On the afternoon of a warm August day, a young boy watches a taller blonde man work on something in a laboratory.
Blonde man: Now Jollibee, you saw how I did that right?
Jollibee: Mhm
Blonde man: Good, now I want you to-
Scientist assistant: MR. DELTA EXORCIN!!!! YOU GOT A PHONE CALL!!!
Delta: ALRIGHT!!!
Delta looked down at Jollibee, the boy started to grow nervous.
Jollibee: Uncle...do you think that's Mom on the phone?
Delta: Well, we'll never know until we answer. Now wait here and be careful not to hurt yourself.
As Delta left the room Jollibee put his small hands on the sides of his mask. He felt the way the black demon mask fit on his face, to calm his nerves. Jollibee's mother had to work in another town and could not bring Jollibee with her. So for almost half of his life, Jollibee stayed with Uncle, Aunt, and his older cousin.
Jollibee: What if it's not Mom? What if Mom just left me and I'll never see her again? What if-
Noticing that he's been rambling and that feeling his mask isn't helping. He started to brush his hands into his blueish-grey hair.
Jollibee: No, nonono, she would never leave me. Right?
After Jollibe calmed himself down enough for him to put back on his calm facade, Delta entered the room with a smile on his face.
Delta: Good news Jollibee, that was your mom. You'll be able to visit her.
Though he didn't show it, Jollibee was ecstatic! He got to see his mom again.
Delta: Now, I'll have to talk to your Aunt about when you'll be able to visit, but trust me, you'll see her soon enough.
So Delta and Jollibee left the laboratory and went back home. It was a nice white house and the interior was good looking too. In the house a young woman sat on the couch in the living room talking to a 16 year old boy. The boy noticed Jollibee immediately and went in for a bonecrushing hug.
Boy: JOLLIBEE!!! How's my favorite little guy doing?!
Jollibee: WELL, RIGHT NOW I'M BEING CHOKED!!!
Woman: Alright, you can let him go now Neccy. You want your cousin to breathe now don't you?
Neccy put the boy down gently, as if Jollibee was made of glass. Jollibee just gave Neccy a look of pure disgust and walked to his room.
Jollibee: Stupid Neccy. Doesn't he know that he can put someone in paralysis like that?!
Jollibee went to his room and shut it when he got in. He sat on his bed, and before he could even notice he started to fall asleep.
Jollibee woke up to the sound of his door opening, at the start he thought it was Neccy coming in to be annoying but instead his aunt was at the door. She sat down on Jollibee's bed.
Aunt: So, your uncle told me about what your mother said.
Jollibee: Yea.
Aunt: And me and your uncle are letting you go travel to visit your mother as soon as tomorrow.
Jollibee could not believe what he was hearing, he was going to be able to see his mom as soon as tomorrow.
Aunt: Also, we thought that since your 8 now, that you should be able to be on a bus and not get kidnapped all by yourself, so we're letting you go by yourself.
Jollibee: So, I'm going to see Mom by myself?
Aunt: Mhm, and your leaving to visit early in the morning since the town your mother lives is far away so rest up, goodnight Jollibee.
Jollibee: Goodnight Auntie.
When his Aunt left the room, Jollibee laid back down on his bed, he was sure gonna have an eventful day tomorrow.
