Weird Shit [#13]
"Nobody tells me what to do."
How did it come to this...? He asked himself, feeling the conflicting emotions bubbling inside Billy Hargrove: Anger, Despair, but most importantly, Fear. The forehead of Billy Hargrove connected with his nose and before he could reacted, he was thrown back by a powerful headbutt- "Woo!" The feeling of euphoria surged within the boy as he screamed, it almost seemed to dull the fear for a moment, before there was a voice called out to Billy in a tender, gentle tone: "Billy." In a single instant, everyone stopped as coming into the room was Victor Zunni Vermont, the only guy Steven couldn't read the emotions of: "Come here." The effect was instantaneous on him, the emotions Seven got were... Dulling down? Yeah, dying down as Billy reached out and hugged him, placing his forehead into the other's chest and started crying- It was loud and wet the sounds of his cries, full of despair and like a charm, Steven also felt it slowly wash away his own emotions.
There was only confusion from the kids as they watched, mostly Max who never saw her brother cry before, but as she looked up at Vermont she froze- she was holding the syringe they used to drug Will before, well, the same drug in a different syringe okay? "I'd put it down if i were you, Max." There wasn't a shadow of a doubt that it was a threat, she looked at the bat on the ground and picked it up, only to see it shine in a black color for a second before it flew out of her hand into the hands of Zunni: "I told you." Steven almost screamed 'No!' when they all saw a black box surrounding the bat, it had the size of the bat and all that, but it suddenly got so small that there was no way a bat could fit there- And it didn't, they all heard the sound if the bat cracking and breaking turning into sawdust and broken nails: "What the fuck!?" Dustin's voice expressed everyone's thoughts, it all hit him then- "You're a number, aren't you?" He knew it, He was Number 7, Eleven was... Well, 11, Kali was 8- Who was him then? "Well, aren't you clever?"
Grinning, Zunni pulled back the sleeve of his black shirt, showing his arm where black lines spread over, making it look like his veins were filled with black blood (But it probably was a a tattoo, right?), and right on the wrist was there- [002]: "Holy shit." He heard Lucas whisper to himself as Max dropped the syringe in shock, she had only heard of Eleven and what she could do, and she knly knew Steven could feel other people's feelings but now seeing another number doing something else? That was so scary! "I'm sorry for him, Steven, even though he didn't do something wrog per say... He was worried about Max you see, and seeing her in a creepy house surrounded by people he told her to avoid, it rang some..." There was a cracking sound as wood broke beneath his hand, showing the strength of his fingers: "Bells inside his head... And after what happened, he had a breakdown, but don't worry, I'll tske care of him." His arms hugged the vulnerable Billy, letting him rest a little as he looked at the other kids: "Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair... And Max, of course, i would highly recommend you to not leave the house, i have some exorcism to perform on Will Byers and take that leech within his body and mind and burn it."
His fingers tenderly touched the messy hair of Billy, he was still wearing the clothes he had given him to have their first official date, but half-way to the destination he felt Billy's distress and followed their bond until he arrived at the Byers house, only to find him about to fight Steve Herrington- "Waitwaitwaitwait- Are we going to ignore the elephant in the room!?" Dustin, ah Dustin, Steve really loves you but can't you see the guy holding the other guy acting like a threatened bear mother with its cub!? "He's- Like, Eleven! He's like Eleven Mike! Like Eleven and Steven! And he's a jerk like Billy too it seems." Even though the last part was whispered, Victor clearly heard- Soon, they all backed away when his face broke and tore apart into a snout as a large black wolf face roared at them: "WEREWOLF!" Dusin shouted as he backed away in shock, but Steven could only - for the first time - feel one thing coming from Zunni: Protect, Protect, Protect.
"Watch your foul mouth, 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙!" The heavy, growly voice from the now Werewolf Zunni made them all freeze in fear: "I will not hear any of you talk hit about hi-" He was about to finish his sentece when Billy let out a shaky breath, making him stop and turn to whimper like a kicked puppy to Billy, nuzzling his snout on his hair while giving them the red eye of death, as if to say: 'Not a fucking word.' There was this sudden growth on the wolf's skin before he whispered: "Time to sleep, love... Once you wake up, you'll be fine, and we'll go hunting for monsters, okay?" He did not wait for an answer before there was a strange smell coming from his body- it was weak them, but for Billy who had his face onto Zunni's chest, it was too strong- He was knocked out pretty easily: "I'll be back in 20 minutes with your sister, her boyfriend, and Will Byers- Listen my words, when i come back, if there is even a single hair out of place in his head-" His human face turned back into that crazy black wolf face, his hands grew fur and claws as he looked at them, lowering his body as if to pounce on them: "I'll tear your skin and eat your flesh, and in the end use your bones and fucking 𝗧𝗢𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗣𝗜𝗖𝗞! Got it?" His head turned almost a 180° to look at Steven too, who nodded quickly as he chuckled nervously- "Great." His body turned back into a human in an insant and his whole demeanor turned back into a sweet type as he took Billy's unconscious body into a bride carrying and pulled a blanket from who knows where and placed it on top of him, tucking him in carefully and kissing his forehead.
"I'll be back kids, listen to your mom Steven... And don't touch my Billy, or else blood will be spilled!" He walked over through the door, everyone slowly turned to look at the window to see him look into the sky, spread his arms and jump as wings formed on his back and he flew away into the night sky-
"What the fuck just happened?" Max.exe stopped working.
-Scene Cut-
Landing on the Hopper's cabin, Zunni opens the door and ignores Nancy Wheeler and Jonathan Byers as they were struggling with the Byers boy, who was relentlessly fighting as the Mind Flayer was trying to stay within his body- "You are killing him, you known that, right?" Technically, they were, since this heat was forcing the Mind Flayer to take as much energy from Will as it could, damaging his body in the process: "Who-" Nancy turned to look at him as Jonathan also did, but none could move as green and thick vines and weed grew from the floor and surrounded Will, restraining his legs and arms, butterflies sprouting out of the vines and surrounding him! Jonathan couldn't believe his eyes, Nancy pulled back as all the butterflies started to glow in a green light: "Butterflies always lead to the way, right Jonny?" His head snapped at him as Zunni's eyes glowed in green energy and a large amount of energy entered Will's body
In a screech, the dark tendril snapped and was removed from within the body of Will Byers as a dark slug-like thing withered right before them, turning into ash. "Hm... He's still a connection, but that's a pain to deal with since I'd need a lot of shit to break the connection, and I'm really not up to that shit now." Zunni sighed as his body shivered, nature touching and checking on him to see if he was okay, which was honestly adorable in his eyes: "You-" Jonathan tried to ask, but Zunni raised his hand and stopped him, Eddie came running into the room alongside Robin with bags of hot water before they froze and look at Zunni. "We're all coming back to the Byers, take your brother too... I have a tunnel to burn, now that the anchor is severed, it'll be harder for it to resist the flames this time." He indeed tried to burn it, but the fire was quickly put out by the tunnel itself, that moved like it was alive! "That spell cost me a lot of energy, but I'm already fine, get on the car now we don't got much time... My Billy asked to be up when we go monster hunting again." There was a growl in his voice once he said 'My' Billy, which Nancy did rise an eyebrow at: "But wait a damn minute-"
"You are gay!" Much like the protagonist of a certain movie, Zunni waved both hands in front of the faces of both Eddie Munson and Robin Buckley, who were like- 'Damn, he's not wrong.' As he walked out, shouting: "Don't make me drag you all out right this instant- It's not gonna be fun, I'm a stressed and worried boyfriend here!"
-Scene Cut-
The five at Byers house kinda didn't know what to do with him, they all just kept their distance: "I'm sorry Max, but your brother's boyfriend is just as much of a psycho as he is- Made for each other those two are." Lucas sighed as he slumped down beside Max, Steven was being taken care of by Dustin, who was checking on his nose: "So we're gonna ignore that he attacked Steven?" Mike asked as he aggressively pointed at Billy, who had this blank face as he slept: "Well, i don't wanna have my bones used a toothpicks thank you very much!" The ever so sarcastic Dustin turned to stare at Mike, questioning his intelligence for a moment before saying: "Did you not hear the werewolf with telekinetic powers!?"
"At least one of them is smart." The voice of the dreaded werewolf came from the door as walking in came him, the one they were talking about as well as Nancy, Jonathan, a sleeping Will, Eddie and Robin too- Victor didn't wait, he walked over to Billy and sniffed him, as if to search for any scent on him thatwas out of place, once knowing he was fine, he hugged his body and let out something similar to a purr of content. Dustin turned to look at the other five and saw how shellshocked the four that weren't asleep were: "Uhm... hey guys?" Snapping out of their shock, the quartet just had several different reactions- Eddie had this big smile, Robin was both horrified and amazed, Nancy was downright terrified, and Jonathan was questioning his reality with a blank face: "Uhm, what happened tom them?" Max whispered, and the voice of the psycho boyfriend brought back their attention to him: "They found out what is like to fly in the back of a dinosaur." He snickered, hugging Billy, who moved his head as he was being caressed into waking up- The sedation of him was reversed quickly when he put a black powder before the nose of the unconscious boy, bringing him back to consciousness: "Hey, hey... I'm here."
He hugged Billy, who had a shaking breathing, still a little out of it: "Fuck... You..." He whispered, making Zunni smiled as he hugged him close and bit Billy's ear and seductively whispered: "You've already done that, darling~"
"Okay, like that's cute and gay as fuck-" Eddie Munson broke the small world Zunni was lost in as he kept saying: "But are we gonna ignore that that guy can turn into a fucking Quetzalcoatlus!?"
"No." Robin shook her head with a little hysterical laughter: "I wanna do that again-" She was maybe a little high, since she was afraid of flying in a dinosaur so Zunni might've tried to keep her calm by giving her Super Weed? (A special type of weed he was trying to make that can make him high, but apparently can make someone high out of their minds with a single bunt?) "We're definitely not doing that again." Nancy went and sat down beside Steven, Eddie already there helping Dustin out, Robin was on the floor as Max and Lucas looked at each other- Mike helped Jonathan to take Will to a bed and soon they were all relaxed for the moment.
Sighing, Victor got up as Billy nodded to him: "Sorry about the broken nose..." Billy whispered to Steven once they were close enough, he was sincerely tired and wanted to go to sleep for the night: "I'll just heal that-"
"Wait what?" Dustin's question was ignored as Zunni's hand touched Steven's forehead, a green glow shone on the room and Steven's nose was like it had never been broken- "Dude..." Dusin turned to Lucas and Max, everyone who had seen that were or confused or in awe: "We got a Druid!"
Well, they're not wrong.
