Her.

Chapter 2

Celeste Huxley’s POV

My Mom and Dad rushed inside my room.

“Why? What happened?” My dad asked.

My Mom came beside me and hugged me.

“T-There’s a Boy...Under my...bed, Dad”

My Dad checked the space under my bed while holding his g*n. “There’s no one here,” He said that he checked the windows but everything was locked.

“See, it’s impossible, baby. Maybe it’s just a dream,” My Mom said.

“But Mom, I woke up because I heard someone talking, and when I took a peek under my bed, there was a Cute Boy.”

“Oww, really darling? A cute Boy?” My Dad teased me while wiggling his eyebrows.

“Dad! It’s not like that!” I pouted. And they just laughed at me.

“It’s really impossible darling, this is the first night that you slept alone, so maybe you’re just imagining things.”

“And if you want, you can sleep with us tonight,” My Mom added.

“No, but thank you, Mom. Maybe what you said is right” was then I smiled at them.

“Okay, we’ll go now,” Dad said.

“Sweet dreams, darling.” Mom said and smiled at me.

Then they closed the door. I forced myself to sleep but I couldn’t stop thinking about what I saw. I know that it is true. It’s not imagination. Wow! There’s some creature under my bed. Yipee, a smile crept onto my face.

Someone’s POV

She’s still shouting until someone enters. I can see their feet, they’re already adults. Maybe they are the little girl’s parents. Bullshit! Her Dad has a g*n.

I fit myself at the edge of the bed so that he won’t see me. I could hear them only talking until they became silent. I moved closer for me to hear them. I saw them close the door and turn the lights off.

Thank Gosh they’re gone. It’s really hard to fit myself under this bed. That kid! I almost got caught.

What if I scare this girl so they’ll throw this bed away? Why does it have to be the color pink?! Grr! It’s pissing me off.

I won’t go out for a while. I got caught for the first time. Tss!

Celeste Huxley’s POV

“Baby! Let’s go, you might get late for school!” My Mom shouted.

I placed my things inside my bag hurriedly. My eraser fell but when I looked down to pick it up, It was gone.

“Hey! The school bus is here.”

“Wait Mom, my eraser,”

“I felt it and it disappeared.”

“Just let it and go now, I’ll find it later,”

__________________________________

When I got home, I took all my assignments out. I just remembered that my eraser was missing.

“Mom! Did you find my eraser?”

“Sorry, but I didn’t say it when I cleaned earlier,”

I still have coloring assignments. That’s why I searched for them first.

“Where are my other things? They’re all missing.”

Every single day, some of my things started to disappear, but the weirdest thing was when I accidentally dropped my cookie on the floor--I was about to pick it up, but it disappeared. It was already late at that time so I freaked out.

I ran to my bed and hid under the blanket while sitting. I saw Saver, the teddy bear that my Dad gave me, and hugged it.

“Please, Mr. Saver save me from the monster,”

I lay down and covered myself in the blanket, forcing myself to fall asleep.

Until I heard someone eating. I nervously got my flashlight and took a peek under my bed.

I saw that there was really a creature under my bed. *Buugssh* “Ouch!!” The monster hit her head. He looked at me. He was surprised and went out.

I stared at him for a moment until I noticed that my mouth was wide open and smiling. Our gazes met.

He was about to leave but I stopped him.

“Wait!” He suddenly stopped.

Someone’s POV

I don’t know why I stopped. I was confused. She looked at me with those eyes full of amazement.

I looked at her blankly. We were both sitting on the bed when she slowly moved closer.

“So you’re not a monster?” The little girl said.

“This handsome face? A monster?” I was surprised because I talked back.

“My Dad said that the creature living under the bed is a monster.” She said while her hands were slowly getting closer to me. I thought she was planning to touch my cheek, so I moved back.

“Wow! You can fly?”

She's just smiling at me, she’s weird. She observes every movement I do.

“You’re like Peter Pan!”

“I don’t know that person.”

“Will you take me to Neverland?”

“Huh? I don’t know that place”

“Where do you live? What’s your name? What kind of creature are you? By the way, my name is Celeste,” she said while smiling.

She bombarded me with questions that pissed me even more. I’m confused. I don’t know what to do or what to say to her.

Celeste Huxley's POV

"Hey, I'm Celeste Huxley, aren't you?"

He's just staring at me and here I am amazed because of him. His hair was brown, he's tall, has modern skin, and a handsome face, but it's really weird because his clothes were kinda old.

"Hello. What's your name?" I asked again.

"C-Calix J-J-Jay"

"How old are you?"

"I don't know"

"Huh? Eh, where do you live?"

"Right there, under the bed."

"Huh? Is that even possible? Where's your Mom and Dad?"

"I don't have those," he said. It's weird, but it seems like he's telling the truth.

"Don't you remember anything?"

Calix Jay's POV

I went back under the bed. Those words kept bugging me. The only thing that I remember is my name and nothing more.

"Who am I? Where am I from? Who and where is my family?"

It looks like I won't be able to sleep tonight. A few minutes later, I heard the girl above say.

"Goodnight Handsome Monster…"

Handsome?
