November 6th, 1983
Hawkins, Indiana
Catherine Henderson was sat in the basement of the Wheeler's house, watching her brother, Dustin, and his friends play their game of Dungeons and Dragons.
"Something is coming." Mike, the younger brother of Nancy Wheeler (who was one of Catherine's best friends) said, leading the game. "Something hungry for blood. A shadow grows on the wall behind you, swallowing you in darkness. It is almost here."
Catherine's attention turned back to her book, barely listening to the younger boys. She would be hanging out with Nancy while she waited for her brother but Nancy was too busy talking to their other best friend Barbara over the phone. She wasn't too bothered, she'd be filled in on the conversation the next day and she didn't mind sitting with the boys.
"What is it?" Will Byers asked, the younger brother of one of Catherine's other best friends- Jonathan Byers.
"What if it's the Demogorgon?" Dustin suggested.
"The what?" Catherine asked, lifting her head from her book.
The boys ignored her.
"Oh, Jesus, we're so screwed if it's the Demogorgon." Dustin added.
"It's not the Demogorgon." Lucas told him.
"An army of Troglodytes charge into the chamber!" Mike yelled suddenly, placing something on the board.
Catherine sighed, not understanding a word of what she was hearing, even though she had sat through their games before, and decided to bury herself into her book again.
"Troglodytes?" Dustin questioned.
"Told ya." Lucas chuckled, smug as he had been right about the monster not being a Demogorgon.
The boys chuckle for a moment before Mike whispers, "wait a minute." Catherine looked up from her book for a moment when Mike asked, "did you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Catherine asked, unsure whether or not this mysterious sound was apart of the game. Despite having sat in on many of their games, she still didn't have the best understanding of 'Dungeons and Dragons'.
"That... that sound? Boom... boom..." Catherine rolled her eyes, focusing back on her book just as Mike yelled "Boom!" and slammed his hands on the table. "That didn't come from the Troglodytes. No, that... That came from something else."
The boys all looked at Mike expectantly before he slammed a figure onto the table and exclaimed, "The Demogorgon!" Catherine heard Dustin, Will and Lucas collectively groan in annoyance.
"We're in deep shit." Dustin pointed out.
"Language!" Catherine reminded her brother, although hers was a lot worse, who sent her a glare.
