Helluva Boss: ''Helluva Human Kid''

Coming Home to Scary Stories

MONDAY...

Balin had his schoolbag all ready for his first day back at school after his sick leave with his hellhound fever, as Loona waited outside his room for him with the Grimoire once again in her good paws.

"You excited, kiddo?" she asked him with little excitement herself.

"Yeah..." replied the nervous little kid. "I promise, I won't show my friends the new me."

"That's probably a good idea. Don't want them thinking you're a werewolf." smiled Loona. "...Or maybe, they'll just think you're a cuddly little puppy."

"B-B-But, but I'm a scary hellhound!" said Balin playfully. "Fear me!"

Loona then gave out a light laugh as she gently patted the kid's back. "You're so cute, Balin." she said while she wrapped his backpack around his arms. "Besides, you know how to control it now. Don't you?"

"It's getting there. But are we still on for training at Via's place?"

"I'll ask her while you're at school." replied Loona. "But speaking of which right now,"

Loona then opened a portal to Holy Water Primary School with the Grimoire and gave Balin a hug goodbye.

"I'll see you later, kiddo."

"You too, Loona."

The boy then bravely jumped through the portal, which was at a secluded part of the school where no-one would see the portal, and then ran all the way to the courtyard where Matt and Amy were waiting with his package.

He embraced the two school friends of his before walking to homeroom together and talking of the weekend's adventures.

...But he only left out the hellhound fever parts, thank goodness. Who knows? Maybe he could tell them. Someday.

TUESDAY...

The next day after school, when Loona picked up Balin from school, she then opened a portal back to Hell and into I.M.P, where Neptune and Marijiana were practicing with their weapons and reading case studies on their targets.

While Blitzø, Moxxie, and Millie on the other hand were telling spooky stores in his office.

BLITZØ - "In the darkest of shadows, where the blood runs red before it turns to black, and the hounds of Hell howl at the blue corn moon, as they're ready to hunt for a catch they deem worthy and bring shit to the pants of any who dare tread their path, there is something even spookier, waiting to infect the shell of your skull with nightmares one can never truly fathom."

"I'mma stop you right there!" Moxxie interjected. "You've got nothing, do you, sir?"

"I was gonna say there was a hunter who heard strange noises such as 'I gotcha where I want you! Now I'm gonna eat ya!' and then it just turned out to be a pony trying to lick at its nostrils."

Everyone in the room reacted in disgust, even Balin showed a gag-like look on his face while Loona punched Blitzø in his.

"That's for telling a goddamn story about boogers, butthole!" she shouted angrily, before calming down. "So, I take it you guys are telling spooky ones, huh?"

"That we are indeed, Loona." replied Moxxie. "In fact, I think I have the perfect story. Wanna join us?"

"I'll just lean against here." replied Loona as she started texting on her phone. "I'll sit with you guys." smiled Balin.

It was then Millie picked up the little boy and sat him in her lap.

"Uhm, Aunty Millie? There's a chair I can sit on, right there." he said feeling ticklish as she cuddled him.
