Part 1: Boy In The Shed

Chapter 1: Boy In The Shed

「Age 5」

"Charlie, hurry up and fetch mama the dough from the counter." My mama would call out for me. I was her personal assistance in the kitchen since she didn't have a daughter.

"Here mama." I handed her the dough that was neatly shaped, and tended to already.

"Thank you baby. You can go play now." She gives me a motherly smile, and I hugged her legs. Sadly I was too short to hug her beyond that.

I ran outside to the meadow to play. Papa would never tell me why there was a shed placed in the back of our meadow. It was a plain shed. It had a traditional Japanese look to it.

At age 5, I didn't understand much. It was just a piece of construction that didn't belong. I often glance at it from afar. I figured a monster must live there since papa would always ask our bodyguard to bring the monster food.

I decided to build up my courage, and go on an adventure. An adventure where I would explore the monster's house.

I ran towards the shed, and as I got closer, I slowed down. I saw the window was slightly ajar, and I peeked inside. There laid a boy with long black hair. He was wearing a kimono that only covered one of his shoulders. The kimono was a faded blue. Seems that the kimono was as old as this shed.

"Psssst!" I tried to get his attention. His back was faced towards me. Maybe it was a girl? I couldn't tell, but my guesses were it was a boy. A small boy around my age.

"Charlie! What are you doing?!" I turned around shocked. It was papa. He grabs my wrist, and pulls me away.

"Ow!" I yelp at his rough grip.

"Charlie! Never go near this shed! You got that?!" He screams. His breath stank of cigarettes, and booze. I held my breath, and nodded.

He pulls me back inside the house, and my eyes stayed focused on the shed until I reached the mansion.

We are a rich family with a ton of bodyguards, and maids. Papa said we are one of London's most wealthiest families. I guess that was good. I love where I live. Just....papa scares me sometimes. He never talks about the shed. I don't even think mama knows about it.

"Charlie, don't tell anyone about that shed okay? That boy is a monster." Papa takes my shoulders in his large hands, and stares at me seriously. So serious I felt my blood drain.

"But papa it's just a boy." I said.

"He is possessed by the devil. It is my job to contain him. Stay away okay Charlie?" He kisses my forehead, and I nodded.

I didn't quite obey my promise or word to papa. I was just too curious about that shed. One morning when I found out my papa was going out for a business trip, I knew that was the perfect opportunity to go to the shed.

"Mama, I'm going out to play!" I yelled, and she said okay.

I ran towards the shed immediately as my foot hits the grass of the meadow. There was no time to waste. I dashed out quickly until I reached the porch of the shed. The same window was slightly opened again. I saw the lock on it preventing it from opening any more than it already was. I peeked inside, and saw the same boy still laying there.

"Pssst!" I said to the boy. His body was curled in fetus position this time. His back was still towards the window. I couldn't imagine him being a demon. He is so skinny, and small.

"Hey hey..." I said in a whispering tone, but loud enough for him to hear.

He slowly sits up, and rubs his eyes. He looks over at me. His dark blue eyes stared at my dark red brown eyes. He didn't show any signs of emotions. It felt awkward.
