First Time For Everything

[ Art is now finally 2 years old and he can talk and walk perfectly to a surprise. Well, he was an early learner from birth and you know the plot armor of an MC in a story. so it is just the natural thing to happen.]

"Hey, Art! Daddy's home. What are you doing champ?"

"Nothing that much interesting Daddy. I was just talking to the doll that we bought the other day."

"Oh yeah. Come here and see what I brought. your favorites....dark chocolates and the torch you are so fixated on."

"But I still don't understand what you need that torch for? I never saw you that much excited. What are you planning to do with that?"

"Something interesting, Daddy."

"Tell me about it "

"No, that's a secret."

"Hey, you two.....dinner's ready."

"Coming Mom..." x2

"hey, Dad why do you also call mom, MOM?"

"Well, because your mom is a mom."

"Then will you call every mom on this planet MOM?"

"NO, that's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?"

"umm"

"Come on, dinner's gonna be cold"

"First let's go ....otherwise Elina will get angry."

"Now you are talking Dad, let's go"

[skip the dinner part....just normal chit-chats]

"Good night Mom. Good night Dad. I am going to my room."

"You can always sleep with us, Art."

"Thank you Mom but I just want to sleep alone. You and Dad enjoy....*winks*"

"You naughty!"

[Mr. and Mrs. Grey's conversations in their room]

"Chris, don't you find art strange? I mean he's just 2 years old and look at him, he can do anything just perfectly. Isn't it strange when you are just too perfect?"

"Honey, you are just overthinking. Art is just a genius."

"Yeah, you are right. He's just awesome."

"Yes"

"Good night Chris"

"But Art said to have fun."

"Sleep!"

"Okay, Mam."

***Meanwhile in Art's room***

"It's almost 1.30 AM. Mom and Dad should be asleep right now. Now I can finally do it."

"Mr. Doll, now here's only you and me. We can finally talk and play to our heart's content. Come out. I know you are there. You can't hide from my eyes."

[**screech** **screech** **screech**] [suddenly the doll's eyes become red and it stands up and starts talking]

*In a demonic voice* "You said you can see me?"

"Yes, I did"

"Hmm"

"Hey, why are you so silent?"

"I am just thinking. Are you really brave or just stupid?"

"That's rude."

*laughs horrifically* " You're very strange."

"First you bought me from that old dusty store. Then took me to your room and started talking with me every damn single time whenever you are alone."

"Why you did that?"

"Simple, because I find you interesting."

"Oh, but now I want to feed on your soul"

"You can't do that, Mr. Ghost"

"Why so?"

"Because of this"

[Art turns the torch on and points it into the mirror which he already put before talking to the doll. Then looked into the reflection of the ghost ]

"See, Mr. Ghost. Now you are locked in prison."

"What? You're funny. Let's end it quickly"

"Wait! Why I can't move? What's happening?"

"HeHe, Mr. Ghost got scared."

"What's going on? Huh! Why my reflection is in the mirror?"

"I am a dark entity. No mirror can have my reflection. It's impossible!"

"Yeah, It was not easy at all. You're strong Mr. Ghost."

"But I'm stronger and I've also some powers you know."

"I always wanted to have a pet ghost and finally I have some."

"Yay! I'm so happy."

"Huhhh!!"

"Well, You see...My eyes are very powerful...I can imprison anything with the power of my eyes if it doesn't have an actual body."

"And I can see beyond any human can ever imagine."

"I was born with it. "

"Are you confused, why did I freeze you?"

"I always had a thing for the dark and guys like you. My dream is to find every one of you and collect them."

"Why? Because I like them."

"Shouldn't I do what I like!"

"Oh! And the torch was to fixate my powers exactly into your reflection...otherwise, I would mess up the whole room you know. I didn't quite master my powers and there's many left to discover yet."

"Now, here we go."

[Art took a deep breath and ate the soul just like candy]

"That was delicious but it was a little one. Now I want to know how different the other ones will taste?"

"Oops! I shouldn't laugh that much ...otherwise, Mom and Dad will be awake. Let's go to sleep for real now."

"hee hee! It's my first time eating a soul."

***To The Readers***

[ That's how slowly but surely Art will find out about his otherworldly powers and how to use them. He will be on a hunt to find every single dark soul as his interest in them keeps growing.]
