Mike's POV

It was a normal night. My friends and I were down in my basement playing the greatest game of all time. Dungeons And Dragons. 

"So, What will you do, Will?" I asked peaking my head out from the board that was blocking my view in front of me. 

"Do a fireball!" Lucas yelled. "I would have to roll a thirteen or higher," Will whined getting frustrated. "That's way too risky. Do a protection spell." Dustin said.

"Will, don't be a pussy, just do a fireball!" Lucas yelled moving his hands up in the air. "Do a protection spell!" Dustin yelled trying to make Will pick.

I slammed my hands against the table. They all got quiet and looked at me. "The Demogorgon is tired of hearing your stupid human bickering!" I yelled. 

They all looked at each other then back at me. "Fireball him!" "Boom!" "Protection spell!" "Boom!" "Fireball!" Will grabs the dice. "And...Fireball!" He yelled letting go of the dice.

The dice fell off the table and onto the floor. All our eyes widened. "Where'd it go?" Everyone asked. "I don't know," Will said getting down on his knees and searching.

I got down and looked underneath the stairs. "is it a thirteen?" Dustin asked. "How are we suppose to know if we haven't found it?!?!?" Everyone said at Dustin.

The basement door opened. "Mike!" My mom yelled. I looked up at her. "What mom? We're kind of in the middle of a campaign." I said. 

"Oh, I think you meant the end cause it's fifteen after." She said. "Noooo!" Lucas whined. I got up and raced up the stairs. "Mom, Wait, Please make it twenty more minutes," I said.

"I put holy to bed so that means it's time for you guys to go to bed. Plus there's next weekend." She said cleaning the dinner plates. 

"But that will ruin the flow," I said. "No, Mike." She said. "But this took two weeks to plan." She rolled her eyes and made a weird face.

"How was I suppose to know it was going to take ten hours to play," I said looking down. I saw her feet turn to me. I looked up at her. "You've been playing for ten hours?" She asked.

I inhaled sharply then turned to my dad. "Dad, don't you think mom is being unfa-" "I think you should listen to your mother." He said cutting me off. I put my hands up. 

"What the fuck!?!?!?!?!?" I thought in my head. I sighed angrily and went back to the guys. I saw Lucas and Will come up but no Dustin.

 "Where's Dustin?" I asked. "Probably eating pizza," Lucas said making his way to the garage door. Will and I followed him. 

We went out to the garage and waited for Dustin. Will got on his bike and just waited. Dustin then busted through the door. "There's something wrong with your sister," Dustin said.

I sighed. "What are you talking about?" I asked rolling my eyes. "She has a stick up her butt." He said getting on his bike. I cringed at what he said.

 "Probably cause she's dating that douche called Steve," Lucas said. "She's turned into one cold jerk," Dustin said. 

"She's always been like that!" I said. "Nah, She used to be cool. Remember when she dressed up as an elf for our older campaigns." He said turning on his lights. Everyone did the same. 

"Yeah, like four years ago!" I yelled since Dustin was biking away. Lucas started biking away too. Will pedaled beside me and stopped.

 "It was a seven," Will said. I turned to him and looked down. "Hm?" I said confused. "The roll...It was a seven...the Demogorgon got me..." He said sighing a little.

He pushed a little and started pedaling. "See you tomorrow." He said already leaving my driveway. Right when he left the garage light's started to flicker. I looked up.

They came back on and didn't flicker. I looked at the switch. I walked over to it and turned it off. I turned towards the door and walked towards it.

 I opened it and before I shut it I looked over one last time before shutting it. I sighed and made my way to my bedroom leaving the mess we made downstairs.

Will's POV

I caught up with Dustin And Lucas. We were just riding like normal. We were soon getting to Lucas stop. He looked back at us making him swerve a bit. "Night ladies." He said and turned. 

"Kiss your mom night for me," Dustin said. We continued riding. Dustin looked over at me. "Race to my place? Winner gets a comic." He said. My eyes lit up. "Any comic?" I asked.

"Well, yeah." He said. I stood up on my pedals trying to go faster. "Hey!" Dustin said. I smiled. "Hey, I didn't say go!" He yelled at me from afar. I went down the hill on the road.

"I'm going to kill you!" He yelled angrily since I was in the lead. "You're just mad cause I'm in the lead!" I yelled back at him. "Get back here!" He yelled. 

"I'll take your X-men one through four!" I yelled. I raised up my hands in victory. I kept pedaling to my house. I soon started slowing down a bit. 

I soon turned going the shortcut way I always went through. I was peddling and I then I felt like something was off. When I thought that my light on my bike went out. 

I looked down and made a weird look. I tapped on the light and it turned back on. I looked up and saw some tall in front of me. Swerved off the road and landed face first in the ditch.

I groaned and got up looking to see if it was a person. I saw something and it was not any kind of human I've ever seen. It started making weird noises and coming closer to me. I got up and ran.

Thankfully I was pretty close to my house. I ran through the trees and got on the long driveway to my house.

 I ran up to the front and got my key out. I unlocked the door and opened it quickly. I slammed the door shut and locked it.

 I turned to see my dog barking. I ran over to him "Shh." I said making my way to my mom's room.

 "Mom?" I said opening her bedroom door open. She was nowhere. "Jonathan?" I yelled Running to his bedroom door. He was nowhere either. 

I didn't hear anything besides the dog barking. I ran to the living room window. I pulled the blinds down and looked closely.

 I saw whatever was chasing me and it saw me too. I backed away scared and ran to the phone. I grabbed it and dialed 9-1-1. 

I grabbed the cord and messed with it out of fear. The ringing stopped. "Hello?" I said. Nothing. "Hello?" I said.

 I then heard whatever was outside following me. My dog then started whimpering. I walked slowly and peeked over the corner.

 I saw a shadow come from the window to the window on the door. The lock on the door started moving. I stared at it a bit until it fully unlocked. 

I got even more spooked and dropped the phone. I ran to the back door. I unlocked it and ran to the shed in the back. 

I shut the door and ran towards the gun in the back. I grabbed it and set it down on the table and grabbed ammo. I got nervous and frightened and dropped it. 

I quickly picked it up. I then heard footsteps get closer. The footsteps got louder. I aimed the gun at the door. There was no now. 

I could now just here my heart beating. The noise then came back. It wasn't in front of me though. It was behind me. I slowly turned around. I saw whatever it was. 

The dim light was now becoming brighter. I took a deep breath. I was stuck in fear. I couldn't move or anything.

 It opened it's mouth and screamed. It grabbed me and pulled me close to it. everything soon turned black.
