"Well, here's the keys. Have a good day!" The previous owner of the home I just bought said.

There was a bit of furniture in the house already. It was a small one-story house. I walked around checking everything out.

The house had 1 bedroom, a master bedroom, a bathroom, a master bathroom(attached to the master bedroom), a kitchen, a living room, and a small back yard.

It wasn't anything special but I didn't have much money being a part time florist and a part time bartender. I didn't have any friends either.

I went to check out the master bedroom and saw there was a bed in the middle of the room with a dark brown wooden night stand to the right of it when looking from the foot of the bed.

It was 5:00pm. I unloaded all the boxes I had and began to unpack. I was done by 7:00pm because I didn't have many things to unpack. I decided to take a nap because I was tired from that long drive and all the unpacking.

I went to the master bedroom, which was now claimed as my room. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.
\|\|\|\~
I started to wake up due to feeling like something was scratching me. I looked down at my ankle that was slightly out of the blanket.

I saw a big hand with long sharp claws. I jumped up and scooted as far back to the headboard as I could.

"Wh-who are you?!" I yelled out. I was terrified.

"Zeno" said a very deep and scary voice. If I'm going to be honest, it was kind of hot. DON'T BLAME ME! I haven't gotten any action since high school. Im 25.

"What...umm...are you doing under my bed, Zeno?" I asked trying not to let whoever was under my bed know about my boner. That would be embarrassing.

"I WAS going to kill you in your sleep but...are you aroused by this right now?" The demonic voice asked. SHIT! How did...it(?) Know!?

What...umm...are you?" I asked trying not to sound rude.

"Im the monster under the bed kids tell their parents about." Oh. So my new house is haunted. Great!

"So you're a monster? Demon? Entity? What EXACTLY are you?" I asked still fucking confused!

"I'm all of the above." I could hear a smirk in their voice.

"What do you look like?" I asked now fully intrigued in this creature under my bed.

"I have many different forms." It answered way to vaguely.

"Ugh. What are all your forms?" I'm starting to get a little impatient now.

"No need for the attitude." The thing said annoyed. I don't care though. I want answers and that's the one thing this creature isn't giving me!

"Answer my questions and I wouldn't be using any attitude." I said with a shit ton of sass.

"I have a demon or monster form, whatever you want to call it. And I have a human form." The creature said. Finally! Answers!

"What does your monster form look like?" I asked, really wanted to see any form the creature could take.

"Want to see?" It asked and immediately I got suspicious from it's tone.

"Sure?" I asked more than said. I don't know if I really do. Fuck it how bad could it be?

"Yes." I answered again with more confidence.

"Ok." I heard and saw what looked to be about 7 feet tall, red glowing creature. With talon for fingers and teeth as sharp as razors. It had clawed feet and was scaly. Ok, I regret saying yes.
