I figured since I love The Secret Saturdays so much and I've started to re-watch the show I'd try to write a fanfic. So yeah…sadly I don't own the characters accept for my own and I don't own the show either.
Doc was sitting in peace enjoying the peace for minute. Well, until his son's voice broke that peace…
"Please, mom, please let me keep her" Zak begged slightly looking Drew.
"No. Zak you can't keep every Cryptid that comes along!" Drew looked down at her son, who was giving very convincing puppy dog eyes. Then her gaze shifted to the Cryptid sitting next to Zak's feet. It was a wolf like creature. The Cryptid was the size of Komodo, except taller. It was a creamy white color with dull amber eyes and fangs popping out of its half open mouth; its tongue was hanging out also. Its fur was long and silky soft looking and the tail was swaying slightly on the ground.
"Mom, she needs me! Can't you see she's hurt?" Zak was telling the truth. The beast had bandages along its left hind leg.
"Come on Drew; let him keep her at least until she's healed. You never had a problem with keeping Cryptid's in the past, why now?"
"Yeah, why now?"
"Look kept it, but keep your eye on her…there's something weird about it."
"YES!" Zak jumped with joy. He smiled at the Cryptid and pulled her gentility down the hall and towards his room. "I guess I should check that gash on your leg, huh?" The best made somewhat of a purring noise and jumped up onto his bed. Making its self-comfortable and lying down. Zak unwrapped the bandages and inspected the deep gash. I wonder how this could've happened. He looked up hearing Fiskerton playing with the new beasts floppy ears that stood up slightly. Quickly he replaced the bandages and stood up. "Well time to name her…what do you think Fiskerton?" He replied with the usual mumbles and grunts. "Aki" Zak smiled, "that's your name now Aki."
Meanwhile Doc was sitting with his wife outside. "What did you mean when you told Zak to keep his eye on the Cryptid?"
Drew just shook her head, "There's just something off about her. She doesn't seem like a normal Cryptid, like Komodo or Fiskerton."
"What could possibly be wrong with her?"
"AHHH!" At that moment both drew and Doc jumped up, hearing their son scream. They both raced down the hall and towards the bathroom. Zak was standing outside the doorway holding his arm.
"Zak what happened!?" Drew ran to her son, in worry. His arm was bleeding and there was a large bite mark. "Did that thing bite you?"
"No, mom it's fine, really. I was just trying to give it a bath, that's all. She must not like the water!" Zak smiled, "well now I know, ha-ha."
"Zak this is not the time to be playing around! What if that thing is toxic? What if-"
"Dad, what are you doing to Aki?" Zak asked, interrupting Drew's worry filled rant.
"Zak..." Doc sighed, "We can't keep this Cryptid in the house until we know more about her." He tugged Aki out of the tub of warm water and pulled gently by the scruff of her neck.
"Whoa dad you're not going to just kick here out like that!"
"I never said that, we'll keep her tied up tonight and we'll do some research tomorrow, maybe we can find more Cryptid's like her." Reluctantly Zak let his father take Aki outside. He'd pried himself from his mother's grip and went back to his room, except this time he left Fiskerton out. Crossing his arms he looked put his window to see Doc tying Aki up. A rope loosely around her neck and another tied her muzzle shut, something like a make shift muzzle.
After that he began to feel sleep over take his mind. So he crawled into bed, yawning. Zak slept peacefully for an hour or three before something pushing against his door. Groaning slightly her forced his eyes open and got out of bed. It's probably just Fiskerton… he thought to himself. He opened the door excepting to see his tall Cryptid friend, but instead had to look down to see his newest friend Aki standing and looking up at him. "How did you get back in here?" He glanced down the hall, both left and right. Expecting to see His mom or dad had brought Aki back in. Aki was wagging her tail back and forth and panting like a happy dog.
Snakingly he made sure neither Doc nor Drew was in sight and let his new friend in. "Come on Aki, you shouldn't have to sleep in the cold." He smiled and got back into his bed, pulling the covers over his body and yawning once more. Aki stood in the middle of the room for a minute before walking to the foot of his bed. She made a purring noise again and hoped up onto Zak's bed. "No" he mumbled "get off…" He mumbled in annoyance, but made no effort to kick the Cryptid away. Aki simply lied down next to him and closed her eyes. It was when she lied next to him, he realized from head to her hind legs she matched his own height. And he could feel her claw digging into his shoulder slightly.
He wasn't really bothered with the fact of her silky sort, but scratchy and itchy, fur rubbing against his skin. He sneezed when the fur of her ear brushed against his nose. Again he heard her purring like sound from the back of her throat and deep from her chest. "Stop moving. I'm trying to sleep." Snorting slightly the new beast shoved its cold wet nose into his neck and her tail found its way wrapping around his leg. Zak smiled at the feeling, he felt, well, safe. Not that he didn't without the beast. There was just something about her that was different than the other Cryptid's he'd met before.
And that's what he liked about her.
