K, so I actually wrote this way back in October, but I didn’t want to post it during the anniversary and then I forgot once that was all over with. But since it’s apparently GodMod’s bday, I figured I might as well.
BTW, for anyone who’s wondering: Danny is an r!Robbie.
Thinking back, it’s ridiculously easy to pinpoint the exact
moment all this demon nonsense started.Picture this: I’m 10 years old. Just old enough to start
being curious about demons despite being afraid, and just young enough not to
realize that the two aren’t mutually exclusive.Back then, my best friend was a girl named Alexis. She
was… different than most of the people I knew at that time.See, Alexis lived two streets away from my own, in an area
most people referred to as ‘Creepville’. To be honest, it was a fairly accurate
title. The houses were from straight out of a horror movie – all Victorian and
in various stages of decay. Alexis’ house in particular looked like it was
haunted… and it probably was. Needless to say, the place was pretty popular
on Halloween. Not so much the rest of the year.Her parents didn’t really help either. Lisa and Fredrick –
who always insisted I call them by their first names – were eccentric, wealthy,
and incredibly distant. Alexis was almost always over at my house, because
otherwise she was sitting in her room alone while her parents worked in the
basement. The two of them had devoted their lives to studying the Transcendence
and the supernatural. I’m not sure what they studied exactly, but I know it was
pretty complicated stuff.Regardless, I didn’t really care about it back then. In my
opinion, Lisa and Fredrick made good chocolate chip cookies, so who cared if
they were weird and stand-offish and studied strange things?
