You had been kidnapped by the Grabber and forced into his basement. There was another kid in there with you, but you couldn’t remember his name. It could have been Finney or something like that.

A few months ago, your boyfriend Vance Hopper had disappeared without a trace. You were worried sick about him and didn’t know what to do. There were rumours that he had been murdered by the Grabber but you didn’t want to believe them. Of course Vance wasn’t dead. He was the strongest kid in your entire school!

The sound of a phone ringing echoed in your ears. You looked over at the phone in the basement and picked it up, remaining cautious and quiet. “Hello?”

”Hey…it’s been a while dollface..” You were in shock. The voice speaking to you was none other than Vance himself. His voice was soft yet stern as always and you could almost feel his hot breath through the phone.

“V-Vance? Is that really you?” You whisper, tears forming in your eyes.

”Yeah…please don’t cry, doll. We don’t have enough time. I want you to listen to me. Carefully…so that you don’t end up like I did. Gone.”
