"(Y/N), dear! We're home! We got you a little surprise! Why don't you run out back and see what it is?" The sound of their mother's voice caused the child to stop drawing and set their pencil down. They stood up from the carpet and dusted the pencil shavings from their blue shorts and white tee before plastering a happy grin on their face.

Excited, they dashed out of their room and down the hall, into the kitchen, where the back door was. (Y/N) turned around and spotted their mother from all the way across the house, making her way towards the backdoor. The sounds of her heels clacking against the hard wood floor and then the marble tile told them that she was getting closer. The little twelve-year old decided to wait until the tall blonde lady made her way beside the child. She glanced down and pulled her sunglasses off before flashing them a big smile.

"Didn't want momma to miss out on the big surprise, huh?" She asked with a small chuckle. (Y/N) giggled and nodded, before gripping the handle of the sliding door, pulling it open to head outside. Their mother set her purse onto the kitchen counter before following her child outside and onto the patio.

Once they had exited their large modern home, they both glanced over at the beautiful view of the beach as they usually did when they stepped outside, before finally focusing on the man up ahead.

His chocolate brown hair blew in the light wind as he tried to keep a large metal box from shaking. His lab coat had been tied around his waist, and the sleeves of his white dress shirt were rolled up over his elbows as he pressed all of his weight down onto the black box. The blonde watched her husband struggle for a minute before finally clearing her throat to catch his attention. She tucked her purple lanyard into the inside of her lab coat before placing her hands in front of her, waiting for him to notice their arrival.

"You frightened it I suppose, huh Gerald?"

The man turned and looked at his wife in surprise, his glasses seeming to be a little crooked at the moment. He let out a nervous chuckle and grinned, "Yeah, just a bit, heh."

"Here, I'm sure (Y/N) here can calm it down. Will you be a sweetie and help your father settle the surprise down for me?" The woman ran a hand down her child's head and gave them a little smile. (Y/N) nodded and walked towards the box their father was restraining.

The metal cage seemed to be made out of titanium, and was rectangular in shape. There also seemed to be small slits on each side for breathing purposes--four on two sides, and three in the back. The door of the cage appeared to open upwards like a garage door, but was locked tightly with a keypad on the side of it. Gerald stepped away from the jumping cage, leaving (Y/N) to take a moment to figure out how to calm this thing down.

They noticed that after every ten or so seconds, a high pitched sound would escape through the slits of the cage, making the metal compartment jump a couple centimeters off of the ground. It was followed by slight whining afterward.

"Roselia, are you sure this is safe?" Gerald whispered to his wife. She watched intently as the little kid investigated the box, "Of course, darling. He wouldn't have given it to us to give to them otherwise!" She turned towards the brunette with a slightly unsettling grin plastered on her cherry red lips, while twirling the end of her long blonde hair.

(Y/N) sat down behind the cage while pressing their hands onto the metal to keep it in place. The thing inside had shuffled backwards, shivering in place. It didn't try to attack again however. (Y/N) took this opportunity to relax it by singing a calm and angelic tune, allowing the blue orbs of light slip it's way through the cage and into the creatures system. After a moment, it stopped shaking and let out a small purr in response to (Y/N)'s treatment. They stood back up and stared at the two adults watching them.
