little devil

No noise. That's how it started. No noise, just black.

My name is Lee. I'm a 16-year-old junior at Moon Street High School. I also have a gig in babysitting. I have about 13 clients. All who are rich and have two or one kid. I'm a straight A student, so my parents don't give me a curfew. I usually only babysit at night, so the parents can go on a date. That how it started. Just another babysitting gig.

"Are you sure you can do it? He's a handful. I don't want you to think you have to. " The mother, Mary, says in an anxious voice as she puts her diamond earrings on.

"Don't worry. We'll have a lot of fun!" I say with a smile as I pick up her three-year-old son, Peter.

"Oh, alright. Just... The emergency contact numbers are on the fridge, There's sandwich supplies in the kitchen, He needs to have his medicine by 9pm no later no sooner, and...Oh, He needs to be in bed by 10pm. Gosh, I hope that's not too much to ask of you... Oh-" She was cut off by her husband's voice

"Mary, leave the boy alone. Peter will be fine,I'mm sure Lee has it covered." Rich, her husband, says in a hurry as he ties his tie.

Mary sighs, then nods and finishes putting on her earring.

"Okay...well, I guess we'll be off."

I nod and reassure her one more time before they leave, saying they will be back by 11pm, 12 at the latest.

After they leave, I set Peter down, and I smile at him.

"What would you like to do, big boy?" I ask him.

He stares up at me with wide brownish reddish eyes. He pours his lips and whispers something under his breath.

"What was that?" I ask him as I lean down closer to his mouth.

"Stupid Human!" He screeches into my ear.

I wince at the volume and the sharp tone of his voice.

"W-what?" I stammer as I sit up.

He goes back to being silent, and I rub my ear lobe.

He turns his head away and crosses his little arms.

"Okay..well.. how about I go and make you a grilled cheese?" I ask cautiously as I reach down to pick him back up.

He squirms out of my arms, and I almost drop him. I quickly set him back down, and then I stood up again.

"Hmmm....what if I turned a movie on for you and I go make you your food?" I ask him.

"Oh sure. He'll love a chance to take you... " He mutters. I tilt my head and look at the little baby by my feet.

"Who is 'he'?" I ask as I squat down, so I'm eye level with him.

He goes back to being silent, and I sigh. I stand up and move to the mantel below the TV, and I grab the remote.

"What would you like to watch?" I ask Peter.

".....Rag Anna." He says, and then he stands and quickly walks over to the couch.

I turn the TV on and I search for "Rag Anna". A horror film pops up, and I look back at Peter.

"Um... are you sure? this movie is really scary..." I say.

He frowns at me, and I hear a slight growl...

"I'll ask your parents first..okay?" I ask/say as I grab my phone from my pocket and pull up Mrs. Marys number.

I type out a quick text.

'Is it okay that Peter watches 'Rag Anna'? He said it was okay but...I wanted to ask. since it's rated R and all.'

I watch as a text comes back through

'Oh, he just loves that movie. It's fine'

I sigh and turn it on.

After about an hour, I walk back over and give him his food. He grins up at me and eats the food.

"Sir....we should go to the attic. I have some toys up there!"

I nod and follow the small boy up the stairs. that was my first mistake.

that's the end for this chapter. I will have a part 2!!
