The monster's inside us

making my way

All was well after the birthday party for Sally, she loved the gift that I found most out of them all and I finally earned a little respect from everyone. Cleo was acting strange though I couldn't figure out why though, she was talking more than usual she spoke with a soft innocent sounding voice, not what you would expect from someone in a place like this. After leaving and saying my goodbyes I decided to take a walk around the abandoned section of the state I was in it was a beautiful night the moon shined brightly through the trees,and the wind howled calmly it was a full moon not a star in the sky they where drowned out by the thick clouds beneath them. I never really cared for this place the smell of dry rotted wood was not at all pleasant but it grows on you I promise when I got home Adimar was resting calmly in the corner, he had taken everything on my bed even the sheet. I knew what he was capable of so I didn't bother trying to take them from him knowing he could maul me to death. The worst part about my new pet is that he snores louder than a human and often nose whistles both very annoying. I always slept with a blanket no matter how warm it would get so sleeping without one was weird I tossed and turned most of the night but ademar never even cared of course. *He has his own blankets why did he steal mine?* I thought to myself feeling aggravated It was getting cold so I had to do something.

I decided all I could do is share with ademar so I slept next to his bed with the blanket covering me. He smells god awful but he isn't the ideal dog to bathe considering he is terrified of water, and he is way too big to fit in a bathtub or any kind of tub, and I would need a large amount of soap too. Eventually I fell asleep but the smell still haunted me throughout the night either way I slept smoothly the rest of the night. I woke up to Adimar's curios face about a quarter inch away from mine this caused me to jump back and slam the back of my head on the wall ''god damnit Adimar'' I said scolding him but all he did was wag his tail of course though clockwork and cleo were outside my door giggling, laughing at my pain how dare they? Adimar roared and jumped on the door howling I guess he likes people ''oh uh..hi..'' I said looking at them I was embarrassed but once again Adimar didn't care. ''I see you and adimar are getting along'' Cleo said I grunted in anger at the both of them. ''We wanted to thank you for what you did for Sally it really meant a lot to her'' Clockwork said I could see sally hiding behind her, hell if I saw me i'd be scared to. ''I-it's no big deal really'' I said. Well as comfortable as I am here now I have to remember these are some dangerous people and I still had no idea what Jeff was capable of or how long it will take before someone finds this place.

I didn't want to do anything that day I just decided to stay inside and work on my mask. I drew black circles around the eyes and added curved triangles on the top and bottom of the eyes, drew some symbols I had seen from the tall guy, and made a grotesque frown, traced and colored it all with a black permanent marker. Everything was coming along nicely infact it couldn't have been better no one else was going to bother me today. To this day I vow that if anyone tried to bother me I'd sick Adimar on them he only does things when asked I'll admit for a mut Adimar is extremely smart. It started to rain during my trip back from the mess hall/meeting hall but I had my hood up everyone commented on the mask in a good way too which was strange behavior for most of them everyone seemed happiest in the rain infact laughing Jack was attempting to do snow angels in the mud he tried to get me to join but I started walking faster. I don't hate clowns but living next to one was annoying laughing Jack never slept he would stay up all night laughing at himself really loudly or him and the other baboons of the area would light fire crackers. I honestly feel like I live next to a bunch of children, well it was time to feed the beast when I got back I got my complimentary left over meat from the mess hall and tossed it on the air Adimar caught it.
