Loona the Caretaker

Cody Meets the Gang

Loona seemed to be liking this Cody boy a great deal. The young child was looking out the window and he was glad that hell was not an eternal lake of fire where all bad people go to. While he was still not over his parents' death, he was feeling a little less sad than before. Still, he had friends up on Earth, and he was worried about his friends in school, along with his teacher. Mrs. Gallagher was one of the nicest teachers a kid can ask for, and Colin really admired her a great deal for being such a sweetheart and loving children, trying to help them learn things as quickly as possible.

Of course, there was the neighbors next to his now burnt house. Cody didn't know if everyone else believes him to be still alive or everyone thinks that he died in the fire along with his parents.

Yet again, the fire department saw Loona help him get out of the blazing home, and carry him to safety. So, the marshal probably told everyone int he neighborhood that the boy was fine, but probably don't know his current whereabouts. Not only them, but Cody had an older brother who doesn't live with his family anymore for some reason. "Uhh, Loona? I don't know if I wanna go outside and see those scary demons."

"Ah, don't worry, kiddo." Loona shrugged. "Just stick with me and try not to pick a fight with any of them, and you'll get along just fine with most of the locals. 'Matter of fact, why don't I show you my weird coworkers."

"Ummm. I don't know. What if they try to hurt me?"

"Ah, they won't." the female hellhound shrugged off. "Blitzo, Moxxie, and Millie are people I can tolerate, but you'll be fine. So come on, you should meet them. Besides, they probably wanna meet you anyway Cody."

"They know about me?"

"Yep. Well, they don't know your name or how the fire started."

"Well, ok." Cody finally complied. "But can you please protect me?"

Loona smiled warmly and getnly ruffed his light-brown hair. "Don't worry, sweetie. You have my word as a hellhound. I won't let any demon hurt you down here."

Cody smiled with gratitude showing on his little boy face. She gently picked up Cody and cradled him in her arms like an infant. "This feels a little uncomfortable."

"I know. But i'm too tall you hold your hand and i can't have you ride on my shoulders because I have sensitive hair." Loona remarked. She thought that it would be deathly embarrassing to be seen carrying a human child in her arms like this as if she was his own mother, but this child was very shaken and now alone with no parents to take care of him. Going out of the house, and walking down the sidewalk, and many kinds of demons were seen here. Hellhounds of course, and imps, but there were also plant demons, ice demons, fire demons, and others.

Cody had a small, squeamish feeling in his stomach looking at the demons who were staring at him passerby. "Wow. They look scary and intimidating."

"Just ignore them and look at me, OK?"

"OK."

"Hey Loona!" said a gruff voice. It was a large, black hellhound with a white tank top and white hair on his face. "What ya got there?" this guy looked at the kid, and his face turned from curious to hungry. "Oooh, this kid looks delicious to eat. I should eat the liver first, then the brain."

"Hey!" Loona exclaimed. "Back off, Pax! This kid is not my lunch, he is my friend. By Satan almighty, I will rip your throat out of you try to take a bite."

"OK! OK! Sorry, Loona." Pax replied before walking away.

Loona smiled and looked back at the boy. "Sorry about Pax. He's not that bad. He can be ravenous sometimes."
