Theo’s not surprised that no one has come in; it’s raining. He knows barely anyone comes to the fair when it’s raining.
“You’re that medium who can talk to dead people right?”
“Yeah I-“ Theo scowls as the guy slinks into the shop; he has a hood pulled up and Theo can feel guilt pouring off of him. He’s not damp despite the rain.
“Who do you need to-“
“A friend. Can you reach her?” He fidgets with his rings and Theo taps his fingers on the table.
“Of course I need an item of hers.”
“Here.” Theo watches him place a small bag on the table. Theo carefully opens it; there’s a scrunchie and a necklace.
The guy looks physically sick and shuffles his hands forward as if to touch the necklace.
“Hands off.” Theo sighs and rolls his eyes as the guy jumps a little, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
“Why am I contacting….” He waits for her to say his name and Theo sighs.
“Her name; or whatever you called her; so she can-”
“Chrissy Cunningham; to prove I didn’t kill her.” He sits across from Theo as if he didn’t jus reveal he’s been accused of murder.
“Where are you from; your name?”
“From Hawkins Indiana?” Theo watches how he shrinks himself.
“Lot of fucked up shit happening there.” Theo ignores the fact he didn’t say his name. He knows Robin and Moth had been concerned about something going on in Hawkins; but not enough to make a proper trip there. Maybe this guy will be the tipping point.
“Yeah everyone thinks I’m the freak that did it; that I’m a satanist!” He sounds physically pained about that.
“And why did you find me instead of fleeing the country?”
“To prove it; no one else thinks I didn’t…”
“Okay just give me a-“ Theo puts his hand on the guys shoulder.
“Eddie; thank you.” Eddie puts his hand over Theo and grins.
“Theo; who are you talking to?” Robin tilts his head and he looks back, the necklace the only thing on the table.
“A visitor.”
“Oh, are we going on a road trip?”
“Mhm, Indiana..”
“Hawkins finally? What tipped the scales then?”
“Another freak.” Robin laughs a little as Theo grins nodding to the car.
”We’re here to…” Theo’s uncomfortable; the guy in front of him is holding a bat and trash can lid both with nails through them, holding them in a threatening way towards both himself and Robin. Robin is smiling in the way he normally does; the assurance of his powers comforting him. Theo can see it flicker when a girl steps from behind the guy, he seems not to lower his weapons but she nudges his shoulder mumbling something Theo can’t hear. She’s young, her hair buzzed off and she smirks the tiniest bit.
“Bitchin’ what do you want?”
“We came because someone wanted us to solve Chrissy Cunningham’s murder…”
“Who could…”
“Eddie?” Robin offers and the girl nods slowly.
“Eddie Munson… that’s who brought you here? I’m Steve.” The guy interjects.
“Mhm; he said he needed help clearing his name; but none of you seem to think he’s guilty.” Theo pauses a little and Steve scowls.
“He’s not; the rest of the town can’t know. It was an earthquake to them; not a gate forming…”
“Alright; so he; well is he in jail or?”
“Eddie Munson is dead.”
“No he was.. I touched him; I can’t physically touch the dead.” Theo scowls and Steve frowns.
“He got killed by demo-bats.. these things..” Steve gestures to a quick scribble someone’s done on part of a math test.
“You have arc-hellions here?
” ‘Arc- what?”
“We call them Arc-hellions; they’re otherworldly creatures that…. Oh no..”
“They what Theo!” Steve almost snarls, weapons raised again and Robin pulls Theo back a little.
“They’re what make vampires.”
“Vampires??”
“Yeah which means Eddie’s not technically dead…”
“So they did have rabies.”
“What?”
“The bats; we fought them; earlier and-”
“Does that mean we’re going to…”
“Arc-hellion bites don’t turn you; you have to be somewhere with a lot of residual magic; and there’s usually a spell involved with…” Theo looks up to see the girl’s nose bleeding and before he can think of anything else he’s in a very different place; it reminds him slightly of something Sabrina showed him; but he can feel the dread forming in his stomach; this is so much worse.
“Alright; yeah that’ll do it. Fuck y’all have to fight that shit?”
“You’re in it too.” Steve nods and offers the shield out to Theo. He takes it; but silently hopes that he won’t have to use it.
“We’re just here to find Eddie; not to save Hawkins or become tangled up in whatever El and y’all are dealing with.” Theo assures; Steve and the other kids are smirking.
“What?”
“Babe; she never said her name.” Robin grins a little and Theo scowls.
“Fine okay, we’re helping.” Theo grumbles hand flexing on the shield.
