Y/N
You and Steve had been hanging out near the quarry, Steve unable to stop laughing as you told him your most embarrassing story.
"It's true! He shaved a few strands of my hair off to please his friend!" You laughed as Steve sat beside you.
"You're amazing. You know that?" Steve wrapped his arm around you. You kissed him before you yawned.
"Time to go?" He asked as you nodded. Getting into his car, you started to think about Eddie. It had been a while since you last saw him. When you left him in the parking lot, you didn't know if he had run off, or just gone home. Hoping that he was okay, you were scared when Steve suddenly stopped.
"Holy shit..." He spoke. You looked up to see Nancy Wheeler standing over a dead body, a body that looked to be similar to how Chrissy was described.
Getting out of the car, Steve held your hand.
"Nancy?! What the hell happened? Are you okay?" Steve asked as you looked at the body.
"I- I just found him here! I don't know what happened to him..." Nancy was panicking.
"Y/N. You stay here with Nancy. I'll go and get help!" Steve asked as you stood near Nancy, unable to believe what you were seeing. Eddie was definitely not the one who was doing this to poor unsuspecting victims.
"Who are you?" Nancy asked, barely able to look at the body.
"Oh, sorry. I'm Y/N. Steve's girlfriend." You introduced yourself.
"Wow, okay...cool." She smiled as you hugged her, showing support.
Within 15 minutes, Steve drove back, this time followed by 3 police cars.
As you waited to give your statement, you could hear the sound of the grandfather clock ticking closer and closer. Looking around you could see the grandfather clock lying in one of the police cars, the windshield smashed. Feeling a sense of fear, you closed your eyes and opened them back up, being back to normal. You sighed before feeling a wave of pain in your head as you listened to Nancy give her statement to the police.
"Steve. Eddie couldn't have done this." You admitted as Steve nodded.
"Eddie might not have done this, but something...or someone did." Nancy added. Looking between Nancy and Steve, you all gave your statements before leaving the scene. As you drove, you contacted Dustin using Steve's radio.
"Dustin! This is Y/N! Where are you? Do you know where Eddie is?" You spoke, waiting for a response.
"I'm looking for Eddie at the boat shed at Lovers Lake." Dustin spoke as Steve focused on the road, understanding where he needed to go.
Arriving at the shed, we raced inside, seeing Dustin, Robin and Max searching. Within a minute of searching, Eddie was holding a broken beer bottle to Steve's neck, causing me to panic.
"It's me, and look, it's Dustin." You smiled, trying to stop Eddie from hurting Steve.
"This is Steve. Remember him? He's Y/N's boyfriend. He's not gonna hurt you, right, Steve?" Dustin mentioned. Eddie looked downright terrified.
"Right. Yeah." He tried to remain calm.
"Steve, why don't you drop the oar?" Max asked as Steve groaned, chucking the oar away.
"What are you doing here?" Eddie asked as his hands shook.
"We're looking for you. We're here to help." You smiled, hoping Eddie would believe you.
"Eddie, these are my friends. You know Robin, from band." Dustin gestured to Robin, who smiled.
"This is my friend Max. The one who never wants to play D&D." Max weakly waved.
"Eddie. We're on your side." You moved closer with Dustin, watching as Eddie released his grip on Steve, allowing Steve to come over to you. You made sure that Eddie hadn't left any marks.
"Jesus Ch-" Steve sighed as he regained his breath.
"Eddie...we just want to talk. Okay?" You moved closer to Eddie, watching as he flinched away.
"We want to know what happened." Dustin knelt in front of Eddie who looked away.
"You won't believe me." He sniffed as he let go of the broken bottle.
"Try us." Robin smiled as he looked up at you and the group.
You and Steve sat down on the boat that was now uncovered as Eddie sighed, trying not to cry.
"Her body just, like, lifted up into the air and, uh...and she just, like, hung there. In the air. And her bones...uh, she...her bones started to snap." His description of what happened to Chrissy made it way too easy to imagine it.
You watched as Nancy's eyes widened. It was like this description was matching what happened to the other body.
"Fred..." Nancy was shocked. She quickly ran outside, writing on her note pad.
"Her eyes, man. It- It was like there was something, like, inside her head, pulling. I...I didn't know what to do, so I...I ran away. I left her there." He started crying.
"You all think I'm crazy, right?" He rocked back and forth, concerning you. Eddie was one tough cookie to crack, but whatever happened to Chrissy...it shook him to his core.
"No. We don't think you're crazy." Max spoke.
"Don't bullshit me, man! I know how this sounds." Eddie yelled, seeming extremely scared.
"We're not bullshitting you. We believe you." Dustin smiled.
"Look, what I'm about to tell you might be a little...difficult to take. Okay. You know how people say Hawkins is...cursed? They're not way off. There's another world. A world hidden beneath Hawkins. Sometimes it bleeds into ours." You looked at Dustin in confusion. Steve, Robin and Max seemed to understand what Dustin was talking about. Somehow, you were just as confused as Eddie was.
"Like ghosts and shit?" Eddie asked, confused.
"There are some things worse than ghosts." Robin shook her head.
"That night, did you see anything? Dark particles, maybe? It would almost look like dust, swirling dust." Robin asked.
"No, man, there was nothing you could see or, uh...or touch." Eddie flexed his hands as he tried to relax.
"You know, I tried to wake her, man. She couldn't move. It was like she...she was in a trance or something." Eddie kept rocking back and forth.
"Or under a spell." Dustin looked at you.
"A curse. Vecna's curse." Eddie's eyes widened.
"Who's Vecna?" Steve asked. You looked at him with fear in your eyes.
"An undead creature of great power." Dustin spoke, crossing his arms.
"A spell caster." Eddie sighed, clearly unable to process what he was thinking.
"A dark wizard." You spoke, worrying Dustin.
"Wait, Eddie's description of what happened to Chrissy, and how she was left...it sounds exactly like how Nancy found Fred." Steve mentioned.
"If Vecna is the one doing this, then we have to assume that Chrissy isn't his only victim. Fred Benson must be the second victim. The only question is...who's next?" Max asked.
