THEY HAD ALL VENTURED AWAY FROM THE ABANDONED SCRAP YARD and were now walking in the woods in the middle of the train tracks. Anastasia was standing beside Max, as Lucas asked Dustin. "You're positive that was Dart?"

"Yes, he had the same exact yellow pattern on his butt." Dustin answered with slight annoyance as Steve stared at him strangely. Although Anastasia would never say it out loud, she was able to see the future friendship between Steve and Dustin as the two acted like brothers together.

"He was tiny two days ago." Maxine remarked, she looked utterly confused which is exactly how Anastasia felt in the moment, she was still feeling dazed from having to fight off the Demogorgon earlier.

Dustin - who was standing in the middle of Lucas and Steve -  said. "Well, he's molted three times already."

Steve repeated with a little confusion, his eyebrows pulled together and his lips twitched. "Malted?"

"Molted." Dustin corrected with a roll of his eyes, "Shed his skin to make more room for growth like hornworms."

"When's he gonna molt again?" Anastasia asked, wanting to know as much as possible about the Demogorgon, despite having seen them before when she was in the lab she hadn't seen them since, plus, Anastasia had not been taught about them so she was just in the dark as the Maxine and Steve.

Dustin looked behind him at her. "It's gotta be soon. When he does, he'll be fully grown, or close to it. And so will his friends."

Steve then remarked dryly, he shone his flashlight around the tracks. "Yeah, and he's gonna eat a lot more than just cats."

They all then suddenly came to a stop as Lucas stopped Dustin, holding his arm on his shoulder. "Wait, a cat? Dart ate a cat?"

Dustin pretended to look confused by Lucas's words, looking around for help of the others who just stood and watched the interaction. "No, what? No. What, no."

"What are you talking about? He ate Mews." Anastasia recited his words from the car, her hands were on either side of her hip and her head were tilted.

"Mews? Who's mews?" Max questioned, looking over at Anastasia.

"It's Dustin's cat." Steve answered with a shrug, glancing at Max.

"Steve!" Dustin exclaimed angrily, his hands flying into the air.

Lucas shook Dustin's shoulders, annoyed that his friend had ignored their protests to not keep the creature that they now knew was a Demogorgon. "I knew it! You kept him!"
