“Oh! Mrs. Plum, Good evening, darling. Have you seen the news last night? It’s all over social media right now. Three teenage girls all jumped from their school rooftop, but before that, they placed hidden cameras all over the school.”

Blackie, the demon, saw the neighbor calling out his personal cook for another hour talking session. Seeing as to how Plum quickly threw down her gloves and small weapon, he only assumed she can never say no to this lady. The only solution that can explain this is that she has slightly more power than this family does.

Not really caring about titles, since their neighborhood houses look awfully small. He just rolled over where the sun was blazing its beams on the patch of pink, fragrance-less flowers. While relaxed, Damion decided it would be better to cover him up in dried-up, cold dirt. Of course, not agreeing to that choice, he decided to run around the small backyard, away from Damion the “sand monster”, as to how he was calling himself that day. 

Unable to run inside and no longer able to avoid the dirt since that asshole shut the door to keep the cold out. Blackie had no other choice but to jump onto the brick fence and violently cuddle Mrs. Nisha, to indicate that he wasn’t interested in getting dirty.

The neighbor, pushing blackie to the side, showed Plum her phone. Explaining how it's causing the schools now to be strict with their students. Blackie, being intrigued by this, recalls he cast a death spell onto three girls. Proudly wagging his tail he peeked at the magical device, Mrs. Nisha held in her hands, he was able to see landmarks of this human high school. Some images she was swiping to the left showed some angles were facing the ground, while others faced the roof.

“One of the girls placed two cameras in the girl’s bathroom window. On the fifth floor, the other on the first floor. The others were hidden near a tall tree and on the ground of the cafeteria. The last one was facing the library and the second was on a private residential rooftop.”

Not understanding what cameras are, he quietly listened, while pushing Damion away.

“These girls were famous for posting crazy videos that they found in the city an hour from here. They were getting paid for it, too. Who knew that they would post something so horrible like this. I mean, I heard in the market that kids your son’s age also watch their videos during school time.”

Mrs. Nisha leaned onto the ledge of the brick wall, squeezing blackie in a little. Looked at Damion to quickly turn her serious gaze onto Plum.

“Darling, they all jumped exactly when the fifth school bell rang, right when the second group of kids was heading to lunch. From the same rooftop, the girls jumped. The eldest fell to the North, the youngest to the west, and the last one towards the east. They had their phones strapped on them, and the last camera was placed to show the girls’ reactions to the whole thing.”

“MEOOOOOOOOO-ch!”

Startled, everyone looked at the crying cat. Damion was yanking on his cat's tail. Plum, trying to ignore the crying cat that is clinging onto her and her dirty crying child. Sighing, she apologized to Mrs. Nisha, who also has had enough of them. Grabbing them both by the collar, she shook as much dirt she can and placed them inside the house. Both the cat and child felt defeated at that point of humiliation.

“No. Wha-  No! What are you doing bringing them back into the house? Look at how dirty they are, hose down that demon outside before bringing him in, at least. Look at the kid, why did you let him play with dirt. Don’t you know how disgusting that is?”

Placing both the cat and child down, she sweetly smiled at her family. Instructing him to place him in the tub before she came back inside. The father, snickering after his sweet Plum who slammed the door shut in his face, looked at Damion. Inhaling his cigarette before burning it out, leaned back to his elbows to puffed smoke onto his child's face.

“Damion, you’re a good boy, right? Tell me where mommy keeps the money. So I can go play with my friends tonight. I’m feeling extra lucky that I can bring back double tonight. When I win, I’ll buy you that big stuffed cat from the city.”

Upon hearing that his father was going to bring back something for Damion, he quickly ran behind the washer and reached his arm to reveal a beaten shoebox. Hugging his father, he sprung up with glee while waving goodbye to one another. Blackie the Demon Felt annoyed to have this small human near him until he’s able to fully recover his powers.
