Chapter 10

It was dinner time and Melissa and Bruno were missing. Everyone was worried, except for Abuela, who was happy for a different reason. She was hoping to catch them in the act so the deal would be voided.

Abuela: Luisa, could you go find our guest and Brunito, please.

Luisa: Yes of course Abuela.

Then she started looking for them everywhere, starting with Tio Bruno's room, nope, then then the guest room, nope, but the window was open. Then she went down to the kitchen, to the door, to the barn. On the way to the barn, the door was swaying back and forth. She went in and saw her Tio Bruno with Melissa on him.

Luisa: There you two are, we were worried sick about you guys. Why were you guys in here?

Melissa: Oh, (Yawns) howdy Luisa, sorry we lost track of the time.

Bruno: It started raining again so we ran in here, and we lost track of the time.

Luisa: You guys didn't um… you know…

Bruno: Um, no we didn't, see…

Then he pulls off the blankets to show that they were fully clothed.

Luisa: Ok, but Abuela wants us in.

Bruno: Ok, we'll be there.

She nodded and left. Then the door to the barn was kicked in. the Demon rushed towards Melissa.

Demon: Melissa, come quick! Your animals are going crazy!

Melissa: Wait, what?! The two familiars?

Demon: No the other two or three.

Melissa: What the Hell did ya do?!

Demon: I didn't do shit! I don't know your fat ass orange cat just went ballistic when he caught sight of me. Then the scrawny drug addict one went off on me, and when I passed that cactus cat in the cage started hissing at me so I went to go find you.

Melissa: Did anyone catch ya?!

Demon: I just jumped out the Fucking window!

Melissa: Ok calm down, Ah'Il go and tame them, Bruno ya can go and tell them Ah'I might be a little late…. Ta dinner ah'I mean.

Bruno: What do you mean about…oh, they'll think you would be pregnant.

Melissa: Yep, ya got it sugar.

Bruno: So, you're pregnant?!

Melissa: Hun, do ya know how that works, and besides we haven't done anythin' yet!

Demon: You better not have, or Satan so help me, your balls are mine!

Melissa: We haven't dad! Just go back ta the room, ah'll meet ya there Brunito ah'll meet ya at dinner ok, just go, please.

Bruno left first. Then Melissa and the Demon. The Demon climbed casita as Melissa walked passed the kitchen, towards the stairs, and to the guestroom. She then opened the door to see Pluto and Itchy doing fine, but Hans was hissing in the corner of the cage, and Diablo and Chico freaking out in the corner of the room while the Demon was on the bed.

Melissa: Ok, seriously what the Hell did ya do ta mah animals?! They normally don't act this way… well maybe Diablo, ironically, but Chico this is kind of a first.

Demon: Nothing Babycakes, I promise, if I look at them weird they freak the Fuck out!

Melissa: Well, Dad then don't look at them weird!

Demon: Then what the Fuck am I supposed to look at, the Fucking ceiling, the Fucking walls, what?!

Melissa: No, just… Ah'I have books.

Demon: Nudie books?

Melissa: Dad! No, but ah'I do have a few romance novels, but most of them are manga, a few comics, and fantasy…

Demon: Any sci-fi?

Melissa: Maybe, but probably the ones ya're not used ta, ya been dead for 27 years. Oh, ah'I might have some books that… ugh, Uncle Craig gave meh…

Demon: Why did you say it like that?

Melissa: (Sigh) It's not really important right now Dad Ah'm late for dinner, ah'I have ta go now.

After she left, the Demon looked through the tote and found a small red envelope labeled to Melissa. He opened it, and read it. His heart sunk as he read the entirety of the letter. He then rushed after Melissa. She was halfway down the stairs before he caught up to her.

Demon: (Whisper) Wait! Stop!

Melissa: (Whisper) What?

Demon: (Whisper) Babycakes, there's a letter…Huff, huff.. from your mother… Huff, huff… you got to read.

Then she made it back up the stairs to her room and started reading.
