"What is taking her so long?" I whispered under my breath and paced around my bedroom. I started to feel worried that she wasn't coming back until I heard a rustling in my wardrobe. I ran towards it and pulled it open aggressively. "NIFF! YOU MADE IT BACK! You were taking forever, I thought you got caught." I huffed a sigh of relief and helped Nifty climb out of the closet. "On the way down there, the passage was filled with bugs... but not anymore." She giggled manically. "AH! GROSS." I gagged and quickly tried to move on. "What did you find in there tonight?" Nifty emptied her pockets and chucked everything she stole on the floor. Laying there was a heap of candy she stole from the kitchen, and a couple of random buttons and sewing thread which were probably already in her pockets when she left. "Not bad!" I chimed and held out my paw to high five her. "Now gimme gimme gimme!" She squealed and held her arms up in the air as if she was reaching for something. I put my paw down and sighed. "Right." I reached into my the draw on my bedside table and pulled out a sharp sewing needle, the expensive kind. "Here you go. Same time next week?" I asked. "Yes, yes, yes!" She snatched it out of my hand and cuddled it like it was some pet. "Now get out of here Nifty, no one can know about this, remember?" I said looking dead into her one eye. She nodded aggressively and ran back down the secret passage we had built together. It led from my wardrobe all the way down to the seventh floor, which was my favourite because it had the only kitchen with candy. I searched through the pile of sweets and unwrapped a milk chocolate bar and scoffed it down fast. I grabbed the rest of the candy and shoved it into one of my empty drawers in the wardrobe, until I saw something.

There was a photo sitting at the bottom of the drawer, an oldish photo. I remembered how my room used to be mamma's, and this was probably something he forgot to take with him to his new room. I picked it up and examined the photo, and as I expected, it was mamma, but something wasn't right. He was wearing clothes that literally looked like my panties and training bras, and he wasn't with daddy, there was another man. I thought mama was tall but he was nothing compared to this guy, the demon resembled a moth, with bright red eyes, purple-ish skin, and a wicked smile that flashed his gold tooth. It looked almost identical to mamma's. "That's a weird way to hug someone..." I mumbled under my breath and squinted my eyes to get a better look. There wasn't much to see, and the more I stared at it, the more uneasy it made me feel, so I scrunched it up and hid it amongst the pile of candy.

I existed the closet, collapsed onto my bed and let out a deep sigh. When you've been trapped in a building for years with only your parents, a couple chefs, a few maids and a TON of security guards, you get bored pretty easily. I turned my head to look at my alarm clock, the time read 10:36pm. Both mama and daddy were down in the casino, probably gambling like always, maybe I could go down there and find something to entertain myself with. I sat up and jumped down from the bed. "Ouch!" I landed on my paws wrong, why were these beds so high up anyways? It wasn't like my dad was tall either. I quickly walked out the bedroom door and into the hallway which was connected to daddy's office, that's where the elevator was. I called for the lift and stepped inside, "Hmmm..." I said under my breath. I knew the casino like the back of my hand, it was my home, and I spent a lot of time wandering around in it when I was bored but I didn't go down when it was open to the public, I think it's because it was past my bedtime. I decided to go to the third floor where most of the lounges and machines were, therefore, where most of the gamblers would be.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator everyone stopped to look at me for at least 10 seconds before going back to what they were doing. I didn't understand why. I was eight now, that's basically old enough to be gambling in a casino. I walked around for a few minutes trying to find something to do. Eventually, I found a ton of demons yelling and throwing cards at each other, now that was something interesting. I hid behind one of the pillars and perked my ears up so I could listen better. "YOU LYING BASTARD! YOU CHEATED!" One of them screamed and started chucking poker chips across the table. Then all of a sudden, everyone started shouting curse words, some of them I'd never even heard before! This went on for a couple minutes until two security guards came over and escorted all of them out in a matter of seconds. Now what was I supposed to do? I came out from the corner and walked around for a bit longer. Once I was near the bar I heard something.
