One Year Later. . .
The Wheeler's basement was something that was immediately recognizable and intriguing. The basement was filled with boxes and boxes of things from Mike or Nancy's childhood. But this was the hangout place that the boys came here for. This was their own lair. They don't remember how they had decided to be there. Maybe it was from how loud they were and maybe Mrs. Wheeler couldn't take it? But whatever it was, they loved it. The basement for these four boys was simple; Dungeons and Dragons. This game had changed their lives when Mike Wheeler got it from Lucas Sinclair for Christmas. Now, almost every weekend, they played D&D to fantasized about their lives as heroes. But tonight, that would change all of it. Mike began their last journey for the boys before their worlds would change.
"There is something lurking in the darkness. Something hungry for blood," Mike exclaimed in a serious voice, his eyes glaring at the three boys around him. On his right was Lucas Sinclair, a small but fierce friend who cares about his friends after the divorce of his parents. On his left was Dustin Henderson, his chubby appearance and his disappearing two front teeth,that were claimed to be from his disability, made people believe that he wasn't the smartest kid in his class, but he was. And lastly, in the middle was Will Byers, Mike's best friend. Will was small for his age with maple, brown hair that was dressed into a bowl cut. His beautiful, hazel eyes and expression made him look pure and innocent, which he was. Will never swore, did anything bad, or be mean towards others. He was the good kid in the group, the person that most people wanted to be.
"What is it?" Will asked in a curious voice, his eyes staring at Mike with the excitement of being the cleric of the group.
"We're so fucking screwed if it's the Mind Flayer," Dustin exclaimed in worry.
"It's not the Mind Flayer," Lucas exclaimed. "It's most likely going to be the Demogorgen or something,"
"Which is also shit for us, Lucas!"
"The monster comes out through the darkness, its' golden eyes staring at you as it is-" Mike exclaimed as he slammed a figure on the board, shaking the table dangerously. The figure was a tall figure with the head of a spider and somewhat of an octopus. "The Mind Flayer!"
The three boys erupt in a groan, knowing that this would be their end. Dustin yells to Lucas with his voice cracking. "I told you so!"
"Shut up!" Lucas snapped in annoyance.
"The Mind Flayer is getting impatient! Will what's your action?!" Mike exclaimed in a loud and sonuous voice, becoming impatient with his friends.
"I don't know!" Will said in a panic. He had never beaten the Mind Flayer before and by his panic he had forgotten what he could do to stop it.
