She's A Demon

Chapter 1 Part 1

Nightmares will Come

Diadhuit! This is Alice Ryan's phone. I am unable to come to the phone right now; but if you leave your name and number, I might get back with you ASAP. Beep. Wyatt Ryans ran a hand through his hair. Ito na ang pangatlong tawag niya sa asawa niya nang gabing yun. He proceeded to place to place the phone back to its original position and let out a grunt. Tinignan niya ang Grandfather clock and pinched the bridge of his nose. Tick Tock Tick Tock. Malapit na mag 11 o'clock. Earlier that day, Alice called from work. Sabi niya late raw siya makakauwi. Of course Wyatt understood, and was patient with her. Often more than not, Alice got caught up in her work, making her stay later than she had originally intended to. Although si Alice ay ang tipon na tao na mag-rereply agad at iinform si Wyatt of what was going on immediately. Same as Wyatt would do. It was necessary w/ lives like theirs.
For anyone else, It would have been viewed as odd to become paranoid an hour or later with out a message from their loved one. Ngunit para sa Ryans, nakakakaba na ito dahil maraming gumagalang mga masasamang elemento tulad ng mga demonyo, multo, Leviathans, Shapeshifters, Changeling, Doppelgangers, Ghouls, Werewolves, Banshees and to name a few. Therefore, when ten thirty struck and there wasn't a message nor a call from Alice, May karapatan siyang magalala. Each attempt resulted in receiving her voice mail, just as the most recent one had.
He proceeded to take his eyes away from the clock, changing positions as he looked over at the couch. The couch was placed anterior to the front front window, and the curtains were open to reveal the night sky. There was a figure that stood perched upon the couch cushions, and for brief moment, it took him by surprise. Kumalma si Wyatt nang marealize niya na anak niya pala yun. Nakalimutan nito na gising pa pala si Caleb. Earlier that evening, nagmakaawa si Caleb sa kanyang tatay na manatiling gising upang maghintay nito ang nanay. Wyatt forgetting that he was even downstairs only proved how much Caleb has him wrapped around his fingers.
Wait. The phone call came first and then it was straight to bed for the little kid. Once more, tinawagan ni Wyatt ang phone number ni Alice ngunit dumiretso ito muli sa voice mail nito. Narinig niya muli ang voicemail ni Alice at ang beep.
"Alice, I'm calling to check in on you" He started off the message with a greeting, forcing out the happiest tone he could muster up. Wyatt was a terrible actor, but he always attempted the best he could to lessen the worry he had, esp. pagdating sa kanyang pamilya "Si Caleb...tulog na siya-"
Nag-hesitate si Wyatt ng isang sandals pagmatapos niya mag patuloy. Wyatt was also a horrid liar, so he had to put his best effort into this. He had to make it somewhat believable. "They miss you though. Sana okay ka lang. Sana umuwi ka na. I love you." sabi nito.
He hung up the phone, placing it back into the base as he stood up. He was surprised to find that he was a lot calmer but also with a hint of worry, but it was noting compared to how he felt previously. He let out a big yawn, stretching his arms. "Alright, Caleb" sabi nito. "It's time to sleep. Pinayagan na kita, and now it's way past your bed time"
Normally, Caleb would turn and pout at him with wide pleading eyes to get along with it, nagmamakaawang payagan na Hindi matulog. Ngunit ngayon, Caleb has made no indication that he had ever heard him. He remained facing the window and slightly leaning forward. Nagtaka si Wyatt for a moment kung hindi niya talaga pinansin ito. He quickly pushed his thoughts away. Alam niyang hindi niya magagawa ito. Surprisingly, despite every thing he tried to convince his parents into letting him do, he did listen extremely well if their answer or decisions were set in stone. Caleb was a great kid. "Caleb, narinig mo ba ako?" tanong nito.
Hindi gumalaw si Caleb. Hindi rin siya sumagot. Wyatt couldn't help but feel the sense of panic returning to him that very second. He swiftly made his way over to the couch, gently touching his shoulder as he leaned over to get a good look at Caleb's face. Ang mga mata ni Caleb ay nakapikit, ang kanyang bibig ay nakabuka habang siya'y humihinga. Tulog na pala ito.
Slowly, his eyes fluttered open at his touch and he lets out a yawn himself. One of his hands curled into a fist as he rubbed his right eye in attempts to wake himself up. Wyatt let out a sigh of relief when he noticed that he had only dozed off. He didn't sleep much most nights, prone to having horrible nightmares, so when he managed to sleep even at the oddest of times, Wyatt and Alice can't help but smile. It was times like these Caleb slept peacefully, even if only for a few minutes.
"Come here, champ" sabi nitong nakangiti as he reached over and picked Caleb up. With a mixed of being exhausted and being used to this action, he automatically leaned his head upon his shoulder.
"Papaw" Caleb mumbled sleepily. "Momma isn't home yet"
"Malapit na umuwi si Momma, Caleb. I promise. On the mean tims, you need to go to bed and sleep."
Caleb whimpered at his father's answer, tugging his green and black striped onesie. "I want to see Momma" Caleb whined.
"I know you do." Wyatt reassured Caleb. "Gisingin nalang kita pag nandito na si Momma, okay? For now, you have to get as much sleep as possible. Kailangan mo ng pahinga para bukas.
Caleb had no clue what his papaw was referring to, and Caleb's guess was that is was due to his exhaustion. "Nakalimutan mo na ba?" tanong nito. "Hmm. Let's see. She's your best friend-" Wyatt trailed off, waiting Caleb's reaction. Slowly but surely, this got your attention, letting it slowly sink before Caleb gasped and perked up. Caleb smiled.
"I get to see Louise tomowwow! She said that her pawents are buying her a gold fish. " Caleb smiled. "Mewon pa daddy" dagdag ni Caleb.
"What's that?" tanong ni Wyatt, nakangiti kay Caleb.
"Mr Dylan and Mrs. Harper." Caleb began. Wyatt smiled at what he called the neighbors and their closed friends, Dylan and Harper Summers. "Sabi nila pwede ko waw makita yung German Shepherd nila na puppy" Caleb beamed.
"That's great, Caleb" He responded cheerfully. Ever since Caleb found out that Louise had a German Shepherd puppy, he had been dying to meet a dog. Sa totoo lang, non stop ang pagsasalita ni Caleb pag naalala niya yung puppy ni Louise.
Caleb let out a huge yawn, slouching over slightly as his eyelids drooped, fighting hard to keep them open. "Do you want papaw to read you The Very Hungry Caterpillar?" Wyatt asked to Caleb. His answerwas another yawn, Caleb's head resting. comfortably upon his shoulder as it did before. Caleb just barely shook his head as he dozed off. Tumawa sow Wyatt nang Makita niyang nakatulog na si Caleb. He carefully shifted Caleb in his arms as he turned.
