- >Your satyr wakes you up and say they thought they saw a monster in the closet. What do
- "Daaaaadddd"
- >Daddy grunts, and fumbles on the bedside table to try and find the lamp, but you do the job for him, and turn on the bedroom light.
- "There's something under my bed."
- >Grumbling, he lifts the bed covers.
- "Nuh-uh, I'm a big girl now, I want to sleep in my room. But there's a monster in it."
- >He grumbles again, and you go and poke him.
- "Please?"
- >You feel your eyes start to well up again, but you start blinking furiously, trying to hold them back.
- >You're a big girl and you have Mr Claws with you and you're not going to cry again because even though it's really scary Daddy will fix everth-
- >With a leap, you jump onto the bed, and pull the covers over your head.
- >Everybody knows monsters can't get you under the covers.
- >You press up against Daddy's back and give him a small hug. Because he needs to be brave too.
- >He shrugs out of your grip.
- >"Fine, Hope, I'll go sort out the monster. Then will you go back to bed?"
- >You nod.
- >He sighs, but slides out of bed.
- >"Come on, I need someone to watch my back. There might be more."
- >Your face doesn't drain of blood, because you're a big strong girl.
- >And you're only holding Daddy's hand to help protect him from the monster.
- >Quietly, the both of you sneak through the house, into the living room.
- >Daddy picks up the poker, and stirs the embers in the fireplace.
- >He mutters something about the Susan method, but you don't understand.
- "Is that from monster hunting school?"
- >"Sure, just after herb gathering. C'mon, kiddo."
- >He picks you up, and holds you on his hip.
- >You clutch tight, but that's to make sure Mr Claws doesn't fall off, because he's scared of heights and can be silly.
- >"Right, I'll go in on three. You stand here and shout at it, try to scare it off. I'll give it a good thwack, try and chase it off. Okay?"
- >You nod.
- >He puts you down.
- >"One."
- >"Two."
- >"THREE!"
- >You start yelling, and slapping the walls.
- >Daddy throws himself through the door, then slams it shut behind him.
- >"Come on out, mon-HOLY FUCKING CHRIST!"
- >CLANG
- >There's a thud from your room.
- >Then another thump.
- >Silence.
- "Daddy?"
- >He comes out, without the poker.
- "Did you get it?"
- >"Yeah... Yeah I did. But I think it's probably best if you stay with me tonight."
- >He takes you back to his room, and tucks you in, then gives you a kiss on the forehead.
- "Can you turn the lights off Daddy?"
- >"Nope."
- "But it's too light!"
- >"You just try your best anyway sweetie. And... Can I borrow Mr Claws?"
