《My Short Stories》Chapter 4
Advertisement
The little boy named Alex has seen it in a movie. He thought it was cool and wanted to try it. So when his parents left him alone in the house he decided to do it. He did it exactly like the movie.
Taking some salt from the kitchen he drew a pattern with it. Next, he got the scented candles from his mother's bathroom. He lit them and arranged them around the salt pattern.
Then he stood on one side and started saying random things, whatever he remembered from the movie.
Suddenly a mist of black appeared. He stood there thinking that an angel has appeared. As the mist disappeared, a tall figure emerged. It was wearing a black robe.
"Are you an angel?" Alex asked.
The figure laughed. "Angel? Do I look like an angel?"
"You won't protect me then?" Alex asked innocently.
"Listen here human boy. I am a devil. The opposite of angels. If they here you calling me an angel, they will go crazy." He explained.
"But you can protect me right?" Alex asked.
"You are so small what do you need protection from?" He asked curiously.
"The big boys at school tease me. They beat me up." Alex said.
"Oh, then why don't you tell your parents? I've heard that human parents are very protective of their kids." He said.
"They say that they will beat me up if I tell anyone." Alex said now on the verge of crying. "Please protect me Mr.Devil."
"Since you are the first human to call me in the last 2500 years. I will protect you. As a token of gratitude." He promised.
"Thank you. But you have to hide when my parents come home, ok?" Alex said.

"Don't worry only you can see me since you are the one who called me." Devil explained.
From that day he started to protect Alex and it wasn't long till they became friends.
After a month, Alex's parents hired a new babysitter.
"He is not a difficult kid but sometimes he likes to talk with his imaginary friend." Alex's mother explained to Amy.
"Many kids do that, don't worry." As Alex's mother left Amy decided to go talk to Alex. That's when she noticed the tall black figure behind Alex.
Amy was special since birth. She could see things humans were not supposed to see. She was used to it by now. But she wasn't expecting to see a devil in this house. She was worried for Alex.
So when Alex went to bed she decided to talk to it. "Why are you roaming around this kid?" She asked the devil directly.
"You can see me?" Devil asked suprised.
"Yes and I am warning you to leave this kid alone." Amy threatened him.
The devil chuckled. "There, there, tiny human. You shouldn't threaten me. Alex called me here himself and I will not return to ashes." Saying this the devil disappeared.
'Alex called him?' She thought about it all night. The next day when Amy asked Alex about it he told her the whole story. She was suprised to hear that a devil was protecting a human child.
'Anything is possible in this world.' She thought.

Cheep!?
Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent
