Secrets

Chapter 1

Mateo's pov:

Today's the day. I'm finally going to ask my father to go to the Human realm.

You might be wondering why I'm asking to go there but it's because I want to experience it just like my father did.

He's always told me stories about how he went to parties, met wonderful people, and was even popular there.

But there's one slight problem...

I'm an 8 year old who is half demon and half angel. Yes, I'm mixed. My father... you might know him to be the all powerful, scary Satan.

My mother, on the other hand, is a goddess.

My father met her when they were in the Human realm and both sides weren't too happy about it.

My mother, though, left my father high and dry for some sucker so I've learned everything I know, from my father.

Another thing, my father isn't even scary. I'm not being biased or anything but he's the biggest softy I've ever known.

But enough chit-chat. I must go ask him if I can go experience the excitement he had.

"Father?" I said while knocking on his study's door.

"Yes? Do come in, son." My father replied and opened the door for me.

I stepped inside and sat down in a chair, right in front of him.

"What is it you need? I'm a very busy man, you know." My father stated as he sat across from me.

"Well I wanted to know if I can leave-" I started off but my father interrupted me.

"Leave? To where?" he questioned.

I gulped and continued, "The Human realm like you!"

He pushed his glasses up and just stared at me like I was off my meds.

"Is that a yes or..." I lingered off.

He answered, "No," in a very stern tone.

I furrowed my eyebrows and asked, "Why not??"

He explained, "Because you're not ready to go and you're 8 years old."

I pouted and said, "I'm a big boy, father! Let me go. I'll promise I'll behave."

He shook his head 'no' then said, "No, son. Now if that's all you wanted to ask, feel free to get up and see yourself out of my sight."

I stood up and crossed my arms. I huffed out, "Fine! Since you want to be that way."

I then stomped out of his study and went to my friends.

"Jackson! Princeton! I'm mad!" I yelled over to them as I was breathing heavily.

"We can tell, it's very evident." Princeton replied.

"But why are you that mad?" Jackson questioned.

I explained, "My father won't let me go to the Human realm! He keeps telling me, and telling me, and telling me how he's had so much fun there! I want to have fun too!"

Prince and Jackson looked at each other then looked back at me and blinked. They smiled and began laughing at me.

What's so funny? I'm being serious!

"Mateo, maybe he's telling you, you can't go for a reason. Just let it go and go in the future." they giggled out.

I crossed my arms, again, and pouted. I then said, "But I really wanna go..."
