seen come from any of his children. He didn’t understand what was happening, why Six was not listening to him and he knew deep down that there would be no stopping what would happen next

“PAPA!” Rose suddenly screeched before sprinting right at him and tackling him to the ground. He let out a startled shout as he felt her sharp claws digging into his torso, but the pain didn’t end there. As Rose had him pinned down, she grabbed ahold of his arm and twisted it in a way that it should have never bent and effectively snapping one of his arms, shattering the bones inside. Papa let out a wail of utter agony and tried his best to call for help, but suddenly couldn’t when blood began to fill inside his mouth. It wasn’t until it was too late when Papa realized that a massive chunk of his throat was missing and blood was covering Rose’s mouth as she spit out a chunk of his flesh

Papa slowly slipped out of consciousness after that as he had lost too much blood. But Rose didn’t care that he was dying, she still had too much energy and power and a whole heaping pile of anger and hatred that she needed to get out. So she continued to mutilate and utterly vicerate Papa’s body, tearing it to shreds. By the time Rose was finished with her rampage, she finally came too through her blind rage as the form she was in slowly turned back to her normal self. At first she was confused. What happened to her? Why did she seemingly black out for god knows how long? But it wasn’t until she saw the blood covering her hands and body and Papa’s mangled corpse in front of her did she realize what she had done

Papa was dead…and Rose was to blame

Summary: While out in the woods with Mike, Dustin and Lucas looking for Will, Eleven and her friends suddenly run into something they least expect

There were only the sounds of leaves crunching and quiet chatting amongst the three boys as they and Eleven walked through the woods together, the four of them trying to look for their missing friend Will. Eleven was trailing slowly behind Mike, Dustin and Lucus, looking around them as they trudged along through the trees. She couldn’t help but get the feeling that they were being watched. Dustin and Lucas were talking amongst themselves, trying to figure out which way to go while Mike noticed how Eleven was trailing a bit behind them, seemingly lost in thought

“Hey, you okay?” He asked as he slowed down a bit to walk beside her. Eleven snapped out of her daze and looked over at Mike when he asked that, giving him a small nod. But suddenly she stopped when she heard a distant twig snapping in the forest, snapping her gaze in the direction that she heard it from. “It’s okay, El. It’s probably just a deer or something. Nobody’s there.” Mike tried reassuring her but El simply shook her head. “No. Not alone.” She said quietly before turning and heading in the direction of the sound. “Hey! Where are you going?!” Mike called when she suddenly walked away, causing Dustin and Lucas to stop and look back

“What’s going on?” Lucas asked as he quickly walked over to his friend. “I don’t know, I think she senses something here.” Mike explained as he began to follow after her. “You think it might be Will?” Dustin then asked as he quickly followed in suit, Lucas tagging along quickly. “I’m not sure.” Mike told them as the three of them followed Eleven deeper into the woods. They walked for what seemed like ages until eventually Eleven stopped and began to look around. There was the sound of more twigs snapping off in the distance but it was closer this time. This seemed to set something off in Eleven because she immediately began sprinting in the direction of the sound

“Eleven! Wait up!” Mike called after her before quickly running after her. “Where the hell is she going?!” Lucas called in confusion as he and Dustin followed quickly in pursuit. “I don’t know but I think she’s found something!” Mike called back before accidentally bumping into Eleven who had suddenly stopped dead in her tracks, the other two boys eventually catching up. “What is it, El? What did you find?” He asked as he looked over at her. Eleven didn’t say anything, she just stared ahead of herself in what seemed like shock. “Uh, Mike? I think we should go.” Dustin said in a slightly shaky voice. “What? No, we can’t leave just yet.” Mike protested as he looked back at his friends only to frown when he saw the look of fear on Dustin’s and Lucas’s faces

Slowly turning to see what they were all looking at, Mike felt himself freeze in fear when he saw it too. Just about ten feet or so from them was a massive grey wolf, staring them all down. It growled and bared its sharp teeth as it took a step forward towards them. But there was something off about this wolf, something unnatural. It was its eyes. They were a stark violet, wide and staring right at them. “Guys, just back away slowly.” Dustin whispered to the others as he slowly moved away, Mike and Lucas following in suit, but El didn’t move. In fact, she actually took a step towards the wolf

“El! Eleven! What are you doing?” Mike whispered as he noticed her slowly moving towards the wolf. But Eleven didn’t pay him any mind, she just continued to move close and closer to the animal. The closer she got, the more the wolf seemed to calm. Eventually she was standing right in front of it and it slowly reached its head out to sniff her. “It’s me.” She whispered softly to it before slowly reaching a hand out to pet its head. Once she did, the wolf immediately moved closer to her and wrapped one of its front legs around her, pulling her closer as it seemingly hugged her. “Missed you too.” She whispered as she hugged the wolf just as tightly, wrapping her arms around its broad neck

While this was happening, the three boys were watching on in utter confusion. “Uh can someone explain what the hell is going on?” Lucas asked in confusion as he watched the whole scene unfurl. Mike hesitantly took a few steps forward towards Eleven but stopped when the wolf noticed and growled deeply at him. Eleven looked up when she heard the wolf growl and looked back at Mike. “It’s okay. Friends.” She reassured the wolf as she turned his gaze back to it. It seemed to look at her, silently asking if she was sure to which she nodded. At that the wolf settled and calmed. “Sorry. Didn’t know if safe.” The wolf suddenly spoke

“Woah!” Dustin yelped in shock. “What the fuck?!” Lucas shouted as he took a few more steps back. Mike looked startled as well, a wolf just spoke to them of course he would be. “How..how is this…” Mike stammered, lost for words. “Big Sis.” Eleven suddenly spoke, motioning to the wolf. “What?” Mike asked in confusion as he looked over at her. “Big Sis.” She repeated as the others came closer, walking up beside Mike. “That’s your sister? How is that possible?” Dustin then asked with a confused frown

Suddenly in a blur of purple light, the wolf began to change shape. Its shape morphed for a little bit until it took the shape of a young girl, no older than 14. She had shapeshifted. She was slightly taller than Eleven with a shaved head. She looked like any other girl except her eyes were the same deep purple and when she spoke, her teeth were still sharp fangs. “She’s like you. She really is your sister.” Mike murmured in shock as he looked between the two girls to which Eleven nodded slowly. “She comes?” She then asked as she looked back at the others. “What? There’s no way we can let her come with us, where would we keep her?” Lucas asked as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Stay in woods. Stay close by.” The older girl explained quietly, shifting a bit as she stood. “She’s her sister, we can’t just leave her.” Mike then told Lucas before turning his gaze back at the older girl

“What’s your name? Do you have a number like El?” He then asked her. The older girl was quiet for a moment before turning over her wrist to reveal the number six tattooed onto her. “My name is…Rose.” She then whispered quietly. “Alright, Rose, you can come with us. There’s some woods behind my house so you can stay there for now, that way you’ll be close to El. And when my parents aren’t home, you could come inside if you want so you can see her. That sound okay?” Mike explained as he looked up at her. Rose was quiet for a moment before eventually slowly nodding

“Good. Good. Come on, you can help us look for our friend.” Mike told her with a friendly smile before turning and walking back in the direction they were originally heading, Dustin and Lucas soon following after him. Rose smiled a little herself before looking over at her little sister. “Glad that you're safe.” She whispered softly to her before pulling her close in a tight hug to which Eleven returned. Once they pulled away, Rose shapeshifted back into a wolf and motioned for Eleven to climb onto her back, which she did. Once she was on her back, Rose quickly followed after the three boys, ready to start this new journey of her life
