friends with a Human

Sophie

Pretty much everyone believes in some sort of afterlife. I mean I didn't really, but I believed in ghosts and ghouls so that's got to count for something right? I always thought I'd live to at least 30 but an accident took that away from me. See when i was 14 I was involved in a terrible house fire, the police claimed it was arson but never caught who did it. Anyways it was late at night when I woke up to the sound of the fire alarm beeping. Looking around I realised that the room was filled with smoke. I tried to block off the areas where the smoke would come through, like under the door but the smoke was too thick. I opened a window too but that didn't help. I lent out of my window and started screaming. My family were out they went to see a show and stayed over but i hasn't been able to get the time off from work so I knew they were safe at least. So after shouting and hanging out of my window I hear the sound of an Fire engine coming this way. But it must have been to late because that's all that I remember from that time.

I remember waking up in all black and having smoke coming off me, my hair an dark Orange colour, this I'd later find out would represent the way I died. It turned out that I wasn't an angel or anything. I was in fact an demon. But i was a free demon to do whatever I pleased. Haunt who I want, spook anyone i wanted and visit anyone i wanted but the only catch was that I'd get summoned quite often and there was nothing I could do about it.

I knew a few demons that got summoned like all the time, and they enjoyed it. They got summoned to things like cults and Ouija boards. Whereas I got summoned to a few peoples homes on accident or because they were trying to show off to their friends or freak them out because y'know they can, its what kids do, I tried to when I was younger. I was a bit miffed about not being summoned often but then it gave me my freedom to do things such as haunt my friends so they dont forget about me just yet and help my brother through his life because I know he'll need it, life's tough.

A couple of years ago though is when things started to change, I got summoned more and more to peoples houses, this excited me as I had never really been a proper popular demon before. But I started to realise that the people that I was being summoned to, they were quite lonely, due to different reasons; some had just lost a family member or a friend, some had just broken up with a partner and some just didn't have any family and friends. It made me wonder why I, out of all the demons and spirits had been sent to them, then it clicked. I didn't really have any friends either. Sure I knew different Ghosts, Ghouls and Demons but I didn't know them really we all weren't friends and that's why I was being sent to all these people's houses.

Most of the people I visited didn't say in touch, I mean I don't blame them but an odd few do which makes me happy, they summon me when they are feeling down and need some cheering up. In fact, one of my very best friends is human, she had a very hard time and that's when I got sent to her. To help her and support her. And also cause a little chaos in her life. 

That girl's name was Lunar.
