After a whole year of seeing and associating with monsters, I got used to them. I even had a monster-friend named Keejay or "eechay" (as I called him at the time.)
Like any other child, I copied my surroundings, and since I spent more than the necessary time with monsters, I picked up many of their traits. I became violent, rough and bitey; I used to bite people a lot.
My behavior worried my parents a lot and I don't blame them for that. However, I do blame them for their primitive nature. It's like they were unaware of how normal children respond to their surroundings, they copy the people or things around them. Infact, since they were the ones who took me to Keejay's home all the time, they should have expected his and his family's traits to rub off on me.
According to my parents, I acted the way I did because of desires. So with the influence of my aunt Cara, they took me to Dr. Baren, the guy who was w spreading all this desire shit, to test out my "signs" and determine exactly what I was truly destined to be. What bull crap!
At first my parents were hesitant, but they gave in when I bit a fellow child at the park during a playdate. The boy's parents wanted to sue mine for this and they first had to be bribed to calm down. Out of anger, my parents took me to Dr. Baren for testing.
A few days after the incident, my parents woke me up very early in the morning, prepared me hastily and then we set off. I kept asking where we were going but they paid a deaf ear. After a while of silent driving, we arrived at some huge sky scraper. My mother and I went in as my father parked the car.
The building was futuristic. Ofcourse, the little me noticed none of these futuristic achievements in the building, all that went through my mind at the time was; Why are we here? Is this a space station, are we going to space?
We sat for a while and waited for my father to walk in. When he did, he spoke to the receptionist for a little while and then we proceeded to the elevator. We went up to the 18th story and we walked up to door number 3 on the left which we walked into.
The entire building was very bright but this room was brighter.
"Whoa!"I exclaimed
"Hello," my father said
"Come in, I was expecting you, Mr and Mrs Steinfeld."said a manly voice that seemed to come from a further part of the room. The person speaking was adorned in white and this made it hard to see him from a distance, however, the closer we got the clearer he became.
As he spoke to my parents, they kept addressing him as Dr. Baren so I got the idea that he was Dr. Baren.
Dr. Baren was an aged white man with white hair all over his head. He had gray beards on his face. He wore a white lab coat with a white shirt underneath it. His pants and boots were also white. He looked the images of Jesus that I had often seen in children bible books, without the long brown hair and sandals, also having modern day clothes instead of some kind of gown and robe. Other than that, everything was the same. He spoke soothingly, with a deep voice. He sounded great to me then.
"Suzie," he called out just then and a not so tall brown woman appeared. She had black hair which was not so long. She wore glasses, and she also wore a lab coat. She wore a short black dress underneath the lab coat and black high heels. In her hands was a notepad and a pen. She seemed serious and tough but as time went by I realized she was none of these things. Obviously, her voice was way softer than that of Dr. Baren.
" Desire, this is my assistant, Suzie. She is going to take you to the testing room and I'll meet you there shortly," Dr Baren said looking at me. Suzie stretched out her hand with the aim of holding mine which I gave to her. We walked slowly to a big room, filled with big machines. She showed me a chair and told me to sit. My wait was not long because after a while Dr Baren showed up having nothing new on him but gloves, he sat down and we began our session.
