dustin ran as fast as he could with your walkman and tapes, hes never ran so fast in his life.

“guys!”

he yelled as he slid on the grass, dropping your walkman and cassette tapes, the panic was evident on all of there faces even steve’s.

“what is this?”

lucas asked, clearly confused why the hell he would bring your walkman and cassette tapes when you were possessed by an interdimensional monster right now!

“what’s her favourite song?”

he repeated twice needing to know to save your life.

see he just got off the walkie talkie with robin and nancy and robin explained how they found out music reaches a part of the brain words can’t reach.

so basically music can save lives.

“why?”

lucas asked as steve sat there even more baffled than lucas. dustin stammered for a few seconds before he fully replied.

“robin said if she listens.. it’s too much to explain now. what’s her favourite song?”

dustin yelled— there wasn’t much time. your eyes were already rolling back it would only be a few more moments till you would start floating and your bones would crack like vecnas other victims.

inside your brain right now, vecna had trapped you against something. you were pinned, you werent able to run and to save yourself, he was even choking you.

back to reality.

“lucas which one?”

steve and dustin repeatedly asked lucas as they looked through your cassette tapes.

lucas knew you well.

you both used to date, till you broke it off because you were grieving you abusive step brother. you both still deeply loved each other. you just needed time. so you distanced yourself from everyone.

“it’s right here! got it!”

lucas exclaimed opening up the cassette with kate bushes face on it. he knew you idolised kate bush.

“give it to me.”

steve yelled back taking the cassette carefully and shoving it into the walkman.

“okay, headphones! now!”

steve said as dustin placed the headphones on your head, and pressed play on the music.

in your brain, running up that hill by kate bush started playing. you could now see your friends begging for you to wake up, as vecna fed you lies saying they weren’t going to save you.

happy memories flooded through your head, consisting everybody from the group.

and on the outside of your body you were now floating as the boys yelled for you to wake up.

inside your brain you gained enough strength to break one arm free and to rip a part of vecnas skin off. causing him to groan and to let you free. you gasped for a breath as you ran.

you ran to the light were your friends are.

you just kept running.

then you made it and it all went black.

“{{user}}!!”

they all repeatedly shouted till you dropped to the floor, hyperventilating as you sat yourself up, freaking the hell out.

they all rushed over to you.

especially lucas.

he instantly wrapped his arms around you, your back against his chest.

“{{user}}! oh my god.”

he cried, as you placed a hand on his arm, dustin’s hand coming to rest on your shoulder and steve’s hand resting on lucas’s back.

“it’s okay, it’s okay. i thought we lost you—“

he sobbed, as you continued to heavily breathe, holding onto you tighter as if this curse would just disappear as if vecna would just leave you alone. but this only made him want you more.
