"So, you're saying that my eyes are completely gone of brown?" You asked Mike, giving him a concerned look with your new frosty blue eyes. He nodded.

You began running your fingers through your hair that had two sections of blue in it. Who were you becoming? Some dangerous creature from Hawkins Lab? No. You can't be.

Mike went over to where you pacing and grabbed your hands. "Hey." He said. "Hey. I've been with you for a long time."

You looked up at him, a small sparkle of fear in your eyes. Mike noticed it, pulling you closer to him by your intertwined hands. You put your face in his chest, tightly wrapping your hands around him.

"What the hell am I going to do?" You asked him, feeling him pry your fingers off from around him and place his hands in your hair,  pulling your lips to his.

You felt a twisted knot of nerves and fear instantly untie itself and fall limp. Even in a moment of stress, the taste of his lips on yours made you feel weak to your knees.

You didn't deserve him after what you've done. You didn't deserve what he gives to you.

You didn't want to let go of his lips but your thoughts were forcing you too.

"I don't deserve you, Mike."

Your blue eyes found his as he just smiled at you and said back, "I am willing to help you."

You glanced down to his lips back up to his eyes with a small frown on your lips. "I don't want you to get hurt."

He nodded, still staring down into your newly colored eyes. "I understand but I'm willing to help you. So, just let me, alright?"

You nodded, looking down towards the ground and letting go of him, walking over to the bed and sitting down. You stared down at your hand as you felt it begin to frost over slightly, a sharp pain in your hand.

"Shit!" You exclaimed loudly, Mike quickly rushing over to you to see what had happened.

Another section of hair had turned light blue, your hand was colder with a small tint of blue, and your lips were turning the color of the bluest crayon Will had at his house.

He stared down at you.

"I-I haven't used my powers recently." You said.

Mike nodded, reaching out to grab your hand but had to pull his away quickly because of how cold it had become. Your tears now had turned to the color of ice yet, they were still very much a liquid as they slid down your cheeks.

"You're too cold for me to touch, ___." (get y'alls minds out of the sewer #sadattemptatanITjoke).

You nodded, suddenly feeling dizzy as you tried to stand up. Something was occurring inside of your body that was turning you into a monster. A monster much like the demogorgan except for you were just a middle schooler who was an ordinary girl until this happened.

Your blue eyes become even more frosty as you stared at Mike, the room beginning to rain down small snowflakes on top of both of you two.

"___, what's going on?" He asked.

You looked towards the ground, trying to get rid of your dizziness but failed. "I-I'm not sure."

You tried to walk, to do anything, but the only thing that happened was you becoming very cold and suddenly collapsing to the ground in the middle of Mike's bedroom, the room still snowing and you still very much so cold.

Darkness was all you saw behind your shut eyelids and no matter how much you told yourself to open your eyes, it was to no avail because they stayed sealed.

You could still basically move around in your head though as you watched the creature that gave you these powers begin to walk towards you in the darkness. (Eleven wannabe who? Lol sorry reader).

"What's happening to me?" You asked the creature who just gave a Cheshire of a smile.

"You're evolving." It said.

You cocked your head in confusion. "The hell you talking about? I'm not planning on moving forward in life with these powers."

The creature kept smiling as it gave a light shrug.  "They're all hesitant at first."

It began to walk away from you but you called back out to it, beckoning for it to come back because you needed to know more about what was happening to your body.

"Wait!"

It turned back around. "Yes?"

With a clear of your throat, you began asking your questions that you had.

"What's happening to my body? Who is 'they'? Why did you pick me to become this monster?"

The monster only stared back at you blankly with its frosty colored eyes before sighing out a response.

"You're evolving which basically means all the anger you've felt for fourteen years of your life is coming to the surface without you being able to control it. You'll be fully turned into the monster you've always had deep down inside of you. They are the other kids I've evolved. They're all out there somewhere but that's a story for another day, and another time. I chose you because I could just see the anger dripping off of you. With what? Bullies like Stacey and her goons? Nice job, by the way, with the whole 'icing her to a wall' work. Well done." It complimented.

You were astonished and shocked at what it had just said. "Are you sure I can't fight this?"

"You can try, dear, but the people who usually fight, usually end up dying in the end. It's like war. Not all the good ones come back."

You stared up at the creature with small tears floating at the brim of your bottom eyelid. "I just wanted to be normal."

"Oh, we all want to be something. But not everyone gets to be who they wanna be. Some have to deal with the consequences of life and you just so happen to be one."

You shook your head. "No. I'm a fighter. I'll fight this off."

The creature sinisterly smiled. "Good luck with that. Don't try and get yourself killed now, doll. In the end, maybe this is what you need to really become."

"Maybe you really need to let loose all of that anger and become the monster you were all along."
