KISS-Return To KISSWorld

Chapter Five: 🎸Demon 🎸

A few days later, I saw the Demon at the KISSWorld Cafe.

He was eating his food rather quickly, as if he was in a hurry to do or be somewhere.

"What's with the rush, are you in a hurry or something"?

I sat down next to him.

The Demon sometimes would act like he was in a grumpy mood, but he was a kind soul, just like everyone else in the rock band KISS.

"You seem to really take an interest in our Catman, I saw you look at him with those little red cheeks of yours".

I felt a little bit embarrassed.

"I like him as a friend, and the same goes for all of you guys".

 The bass guitarist grinned with a chuckle.

"Trust me kid, I know all too well when a female is in love."I've had plenty of experience in my days".

He got up from his seat to throw away his garbage in a nearby trash bin.

Then, he got a message in his mind from Stachild.

"We need her back at the KISS recovery room, meet us at the Starry Night Ferris Wheel".

"How does Starchild do that?"

I asked him curiously.

"It is a power that no one else can do other than the Starchild himself." 

I smiled with amazement.

"Do not try to do it yourself, young one, it will not work, believe me."

I laughed a little bit.

"Oh, I wouldn't dream of it".

The Demon smiled at my well behaved obedience.

"You are a nice person to talk to, I am hoping that you will behave yourself while we continue to work with our experiment".

Experiment? 

What in the world does he mean by that?

Soon, we found the rest of the band, who we were meeting up with to head back to the KISS recovery room.

"This time, Demon and Catman will be searching for all of your fears".

Starchild unlocked the door and we walked inside the building.

I sighed at that kind of topic.

"Care to explain some of your worst fears"?

SpaceMan had me sit down on one of th beds in the KISS recovery room.

I took a deep breath and began to speak.

"Well, one of my biggest fears is heights. I don't like rollercoasters because they all go EXTREMELY fast whenever I watch them go round and round, and then they sometimes go all the way up to the top, and then, before you know it, the rollercoaster goes all the way down really fast and..."

I began to shake a little at the sudden thought.

Starchild used his laser power to see through my mind again.

This time, whenever he did that, it didn't bother me at all.

"Everybody can get scared sometimes, even us."

Catman sat down beside of me and I felt a little bit better.

"One time, when I was a kitten, I climbed up to the top of the biggest diving board I'd ever seen. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to be up there, but some kid got impatient and he decided to give me a little push".

SpaceMan nodded his head, remembering that time as well.

"Hold that thought for a minute".

Starchild called for an assistant and he brought in a tool.

"Alright then, continue Catman".

The drummer smiled at his bandmember, and then cleared his throat.

"Anyway, the kid was much older than me, but he accidentally pushed me a little too hard. I fell into the pool and I was not injured. But I was literally terrified at the thought of being in a public kid swimming pool until I was almost eighteen years old."

(This is just made up so please bear with me)
