Theodore Hammond; a weird, bullied twelve year old with even weirder friends. He's everything but normal, unless normal is having a god for a mother, in that case, he's super normal.
On top of him having to hide his earthy powers from his friends, h...

The crickets were chirping as six boys gathered around a table in the Wheelers' basement.
The air was tense and smelled of chips, pizza, and soda.
"Something is coming... something hungry for blood." Mike speaks in true dramatic Michael Wheeler fashion. "A shadow grows on the wall behind you. Swallowing you in darkness."
Theo leans forward in anticipation. "We're s-so fucked." Archie muttered nervously, eyes darting around the room, scared something would pop out at them. "It is almost here."
Will, similar to Theo, leans forward in anxiety and eagerness. "What is it?" He asks curiously.
"What if it's the Demogorgon?" Dustin asked, looking around at his friends. Will flops back in defeat. "Oh Jesus, we're so screwed if it's the Demogorgon." The curly haired boy says in dismay, his forehead leaning into his hand.
"It's not the Demogorgon." Lucas reassured. "I du-dunno, Mike has that l-look on his face." Archie said, pulling on the collar of his shirt, a nervous habit of his.
Mike breaks his mysterious and tense character, "What face?" He asked, his face scrunching in confusion. "That face!" Archie exclaimed, pointing at him.
"Guys! Can we get back to the problem at hand here. It could be the Demogorgon!" Theo shouts over his friends bickering, drawing them back to the game. "We're wasting precious time here, people!" He slams on the table for extra effect.
Mike shakes his head, slamming a figure on the table, back into his story mode dramatics. "An army of Troglodytes charges into the chamber!" Mike exclaims as Lucas throws his hands up and leans back with a smug "I-told-you-so" expression on his face.
"Troglodytes?" Dustin smiles. Theo relaxed back into his seat with a breath of relief. "Oh th-thank fuck." Archie mutters with a small smile. "Told ya." Lucas said, smiling stupidly while they all laugh in knowing they're safe.
"I will h-hit you." Archie threatened, staring at the boy next to him in annoyance. Lucas threw up his hands in mock defense, "I'm just saying. I knew it wouldn't be the Demogorgon—"
"Wait a minute." Mike's quiet voice cuts through the air, stopping Lucas and Archie in their back and forth arguing. The raven haired boy looks to the side, a concerned look on his face. "Do you hear that?"
Three boys shift uneasily in their seat, sharing looks. It was just the game... right? Theo gripped his necklace in his palm tightly, Archie's hand went to his belt, and Lucas anxiously fiddled with his ring. All of them looking around for any possible threats.
If any of the others noticed, they didn't comment on it.
"That—that sound..." Mike continued. "Boom. Boom.." He trailed off, getting more forceful with each "boom."
