That evening, after dinner, I went into my bedroom and start head towards my computer desk. There, I press the button on the system so that my computer can boot up. Then I head towards my fingerprint scanner and start plugging in before press on the POWER button. For awhile, I have been researching The Baroillain and Haddie the Monster ever since an article of The Washington Post that I read about weeks ago. But first I have to get to the bottom of this demon, which you, as a reader, have already know. While I was waiting for both my computer and my fingerprint scanner to boot up, I walked towards my bookshelf and took out the Evil Creature Encyclopedia book and start flipping through the pages as I’m researching if Delvin the Demon - the demon that, again, you already know by now - was really a demon. Another few moments later, I found what it seems to be the closest one.
I start skim and scan the words while remembering the evil creature that I saw earlier that day as I was trying to describe it; however, from reading the article, it seems to be clear that the type of evil creature, that I just found in the encyclopedia, doesn’t seem to be accurate for the aforementioned evil creature itself. It says an anthropomorphic demon, but I wasn't known for sure.
As I was reading the research article, I heard a sound of a beep that the fingerprint scanner is ready. I then put the book down on the bed with the book opened and grabbed my pouch before I unzip it and take out the transparent sticker - that has the fingerprint of Delvin the Demon - and walked towards the fingerprint scanner. There, I placed the fingerprint sticker on the scanning platform. After that, I activate the fingerprint scanner. The machine whirrs to life, emitting a soft glow as it analyzes the unique patterns on the evil creature's fingerprint.
Then the soft glow of the computer screen started to fill my room as my computer had already booted up. I walked backed towards my computer where I log in my credentials. After that, my computer screen went into the desktop menu as my computer is almost finishing booting up.
But I’m too anxious to wait until my computer finishing booting up as I’m apparently desperate to see which type of an evil creature the said evil creature is. I double click on the internet browser icon. After that, I would wait for the evil creature fingerprint data browser to start it up. Yeah I know, ironic, especially that I can’t wait for my computer to finishing booting and I ended up waiting for the internet browser to start it up. Most because…my computer hadn’t finish booting up fully yet.
As I'm waiting for my computer to finishing booting up, I then quickly went back towards the fingerprint scanner where it completes its analysis, and a holographic projection of the creature's fingerprints appears on a large screen. I study the data, determined to unravel the evil creature's identity.
Then as the browser on my computer finally launched, I then head back towards my computer and sat down on my gamer chair and quickly typed in the resulted fingerprint data. Then the computer screen goes to blank page with the word "Loading.." at the center of it. Then the screen changes to The Information Database where there's a live shot of the data on one vertical side and the digital databases themselves with thumbnails on the other with two tabs, databases and live map. The live map features red evil creature icons that either active or currently not active. I then click on the live map tab, which then showed the live map of Baltimore Washington on the same vertical side.
There, I type in Southern Watermelon High School in the address bar before pressing the enter button on my keyboard. The live map then takes me to the designated area where I saw several red evil creature icons, most of which are confirmed dead while the rest are currently not active, not dead until confirmed. I then click on the red evil creature icon that is near the school's back entrance. It's where this evil creature was last seen, being defeated by my new BFFs Cinnamon and Cymberly. When I click on it, there was a big dialog box that is near the icon.
Now usually, when you click on the icon that matches the evil creature that you saw or even know, you get information already. But apparently not this case, there was no screenshot of a fingerprint been inserted nor information. Just only a name: Delvin. As well as status saying: "Currently Not Active". Therefore I had to go back to the Databases tab. There, I started to meticulously analyze what type of the evil creature, navigating through databases, trying to find a match or a connection to the identity of the evil creature. Then I found info - Number 2875849 - that has a screenshot of a fingerprint that looks familiar.
I then get up out of my gamer chair and went back toward the evil creature encyclopedia book, which is still opened to the anthropomorphic demon section. It was when I started to connect the dots as I was drawing an obvious conclusion: Delvin is an anthropomorphic demon. So I go back to the live map tab, which goes back to the area it left off with the dialog box still displayed. I then start insert in the information into the box and click the 'Change Status" link. There's another dialog box but this time is at the center of my screen and it reads:
Change Status
Is it alive or dead?
Alive Dead
I then click 'Dead' to confirm the evil creature through The Information Database so I can let the evil creature hunting community to know that Delvin the Demon is confirmed dead.

After that, I close out the evil creature fingerprint browser, which results my computer screen changing back to the desktop. Now it's time for me to research The Baroillain and Haddie the Monster. I then double click on the web browser.
He sifted through various websites, forums, and ancient texts, each providing a piece of the puzzle. His eyes scanned lines of text, searching for any mention of the specific information of the creature he had witnessed.
I sat at my desk, staring intently at the computer screen. The browser finally launches.
"Come on...," I said to myself under my breath.
I then rapidly enter the keywords ‘The Baroillain’ and ‘Haddie the Monster’ into the search box. The keyboards sound like they are struck to the core when I type with urgency. I then hit the Enter key. And from what I'm currently seeing on my computer's monitor, there is a lot of information including different web sides, forums and ancient references that I swift through, clicking links, opening pages and reading articles.
"There's got to be something here," I muttered with my eyes scanning through the pages of the book. My thoughts fill with the examination of the textual lines where I can find something related to the peculiarities of the evil creatures that I witnessed.
“Alright let's not procrastinate, Calhoun” I told myself.
My fingers glide on the keypad gracefully, helping me searching through the complicated labyrinth of the web. I started opening forums, reading old papers and was going through various websites, putting the text scroll as with the articles claiming that the two evil creatures are monsters, and they're mother and daughter and they're arguing at each other and The Baroillain has a stupid-ass machine that doesn't work and Haddie flunk a test and they're looking for this powerful device that can impact humanity and blah, blah, blah. Okay, I'm not entirely sure what to make of these wild claims, but one thing is for certain – I need to dig deeper to separate fact from fiction and wonder if any of these claims are true.
And to do that, I have to go to The Information Database again, this time in its viewing-only web browser option. There I type in the same names of the two evil creatures before I press the Enter button on my keyboard again. After that, the screen changes to a 'Loading...' page for a few seconds before it changes to a split screen where there's information about The Baroillain is on the left and information on Haddie on the right. As I scroll down, the details have already confirmed some of the claims: that they're monsters (yes, Haddie the Monster is a monster but I even still wasn't know for sure up until now), they're mother and daughter and they're looking for the powerful device that hasn't been named in the database.
Then I discover an intriguing link in both of the screens: "The Baroillain and Haddie the Monster stole Delvin the Demon's device."
"Hmmmm! I will take it from here," I said.
I then click on it, which takes me to the article page, discovering a peculiar passage that catches my attention. I read through the information, the information that Delvin the Demon had created a device that the two female monsters stole it. The info says that the three evil creature don't get along. Delvin hangs out with The Baroillain and Haddie for some time but the two female monster pass so much gas, it led into an argument between Delvin and those two. Also there's this fact that Delvin's plans are cleaver to the female monsters but he's not gonna share them to them nor any other evil creature, much to their distain. The article delves deeper in that Delvin was planning to use the device the same way that The Baroillain and Haddie are currently planning, though the sources in this article never confirm what is the plan. They just heard that the two female monsters have overheard Delvin's plan and they steel his device and, apparently, his plan. The article also states that Delvin's device has been stolen before and that he found it twice by smelling the same particular foul smell from other muscular female monsters and since his device is stolen once again, he is trying his best to look around Washington, D.C. to look for his device.
Nearing the end of the article, I saw a screenshot of Delvin's fingerprint that intrigued me.
"Wait, this seems familiar," I said.
I compare the details in the text with my memory of the fights between the demon and Cinnamon and Cymberly, trying my best to connect the dots. As I'm drawing my own observations, the puzzle pieces start to fit together: Delvin the Demon smell that same 'particular foul smell' when he met Cinnamon and in this case, that same foul smell happened to be Cinnamon's foul smell when she passed gas.
"This might be it," I muttered again. "He was mistakenly believe that Cinnamon was the one who stole it."
Though he didn't explicitly say that she stole it, so I theorize that had he knocked her dead or unconscious, he will search through the pockets of her jeans to find out if she's the one who stole it. Now, Cinnamon doesn't stole anything, she was mistaken by that evil creature.
"That's so interesting," I muttered yet again.
I then click on the 'Back' link to go back to the split screen. There, I continued to slowly scroll down until I found the location coordinates that matched together, that happened to be their current location. The current location that they live.
"Whoa," I said as I didn't find those coordinates before when I first research them.
I then click on the coordinates which takes me to the live map of that designated area where two red evil creature icons - identifying as The Baroillain and Haddie - are currently placed in. I believe to be their home or their headquarters or something. Once I found it, I gotta do something to absorb this new info before I brainfart.
"I gotta write this location on a paper now," I said as I take out a paper out of the printer, then take a pencil before I start writing the location coordinates that are show on my screen. And yes, I'm planning to visit those two female monsters sometime later. Why? Because I need to get to the bottom of this, the bottom of their lives, the bottom of the device they stole and unravel the mystery that surrounds them.
Once I finish writing, I quickly fold the paper and placed on the desk. After that, I take a deep breath, equipping myself for the adventure into the unknown that lies ahead. I gather the required materials and get ready for the encounter with those mysterious female monsters with a determined look in my eyes, ready to take on any obstacles in my path of discovery. I probably go there if I had time, but for now, I'm focusing on preparing on the first day of high school.
