His Mother, The Nun
It was very similar to stranger things. We were in a weird desert town and were with a little kid. i think cellphones aren't working or could be detected by “the nun” so we weren't using them. The kid we were with was able to shapeshift into a slug/crab thing but it wasn't a cool special power. That was his natural form and his mother, the nun, found that very very special and he escaped her. He was on the run. you and i had him and had to leave everything behind and had no money but were wanted by the law. She caught up with us in a casino we were hiding out in. and we didn't know but a far aways off… he saw her and suddenly looked very scared whole grotesque face and he paused and far away we saw her and she saw him and she made long eye contact with me and it felt eternal and timeless like i couldn't move and would never move again frozen in time them she screamed like SHE was terrified like a horrible scream he turned into his original form and you followed
