The Campaign

   It was November 6, 1983, five best friends were in the middle of a ten-hour campaign. "Something's coming" Mike said as he looks up from his book. Everyone leans in anxious on what's gonna happen. "Something is hungry for your blood..." he said as he looks at everyone's face. " A shadow grows on the wall behind you, swallowing you in the darkness." Lola leans in more getting more and more anxious. " It's almost here" He said scaring the party surrounding the table. Will spoke up after a silence asking what it was.

"What if it's the Demogorgon? Dustin asked with fear laced in his voice.

"We're so toasted if it's the Demogorgon." Lola said biting her nails out of her nervous habits.

"It's not the Demogorgon." Lucas said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"An army of troglodytes Charge into the Chamber!" Mike yells as he slammed a piece onto the table.

"Troglodytes?" Lola said confused.

"I told you" Lucas said with a smug look on his face.

It was quiet until Mike started to talk again.

"Wait a minute...Do you hear that?" Mike said making everyone anxious again.

" Tha- that sound..." He said putting everyone on their toes.

"Boom...Boom" He trailed off as he glanced at the party.

"BOOM" Mike yelled slamming his hands on the table making the party jump.

"That didn't come from the troglodytes...No that..." he says looking at the floor.

" That came from somewhere else" He said looking into Will's eyes.

" The Demogorgon!" He yelled slamming the piece down on the board causing Lola's eyes to widen.

"We're in deep shit!" Dustin exclaimed.

"Will what's your action!" Mike yells pressuring the boy.

" I don't know!" Will said feeling pressured.

"Fireball him!" Lucas screamed at Will.

" No he has to roll a thirteen or higher it's too risky." Lola exclaimed looking at Lucas.

" Yea Lolo is right cast a protection spell." Dustin said making Lola nod in agreement.

"Don't be a pussy Will, fireball him!". Lucas said ignoring Dustin and Lola.

" No cast protection." Dustin and Lo said at the same time.

Mike then slams his hands on the table " the Demogorgon is tired of your silly bickering! It stomps towards you.!" Mike yells. "Boom".

Lucas, Lo and Dustin continue to argue.

"Another stomp, boom!" Mike continues yelling at them

"Will cast protection!" Lola yelled

"It roars in anger!" Mike yells even louder than before.

At this point you can't hear what anyone is saying because they're all yelling at once.

"Fireball!" Will yells as he throws the dice on the table.

"Shit." Lola muttered as she started to look for the dice with the party.

"Where is it!" Lucas yelled.

"I don't know!" Dustin yelled back at him.

"Is it a thirteen?" Lo asked everyone.

"I don't know!" Will yelled back.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Dustin said to himself holding his head in his hands.

"Mike!" Karen yelled from upstairs. Nobody heard her since everyone was yelling and looking for the dice.

"Mike!" She yelled again opening the door this time.

"Mom we're in the middle of our campaign!" Mike yelled back at his mom.

"You mean the end?" Karen said sassily. "It's fifteen after." She said pointing at her wrist.

"Oh my god you idiot!" Lucas yelled at Will.

"Please just twenty more minutes." Mike pleaded.

"No it's a school night." She said as she proceeded to what she was doing.

" I just put Holly to bed. Finish next weekend." She said while cleaning the dishes.

"But it'll ruin the flow!" Mike whined.

"Micheal!" She yelled.

"Ooooo you in troubleeeee." Lola said in a teasing tone making Mike roll his eyes and the others laugh.

"I'm serious mom, this campaign took two weeks to plan." Mike said

"How were we supposed to know it was gonna take ten hours?" He added

"You've been playing for ten hours?" Karen said unaware of this knowledge.

Mike walked upstairs to get his dad to try to agree.

"Dad don't you think tha-" Mike said but was soon cut off by his dad.

"I think you should listen to your mother." Mr. wheeler said not looking up from the T.V.

Mike was about to say something else but stopped after will saying he found the dice. Mike ran back downstairs to overhear Will talking to Lucas.

"Does a seven count?" Will said

"It was a seven?" Lucas asked

"Did Mike see it? Then it doesn't count." He stated to Will

Everyone started rushing backing up all their stuff.

"Hey does anyone want this?" Dustin asked them raising the pizza box in the air. Everyone said no and he said he was going to ask Nancy if she wanted the slice.

They were all outside waiting for Dustin until he finally came out.

"There's something wrong with your sister." Dustin told Mike.

"What are you talking about?' Mike asked confused.

"She has a stick up her butt." Dustin said back making Lola snort.

"Yeah, it's because she's dating Lolo's brother." Lucas said making her wince at the mention of her brother's name.

Her and Steve used to be very close, you would never see one without the other. But that all changed when Steve reached high school and started hanging around his current friends. Lola never liked them they were always mean and rude to her for no reason.

"Yeah, she's turning into a real jerk." Dustin said pulling Lola away from her thoughts.

"She's always been a real jerk." Mike said.

"No she used to be cool." Lola said remembering the fun times she had with her.

"Yea like that one time she dressed up as a elf for our Elder Tree campaign. Dustin said agreeing with her.

"Yea four years ago!" Mike exclaimed.

"Just saying" Dustin said as him and Lucas started driving away.

"Later" Lucas said.

Will then turned to Mike telling him it was a seven. "The Demogorgon it got me."

"Will do you think I can crash at your place tonight because it's already really late." Lola asked Will.

"Yea I'm sure my mom won't mind." Will said making her smile.

"Thanks, See you tomorrow Mike." Lola said and Will waved before they both drove away.

Little did they know that would be the last time they'll see their friends for a while.

AN: I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter because I was stressing out on how I was gonna plan this.
