"Something is coming. Something hungry for blood." Came from the voice of Miranda Wheeler's brother, Mike.
Andi, Mike, Will, Chris, Lucas and Dustin sat around a table in the Wheeler's basement. Andi sat between Will and Chris.
They were in Andi and Mike's basement, 10 hours into their Dungeons & Dragons campaign. They'd spent weeks planning it, and were all excited to finally do it.
Andi was basically bouncing out of her chair at the prospect.
She loved D&D especially because it was her and her friends. Her D&D character was amazing! Will had made it for her when she first started playing. Queen Andi the Talented. Then there was Chris who was, Sir Chris the Intelligent.
"A shadow grows on the wall behind you, swallowing you in darkness." he continued. "It is almost here."
"What is it?" Will asks, leaning forward slightly. All of them knew, however, that Mike would not tell them. At least, not without building up to it dramatically, leaving them in suspense.
"What if it's the Demogorgon?" Dustin asked. Chris rolled his eyes, as Will groaned and leaned back in his chair and Andi giggled. Dustin always thought it was the Demogorgon. "Oh, Jesus, we're so screwed if it's the Demogorgon."
"It's not always going to be a Demogorgon." Chris told Dustin.
"You don't know that." Dustin said to him, widening his eyes, causing Andi to giggle again.
"It's not the Demogorgon." Lucas stressed, shaking his head. "Why do you always guess the Demogorgon?" Dustin opened his mouth to bite back a reply, but Mike interrupted him.
"An army of troglodytes charge into the chamber!" Mike exclaimed, slamming down the monster's piece. Lucas sat back in triumph, giving Dustin an I-told-you-so look.
"Troglodytes?" their Bard asked in disbelief, with a hint of disappointment.
"Told ya." Lucas said, chuckling afterwards. They all laughed, inwardly relieved that it wasn't anything actually harmful. At least, not as harmful as the Demogorgon.
Andi noticed that her brother was not laughing with them, and immediately dropped her smile.
"Wait a minute." Mike said softly, looking behind him. "Did you hear that? That-that sound?"
"Oh, no." Chris sighed, casting the other members of the party, small glances.
"Boom...boom..." Mike started, looking back forward. Suddenly, he jumped forward and slammed his hands on the table, making them all jump. "Boom!"
He waited a second, making sure he had their attention. "That didn't come from the troglodytes. No, that-that came from something else."
Andi watched Mike for his next move. He swung out his arm, and slammed a piece in the middle of the board.
"The Demogorgon!"
All of them groaned, hitting the table in frustration. Will even dropped his head into his arms.
"We're in deep shit!" Dustin exclaimed.
"Will, your action?" Mike questioned.
"I don't know!" Will said, shaking his head.
"Fireball him!" Lucas said, waving his hands around.
"I'd have to roll a 13 or higher!"
"Too risky." Dustin said. "Cast a protection spell!"
"Don't be a pussy!" Lucas snapped. "Fireball him!"
"Cast. Protection." Dustin urged.
"Just fucking do something!" Chris chimed in.
