It took some time, but Sophia eventually learned how to style her hair in a way that allowed her to look presentable and still keep her ponytail. With lots of practice, she was able to make her ponytail look neat and tidy, even through the windy days. Throughout the months, her mother give Sophia regular inspections of her hair. She would carefully examine it, making sure that it was properly styled and that it was healthy. Sophia, however, felt this was too much, that she was being awkward and embarrassed. No matter how many times her mother told her that it was for her own good, she still felt resentful. As the months passed, Sophia began to realize that her thick, black hair was actually quite beautiful. She started to appreciate its texture and shine, and she even grew to love the way it felt when its swing on her back. She had grown comfortable in her ponytail, and she even learned to style it in different ways for different occasions.

Nancy Wheeler has seen her daddy angry before but this was on a new level. He wasn’t throwing stuff around or yelling loudly even. Just pure seething rage bubbling underneath a facade of control. “There is one thing I just hate in this life, could you idiots guess it…. No well lemme tell you.” Henry Creel sneered grabbing a hold of Nancy’s ear. She cried out in pain as he slowly pulled on it. “Daddy please…I can explain.” “You told me they knew nothing…but here they are what explanation? Like the one about you lying to me. He turned to address the others as well. “She could tell you too that I hate trespassers the most of all but please stay seated till we have an understanding. And how many times do I have to teach you the same thing.” Henry yelled out, sending shivers down the others as well. “ANSWER ME!!” he back handedly slapped Nancy when she stayed quiet. The force of the slap threw her to the ground, Nancy held her stinging face trying to say something in fear. “I-I-I ca-ca-can…” rest of her words getting lost in her cries. Henry forcefully grabbed her chin to halt her stuttering “Stop yammering and give me a straight answer.” “I am sorry.” Nancy just sobbed out. “You dare come home with them and not even bring them to me.” he pulled Nancy by her arm to drag her to the centre of the room. There was a lone chair in the middle, where he took a seat making sure Nancy was laid on his lap. “Remember what I always say, naughty girls gets punished. Well this time I am taking it upon myself to fully instill it personally.” Henry growled. When he removed her belt, the implication immediately riled up the tied up teens even more trying to free themselves from their bindings. Heather Holloway gotten a hold of Chrissy Cunningham’s hand and even Billy Hargrove’s shirt to lead them out the dining room, knowing whats about to happen would be triggering for them. “I think you need atleast fifty hits what you say pet.” Henry said as he slowly caressed Nancy’s back with the belt making her shiver in fear “I need a verbal confirmation or your friends will experience my delicate vines first hand.” hearing his threat Nancy immediately yelled out to keep her friends safe from any harm. “No I deserve it Daddy.” “Why do you deserve it my little one be specific?” Henry authoritatively asked. “Didn’t come home…..like a naughty girl.” Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley witnessing the horrific scene were reminded of all the times, Nancy nearly had an anxiety attack just thinking about disobeying. They always just assumed Nancy was over exaggerating a bit like a kid would do but never imagined physical abuse. Unlike them Eddie Munson was use to a very abusive father, it broke his heart seeing Nancy go through that. Finally getting the gag off her mouth Robin yelled out. “Nancy wanted to come to you, we didn’t let her please don’t hit her.” Robin’s sudden confession stopped Henry “Is that true, they didn’t let you come to me.” Nancy fervently nodded her head, agreeing with the truth. “No lies, I don’t lie to Daddy.” He clicked his fingers for Cerberus to come running into the dining room. When he stopped in its tracks Henry touched its forehead to get its testimony. “Tell me mutt is she telling the truth?” The demodog let out series of roars meaning of if it were unknown to the rest. But this seemed to kill some of the fire in Henry’s eyes. “I see apparently you did tell them few times, and even considered riding him here. Daw isn’t that sweet, almost makes me wanna spare you from this. But almost isn’t good enough….what am I gonna do with my still naive little one. This is still not saving you from your spanking so how about just ten only and you count them.” Steve got his gag of his mouth to yell. “She didn’t do anything wrong why still spank her?” His eyes darkened hearing his arrogance. “You incompetent fool can’t even look after her, so I suggest you take some pointers from me.” he yelled addressing the tied up teen. “She needs to understand actions still have consequences which was your fault too so watching it is part of your many tortures tonight.” “You don’t care about her.” Steve growled in anger; in anger of the inescapable situation they were in; in anger of knowing this monster is the reason for all the tragedies they endured and worst of all in anger of Vecna claiming he was a caring father when he is about to beat up Nancy. His outburst did had the vines tighten around his body cutting out his air supply. “Daddy stop please…Its my fault.” Nancy begged seeing Steve’s face going alarmingly red. Henry roughly gotten a hold of her chin, to forcefully make her look into his eyes. “Are you protecting him?!” “Not..worth….your…effort.” Nancy said the angle making her gasp for air. After a brief staring contest Henry let out a breathy laugh, loosening the vines. “You are right, he isn’t actually. Sometimes I overthink these, see thats why I need you.” “Also what did I tell you about pants you are too young for them.” He continued to berate her further, adjusting her on his lap after removing her pants and diaper leaving her bare bottom. Then without any warning Henry brought down his hand to spank her. “One.” she squeaked out in surprise. “Good but you need to be louder baby.” Henry said continuing his spanking. “Two.” Nancy yelled loudly. Unlike Karen’s, his hits were much more painful and relentless. Making Nancy lose her pain tolerance even faster. By the time she said seven, she was in tears again barely keeping up with the pace. The others helplessly watched as Nancy brutally get smacked by Vecna. “Seven..no eight.” She fumbled suddenly when Henry hit her again. “Baby you repeated a number, you know that means.” Henry said in a sing song tone. “ONE….start over” she yelled out as he hit again, cannot believing she has to go through that again. By the time she came to number eight, she again slipped up to instead repeat seven. “Oh I think you repeated the same number, we have to redo this. Good thing that I didn’t want to do thirty if you can’t even go beyond seven.” Henry said in a disappointed tone. “Not again…not again.” Nancy pleaded, drool running down her chin as she coughed between her sobs. “Sorry but rules are rules, lets start from number one again.” Henry started his hard spanks again much quicker then last time to ensure she would skip a number. After Nancy started repeating the sequence again, she no longer just yelled the numbers out she was screaming them. “Baby you are really fumbling your numbers today, do we need to work on them? Lets start from one again, this time remember eight comes after seven.” Henry fake pouted, internally knowing he is making her repeat them. He raised his hand to bring it down on her now red raw bottom again. “ONE..!” “You remember this when you think about disobeying me again.” Henry said as he spanked. “TWO…yes no more.” “Tell me little one who do you belong to?” “THREE…You!” “Again just for my own amusement.” he pushed bringing down his hand to smack harder. “FOUR…..You only you.” She chocked out her voice feeling sore from all the yelling.   Finally Henry let her finish this session by letting her go beyond seven. "Te- te- ten-" she sobbed finishing after her fourth try, flopping like boneless sack. Her back was littered with red and purple bruises with some bleeding out. Her crying had became even more erratic when Henry started rubbing on them. “I want you to know this is hurting me more then you, do you think I enjoy seeing you like this?” Henry said “I asked you a question answer me?” he yelled spanking her one last time when she couldn’t get any words out from crying. The sudden pain again had Nancy stammering out. “Yo-Yo-You don’t.” He lifted her up to cradle her in his lap, making shushing noises till her sobs subsided. “There there its over now.” Henry took out a napkin to clean the drool, and snot of her face. Nancy let out another wail, just crying out till she had no more tears left. “Are you all better now?” Henry asked after a while once her hiccups turned silent. “Yes daddy.” Nancy mumbled emotionlessly her thumb going into her mouth reflexively to suck on to soothe herself. “My poor baby, because of them I gotta punish you constantly.” Henry contemplated giving the teens the side eye. “Why hurt?” Nancy questioned for once, thinking what Max told her last night her voice sounding very hoarse from all the screaming. Henry harshly gotten hold her face to look directly into her eyes, making her feel tinier then she already was. “Who is putting such ideas into your tiny head?” Henry sneered at the implications. “No one.” Nancy shook her head not wanting to also put Max in trouble. Henry let out a deep breath, 360 degrees opposite of his attitude before he hugged her closer to his chest. “I do this because I love you very much. You wouldn’t learn otherwise, now you know what not to do.” He sweetly cooed into her ear, kissing her curls making her associate his punishment as part of his loving persona. His plan working as Nancy tried to desperately hold on to his words for comfort to offset the pain radiating of her bottom. Even worse was the sudden urge to pee she’s gotten. Without a diaper, it was a ticking time bomb of her wetting on him which would end with her being punished worse then before. “Why are you squirming around, does your bottom sting that badly? Use your big voice.” Henry asked innocently acting like he doesn’t know what she needs. Nancy continued to squirm more on his lap, her cheeks blushing feeling embarrassed about the situation. “Uhm need to go potty.” “Baby I am so sorry, unfortunately I don’t want to waist a diaper immediately let me bring you something else. Just wait here a bit okay.” “No no go.” Nancy pulled on his arms as he tried to get up. Henry was about to yell at her but then he realized she currently has nothing other then a shirt on. “You don’t want the naughty boys to see you naked. Thats on me just hold on I got a solution.” he said clicking his fingers. Vines wrapped around Eddie and Steve’s eyes, only leaving Robin to witness. “Now wait here and don’t have an accident.” Henry warned as he left the dining room. Nancy could not even open her eyes in shame and pain, she just hugged her knees to her chest avoiding eye contact with Robin. Even with the sudden silence Robin’s ears were still ringing with Nancy’s constant wails. She just wanted to comfort the still distressed teen, even with the mouth gag, she tried to communicate that it was going be okay. Unfortunately her mumblings were mostly incoherent affirmations but it got Nancy to look into her eyes. Robin could see the tears streaming down Nancy’s cheeks wanting nothing more to just wipe them but instead she could only project its okay wordlessly. Nancy seeing Robin”s efforts tried to give her a smile, but soon after her face scrunched in pain again. After that Henry came back to the room, with an oversized plastic potty to Nancy’s horror, which he placed it next to chair. “I was gonna wait for your potty training to use this but I guess its good time as any.” Henry said picking Nancy up to be seated on the hollow plastic. “Here use this before I change you into new clothes and a diaper.” Nancy looked petrified sitting on the potty, diapers were one thing but this was having no privacy at all. She didn’t want Robin to see her like this, even though Robin is always so understanding. After some time Henry walked closer to her, she now was holding on to the handle on the front of the potty tightly in fear. “Go on I am not waiting all day, you know what I can do if you can’t.” Henry implied by holding on to the top of her head, as a reminder of all the times he was able control her continence. Realizing his implications Nancy screwed up her face harder, trying to override her natural reflexes to let it go. Once she heard the first pee splash on the plastic, the rest of the stream steadily follow suit. “You done” Henry asked condescendingly once the noise stoped, she nodded her head silently as a simple answer. “Good if you keep this up later you be graduating to pull-ups in less then a year.” He continued. “It was going to be a suprise but what the hell. You did such a good job taking your punishment you can be indulged a bit.” “Now will you let Daddy take care of you.” Henry asked already laying her down on the ground. “Yes Daddy.” Nancy said her spirit broken from everything he has done. Once he taped her into a new big puffy diaper, Henry brought out the special dress he had for her. It looked like an oversized princess Halloween dress for a toddler. He put her the short pink dress, its puffy skirt was barely hiding the fact she was wearing a big diaper. He then slipped on the high knee socks and the mittens, as the final touches in her look. Once Henry was satisfied with the outfit, he let out a satisfied hum. “You look like a ballerina like you use to be, once you grow up a bit you can show some twirls too.” Nancy looked like she was on the verge of another breakdown, her cheeks blushing profusely. Feeling embarrassed that her friends are seeing her in this outfit. “Don’t cry I even got you a lovely pink collar to match the new pink dress.” Henry cooed taking out the new accessory. “Col-Col-Collar?” Nancy asked confused at the situation. “Well you’ve been getting lost too much lately so i found a way to keep you safe.” “N-No-No i don’t wanna!” Nancy shook her head trying crawl away from him. “Don’t be like that little one, a daddy’s girl wouldn’t wanna disappoint me.” He smirked trying out his newly engraved trigger word from yesterday which would make her submissive without needing constant formula reinforcement. “No-No you can’t…” Nancy wanted to say before blinking rapidly trying to remember what she actually wanted to say. She suddenly had the need to obey to his demand. “N-N-Never daddy I need it.” she subserviently bowed down her head. Henry was glad seeing the results were swift putting the collar around her neck. Nancy shook her head a bit trying to adjust to the new feeling of leather. He didn’t tighten it too much, just enough to be a constant reminder for her to remember her place. “So you know what it says on the tag?” “My name?” “Yes look I engraved it myself, also added daddy’s girl behind it so they know who to bring it to.” Hearing the word again made her mind feeling foggier making everything seem normal. She suddenly felt bubblier and less sad then before, seeing him alone made her smile again. “Always with me.” Nancy said hopefully not wanting to be away from him. “Ofcourse, I feel like you been forgetting how much I care with these walking raging hormones around.” Henry gestured towards the tied up teens, who were looking at them with shock and fear. “Don’t deserve you.” she shook her head feeling remorseful for disobeying today, not even thinking about her friends only him. Henry seeing the full effects of his experiment smiled widely. “Baby don’t say that I am exactly what you deserve, you just need a very delicate touch. I want them to see the real you now baby and in turn I am helping you see their true nature. You don’t wanna hide it, dont you think they should still accept you like this. “Tell me in big words.” Henry smirked seeing Nancy nodding her head eagerly. “Big baby that needs her daddy.” Nancy earnestly chanted scaring the teens with how quickly he made her compliant. “You do? Show me how much you miss me?” Nancy widely opened her arms to show. “This much….I said Daddy keep safe.” “This is why I am telling they are very bad influence on you. Glad to see your little punishment set you straight again.” He said cupping her cheek. Nancy nuzzled against his hand closing her eyes trying to find comfort from the excruciating pain thats at the back of her mind still. She opened her eyes when she heard the sound of a distinct click behind her. Opening them she saw daddy had attached a leash to the collar. “You like it? Who am I kidding ofcourse you do, lets test it out shall we.” Nancy couldn’t even protest before she felt a yank on her throat, forcing her to crawl behind him to avoid being choked. “See you are a natural now I will not lose my baby.” Henry boasted, Nancy stopped behind him and hugged his knees. “Well aren’t you adorable do they think about your wellbeing as much as I do, look how you were lost yesterday and got beat up. I am just trying to keep you safe.” “Daddy knows best.” “Don’t I always so today you are not allowed to crawl around if no one is holding your leash understood. You need to learn not to wonder out without a responsible adult.” “Follow like good girl!” Nancy chanted. Satisfied Henry turned around to summon his servants back again. Pointing at Billy he ordered. “Now back to business Billy deal with these pests till I decide what to do with their feeble selfs and take her with you she can be your little helper a bit I got work to do.” Henry turned around to address Nancy again. “Right my mini Creel, you gonna be a big girl and assist with torturing again.” He gave the leash to Billy saying. “She was such a eager beaver last time, so I expect the same again.” Hearing the muffled screams again had Henry looking at the teens. “Ohh you don’t know she is a prodigy, haven’t you wondered why those jocks are in a coma.” Henry smiled like a shark, enjoying seeing their shocked faces. “Pop quiz little one, what protects the body’s vital organs.” Henry said. “Uhmmm skin and bones.” Nancy thought out loud. “Correct, hypothetically what is a way to aggregate a wound’s pain even more.” “Salt!” Nancy confidently confirmed. “Correct yet again, aren’t you a teacher’s pet.” Henry boasted showing off his influence on her. “Whats your favorite torture method from last time?” He sinisterly asked finally wanting the idiots to know this version of Nancy wasn’t afraid to get her hands dirty. “Hooks in skin!” Nancy smiled eagerly remembering last night fondly unlike what actually felt like. “Flashy stuff of course the youth these days what you gonna do.” He rolled his eyes, putting her on the ground to leave the house. As he fixed his attire, Heather timidly approached him. “Master if we may be permitted too make a request, can be we be allowed to play with her?” Chrissy was sitting on Robin’s lap taunting her by slowly rubbing herself. The taller teen’s face was red as a tomato, alarmingly getting worse. Henry seeing the potential in their torment techniques smirked feeling generous for the day. “Fine you can take her, you been doing an good job around lately.” “Thank you master.” They simultaneously chanted to Robin’s horror. “Look Buckley you getting two girls, isn’t this like one of your dyke dreams?” Heather said. “Haven’t you imagined me with you Robin, a cheerleader and band geek having a scandalous secret affair. Chrissy giggled playing up their act. “Lets move to somewhere with less aggression just us girls.” Heather said as she took a hold of the chair to carry upstairs with Chrissy. “Come princess lets have fun ourselves.” Billy wrapped the leash around his hand and easily lifted the other chairs with his arms to upstairs. Nancy slowly crawled behind him, luckily he kept a slow pace so the leash didn’t pull on her throat the whole time. “Alright princess, welcome to my humble a-boat.” Billy smirked hearing the boys struggling, placing them in the middle of the room. When Nancy tried to sit directly on the floor, she let out loud yelp, and involuntarily started to cry out remembering her pain again. Billy wordlessly grabbed a large cushion for her to lay sideways, he looked conflicted at what he can do. Unfortunately he knew from personal experience how doing nothing was not going to help with her emotional distress. So in a moment of kindness, he held her hand till her crying session was over, wiping her cheeks dry. “Thank you.” Nancy whispered keeping his scary persona intact for the boys. “You aren’t so bad to care for I guess.” Billy grumbled acting seriously. “Okay so what I like to do is to punch their weak points which is the face and the stomach or other body parts that bit to advanced for you.” he gave a little crash course enjoying making the boys watch him teaching their little friend his violent methods. “Face and stomach got it.” Nancy nodded seriously. However the eager Nancy went away the moment Billy punched Steve, she shielded her eyes with her hands. The fog finally cleared up in her mind, realizing she needs to get them out of here. She tried to come up with a quick plan to save them from Billy’s wrath. “Billy…Billy i got an idea too” she yelled out. “My punching bag method is good enough, I don’t need more ideas.” “Pleaseee!!!” She whined annoyingly, kicking her legs in frustration. “Fine tell me then if it will stop your whining.” “Play with me.” “What?” “Billy shows he better.” “I guess he can see how much of a better job I can do which will hurt him more.” Billy thought out loudly, he walked over towards a night stand to grab a hairbrush and some hair ties. Coming back he sat down in-front of Steve crisscross style. Billy grabbed the leash to signal Nancy to crawl next to him, once she was close he lifted her of the ground so she can sit in the hollow of his crossed legs, avoiding any flare up to her injuries. Billy started brush her hair gently, thanks to his own routine he knows how to handle a permed hair. “Lets put your hair into pigtails I guess thats what twerp had occasionally. Nancy hadn’t considered that option before but she always liked trying out new styles. “Sounds nice.” Billy quietly sectioned her curls to put them in pig tails when he was done, brought a mirror to show off his skills. “Thank you Billy.” Nancy said turning around to genuinely hug him. Felt nice to have someone do something actually nice for her after her daddy’s punishment. “Look at that Harrington she prefers me as her big brother right princess?” Billy smirked hearing Steve’s screams “Yes give me a little kiss too” he pushed for his own amusement. Nancy gave him a quick peck on the cheek, prompting even more angry muffles from the teen. “Stop lying her!” Steve yelled out spitting out the gag. “Are you sad? King Steve lost his princess twice now. This time it’s definitely the superior option.” Billy mocked him. “Nance don’t listen him, he is a very evil person.” Steve shouted at her without meaning to. “He yelling at me again.” Nancy said fake whimpering. “Again?” Billy asked excitedly. “Yelled at me yesterday.” Nancy pouted, hiding her face in his chest. “He did my god, Harrington you been very naughty lately. Finally the King Steve I heard so much about too bad I gotta beat the crap out of you.” said Billy. “You are a heartless bully, that nearly killed the kids more then once. Don’t act like you are a saint now.” Steve sneered. “Hmm I don’t know what you think princess?” Billy playfully questioned. “Billy nicer.” “Oh this reminds me, I been a bad host lemme get you big boys a drink.” Remembering the prop he had gotten ready for them. Nancy pulled on his shirt to mime a drinking gesture as well. “You are also thirsty too lemme grab something and dont you dare follow me I will know.” He warned as he tied leash to the bed post. “Stay here understood” Billy pointed at her authoritatively but Nancy playfully just bit on his pointing finger. Billy closed his eyes to countdown to ten to avoid doing anything he will regret. “I will not lose my temper” Steve while longingly watched the duo, he felt Eddie’s curls tickling his shoulder. “Hey Steve, you with me?” Eddie asked. “I thought you passed out.” Steve whispered back. “Nahh man I was strategically pretending to be passed out so I would be hit less. You okay you got intense there for a moment.” “I thought me and Nance were good but she still resents me, look she prefers Hargrove.” Eddie scoffed a bit. “Thats not true, when you were dragged down she was the one yelling behind your back and jumped in first.” he continued after adjusting himself to sit more upright. “Before that when you took a while to come up she begged me to go after her bubba because she couldn’t bear you being gone. The girl who who couldn’t talk all day talked because she wanted you safe. Thats unambiguous sign of true love if I ever seen one so don’t believe what douchebag says. You seen how it tore her inside to see you be punched. Why you think she asked for him to play, to keep you not be beat up.” Steve couldn’t believe his ears after Eddie’s eloquent remarks. He wished he could have looked into his big brown eyes when he confessed to this. “I am sorry, I punched you last night you were right. I didn’t really thought how you and her bonded. In reality, I was bit jealous she chose you over me.” “Stevie boy don’t go mushy on me now, I need the bat wielding version of you. But you have a single child syndrome, should learn to share more with others.” Eddie deflected the sincerity a bit. “You think she likes him more?” Steve still asked in a moment of lack of confidence. “Look after Vecna beat her up, he said something that switched something in her. I can tell her eyes seem foggier, making her obedient to his whims like genuine naive kid and when Billy hit you her eyes regained color again. Don’t you see as much as he tries to make her complacent you, Robin and the kids bring her back. She definitely is pretending, I know an act when I see one.” Eddie tried to reassure him. Steve threw his head a little trying to be in Eddie’s eye sight. “You are wrong. You also are the reason she comes back, I know Nance and she doesn’t get attached to easy.” “Then we found a way out of here as soon a possible for all of sakes.” Eddie tried to comfort him. “Let go of my finger now!” Billy gritted through his teeth. “I didn’t bit hard” Nancy let go thinking she bought some more time. Eddie smiled a bit seeing Nancy trying to undo the knot clumsily as soon as Billy left. “Told ya big boy” Nancy climbed on to Steve’s lap to touch his face gently as she could. “Bubba bubba are you okay?” she asked hurriedly in a hushed voice. “I am okay honey, my head got hit worse. More importantly are you okay, he hit you very hard.” Steve asked instinctively trying to hug her but his tied up arms inhibited him. “But you have more bad boo-boos.” Nancy sadly looked at him gently touching his bruised face. “It doesn’t matter, I got hit worse.” “Buba i am sorry…Nancy loves bubba Stevie the most.” she broke down finally. “Nance hey its okay, I know it was an act because you are one smart cookie.” “No I hurt you too.” “Oh you mean last night. You didn’t do quarter of a damage Jonathan did in that alley. You just lost control just like me.” “You not angry.” “I love you honey, and I am sorry too I reacted very badly yesterday, should have listened to you and Eddie.” “Ohh no Etrigan you okay?” Nancy looked behind him to check on Eddie. “Yeah this aint my first rodeo sweet Lois, also don’t worry he isn’t making us think any less of you with what he has done.” Eddie reassured her. “Don’t think its funny.” Nancy looked down feeling embarrassed. “Never going to show you my buzzed head pictures one day those are hilarious.” Eddie said. “You joking?” Even Steve finding that fascinating. “Not one bit Stevo, young Eddie had some bad haircut phases.” “You see sweetie, we don’t think any less of you like we don’t undermine him knowing his hairless metalhead years.” Steve encouragingly said. “Silly Bubba, Eddy has a copper head” Nancy lightheartedly said. “Look she thinks being a metalhead is a literal thing what can I do about it. All you guys have are Madonna and ABBA.” Eddie defended their in joke feeling Steve adorable confused face even from the behind. “Check on Robbie for me honey, we gonna be fine alone.” Steve asked of Nancy, not knowing where his best friend was hurting worse then his face. He could see the metaphorical wheels in Nancy’s head were turning. “Go back okay before he catches you, I promise when we get out I will keep you safe from the evil wizard.” Steve touched their foreheads as the closest thing to hugging. Nancy gave him a bitter smile knowing he really can’t but the sentiment was enough. “Love you both.” she said before crawling back. “It’s number two knot like I showed you.” Eddie helped from afar, when he realized she tried to retie the knot. Nancy quickly retied it like Eddie has taught her. “You did great job Wheels.” Eddie still cheered her own regardless of his own imprisonment. Nancy felt terrible for thinking they weren’t good enough again while with her daddy. Why is she having these mood swings all of a sudden she thought to herself. But her concentration was easily misdirected when Billy reentered the room. She put her thumb in her mouth to seem busy to not arose suspicion. Billy lowered himself to hand her the sippy cup, replacing her thumb with it helping her drink from it a bit. “Here you go some water for you, and a bucket of ice water for them, see I can be accommodating. Since we done your thing, its my turn to continue with my methods.” “Okay Billy, I watch.” Nancy nodded her head as she clumsily held the plastic bottle. “Aren’t you cooperative now good you gonna watch a professional in action.” Billy patted her head. “Ohh thats gotta be cold right, wake up Freak don’t want you to feel left out.” Billy said as he dumped the ice water on them. The freezing cold got both boys more alert and feel even more numb from the cold. Whilst they weren’t looking Nancy poured the remaining water into her diaper. She tried to keep her squeal silent as possible when she dumped the cold water. “Uhmmm Billy I am wet, can you change?” Nancy piped up after a while to sound realistic. Billy let out a groan but was glad to have an excuse to get rid of her. “Really fine atleast i don’t have to censor myself now. So how about I will take you to Heather and Chrissy for change, then you can nap in your crib.” “Billy has best ideas!” she cheered happily clapping for effect. “You hear that Harrington, I got the best one ideas too.” Billy gloated as he picked up Nancy to leave the room. Steve growled as best as he can behind him, but Eddie beat him to the punch to say what he was thinking. “Man what a weirdo but atleast Nancy could easily exploit his weird obsession.” “Lets just hope Robin is doing better then us.” Steve spit up blood hoping this nightmare be over soon. Robin was currently being held down by the two girls as they tried to tie her up. Cerberus was keeping guard near the doorway incase she made a run for it. Chrissy whispered in Robin’s ear trying to calm her down “Don’t fight, it will get worse please we won’t hurt you.” however Robin didn’t listen to her instead kicking her leg to make a run for it. “Awoie thats not nice” Chrissy yelped in pain which got Cerberus to snarl at Robin threateningly forcing her sit back down in fear. “Get that rabbie infested away from me.” She squealed. “Stand down Cerb I am okay.” Chrissy said bending down to pet the demodog. Heather seeing her being hit got furious grabbing Robin’s hair in anger pulling it down. “Hey don’t you dare hurt her Buckley, she is actually the nice one unlike me” “Oh what you been doing huh torturing poor Nance here and you asking me to be nice.” Robin gritted through her teeth as Heather pulled on her hair. “You bitch we been looking after her to make her feel comfortable and we just saved your sorry ass from Billy, so you are welcome” Heather said exasperatedly, letting go of the hair. “Stop fighting. We all care about her.” Chrissy tried to diffuse the tension. “You expect me to believe Holloway ‘Calling me dyke” here is being nice. Even on a good day, she was a major bitch at school.” Robin scoffed. “I resent that accusation, I prefer socially picky person.” Heather shrugged off Robin’s accusations. Chrissy putting her hand on the her hips, defended her friend. “Yes she has been very caring, and stop acting like you are better then us you didn’t even talk to Nancy till few days ago.” “Big whoops just for less then a hour I assume, I been looking after her day and night none stop.” “Hey I am on your side, why do you make out like you are more special.” Chrissy stomped her foot in frustration. Heather seeing Chrissy disheveled state over this couldn’t help but snicker a bit. “You broke Cunningham hope you are happy Buckley. Come on Chriss band geek isn’t worth it.” “She calls our bond trivial, can you believe that. I have you know Robin, she sees me as her best friend.” Chrissy huffed in anger. “I am her big sister.” Robin argued back. “You know I am excited to see where this leads too.” Heather said enjoying the show. However a sudden knock broke her out of her thoughts. “Ohh Heather someone here needs a change.” Billy grumbled from outside. “Great timing go on Chriss, you take her and I make she sure she doesn’t try to jailbreak.” Heather suggested, Chrissy happily obliging to open the door to greet them. “Hey cutie, did someone have an accident while keeping an eye on the big bad Billy.” she coed at Nancy. “You being too cheeky now Cunningham, but I got some fun to get to actually retaliate. She drank some water so just make sure she gets to have a nap time in the crib after the change.” Billy all but threw Nancy into the arms of the cheerleader. “Under all that muscle you do have a tiny heart , look at her hair I doubt she had those adorable pigtails before you.” Chrissy smiled, as she adjusted Nancy in her arms. “Don’t push it! It was part of our torture act if you must know.” Billy said seriously. Contrasting his tone, Nancy happily chirped. “Yeah me and Billy played.” “Uuu such a scary act, I can see those pigtails being very dangerous.” Chrissy teased brushing her nose against Nancy’s, making her giggle. “Don’t encourage the cheerleader princess, she already is too mouthy for her own good.” “Chrissy stop antagonizing him, you know he grumpy he gets.” Heather warned from behind. “Hey Heather, enjoying yourself with the band geek.” Billy smirked seeing Heather holding Robin down forcefully. “Not as much as you are with Harrington, don’t forget to use protection.” Heather bit back easily. “Fuck off.” He yelled as turned back to leave. “Love you to Billy.” Heather laughed enjoying pissing him off. “Love you Billy!” Nancy parroted it in a sincere tone instead which had Billy momentarily frozen in place before angrily walking back to his room. “You are very sneaky aren’t you making him blush like that.” Chrissy said. “He needs nice.” “Aren’t you are a sweetheart, I think you are very right that people, who ever they are need to hear kind words.” Taking this as a cue, Nancy wrapped her arms around Chrissy’s neck to hug her tightly. “Miss you Auntie Chrissy.” “Miss you to cutie.” Chrissy smiled. “Sissy!!” Nancy yelled happily seeing her. “Her and Aunty Heather playing?” she asked. Not understanding what she meant Chrissy turned around to see Heather trying to hold off Robin who threw herself to ground. “More like wrestling seems like it.” “Me and Mikey did for cookies.” Chrissy laughed at her innocence “This is something like that but not for a cookies.” “Nance sweetie come to big sis.” Robin yelled as Heather forced her on to the chair to tie up her torso. “No come to me Wheels I got your teether.” Heather bribed once she successfully handled Robin. “What are they doing?” Nancy asked confused. “A female version of a groin measuring contest don’t pay attention.” Chrissy shrugged walking towards the makeshift change area. “Can i still have teddy?” Nancy asked as she was laid down. “Teddy?” “The green bear.” Nancy clarified. “Ohh thats its the name awe that is cute… Heather throw that thing to me.” Chrissy asked the other teen, who expertly threw back. She gave it to Nancy to happily start chew on its head. Chrissy’s got to changing which was made easy with just needing to remove the diaper. “This is just water well isn’t that strange” she mused realizing the soaked pamper was just wet with regular water. “To see Sissy.” Nancy whispered conspiratorially. “Aren’t you the sneakest thing today!” Chrissy matched her tone as she worked to tap on a dry one. Her smile dropped seeing the teen’s heavily bruised bottom, she tried to touch them gently but Nancy whimpered loudly the moment she made any contact. “Don’t cry I will put on some cream for your boo-boos, just bite on teddy while I do that.” Chrissy tried to comfort as she gently applied cream to them. Nancy bit on the plastic as hard as she can to not scream out every time Chrissy touched her sore skin. “Its over now, you were a very brave girl.” Chrissy shushed Nancy’s whimpers once the dry diaper was tapped. Nancy got upright testing out the new feeling, the cream really helping with the pain. “Thank you Auntie Chrissy…..could you help Bubba and Eddy too?” she asked. “With what?” “Billy played really rough.” Chrissy couldn’t help but chuckle, she probably won’t be able even see them but Nancy doesn’t need to know that. “Sure cutie I will also deal with their boo boos, till then come let’s spend time with Robin, she was very worried about you too.” “Piggyback ride?” Nancy shyly asked. “Ofcourse you are my favorite passenger, wrap your leg tightly.” Chrissy helped the girl to hold on to her back. Once she successfully had her on it, Chrissy hopped Nancy around a bit before making their way towards the others. “How the hell is she managing to carry her like?” Robin asked trying to decipher how the shorter girl carried Nancy with no struggle. “Buckley your guess is good as mine.” Heather replied trying catch her breath after their struggle. Chrissy gently dropped Nancy on to Robin lap, Nancy immediately hugged Robin tightly crying into her shoulder. “I am sorry….must hate me.” she sobbed out finally able to to feel her actual emotions. Robin seeing her cry couldn’t help but start crying as well. “Never sweetie, we gonna get out of here okay. I am sorry for not taking you seriously. I just thought you were over reacting but I understand why you were secretive, because knowing this can happen I would be lip tight to.” “If we go, can they come?” Nancy asked in a hopeful tone. Robin didn’t need to think who she meant, the duo was pretending to not try to eavesdrop on their conversation. “Ohh you sentimental Lois Lane I think we can’t really get them out.” “But can’t we try? He..he..he hur…hurts them too.” Robin’s eye flickered at them again, not realizing before that they were also prisoners forced to do Vecna’s bidding. “We will think of a plan then, now lemme check on you.” “How is your cheek?” Robin asked inspecting Nancy’s now bruised face. “Stings a lot.” Nancy said touching her puffy cheek. “Are you okay?” Robin asked quietly wanting to understand what happened beforehand to change her attitude so drastically with him. “I don’t know.” Nancy confessed trying to reconcile her actual feelings with the fogginess thats clouding her judgement occasionally. Robin pulled the teen into another tight hug trying to provide some comfort, whispering sweet words hoping they would reach to the part of her that needs to hear it. Her hands massaged Nancy’s scalp while she listened to the the two girls bickering. “No you can’t join them Chriss.” Heather grumbled. “But she seems like she gives nice hugs.” Chrissy pouted a bit. “Look I will hug you later or something just try to act more intimidating.” “Awee you would?!” Chrissy said cheerfully giving the opposite energy her partner wants. Before Robin can hear the rest Nancy looked up to her asking. “Sissy not hurt?” “Yeah don’t worry Wheels we kept her safe, see I am very nice Buckley.” “Unlike you sweetie, I am fine look at your neck its all red from the damn collar.” Robin growled in anger. “I will rip this thing off.” she said. “Don’t touch h-he-he knows if.” Nancy stopped her scared of the consequences. “She never gets severely hurt, I promise Robin just this time he is really making a point.” Chrissy said from the sidelines. “I just thought it was maybe bad visions only, I read her notes they never even mentioned the spankings to this degree.” Robin looked helplessly not knowing what do anymore. “Thats what he uses on her most of the time as the most severe type.” Heather explained omitting the more embarrassing stuff for Nancy’s sake incase she didn’t want her to know. “Also Robin you liking girls isn’t dirty or anything it was bit of an act. I think its great that you know who you are.” Chrissy apologized for her behavior before, she really didn’t mean any of the mean stuff she said. She then pushed Heather from behind to also apologize who reluctantly caved in. “I am also sorry that I called you a very bad word, it was an act as well. I mean I like both genders so what would that make a light dyke.” she tried to joke for Robin’s sake. Robin’s eyes widened at her implications, thinking how people are not what they seem.“Ohhh…thanks you guys and Chrissy I am sorry about what I said and the kick by the way.” “Kick?” Nancy question her eyebrows scrunching. “I overreacted a bit and hit her ….aow sweetie hey I was apologizing you dont need to hit me.” Robin tried to shield herself from Nancy’s light swats. “For meanness, she is super nice.” Nancy huffed disappointed in her behavior. “Its okay cutie we made up, but thank you for protecting my honor. Did someone taught you to be this chivalrous?” Chrissy asked light heartedly. “I think her crush on Eddie made her dramatic, they both been making over the top declarations around each other.” Robin absentmindedly suggested as she fixed Nancy’s pigtails who was shaking her head to play with them. “Crush on Eddy, eww Sissy thats gross.” Nancy’s face scrunched up at the implication. “Could have fooled me, you are always finding ways to spend time with him.” “Sissy has a crush not me” Nancy argued back, but immediately slapped her hand on her mouth remembering it was supposed to be a secret. “Nance!!” Robin chastised looking fearful because of old habits. Hearing potential gossip Heather got excited.“Ah who we gonna tell Buckley the mutt please so who is it? Tell me just it better be not Janis? My bet was she was also playing for the other team but she is the worst.” “Vickie Pollard” “Oh from the band isn’t it that so romantic.” Christie swooned a bit. “The red head from Chem 102, definitely lesbian i seen how she looked at Becky when she had that push up bra phase.” Heather thought hard to remember her old classmates. “Wait really?” Robin asked hopefully. “Hell yeah Buckley, now what you gonna do with that information. Have you even popped your cherry yet?” Heather raised her eyebrow suggestively. Nancy completely misunderstanding the implication accidentally saved the tongue tied Robin. “She can’t….not cherry season yet” Heather opened her mouth for a moment and the closed again not knowing how to react. Meanwhile while Chrissy was holding back her own laughter, snickering behind her hand. “Well Wheels I been meaning to ask which season is it now?” Heather asked giving up on trying to actually explain the context. “Oh oh its spring! Cuz pretty flowers are blooming!” Nancy explained excitedly. “Thank you for clarifying good job” Heather patted the teen’s head while rolling her eyes Chrissy kissed her check as a reward as well, finding her mistake very amusing. “Thats our bright one for you Heather, even if she takes things literally.” Robin looked at the trio at awe of their dynamic, it was clear now that Heather under all her prickliness cared for the two girls and well Chrissy was just an angel, she sees why Jason can’t get over her. Cerberus appeared next Robin scaring the crap out of her wanting play time with his owner. Chrissy understanding what the creature wanted picked Nancy up to sit farther away from Robin to ease her mind. Nancy happily reached out to her demodog, to give him scratches. “Cerb!! Still good boy?” “Ohh he has been the best company, right we play catch and cuddle.” Chrissy happily told her about their day. “Cuddle time? Want too.” Nancy whined, pulling Cerberus into her arms. Robin still bewildered by their attitude, addressed Heather, amused at her obvious disdain of the creature too. “Nancy would sell us all out for that rabies infected thing wouldn’t she.” “Right how is she relax about that beast?” “Chrissy is also into this whole domestic pet thing?” Robin asked seeing her also play with the demodog. “Big time she plays fetch with him, I tell her to stop getting that thing too excited.” Heather rolled her eyes. “Glad to see you two are getting along.” Chrissy observed from afar. “We are not getting along!” Both yelled at the same time. “Uhmm you said you like both genders is that a thing.” Robin reluctantly asked Heather changing the subject. “So uncultured for a lesbian babes, look up about it outside Hawkins if you survive this. It’s called bisexuality, Wheels over there might like to learn about it.” “What do you mean?” “Just observe Buckley, Nancy looks at her like an excitable puppy.” “Chrissy really is good with her.” Robin had to admit reluctantly, she never seen Nancy this enamored before. “She is annoyingly nice for a popular cheerleader, but I have to reluctantly admit its been nice even if means she is dead.” Heather explained shrugging of what it would be an existential dread. Before Robin can ask further about the grim implications, she heard Cunningham asking. “Hey what you doing cutie, there is something on my blouse?” Nancy was pulling on the girls shirt like she does with her in the mornings when she wants her baba. “She does that to signal when she wants milk basically.” Robin explained for Chrissy. “Where is mommy?” Nancy asked. “Sorry we can’t take you to her uhm..” Chrissy fumbled not knowing what to say. “She is sleeping Wheels but don’t worry she told us to tell you she loves you very much.” Heather saved the moment. “Ohh okay.” Nancy looked down disappointed, she started biting on her fingers again from stress of not knowing where her mom is. “No bitting our fingers sweetie.” Robin said reflexively. Chrissy thinking the same said. “Come on lets not bite our fingers off.” she got up to take Nancy back to Robin. “Is someone hungry because I am hungry for some sweet pie. Hmm I know, I will eat this adorable one.” Chrissy baby talked to get Nancy mind of her mom. She playfully bit on her shoulder, making Nancy giggle. “Hey Chriss come on you can’t just hog her all to yourself.” Heather joined in tickling Nancy’s tummy. Robin seeing Nancy’s face go red from their constant tickling, scooted with the chair to stop them. “Hey shining girls stop it, I can still kick with my legs.” “Sissy get them off!” Nancy wheezed out. “No we going to eat you Wheels its decided.” Heather teased her. “Aunty Heather stop it.” Nancy said in between her giggles. Heather’s eyes widened knowing Robin’s going to make fun of the nickname. “Aunty!!! That is the hilarious.” Robin let out a laugh. “If can’t kill Chrissy, I will kill you Buckley I dare you to make one more comment.” Heather sneered towards her. “What you going to do huh hit me with your middle aged wine bottle thats hidden somewhere.” “Okay thats it.” Heather yelled grabbing a pillow from the side to hit her with it. “I think we needed popcorn for the entertainment” Chrissy whispered to Nancy who nodded in agreement. “You call that a hit, you really are showing your age.” Robin stuck her tongue out. “Sissy you being meanie again.” Nancy warned not liking her demeaning Heather. “She is being a meanie isn’t she Wheels.” Heather fake pouted to get Nancy’s sympathy. Which easily worked as Nancy extended her arms towards Heather for her to pickup. “Why are you protective over her Nance?” Robin huffed not understanding what she sees in her. “Because being her aunty over rules over sister.” Heather stuck her tongue towards Robin to piss her off as she hopped Nancy around “Right Wheels aren’t I part of your life as much as her.” “Auntie Heather so silly…you important.” Nancy reassured her. “Uhhhh you are so frustrating.” Robin growled, addressing Chrissy she asked. “Are you not gonna say anything?” She just helplessly shrugged. “I am just enjoying the show, this the closest thing to tv entertainment I had in a while.” “Look if it helps Heather really did improved in the last few days. I think she likes that Nancy wants her around, it melted her ice heart a bit. And the nickname was my idea, thought it be easier for Nancy to feel comfortable with us with more with familial nicknames.” “Well uhhm she is still annoying as hell though.” Robin tried to argue back. “Well I can’t work miracles Robin.” Chrissy threw her arms up, cracking a smile when Robin started to laugh. Their peaceful atmosphere was cut short with Cerberus running into the room roaring warning the girls. “He is back in the house, we need to make sure Robin looks ruffed up like the boys are to not rouse suspicion.” Chrissy panicked. “Take her, I will handle the band geek.” Heather immediately transferred Nancy into Chrissy’s arms. “Wait wha—“ Robin was speechless as soon as the teen was on her thighs straddling. “Well Buckley I have an idea, but you gonna force yourself to hate this one.” Heather said as she messed Robin’s hair and ripped her shirt a bit. Nancy without understanding much looked at the unfolding scene confusingly. “No no no you can’t see this” Chrissy hurriedly placed her in the crib, making sure to put on a blindfold so she couldn’t see. “Don’t remove this okay.” “Why not?” She whined trying to sneak a peek. “Just trust me please, we need to act like your Sis Robbie is being tortured.” “Ohh use red crayon for bruise.” Nancy suggested understanding the game. “Thats my smart cutie.” “Also!” “One more thing?” Chrissy checked as she tucked Nancy in. “Keep her safe.” Nancy pleaded with a small voice, Chrissy leaned forward to kiss her forehead before giving her pacifier to suckle on. When Henry Creel barged into the room, he found the tied up girl, yelling and crying as his servants were teased her relentlessly. They seemed to have played rough evidenced by her disheveled state. “Hello master, didn’t hear you come in.” They stopped to bow down their heads. He waved his hand dismissively looking around. “It’s acceptable you were busy, Billy told me mini Creel was napping here.” “Oh there she is with her blinds dead to the rest of the world.” Henry smirked walking towards the crib, Nancy seemed to be in deep sleep slowly sucking on her pacifier. He slowly shook Nancy to wake her up. “Did your babysitters put on your blindfold on because they were playing their big girl games?” Henry asked removing it off her face. “Yeah, unfair wanted to help.” Nancy fake whined, rubbing her eyes till it got use to the light again. “You are too young for those games my little one, that was the right call.” “When will i grow up?” “When you don’t have to use your pampers for potty.” Henry said lifting Nancy from the crib to put her down on the floor. “Ohh okay.” Nancy disappointedly looked on the floor. “Don’t be sad I was impressed by your psychological games with Billy. Using him to exploit the jock’s insecurities, don’t know if thats the writer in you but poetic irony is your strong suite.” “Tried make you proud.” Nancy played into his ego. “Good job, come on lets go we got work to do baby.” Henry announced as he walked towards the door. He turned around when Nancy wasn’t following him. “Why aren’t you coming?” “You not holding Daddy.” She pointed out holding out the leash towards him. He smirked seeing her remembering his order. “Oh pet I knew you wouldn’t forget it, just had to check, you know how daddy likes to make sure everything is alright.” “Don’t disobey.” she shook her said. Henry smirked as he pulled on the leash to lead her out. “I will take her from here, and you two can get back to your fun.” he chuckled seeing the tied up girl looking even more terrified hearing that. “Thank you master.” They chorused simultaneously. Once they were gone, the girls let out a big sigh of relief. “What do you say wanna go for seconds Buckley?” Heather smirked sitting in her lap. “Fuck off.“ Robin leaned to the side to throw her off. “I mean I can do that too trying to help you here.” Heather still teased from the floor, dusting herself off. “Heather stop it, you don’t need to push that much.” Chrissy chastised her. “Listen to your cheerleader sidekick Holloway.” Robin tried to argue but realized she screwed up a bit seeing the fire lit in cheerleader’s eyes. Hearing that hit Chrissy’s own vengeful nerve. “On the other hand we can try to show you some other moves to impress Vicky.” She seductively whispered into her ear. “Hah you shouldn’t have pissed her nice ones are always more devious.” Heather joined Robin’s other side snickering. “I am so fucked.” Robin thought internally as she tried ramble her way out of the situation. Meanwhile Henry instead of pulling on the leash the whole way, he hoisted Nancy up to carry on his hip towards the living room. He sat down on the rocking chair, gently seating her in his lap. Henry rocked on the chair, letting Nancy get comfortable with his presence once again. “Hows your poor bottom?” Henry asked as he patted it gently. “Better.” Nancy answered truthfully, the cream taking most of the sting away. Henry traced her chin with his finger as he thought out loud. “What did I do wrong baby, why do you keep disobeying me. I thought you wanted us to be together” he asked trying to come off as understanding. “Yeah Daddy I-I-I k-k-kno-now.” Nancy trailed off not knowing how to explain it herself. He let out a faux exasperated sigh. “You really care about them don’t you. Be honest little one, I will not get angry at you promise.” Henry put on a kind smile for his facade. His sweet tone successfully got her to tell what she actually wants thinking he will understand her. “Just wanna keep them.” Henry thought about her statement a bit, even if he tried as hard as he can she has a bond with them unfortunately. He has always been an opportunist, why couldn’t he exploit that to finally get a hold of her before the finale gate. “How about I make you a little offer?” Henry said lifting her chin up, before whispering his idea into her ear. When the three teens came to their senses, after their torture sessions were over, they were back in the dining hall. Henry aka Vecna was standing infront of them pacing slowly. Occasionally leaning into them to scare them even more, his monstrous appearance doing most of the work. Nancy was in the background looking down, watching helplessly knowing she can’t do anything. “You three meddling kids thought you can sneak around without me knowing, luckily I can’t get to you physically anymore but she I can do whatever I want.” he said roughly getting a hold of the Nancy’s collar to drag her behind him. “Don’t you dare hurt her.” Steve piped up unlike the other two he wasn’t going to let be intimidated by him. He dealt with the Russians, some evil wizard can’t be that different. “You insolent child!” Henry yelled taking a swipe with his claw to scratch his chest. With Steve screams in the background he continued with his narration. “Now its your turn to be all stuck in your worse nightmares for an eternity.” Suddenly Nancy hurriedly crawled into the middle holding her hands up. “No Daddy please no hurt them.” “Stand back my little one, this trick takes a lot of power daddy needs his focus.” “I wanna keep them Daddy.” Nancy begged to make him stop. “Baby you already have a pet why you would need them.” he chided holding his nose like a tired parent. “Need servants above.” Nancy tried to reason. “Hmm” Henry thought about it. “Please please I….I…I…will train them be good” she crawled forward to hug his knees as she begged. “This not like having a creature, its gonna take a lot of time breaking their minds when the time comes baby.” “You said I train Cerb well….can do again.” “As you grow up you gonna have to take care of their needs and clean their messes too.” “Can handle it.” Nancy confidently said. “Show me your control right now” Henry waved his hand to release the teens free from their binds. Nancy looked conflicted at the them, Robin realizing her play winked at her to signal they are on the same page. “Sit!” Nancy yelled all there complying with her command. Henry looked at her expectedly so Nancy continued. “Play dead!” she said pointing at Eddie, who dramatically acted like shot and fell to the ground. Knowing Steve was in fresh pain she asked him to just give hand to not overwhelm him. “Speak girl!” She asked of Robin, who assumed it be more canine based then human so she barked out of desperation for Nancy’s plan to work. Seeing their demonstration he said. “You want them alive that much?” he raised his eyebrow exasperated. “Fine I guess this is acceptable.” “Really” Nancy asked hopefully. “Really yeah I will not harm your pets and the kids too if you promise me something.” “Anything Daddy.” “You willingly will come home to me tomorrow, I will actively try not hurt them anymore and find a new victim.” “Promise let them go, l stay.” Nancy said in relief. He lifted Nancy into his arms to address the teens. “You are lucky my daughter is merciful for now, if she is not back in my clutches tomorrow midnight her and Max Mayfield will both be taken forcefully. Also please send my regards to subject Eleven, tell her subject One remembers what she done to him and is coming for revenge.” Henry let out a maniacal laughter as the last thing they heard before waking up in their bodies again. The kids were around them trying to wake them, once they came to their senses. “Steve are you okay?” Robin pulled her best friend into a tight hug. “Robin are you okay, did they hurt you?”Steve hugged her back in relief. “I am fine dingus, your chest had a literal gaping wound a minute ago let me do the worrying.” Robin sobbed out. “Eddie is fine to if anyone wants to check.” Eddie grumbled into the mattress. “Ohh Eddie so glad you are okay too.” Steve said in relief. “What happened to you guys?” Lucas Sinclair asked confused at their reactions. “Well so we meet Vecna…wait where is Nancy?” Robin looked around panicking not hearing Nancy’s soft voice. They all turned to see Nancy’s eyes were still rolled back looking catatonic. “Why is she not back?” Dustin Henderson asked. “No no that bastard still has her. Not again I promised to keep her safe.” Steve muttered as he pulled her into his arms, shaking her to wake up. “We need to find her song now.” Lucas voiced what everyone was thinking. Eddie pulled them towards his room where his tape collection was. “Steve nothing will change if we stay with her, you know her the most come on lets find her tape.” Robin tried to get him to move. “Steve I got her go help them.” Max Mayfield reassured him. Steve reluctantly got up to check Eddie’s tape pile with the others. Meanwhile Max silently sat on the floor pulling Nancys’s head into her lap. She took out the headphones of her cassette player for Kate Bush’s melodic voice to fill the empty space. She knows this isn’t her favorite song but maybe it can still be life line for her to know they are coming for her. “Nance please wake up.” she cried out quietly as everyone around her descended into chaos.

-As is typical of any aircraft in the fleet that is used heavily. It was time for Ara’s phase inspection for 900 hours. Then again Ara wasn’t any other aircraft in the force. Which made things very different and honestly difficult to understand. I had made my way onto base and to the maintenance operations hanger. Walked pass the desk with all the loads of paperwork for all the jets on the line and in the hangers. Made a left past locker rooms and bathrooms and pushed open a dual door. I honestly looked like a lost puppy. But eventually after ducking under the noses of two regular grey falcons did I come across Ara in her slick Matte black skin. “Well hey there lovely” “Lovely? Yeah right! I’ve got panels missing, I’m on jacks, missing a stab and above all my gun is out. Don’t see how I’m lovely” “Dam girl. Don’t be a buzz kill.” “I’m not ryry. I’m just over it. It’s been a week already. Between the day shift and morning shift it’s been chaos. Not to mention the tech then to freak out when their jet is living. Plus I’m sure one of them has a heart on for me. “ “Ha!……. I mean who wouldn’t have a heart for you big sexy thang……..” “Ryaaaaaannnn……” “Baaaabe…. You know. Look can’t you change and relax with me around here ?” “Eh… don’t think I can. It would be like me having open sores and a foot amputated. So unless you wanna walk around with a bleeding and limping girl. I don’t think it’s a good idea.” “I would still love you either way. It’s not like we haven’t been through that before!” “Oh yeah. That time!!!” “Yup”. “So! Anything going on with you?” “Well yeah. The house is finalized and it’s being built. The runway is going to be 10 thousand feet by 100 and hanger connected to the house. My retirement package is set and so is yours although yours apparently had to go to the pentagon. But that’s it” “That’s nice. Can’t wait to be on final. Especially with that Montana brisk air! “ “You bet ya. Well baby. I have to go. But I’ll be back before the night.” “Awwww. Okay love. See you. Hopefully I’ll have that stab and ISA in before 2300 tonight.” “Fingers and cross hairs crossed! Love you bade. Muuuhaw” “See you love,,, be safe” “Of course dear. You behaved with those techs lol” -It’s never easy leaving her. But I know she’s gonna be back sooner than later. I patted her nose as I turned back towards the door at the end and left for the medical appointment I had
