Hello to STEM

"hello people of Earth . my name is Becca Show, and you are supposed to know this."

Becca stood from her chair and left the view that the video camera could scope to come back with a box in hand, on the box was written 'Le jus d'orange'. It was an old box. She blew dust from the surface. She set her gaze on the video camera to continue from where she stopped.

"I found this box behind a tree at the park, well if you can call it a park, it's more like a forest! So I decided to do a video about it, I'll name this video, 'The unboxing of the unfamiliar!' Pretty cool right? I know. Anyway, I am curious as to what this box holds! let's get right to it"

She used a knife to remove the tape that held the box's lids together. When she opened it, her expression changed from curious to confused.

"It's empty! How could it be? The box is really heavy! A box like this can't be this weight-y with nothing inside of it." She said, as she looked up with surprise.

"There is nothing in the box! This isn't a prank peeps, it's really empty!" she turned the box so her supposed viewers could see.

"It's empty....oh poops."

She stood, stretching her hand to reach the power button, she said,

"that's all folks."

She turned off the device and put it the wooden box, sliding it under her bed, while the empty box was placed on the table.

She left her room going down the stairs, when she heard her name...it was coming from her room.

"Becca.....show."

It sounded like her mother's voice....but her mother was not at home. Skeptically she walked back up to her room. She slowly opened the door looking left and right, her head above the threshold.

THUD!

She looked to the right again, it was the box, it fell from the table and unto the floor.

"How did-?"

She walked into the room and carried the empty box, placed it on the table and kept her hand on it. then she heard the voice again

"Becca Show" she looked down surprised, it was the box that was talking. She quickly removed her hand from the box and went two steps back. Something purple and shapeless started coming out from the box, until it took a form. It was nothing like her mother, it's mouth was wide almost reaching to the sides of it's face, if it can be called a face and something like eyes on it were slanted, it was like a demon, but what was it doing here?

She remained quiet.

"Hello Becca! pardon my intrusion to your humble abode; you brought me here but it's all the same! And the fact that I am using your mothers voice but, it was the last one I heard apart from yours, and I have to speak mind you. I'll also advice you not to be scared: am a really friendly guy. but who am I kidding? I don't look friendly at all! now do I? Right!"

She mustered the courage and asked the question of the century.

"What are you?"

"me?" asked the demon. " Well, we have smart now don't we?" the demon said, a wide smile on it. "Why, I am the sidekick of a thousand walls but I go by one name, which I will be happy for you to address me as STEM! And yes I do mean the stem of a plant and what not. So, there is really no need for you to introduce yourself to me, I already heard your introduction while you were making that video, I would have showed but it would be a waste of time hahahahahahaha!"

"What do you want?" Becca asked, she was starting to get goosebumps, but she should be more scared than this... Is her mind not registering this?!

"I kinda like you kid, really straight to the point. And, I want you to help me find something, that's the only reason I am here."

"And if I don't?"

"Then you are going to kiss your breathing addicted life goodbye! Comprendre?"

"Oh no."

"Oh yes."

At this time, Becca was ten years old

"let's get to business now, shall we?"
