My phone rings waking me from my nap. I make a noise I didn't even know I could muster and answer it.

"What the hell do you want?"

"Well, hello to you too miss snappy." I furrow my brows and look at the caller ID squinting. It's Caleb.

Why is he calling me?

"You woke me up so this better be good." My voice is groggy. I sit up and check the time on my clock.

He chuckles nervously "So I need help with something..."

"You sound shady right now." I state suspicious.

"My cousin asked me to babysit her pet and will be over here in like an hour and I need help."

"Why don't you ask the others?"

"They're all busy." He whines like a six year old.

I run my hand through my hair and sigh. "Alright I'll be over in fifteen minutes but you owe me."

"Yes! Okay see ya!" He hangs up before I can reply.

"You little son of a-" I mutter under my breath.

I groan and get off the bed throwing on a hoodie and leaving. I'm not even fully awake so there is no way in hell i am changing, sweatpants and a hoodie will do.

As I pull up to Caleb's house his door opens and he walks outside grinning.

I open my door and eye him suspiciously getting out of my car.

"You better buy me a coffee for this." He smirks.

"Are you asking me on a date?" He looks smug.

I roll my eyes "Again me," I gesture to myself "gay, I just like coffee." I shrug.

His face falls again and I pat him on the shoulder with a sorry not sorry look.

We get inside and sit in his kitchen because he claims he was "starving to death and needs a sandwich".

Soon our conversation is switched from sandwiches to why water is not wet.

In the middle of our intense argument the doorbell rings sending Caleb to the door.

I sigh "This is what my life has come to." I mutter then follow him to the door.

A girl that I'm guessing is around the age of 12 is smiling brightly on the porch.

She steps in and that's when I see the eight legged demon in the cage she is holding.

My eyes go wide and I turn to give Caleb such a deadly glare that If looks could kill he would be six feet under.

His eyes also go wide and he gulps but not because of the spider.

"Thank you for watching Lucy for me!" She hands me the spider.

I freak out and my eyes go wider than I thought possible as I hold it out as far away form me as I can.

Her face suddenly turns serious "But if anything happens to him when I'm gone, it will be over for the both of you." Her eyes switch from the both of us and I just stare in slight fear of the little girl in a pink unicorn shirt in front of me.
