《Always (Steve Harrington X Reader)》Chapter 009
Advertisement
Steve and I wait with the kids while the others talk to Will. We all sit around, worried that our place won't work.
Steve swings his bat around in the living room, Lucas and Max sit against the wall in the hallway, Nancy stands against the wall of the kitchen, and Dustin and I pace the house.
After a while, the others walk through the door. Hopper grabs a pen and paper and looks up at the Morse code sign on the wall.
"What happened?" Dustin asks.
Hopper sighs, "I think he's talking, just not with words."
Hopper starts by writing four dots. He pauses. Writes one dot. Pauses. One dot a dash and then a dot. Pause. Dot.
"What is that?" Steve questions.
"Morse code," The boys and I answer I unison.
"H-E-R-E." Hopper reads, "Here. Will's still in there. He's talking to us," Hopper, Joyce, Nancy, Jonathan, and Mike all back inside the shed.
I sit down next to Dustin. Both of us have a piece of paper. He writes down the code and gives me a letter.
An hour later I look down at the finished product:
C-L-O-S-E-G-A-T-E
The other four in the room surround me, "Close gate." We all say in sync.
The phone rings causing us to jump. Dustin and I run over and he hangs up the phone. We all let out a sigh of relief look, but then it rings again.
Dustin goes to hang it up again, I grab the phone and rip it off of the wall and throw it down he hallway.
"Do you think he heard that?" Max asks.
Steve shakes his head, "It's just a phone. It could be anywhere. Right?"
The Demo-dogs screech in he distance signalling they know where we are.

"That's not good," Dustin mumbles.
The others in the shed bring a sedated Will inside.
The kids look out the windows trying to see the Demo-dogs. While the rest of us find weapons of some sort.
"Hey. Hey, get away from the window! Hopper yells. The kids jump back and he turns to Jonathan. He holds one of the guns out, "Do you know how to use this?"
"What?"
"Can you use this?" Hopper questions.
"I can," Nancy steps forward and takes the gun.
Steve pushes me behind him and I push Dustin behind me. We all look at the window and doors, waiting.
"Where are they?" Max asks from behind Lucas.
Something bangs against the door and we all turn towards it.
"What are they doing?" I murmur.
I grab on to Dustin's hand and he grips it tightly.
One of the Demo-dogs snarl and we all turn back toward it's direction. It screeches loudly, but then it stops abruptly.
I look up at Steve and something crashes through the window. Everyone besides Hopper scream and scramble back.
The Demo-dog doesn't move.
"Is it dead?" I pant, trying to catch my breath.
Hopper nudges it with his foot and it remains still, "Yeah."
Something bangs against the door and we all turn back to face it. Everyone re-raises their weapons. The deadbolt unlocks and the chain comes undone.
The door creaks open and a person I thought I'd never see again walks through.
Eleven.
