Weirdo

  The four boys made it to the woods at Mirkwood, by the time they arrived it was pouring rain. The four grabbed their flashlight and started walking through the woods, Dylan never liked the woods at night he wasn't sure why but every time he was there he would get goosebumps and his feet would hurt.

"WILL!" Mike yelled

The boys started calling for will

"WILLIAM!" Dylan yelled

"I HAVE YOUR X-MEN 134!" Dustin yelled

"WILL!" Dylan yelled again

  Dustin then turned to the three boys with a worried expression"Guys I really think we should turn back!" Dustin said nervously.

"Seriously Dustin! If you want to be a baby then just go home already!" Lucas yelled at Dustin

Dylan rolled his eyes at the two bickering for the second time today.

"I'm just being realistic Lucas!" Dustin respond

Lucas faced him"No you're just being a big sissy!" Said Lucas sassily

The boys went silent for a moment until Dustin opened his mouth again.

"Do you think Will went missing because he ran into something bad......and we're going into the exact same spot where he was last seen and we have no weapons or anything !" Dustin said to them Dylan giving him a *be quiet look*.

"Dustin shut up." Mike said, stopping them from walking, hearing a noise, Dylan heard it too.

"I'm just saying does that seem smart to you!" Dustin said again

"Shut up!" Dylan yelled "I hear something" all the boys shut up and listened for what they heard.

*Rustle* they turned their flashlight to the left and all they saw were the dark woods

*Rustle* they then turned there flashlight to the right they all saw a girl around their height and age with a yellow Benny's burger shirt that reached to her knees and a shaven head.

Dylan noticed she was soaked and shivering so he took off his rain jacket and gave it to her, "Holy shit, are you okay?" Dylan asked

"Let's get her out of the rain, let's go back to my basement." Mike said "take my jacket Dylan!" Mike started to take his jacket off but Dylan stopped him

"I'll be fine Mike, let's just quickly get out of the rain....thank you though." Dylan smiled

They all walked back to their bikes and Dylan got her situated on Mikes bike and then got on his.

_______________________________

The girl was now sitting on mikes couch in the basement, Dylan's jacket over her shoulders the boys were staring at her in confusion when Dustin broke the silence.

"Where's her hair? Do you have cancer?!" Dustin asked.

Dylan hit his arm "Dustin, you can't just ask someone if they have cancer!...... Do you?" Dylan then asked the girl himself.

"Did you run away?" Lucas asked

"Are you in some kind of trouble?" Mike asked

The girls eyes darted towards the four boys scared and confused.

"Is that blood?" Lucas asked extending his arm towards her, which was then slapped by Mike

"Stop your freaking her out!" Mike yelled

"She's freaking me out!" Lucas responded in the same tone.

Dylan just stared at the girl analyzing her, he almost recognized her but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"I bet she's deaf." Dustin then clapped his hands towards her making her flinch.

"Not deaf" Dustin said

"Okay that's enough! She's probably freezing, Mike go get her some clothes, your mom just washed those." Dylan said pointing at a basket behind them

"How do, You, know that?" Mike asked

"Because I was the one who brought it down here." Dylan said sassily

Mike listened and grabbed a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie from the basket, he gave it to the girl, she put it down on the couch and tried to take her shirt/dress off.

The boys immediately panicked Mike, Dustin, and Lucas turning around repeating the word no

"No, wait not here, you get changed in the bathroom, over there." Dylan said stopping Eleven from taking her clothes off, he then grabbed Mikes clothes and led her to the bathroom, without her noticing he used his powers to warm up the clothes so she was extra warm.

Dylan opened the bathroom door, and the girl walked in, before Dylan could close the door she stopped it, shaking her head."Oh, you don't want it closed?" Dylan asked

"No"

"That's fine, yea I close my bathroom door but not my bedroom it just um-it doesn't matter, here I'll just leave it slightly open." Dylan smiled and left the girl in the bathroom

  Dylan walked into the three boys having a debate about the girl.

"This is mental!" Dustin said

"At least she can talk." Mike said with a shrug

"She said no and yes, your three year old sister says more!" Lucas said

"She tried to get naked!" Dustin said

"There something seriously wrong with her, like wrong in the head." Lucas said moving his finger in a circular motion at his temple

"She just went like!" Dustin moved his arms reenacting what the girl did when she tried to get naked knocking his hat off in the process.

"Dustin stop about the getting naked already!" Dylan said

"I bet she escaped from Penhurst!" Lucas said

"Really Lucas? Penhurst." Dylan said rolling his eyes.

"Where?" Mike asked confused what that was.

"The nuthouse on Kerly county." Lucas explained to Mike

"Got a lot of family there." Dustin said jokingly

"Bite me." Lucas responded in which Dylan chuckled at the stupidity of his two friends.

"Seriously though, that would explain her shaven head and why she so crazy!" Lucas explained "She's an escapee and a psycho!" Lucas added

"Like Micheal Myers's." Dustin said worried

"Seriously! Guys she's not crazy alright I think something just happened to her." Dylan said trying to knock some sense into them.

"Well whatever it was we shouldn't have brought her here!" Lucas said

"So we should have just left her out there in the rain!" Mike angrily asked

"Yes, precisely, we went out there to find Will not another problem." Lucas responded Dylan couldn't help but agree with Lucas he didn't want to be distracted with something else.

"We should tell your mom." Dustin said to Mike

"I second that" Lucas responded

"I third." Dylan said

"Who's crazy now!" Mike said

"How is that crazy!" Lucas said

Mike sighed and looked at them, "if my mom finds out we found her she'll know we went out, and duh remember we're not supposed to be out tonight!"

"So?" Lucas said

"So! My mom will tell your mom, and then Dustin's mom, and then Steve will find out." Mike explained

"Our houses would be alcahrsatz." Dustin said looking at Dylan and Lucas.

Mike pondered for a moment and then came up with a plan. "Okay listen, she sleeps here tonight-" Mike was cut off

"You're letting a girl-!" Dustin said before he was cut off by Mike

  "Just listen, she sleeps here tonight and tomorrow morning she'll walk up to our front door my mom will answer and she'll be brought back wherever she came from." Mike then went to set up his tent so she can sleep and be hidden if he's mom came downstairs.

The three boys then sneaked upstairs to leave, seeing Mike giving Eleven more blankets.

"Do you really think she's crazy?" Dustin whispered to Lucas

"Wouldn't want her in my house." Lucas responded not taking his eyes off of her

________________________________

Dylan sneaked back in through the back door of his house, walking very slowly as to not creak the floorboards, he made it to the staircase and creeped upstairs opening his door slowly and closing it behind him leaving a little crack. He then put his bag down by his desk and opened his closet.

"Where were you?" Steve said while sitting on his bed turning the bedside lamp on.

"Jeez, how long were you there for?!" Dylan jumped.

"Doesn't matter, (30 minutes) where were you?" Steve said looking at Dylan waiting for an answer

"Umm mikes house." Dylan said keeping it vague

"Okay well you snuck out so you're grounded." Steve said getting up

Dylan looked at him with an annoyed expression."Oh yea because you want me to be here tomorrow night when you party with a-hole Hagen and his girlfriend bitch Perkins." Dylan said with a sarcastic smile taking about Tommy H and Carol P

"Hey! Language.........Fine yea you're grounded after tomorrow, I'm serious Dylan, I was worried sick." Steve said

"Yea, I'm sorry, okay." Dylan said looking down pretending to be sad

Steve would ground Dylan at least once a week but he never really listened.

"It's okay, goodnight." Steve says while walking out of his room.

"Goodnight!" Dylan said quickly cracking his door again.

Dylan opened his closet again grabbing his pajamas and taking a shower.

______________________________

He looked down in the mirror, and looked at all his scars, they were all so different some were small some were big, the biggest one was on his ribs it almost looked like a lightning bolt, and his back had this big line, the most noticeable one was the cut on his face it started on his right cheekbone and ended at his right jawline, he then looked at his wrist the burn mark, it went from his wrist to the middle of his forearm.

Dylan often wondered what his friends would think if they ever saw the scars on his body, they've seen the one on his wrist and obviously the one on his face but, do they ignore it? Are they grossed out? Dylan just shook away his thought and went to bed.

"Number 013!  Do it!"

013 looked at a kitten in a cage meowing at him, Dr. Brenner telling him to burn it alive.

013 had tears down his face, "I-i can't, I'm sorry pa-" 013 was grabbed by his face.

" I am Dr. Brenner to you." Dr Brenner said heartlessly to the boy.

013 just cried more.

"Do it!" Dr. Brenner repeated to the crying boy, he then signaled for the man with the taser to come forward.

013 just kept on looking at the kitten, he couldn't do it.

*SHOCK* 013 was on the floor clutching his ribs crying even more. Begging Dr Brenner to stop in which he was shocked again, blood slightly going through his hospital gown.

"BURN IT!" Dr Brenner screamed ____________________________

While 013 was dragged back to his room that was double locked, he was thrown on the cold tile floor, no bed, no pillows, no blankets just a cold dark room.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

Dylan woke up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily, *oh gosh that was a weird nightmare* Dylan thought.

He got up turned his alarm off and went in his bathroom, he brushed his teeth, and then grabbed a long white shirt and a pair of straight cut jeans he then put a short sleeve top on and his jacket.

He went downstairs and ate an apple seeing that Steve went early so he didn't make any breakfast. He put on his black converse that had his DnD character on it and some cool animals and insects. That was drawn on by Will.

Dylan rode his bike to school humming his favorite tune when he heard a small cry, he turned to his left and saw a kitten on the road he got off his bike and walked slowly towards it.

"Hey there, what are you doing here."  Dylan reached down to pet it but the Kitten backed up in pain squirming around, its skin peeling and melting sticking to the pavement like gum, it was burning.

Dylan backed up and tripped on a rock making him fall, he looked and still saw the kitten. The lab flashed before his eyes, his nightmares? Or memories? He covers his eyes still hearing the kittens screams, until it stopped.

He looked up slowly to see the Kitten wasn't there, it wasn't real. Dylan got up quickly and ran to his bike getting on and riding away, *what was that?*

________________________________

Dylan is in science class with Dustin and Lucas, he was already so worried with Will being gone! Now Mike is nowhere to be seen. Dylan anxiously waited for school to be over so he could go check on Mike.

"He's never this late, what do you think happened?" Dustin asked his friends looking at Mikes empty seat.

Dylan turned to his friends "you don't think-" Lucas looked at Dylan with a sympathetic gaze "he's not missing Dylan." Lucas then looked at Mikes empty seat "I'm telling you guys his stupid plan failed!"

"Hey! I thought you liked his plan?" Dustin asked Lucas confused.

"Yea! But obviously it was stupid, or he would be here." Lucas pointed out to Dustin.

"if his mom found out a girl spent the night-!" Dustin said worriedly thinking of all the possibilities on what happened.

"He's in deep shit, right now" Dylan finished Dustin's theory.

"What if she slept naked!" Dustin said his eyes widening at the thought.

"Oh my god, no ew!" Lucas remarked

"She didn't sleep naked." Dylan said to Dustin, a grossed out expression on his face

The boys sat in silence for a bit thinking of new theories.

"What if our parents find out!" Dustin said

"Even if Mrs. Wheeler found out, Mike wouldn't snitch on us." Dylan defended Mike.

"I don't know, all that matters is that freak would be back in the looney bin and we can focus on what really matters, finding will." Lucas replied.

Dylan was worried not only for Mike but Eleven, wherever she came from, it couldn't have been good and what if it's linked to Wills disappearance?

_______________________________

Dylan, Dustin, and Lucas all biked to Mikes house to figure out if his planned worked or if they were all screwed. They walked in Mikes house, Dustin and Lucas running to the kitchen to see Mrs. Wheeler while Dylan took off his shoes at the door, he then followed his running friends up the stairs to Mikes room.

The boys walk into his room and sees the girl sitting on his bed

"Are you out of your mind!"Lucas exclaimed, Dustin and Dylan both confused on why she's still here and why they weren't in trouble.

"Just listen to me!" Mike responded firmly

"Are out of your mind!" Lucas said back to him.

"She knows about Will!" Mike said grabbing their science fair photo with all of them in it. This got Dylan's attention.

"What did she say Mike?" Dylan asked stepping forward.

Mike looked at Dylan, "she pointed at his picture, she knows where he's at, and that would explain why we found her where Will went missing." Mike said more calmly."She also said bad people were after her! I think these bad people might have taken Will as well."

Lucas looked at Mike before quickly walking to the girl"Do you know where Will is? Do you!" Lucas yelled shaking her.

Dylan lightly pushed Lucas away"Lucas, don't try to forcefully get her to answer!"

Lucas ignored Dylan"If you know where he is, tell us!"

The girl looked at Lucas petrified

"Okay we need to tell your mom!" Lucas said to Mike

Mikes eyes opened wide, "No! Eleven said telling any adult will put us in danger!" Mike said

"What kind of danger?" Dustin asked quietly

"Eleven?" Dylan asked

"El for short." Mike told Dylan

Dylan then sat next to Eleven and gave her a small smile placing a hand on her shoulder comfortably. Eleven gave Dylan a smile back leaning into his touch.

"Mike what kind of danger!" Dustin asked louder

"Danger, Danger!" Mike said as we formed his hand into a gun shape and placed it at Dustin's forehead and then Lucas's which lucas quickly smacked away.

"No, no, no! We're going back to plan A we're telling your mom." Lucas then quickly rushed to Mikes bedroom door and opened it before it quickly slammed shut, hard, Lucas looked at the door confused before he opened it again which it was then slammed again harder.

The boys then all turned to Eleven who was now standing, blood trailing down her nose.

"No." El said while wiping her nose

The boys all turned to look at her shocked, she had powers, especially Dylan, he never seen anyone else with powers like him, he didn't know if he should feel comfort knowing someone was like him or fear that there were more like him.
