Ashlyn sat next to Will and Lucas with smile in front of her. They were all playing D&D like they usually did on weekends before they had to go home, and quite frankly, they were really good at it.
"Something is coming. Something hungry for blood." Mike told them, his tone of voice unknowingly sending chills down Ashlyn's spine.
"What if it's the Demogorgon?" The boy that sat on Will's other side, Dustin, spoke, a worried look plastered on his face.
Will leaned back in his seat and mentally groaned at the mention of the Demogorgon. "Oh, Jesus, were so screwed if it's the Demogorgon." Dustin leaned his head into his hands.
"It's not the Demogorgon." Lucas said, certain that they were gonna be fine and that Dustin was just being overdramatic.
Mike smiled at the interaction they were having and slammed down a figure on the table. "An army of troglodytes charge into the chamber!"
All four other players smiled softly at the scare. "Troglodytes?" Dustin asked with a grin.
"Told ya." Lucas laughed along with the others. Ashlyn giggled softly as she watched Will look towards Mike. "Wait a minute."
Ashlyn cursed mentally as Mike began to act like he was listening to something. "Did you hear that?" Ashlyn stared intently at Mike's eyes that were barely sticking up behind his binder.
"That...that sound?" He tsked softly and looked between the four other players. "Boom. Boom. Boom!" He slammed his fist onto the table, making all the boys around the blonde jump in fright.
"That didn't come from the troglodytes. No, that... that came from something else." Ashlyn crossed her arms as Mike pulled another figure out and slammed it another the table.
"The Demogorgon!" He shouted at the group, making them groan. "Fuck!" Ashlyn cursed as she covered Will's ears. Will laughed and pushed her hands away.
"We're in deep shit." Dustin sighed and ran a hand over his face. "Will, your action!" Mike pushed Will.
Will shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know!" Will ran a hand through his hair. "Fireball him!" Will turned to the boy with a dumbfounded look. "I'd have to roll a 13 or higher!"
"No! Cast protection! You have a better chance!" Ashlyn yelled at the boy. "Too risky! Cast protection!" Dustin agreed with Ashlyn as
"Don't be a pussy. Fireball him!" Lucas pressured Will. Will darted his eyes between Lucas and Dustin as they bickered. He looked at Ashlyn with a look, and she nodded.
"Cast protection." Dustin argued. Mike slammed his hands onto the table, making the group of preteens look at him. "The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering! It stinks towards you. Boom!"
