a/n: as requested by a reader, here's part four to this mini series. enjoy :)

You walked back into the building with Mike, with the blood colored blush still vibrant in your cheeks. You both made it back to the AV Club room but not before the door was slammed open and everyone came running out.

"What the hell happened!" Dustin exclaimed, looking at both of you worried sick.

You only sighed, looking down towards the floor and Mike took it as the correct sign to start talking or they would find out by some other way, a way that would the story twisted around into something it wasn't.

"We just kissed a few times."

Max raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

Mike looked from you to everyone else and just shook his head. "Anyways, that's not the point right now. The point we need to be discussing are these powers of hers and how to control them."

Everyone nodded as they looked towards you. Your blue and brown eyes looked at everyone else's before the ground.

You were nervous.

You also wished you hadn't lost your cool (omg that's not that funny but like it is because she gets colder when she's mad, not hot. okay I'm done) that day in the bedroom and you could've completely avoided this situation.

Or maybe you might've done what you did to Stacey and her goons anyways, and people could've figured out that instead.

Either way, your powers had been revealed and internally, you were having a war.

—
You were walking home alone today because Mike thought it would be best if he goes with Lucas and Dustin to figure out what to do to control, maybe contain, your powers.

You agreed to let him and began the walk.

Along the way, you stared at everything you passed. Schools, stores, houses. Everyone seemed so normal, and everything was plain and uninteresting. Yet, here you were with your double colored eyes and Elsa powers.

You tightened your hold on your backpack as you went along, trying to make everyone look away from you. You didn't want anymore attention drawn to yourself today.

As you were passing the general store, a man came out with a bunch of bags. He ran straight into you without even looking and you fell to the ground along with the different bags the man had.

"I'm so sorry, sir." You apologized quickly.

You could almost feel the glare through the bags that were scattered around you.

"Next time you should be more careful, bitch."

You looked up, feeling the anger coming to the surface but you tried to push it back down.

No.

You can't do this to another person. Maybe he's just having a bad day and needs someone nice to talk to him.

You tried to tell yourself that he was good, he was just an innocent man but the anger was clawing it's way up into your throat and it hurt. It felt like icicles continually stabbing you and you just had to give in.

"How about you watch out next time."

With that, you sent a blast of ice onto him, planting him to his car, or someone else's car, and smiled. "Maybe you should be more careful next time."

Before people could start to gather, you began to run. Your feet took you away from that sight and into the woods very quickly and you were smiling the entire time.

—
The woods could be considered a safe place for some people, especially since you could go in there and hide whenever you wanted to and not be able to found very quickly.

You stopped running when you made it in far enough but you were still in this state of mind.

The anger still at the surface.

"What to do." You talked to yourself.

You probably sounded crazy to other people.

You snapped your fingers, snow beginning to fall while you stared at it with your frosty blue eyes, a smile on your lips.

You suddenly felt a pain on your head, like your hair was being ripped out. You reached up, feeling a strand of your hair to find it fine, but it was still hurting.

You pulled it into your view, your eyes turning back to brown, making the snow stop as you stared at the light blue strand in front of you that was now your hair color.

You were scared.

If you used your powers enough, would this be the outcome of it? Would it be more like a consequence than a blessing to have powers. Well, more than it already was.

You quickly checked your other hair and found it to be the original color that it was supposed to be but just not that one strand.

Wasn't the color supposed to go away when you weren't in your alter ego state? Would using your powers more often result in making all of your beautiful, natural hair blue?

You had so many questions in your head you didn't even realize that there were people walking towards you in the woods, confused looks on their face as they looked at you.

"Um, can we help you?" One of the men asks, giving his partner an odd look because of you.

You shook your head, feeling suddenly overwhelmed with everything that was happening and you weren't sure how much longer you could go on like this.

You needed to be away from people to be able not to get angry and cause any more hair changes.

"Hello?" The other man asked.

You looked up at him, your multi colored eyes meeting his as he took a step back.

"I take that as a no."

You nodded, walking silently away from the two men and towards the center of the woods. You needed to be alone to control your anger, even if that meant not telling your friends where you were.

You wanted to protect them. You wanted to protect your boyfriend, more than anything. You couldn't risk him being hurt in all of this.

The longing to go back was scratching at the back of your neck but you kept on moving inwards. You weren't about to scare anyone else in Hawkins.

Especially not your friends.
