Chapter Text
Eddie shouldn't have woken up. He knew that much. He had died in Dustin and Steve's arms after being attacked by the demobats.
Eddie didn't know how long it had been since he died, but if it wasn't long enough to be a rotting corpse, then the creatures of the Upside Down should've eaten him by now. Yet Eddie was awake. Different, but awake.
He soon became aware of the creatures surrounding him in a wide circle, Vecna standing a few feet away from where Eddie was sitting up on the ground. Even if Eddie didn't know how or why he was alive, he knew with absolute certainty it was Vecna's doing. And that was never good.
