A few months later...

"Now Amelia, remember to respect your aunt and uncle."

"Yes mommy." I closed the car door and my mom and dad walked the luggage.  "You hear that Cieto, be nice."

Cieto chuckled with his arms folded, "Me nice, think you have the wrong demon."

"I'm serious Cieto, behave please."

Cieto sighed, "Fine, I'll attempt to...be nice." He vanished as I walked up the steps. My dad knocked on the door and held the bags in his bandaged hand.

The door opened and all I could smell was smoke. I coughed loudly, "Well if it isn't my sister Cecilia and the family." She hugged and kissed us.

"Hello." I said happily.

"And if you aren't little Amelia, your as cute as when I last saw you."

I giggled. "Can I stop being nice now?" Cieto asked.

"No." I said in my head. We were invited in the house, the place was huge in the inside like a mansion. Turns out the smoke was coming from the backyard.

"There Harry goes again burning down the place once again."

"Oh quiet women. Who wants burgers?"

"I do! I do!"

"Well get ready, your room is upstairs to your left."

"I have a room!?" I rushed up the steps and stopped at the top, "Umm Cieto where's left?" Cieto sighed and stood in front of one of the doors.

"Your room is here." I walked to the room, it was painted in bright purple and sky blue.

"This is amazing!" I ran inside and spun around. Cieto stood in a corner with his arms folded. I stopped spinning and looked at him, "Why don't you smile?"

"Demons don't smile."

"Do they have fun?"

He looked up at me and smirked, "Fun is what we do best."

I smiled and laid on my bed, "That's good."

"What's so good about it?"

My aunt knocked on the door and I sat up. She smiled at me, "Foods ready." I nodded and rushed downstairs.

"Fun huh?"

I had another nightmare again but this time it was different then the others. I was in a dark forest running from something,  it went swiftly through the trees in great speed. I know I couldn't escape it but I kept running. "Cieto! Cieto help me!" I tripped and fell to the ground, there was laughter and I watched as the trees fell and the creature gaining speed.

"You have spilled far too much of my children's blood and I will no longer stand and watch. By order of our king you shall be put to death!"

I screamed and jumped out of my sleep, my room was freezing cold. I could see my breath, and ice lacing the walls and the dresser. The room was dark with only a small light coming from the moon outside. Suddenly a gust of wind blew in and the lamp on the dresser next to me flashed. There was a monkey on the floor with cymbals, its eyes glowed red and it began moving on its own. I could see its back, there were no batteries. The monkey slammed the cymbals louder and louder, the wind blew harder and the light flickered faster. I was scared...I yelled and screamed for my mom but no one came. The closet screeched as it opened and closed with the wind. "MOMMY!"

I woke up again out of breath. I looked around and everything finally seemed normal. I got up and closed the window before putting the toy monkey in my toy box and pushing it into the closet. I kept the light on, and sat on my bed wrapping my arms around my legs. "There are no such thing as monsters...there are no such thing as monsters..."

"There's no reason to be afraid Amelia, it was only a dream." Cieto's voice said in my head.

I took a deep breath, "Your right, were just going to go to sleep and nothing is going to happen." I grabbed my stuffed bear off the dresser and hugged it tightly.

The wind blew again, "There back..." Cieto whispered.

"Who's back?" I asked frightened. The toy monkey started up again, I turned my head to see it next to me and I jumped back. "You said it was just a dream Cieto!"

"Some dreams are so real they become reality, you must fight it. Go to sleep and it will leave."

I closed my eyes and rocked back in forth, I heard a loud electric sound and suddenly my light bulb broke, glass flew everywhere and I shrieked. "Its not working!"

"Calm down...take a deep breath..." I was shaking all over and I couldn't stop it. "The angels come and dance around for they heard a loving sound of the one and only beautiful song of the princess known as Amelia." Cieto sung imitating my mother's voice.

My shaking slowed, "I'm not afraid...I'm not afraid...I'm not afraid..." The wind and toy monkey stopped and there was only silence. I looked up and heard a creaking sound.

Suddenly a dark figure jumped onto the bed and hissed, "HEY DEMON OVER HERE!" Cieto slashed it with his claws and looked at me, I screamed.

My mom and dad ran in and calmed me down, "You said the monsters wouldn't find me here...you were wrong mommy...you were wrong..." My mom turned to my dad.

The next morning my mom, uncle, and dad were going out shopping and I was left to spend time with my aunt. Turns out I was bored out of my mind and was left to stare out the window from my room, it was pouring rain outside. "Is this feeling what you call boredom?" Cieto asked.

I nodded, "There's nothing to do." I sighed loudly and sat on the floor. "Play with me Cieto." I grabbed my dolls and handed him one, "Here take Lacey, she's brave."

"Brave? But she's made out of plastic and can be easily broken." He snapped her in half, "See?"

"No Cieto that's not how you play your supposed to treat them like there real, look." I grabbed two dolls, "Hi Ms.Senica what a great day were having." I moved the other doll, "Certainly Ms.Clarke a wonderful day indeed." I looked up at him, "See?" Cieto looked at me weird.

"Simulating daily casual conversation is considered fun to you?"

I sighed and stood up, "Nevermind." I walked downstairs and to the kitchen where my aunt was cooking.  "Can I get a snack?" I asked.

"Not yet sweetie its almost time to eat and your parents should be home soon." I sighed in disappointment.

Cieto smiled and looked at me, "Want to see how demons have fun?" I nodded and Cieto concentrated on the cookie jar on top of the counter. The top opened when my aunt wasn't looking and cookies began flying out of it and towards me. I grabbed them and ran upstairs. 

"Woo look at all of these cookies!" I stuffed one in my mouth, "Thanks Cieto."

He smirked, "I'm just getting started, how about we mess with some stuff."

"But what if we get caught?"

He laughed, "We won't, now come on." I stuffed another cookie in my mouth and followed. We walked into my aunt's room, I ran to her makeup mirror and put some on.

"How do I look?" Cieto picked up a lip gloss stick and began writing on the mirror.

"No Cieto, we'll get caught for sure." Diego drops the lip gloss and goes straight to the closet.

"This dress looks pretty, why don't we decorate it and the walls too while were here."

"That doesn't sound like a good idea Cieto."

"Come on Amelia it will be fun, you love to draw and decorate don't you."

"Yeah...but..."

"I'm sure she'll love the fact that your doing something nice for her."

I nodded, "Maybe your right." I went in my room and grabbed my crayons and glitter, Maybe we should do mom and dad's room too."

"Great idea." I started drawing and tossed glitter everywhere. Once we were down everything upstairs sparkled in color.

I smiled, "I think we did a good job."

"Agreed, now about the bathroom?"

"We can clog the toliet and make a water slide!" I cheered. Cieto grinned. I stuffed toliet paper in the toliet, sink and tub and turned on the water. Then we mixed liquids like rubbing alcohol and body wash. "Look Cieto I'm a scientist. Bam!" I twirled around in the hallway, "What's next?" I asked.

"Ever seen time fly?" I shook my head and Cieto lead me to the attic, it was pretty dusty up there.

"What is this place?"

"Its the attic where people place useless things that used to belong to them."

"Why do they keep it?" I ask.

"Because they can't seem to throw it away. Why don't we help." I nodded in agreement. Cieto placed a garbage can below and I started tossing things out the window.

"10 points, wooo hooo!" I tossed something else and other junk. I smiled, "That's 300 for me and 250 for you, I'm on a role." I said cheering. "Hey Cieto next let's play soccer, okay?"

"Amelia?" I turned around to see my aunt walking up the ladder right when I was about to drop a pile of magazines.

"Oh hi Aunty..." My aunt had me wait until mom and dad came home to speak to me about how what i did was wrong.

"What has gotten into you young lady, you completely disobeyed the rules."

"But it wasn't..."

"What were you thinking, writing on the walls, throwing things out the window, flooding the house?!"

"But Dad it wasn't my fault it was Cieto, it was his idea."

"Look you have to take responsibility for your actions not your dumb imaginary friends!" My uncle shouted.

"CIETO IS REAL!" Suddenly the lights and tv flickered on and off. I ran to my room and suddenly the sink pipe busted and the boiling pot whistled. I slammed the door and jumped in my bed. "This is all your fault Cieto!"

"Amelia...look at them they don't understand you like I do."

"Shut up!" I threw my pillow at him, "Its your fault so don't talk to me anymore!"

"Amelia please."

"Just go away Cieto, just go away..." I started crying in my bed until I fell asleep.
