                       MAVIS LOOKS at Frazer as he rides beside her, He Brang his bike, and the rain continues to pour down as they ride down the Quiet and Gloomy street no cars to be seen, Mavis Blinks getting rid of the water in her eyes so she could see clearly,

"You didn't have to come with me" she says out of the blue making the boy look at her,

"Well I wanted to" He shrugged as they continued to Bike down the road, Mavis shook her head at him, and they continued to drive, where a Large hard to see figure walked into the middle of the road, Making Mavis slam on her brakes,

"What's that?" She asked above a whisper as Frazer looked where she was looking also seeing it, he squinted his eyes hoping to get a better look, but the Spike on it made his eyes widen,

"Stay with me" he whispers as They both hop off their bikes and Slowly move them to the side of the road, Frazer Sees the Person or monster move from off the road and into the woods never to be seen again,

"What was that" Mavis asked as She looked at Frazer who was shaking his head,

"Nothing let's get you home" he says as they both walk back to the road and begin to drive again, Mavis can't help but wonder what that thing was and why was it waiting for them.

━━━━━━━━━━━

"I can go by myself now," she says softly as she gets closer to her house Katie aligns to forget about what they saw, As soon as they see a car in the drive they hop off their bikes,

"Here" Mavis softly says as She pulls a note out from her Pocket and walks over to Frazer and Hands it to him, before walking off Bring her bike with her, Frazer smiles as he opens the Note,

━━you look cool today
F.H

━━Stop putting notes in my locker
          M.B

Frazer's Face turns into a frown as he scrunches it up and Drives away, Mavis smirks as she watches him drive away, she Parks her bike rushes behind the house and Climbs through her window, Carefully, As soon as she gets it she slips her shoes off and bag and Grabs her Baggy black shirt and some sleeping shorts,

"What happened to the phone" Mavis asked as she Grabs a cup and grabbed some water, before slowly drinking it,

"Nothing hunny, why is your hair wet?" Joyce asked as Mavis Thins her lips,

"I had a shower" Mavis grinned she was an expert at Lying,

"Ok hunny," Joyce says as Mavis nods before She walks down the hell stopping half away,

"Mom, can I speak to you" Joyce nods as she Walks to Mavis,

━━━━━━━━━━━

"What if We can't find Will" Mavis Whisper as She Cuddles up to her mother, who's rubbing her shoulder, "we will find him, I promise you"

"I miss him" she whispers As tears build up in her eyes, making her vision blurry,

"Me too" Joyce mutters as Jonathan walks into her room with a Small knock on the door,

"Hey, I got you some tea" he softly says as he walks in and places the cup of steaming hot tea on the nightstand, Before looking at his younger sister,

"Come here" he whispered as Mavis hugged him and sobbed into his shirt, "it's alright, let it out"

An hour goes by In The Byers's house, Quiet it is, which is wired because it has never been this quiet, Jonathan picks Mavis up and places her into her bed before Joyce Pulls the covers over the young girl whose face is stained red from crying,

"She looks so lonely without him" Joyce whispers as They watch Mavis slowly drift off into a deep sleep,

"Yeah I never seen her cry since she cut her knee open" Jonathan says as they walk out softly and shut the doors,

━━━━━━━━━━━

Mavis yawns as She sits up, Her jet black hair falls in front of her face as the sun shines brightly over everything in her room, The sound did a truck moving makes her frown before she yawns as she Stretches her joints crack as she does, She slides out of her bed her Feet touch the soft but Thin carpet, as she Pulls the covers off her, the cold air Quickly warps around her, as She stands up slowly taking steps, Before walking to the door and opening it,

The smell of eggs makes Mavis frown as she walks down the hallway Scratching her arm,

"Morning hunny," Joyce says as She sits at the table Keeping quiet, "morning" she whispers

"Here, some breakfast" Jonathan says as he hands a plate to Mavis who's looking at it, before grabbing her fork and pushing it around,

"Not hungry" she whispers as she stands up and walks away from the table and into the bathroom, Her mother and brother's eyes follow her as she shuts the door before looking at each other,

"Hunny? You ok?" Joyce asked as She knocked on the door, Making the young girl Look at the door, her toothbrush hanging out of her mouth as she walked to the door and opened it,

"Hmm" she hums as she continues to brush her teeth, Joyce looks at her, "Do you want the day off?" Mavis looks at her mother as she softly nods Joyce nods as she walks out shutting the door,

"I gotta go to the school, and tell them that she won't be going in" Joyce mutters before she can even get to the door someone knocks on it, Making Mavis peak out of the bathroom door hoping to see who it is, Joyce opens the door revoking a man in a police officer uniform,

"We've been waiting for six hours" Joyce says as Mavis walks out toothbrush still hanging from her mouth,

"I know, I came as soon as I could," Hopper says as Mavis Thins her lips before rushing back into the bathroom and spitting out the toothpaste before grabbing the light orange small cup and filling it with water before drinking and spitting out, she looks in the mirror frowning, the sound of her mother and Hopper talking could be heard, Mavis looks away from the mirror and walks out,

"Shouldn't you be at school?" Hopper asked looking at Joyce,

"She's sick I was just about to go to the school and tell them" Joyce says as She looks at Mavis Who's Blinking, "I'll radio Dustin" she whispers as She walks to her room and shuts the door,

"How is she doing about him" Hopper asked Before Mavis grabbed her radio and switched it on,

"Hello? Dustin? If you can hear me I'm not in school, just let Mr Clark know that I won't be in, over" Mavis places the radio down as She runs her fingers through her hair with a sigh,

"Now, uh, you're sure it was well?" Hopper asked as Mavis's Eyes widened at the name, she slowly opened her door gently so she could get a better sound,

"Because Flo said you just heard breathing," Hopper asked as Mavis Softly gasped,

"no. It was him, it was well" Joyce says her voice breaking "and he was scared and then something—"

"It was probably a prank call. It was somebody trying to scare you hopper says as Mavis slowly walks outside keeping hold of her breath,

"Who would do that?" Jonathan asked as Mavis Peaks around the corner softly,

"Well, this thing has been on the TV, it brings out all the crazies you know, False leads, prank calls, uh.."

"No hopper, it wasn't a prank. It was him" Joyce explains as Mavis's Eyes widen at the words,

"You spoke to Will?" She asked maligning the three to jump and look at her

"Mavis... hunny" Joyce says as Mavis shakes her head and rushes back into her room slamming the door, She Bangs her head against the door as she Squeezes her hands, A burning sensation lingers in her hand the light flickers in her room as She Continues to bang her head,

"Hunny? Come on don't hurt yourself self" Joyce says from the other side of the door, the lights flicker as Mavis ignores her mother's pleads

"Why didn't you tell me about Will" Mavis asked Voice breaking, She released her hands making the lights stop she looked up Blinking wondering what happened,

"I'm sorry hunny, we should have, it was all so soon, and you fell asleep" Joyce whispered as Mavis stood sobbing at first before catching her balance, and slowly opening the door seeing her mother looking at her, with a Sad smile,

"I'm going to school" She whispers as she Walks into her room and Grabs some Clothes,

"Want me to drive you?" Joyce asked making Mavis look up at her mother,

"No.. stay here I case will come back, I'll go on my bike" Mavis whispers as she pulls her shirt off after hiding behind the door, grabs the baggy Pizza shirt and Slips it on, before grabbing her Dark blue mums jeans and Pulls them up, and Grabs a bobble off her nightstand and Pulls her hair up into a bun and pulls to stands out at the front, before Walking around her bad and grabs her shoes and slips them on, before Walking out of her room,

Mavis parks her bike up, and rushes into the school, as fast as her feet can take her, she Rushes down the hallway before Rushing into a room where everyone is looking at her,
