🔥CHAPTER 25🔥

*-*Merliah's POV*-*

Nancy sped into their driveway, getting out of the car, the rest of us following behind her. It's only been two days since we were here. Nancy knocked on the door, but no one answered, Eleven opened the door instead, and once again we invited ourselves in.

"Tom? Heather?"

All the lights were still on, as we started walking inside following Nancy. "Jesus, it's freezing."

"Do you guys smell that?" Nancy asks, making our way towards the kitchen, it sure was a disaster, empty chemical bottles laying everywhere, the fridge laying on it's side, it's chemicals eaten out of it, as well.

"Oh."

"Oh, god."

"More chemicals."

"You think they're guzzling this shit?" Jonathan asks, taking a closer look at some of the empty chemical containers.

"Yeah, either that, or they just went on a hell of a cleaning spree." Nancy states.

"But, last year, Will didn't eat chemicals. Did you?" Max asks the boy.

"No. This is something new." Will says.

"Mr Clarke, fifth grade. Posit. What happens when you mix chemicals together?" Mike asks the boys.

"You create a new substance."

"What if they're making something?" Mike questions.

"In themselves?" Max asks confused. "I mean, come on, if you drink this crap, it'll kill you." She adds, after noticing most of the others looking at her.

"Yeah, if you're human." Lucas points out.

Nancy starts walking towards the dining room, where the table was exactly the same as the night we just barged in, so whatever happened here  happened after we left.

Nancy suddenly made her way to the carpet crouching down, touching a spot that was blood stained. "Blood." She mutters. Jonathan crouched down next to her. "Yesterday... Tom had a bandage on his forehead." She says to him, picking up the wine bottle, taking a closer look, there was blood on the bottle too. "He was attacked." Nancy says.

Looking further, there was a carpet out of place, which told me in which direction they were pulled in, after that the blood on the floor led us too the garage, the only clue we got after that was the rope laying on the floor.

"They must have tied them. They must have taken them somewhere." Jonathan states, crouched down ropes in hand.

"Mrs Driscoll. She kept saying.... 'I have to go back.' What if the flaying, its taking place somewhere else? There must be a place where all this started, right? A source." Nancy states.

"Somewhere he didn't want me to see." Eleven points out.

"If we can find the source, then maybe we can stop him. Or at least stop it from spreading. Or doing whatever the hell he's doing with those chemicals." Nancy explains.

"And how do we find it?" I ask no one in particular.

"Mrs Driscoll. If she wants to go back do badly why don't we let her?" Will asks, having us look at each other, having a silent conversation, but we ended up getting back into the car and driving to the hospital anyway.

When we arrive at the hospital, we got stopped by the receptionist, Nancy told her we were all Mrs Driscoll's grandchildren, but the lady made it very clear only two people per visit. So Nancy and Jonathan went up, and i stayed with the kids.

I sat in the chairs, with Will. The others were standing around. "Are you okay?" Will asks, when I started fidgeting in my seat.

"Something's just being feeling kind of different after the whole sauna test we did on Billy." I told him, my leg bouncing in it's place.

"Different how?" Will asks me curiously staring at me.

"Like something has been awoken inside of me." I tell him honestly, after that silently told us to go away, so that he could talk to Eleven.

The lights started flickering after awhile, which clearly wasn't a good sign.

"He's here." Will states, after reaching at the back of his neck, and we knew we couldn't just sit there when this thing was in the hospital.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Two at a time!" The lady at the desk yells as we walk past her, in a hurry, ignoring her completely, making our way upstairs, the elevator's didn't work.

"The stairs." I point out, we didnt hesitate to start running up on them.

When we got to the floor Mrs Driscoll was on, we found Jonathan trying to smash open a door's glass. Eleven flung the door open, the monster inside with Nancy roared in anger.

"Jesus!"

"What the f..."

It came charging at us, but Eleven flung ut all across the room, screaming in anger, but it got back up again, when it came running at her once more, she pushed it back with her powers, making it go through the window.

"Go."

"Nancy." Jonathan went to help her first and then followed us outside, where we saw that thing's body turning into some sort of substance, and it started moving, falling into the drain, only bones were left behind after it disappeared from our sight.
