“What do you mean? I- I just-” Mike is about to remind him.

“We need to get out of here and get you somewhere safe, Will.”

Roots threaten to trip him and branches reach out to hit him in the face. The darkness of night certainly doesn’t help either.

Summary
They both slowly walk to the door, making sure their steps make as little noise as possible, with Mike always staying behind Will. Once they reach the door, Will slowly opens it with the head of his gun. The door creaks, making noise. Will and Mike flinch but don’t stop walking.
They step out of the house but leave the door ajar, just in case they need to make a quick escape. Their eyes scan the surroundings, taking in every shadow, every flicker of movement. There’s no sign of any dangerous creature.
Mike and Will both sigh in relief. “Okay... I think there aren’t any creatures out here,” Will says. “Let’s go inside, Mike.” He turns back toward the door, ready to return to the relative safety of the house.
A lot of things happen at once.
OR:
Mike and Will get stuck together in the Upside Down without knowing what to do. (You know, the usual).

Summary
Will swallows down his fear and stares at the door unblinkingly. Kill the monster. Take the risk. Cast fireball. Shoot the gun.
Of course, he hadn’t expected it to come from behind him.
The light burns bright into his retinas. The whole room shakes, wood paneling nearly busting at the seams.
A rolled seven. An unrewarded risk.
The beast’s got him.
