3rd POV

The dark basement of the Wheeler's house was cast in dim light as a group of friends sat around a small card table, they had a board spread out in front of them. The hissing of sprinklers could be heard from outside.

"Do you hear that?" Mike said playing as the dungeon master. "Listen..."

"We're gonna die," Y/N mumbles. She messes with her white hair.

"Something is coming, something hungry..." Mike continues. "Hungry for blood."

"A shadow grows on the wall behind you, swallowing you in darkness... It's almost here."

"What is it?" Will says fearfully.

"What if it's the Demogorgon?" Dustin says. "We'll be in deep shit if it's the Demogorgon."

"It's not the Demogorgon," Lucas sighs.

"It's so the Demogorgon," Y/N laughs. Mike waits for them to settle down before speaking again.

"AN ARMY OF TROGLODYTES CHARGE INTO THE CHAMBER!" Mike throws six winged figurines onto the board. "Their tails drum the floor. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

"Troglodytes?!" Dustin and Y/N scream in unison.

"Toldja," Lucas says.

"Mhmm," Y/N rolls her eyes. Mike looks over his shoulder, his eyes widen.

"WAIT! Do you hear that" He says cupping his ear. "BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! That sound, it didn't come from the troglodytes!" He looks around the room, the air growing tense.

"No. It came from something else..." He says staring down the players. He slams a two-headed figure onto the table.

"DEMOGORGON!" Y/N shouts. The room goes silent for a minute.

"We're in deep shit," Dustin sighs.

"Will, your action?" Mike asks. Will shudders lightly, god he wishes it wasn't his turn.

"I- I don't- I don't know!" He sighs.

"Fireball his a-" Lucas starts

"I'd have to roll a thirteen or higher!" Will shouts.

"Too risky," Y/N says.

"Cast a protection spell," Dustin finishes.

"Don't be a wimp! Fireball him!" Lucas says.

"Protection Spell," Y/N hums.

"The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering, it stomps towards you. BOOM!" Mike yells.

"FIREBALL HIM WILL!" Lucas screams at the poor boy.

"Another step! BOOM!" Mike warns.

"Cast Protection," Dustin and Y/N continue to pester Will.

"It roars in anger!"
