YOU SIT BESIDE ELEVEN WITH FURROWED BROWS AS SHE GOES INTO HER MIND AGAIN, PROBABLY WATCHING HOPPER.you could feel something wrong, something was going to go wrong soon.your head snaps over to the door as you hear footsteps rapidly approach.you jump up as the door slams open, swat officers with shields barging through, shouting things.eleven snapped out of her trance, you quickly take tanjiro and you both run up to the window.a hand is placed on either of your shoulders, you both spin around"let's go" kali whispers, you both nod.you all sprint across the hallway and up some stairs."don't move!" the guards shout along with noises of guns pointing at you all.you all continue, running up the stairs."the hell's going on?" axel questions as you all run in."they found us!" kali says, pulling you and eleven along."jesus! jesus christ!""no, no, no. shh" kali hushes axel quietly and pushes down his arms as he takes out a gun.kali holds her hands out, signalling you all to be quiet.you all go completely silent as the police walk into the room, keeping even breathing to a minimum."spread left" an officer says."right"you lean back, hugging axel's arm along with eleven as an officer walks right passed, tanjiro staying glued to your chest.kali signals you all to follow her and you all quietly run after her, down the stairs and out the door as fast as you could."let's go! let's go! now!" funshine orders.your eyes go slightly wide as a couple officers who were parked outside yell, axel shoots at them."jane, [name], come on! come on, hurry!"you and eleven run with the group as the officers shoot at you all."look out! look out!" you all duck behind the van."do something, kal. do something!"kali does something that makes the officers stop coming, you breathe out quietly.they all load into the van, you and eleven exchange a look, stopping by the door.kali turns back to you both, "jane, [name], get in"you look down, eleven shakes her head."i'm sorry. i'm sorry, but i have to go back. our friends.. our friends are in danger""this isn't time for a talk. we got to go right now!" axel says."your mother sent you both here for a reason, remember? we belong together. there's nothing for you back there. they cannot save you, jane, [name]"you both shake your head, "no. but we can save them"you both walk away."jane, [name]. jane, [name]!" kali shouts as you both continue to walk off."jane, [name]! jane, [name]!!" kali shouts after you both.you run into an alley, away from the van and the gun shots of the officers, you heave tanjiro over your shoulder.you and eleven both stop when you were far enough away, leaning back against a wall.you look down, squeezing tanjiro in your arms.eleven hugs you tightly, you hug her back, rubbing her head.you knew eleven was probably more attached to kali then you were, and it probably hurt her more to leave than it did you.after hugging for a while, you both left for a bus stop and quickly boarded a bus back to hawkins.you and eleven both look out the window as the bus drives along smoothly, watching the rain drop down."you alright sweethearts?"you both look from the window over to the left.an older woman smiles at the two of you from the other row."you were lookin' a little forlorn there. you mind if i join you?" she gestures at the spare third seat beside you.she picks up her stuff, taking a seat beside you."you two are awfully young to be travelling alone, aren't you?" she questions, eleven looks to the side.she chuckles a bit, "that's a cute teddy you got there" she gestures to tanjiro, you smile slightly."well, you two are quite the chatterboxes. so, where you headed?"eleven stays silent."to your parents, i hope?"eleven looks back at her, "i'm going to my friends"the lady nods a bit."i'm going home"you both smile a bit.
