Summary: Justin doesn't believe in the boogeyman. It was just stories he tell to his younger sister, Alex, to scare her. Years later, Alex releases a monster onto Waverly Place. Can Justin and his team of monster hunters stop it?

A/N: Not a huge fan of WOWP but I love David! Ooh, he is so fine! I wished he was in the Monster hunting course a bit longer though. Could be a great spin-off! This is based off of McLP's Don't Fall In Love With Me.

"And when you act bad or don't behave," a seven year old Justin told his little sister Alex. "The boogeyman comes and takes you under the bed and…"

He paused for dramatic effect which worked on Alex. Alex began to shake into the corner she was bunched up in.

"He eats you!" he growled, which made Alex screamed and cried so loud it made their mother come in.

"Alex! Justin!" she cried out their name. Since the room is dark she flicked on the lights to see that Justin was standing with a guilty look on his face while Alex continued to cry in the corner.

"Justin!" his mother turned her head towards him. "What did you do to your sister?"

"N-nothing, mom!" Justin lied. His mother scowled at him until he confessed. "Ok, I told her a story."

"A scary one?"

"Yes, mom." Justin sighed. "But it was only to get back at her from tear my book!"

"Justin that is no excuse to scare your sister!" his mother wags her finger at him. "Now apologized and promise you won't scare her anymore."

Justin made a look between disgust and anger but when he looked at Alex who was now whimpering. His facial expression softened.

"I'm sorry, Alex" he apologized. "I won't ever scare you again."

"Promise?" Alex wept, her brown eyes watery.

"Promise."

Thirteen years and one more promise later…

"If you don't be a good girl, tonight the boogeyman will come and get you." a mother told her small daughter, who looks like she could be the age of five or six. The little girl has a lighter shade of blond hair than her mother's and her eyes are a bright green color. The little girl clutch onto a small teddy bear that she held close to her small chest.

"How would you know mommy?" she asked in all childlike innocence. Her eyes quickly scan her tiny little pink bedroom. It was nicely clean except for the various stuff animals and color books that liter the floors. "I was good all day!" Her mother smiled warmly at her daughter, lifting a finger up to her as she wave it back and forth.

"Now, now. What did I tell you about lying." she lightly scolded her. "I knew it was you who took some cookies out of the jar before dinner when you were strictly told not to do so! Now the boogeyman would come after you and eat you up for telling such a white lie."

"Oh no! Mommy, please!" the little girl whined, tears brimming her eyes waiting to burst at any moment. "Please don't let the boogeyman get me!"

Her mother couldn't help it but smile even more as she ruffles her daughter's hair then placing a chaste kiss on her forehead.

"If you pull the covers over your head then the boogeyman couldn't find you." was all she said before getting up from her spot and heading towards the door. She place her finger on the light switch, turning her head back slightly to face her daughter who was now cowering beneath her sheets. "Goodnight, dear."

With a quick motion the lights were off leaving her daughter drape with the light of the moon from her window. Her mother left the door ajar to the well-lit hallway as she made her way down to her very own room. The little girl quickly pulls the sheets up higher hoping that the dreaded monster her father use to talk about won't come for her tonight.

The woman enters her bedroom only clothed in a light sleepwear. She walked to the empty king size bed with dread and relief. She rests herself against the smooth silks letting out a heavy sigh from her lips. The woman stares up at her ceiling, her mind wondering to her missing bedmate. She turns onto her side to look at the empty bed spot. She knew that he was out tonight doing work but she couldn't help it but feel alone. It has been awhile since he shares his bed with her and the night became restless.

The woman shifted her form in the bed again to face the alarm clock. The red numbers shown it was half past midnight. The woman force herself to close her eyes letting sleep take over. But the growing, aching pain in her heart kept her awake otherwise.

Then she heard something, the noise was faint, distant. The woman kept her eyes close figuring it was only the cat was messing around with something. She was in no mood to punish the feline for its nightly behavior. She shifted in her current position so that she could possibly bury her head deeper into the pillow to drown out any further noises.

Thump

The woman eyes shot open at the sound of that. The noise was loud but defiantly coming from downstairs, the kitchen most likely. The woman halted her breathing as she listens in for more noises. The minutes tick by as sweat began to form on her forehead.

Thump

The woman sat up on her bed right then having her elbows support her. That noise was not her cat, not the cat at all. Her breathing increase as she panted heavily fearing it's a burglar or a thief or even worse, someone that want to cause harm to her and her daughter. The woman closes her eyes and maintains her breathing, she needed to calm down and think rationally. Reaching over to the nightstand pulling out the small drawer, she felt the cold metal object that she was looking for and pulled it out.

Holding a tight, firm grip on the gun she check to make sure that there was bullets inside and the safety was off. Tossing the covers off of her she made her way quietly yet swiftly down the stairs making sure she doesn't alert the intruder.

The woman was now sweating buckets as her heart keeps beating in her ears. The woman sweat buckets as her heartbeat into her ears. When she turned a corner, she spotted something and began to let out a bloodcurdling scream.

In another building far from the woman and child's house, Alex sat on top of the ledge looking through a pair of binoculars with a satisfying smirk on her lips.

"Looks like the boogeyman is real, Justin."

The Monster Hunter Society is a group made up full of monster hunters and historians. They hunt and research about mythical creatures of all kinds. The Society is also a secret kept from the world for many generations and work in secret. Mythical creatures do exist in the world as they live amongst the humans/mortals in peace or some don't live in peace with humans. They pull tricks, steal and even kill humans to get their way which is why the MHS does everything in their power to contain these certain creatures.

Justin Russo has been a part of MHS for six years now and he mature into one of the finest members of MHS. The Heads of the Society consider him one of the best which bring joy to his father. Justin Russo will carry the family name into monster hunting while his younger brother Max will carry on the family name in the sub-shop. Now Justin had another sibling named Alex but she was disowned from the family years ago because she devoted herself loyally to Justin which turned into a budding romance. Its forbidden to fall in love with a sibling but Alex couldn't help herself so for that she was ban from the Society and disowned from the family. She was never seen or heard from again but that was only two years ago. Justin is now twenty years old and has grown into a fine young man who is currently seeing two girls. One of them his teammate, Alexia, and the other is a vampire.

Justin was walking to the library inside the Society secret lair when he spotted his friend Warrick leaning against the door. Warrick has been Justin friend for most of his life and was always more wiser then Justin. He was consider the brains and strategist of their team.

"Hey, Warrick." Justin greeted him with a handshake then a fist bump. "What's up?"

"A mission has come up," Warrick stated as he got off the wall as he adjusted his glasses. Justin could tell from Warrick's body stance that the mission was gruesome. His tired brown eyes were a dead giveaway.

"Ok, where's Dante and Alexia?"

"Dante is picking up Alexia right now," Warrick explained as he put his hands behind his back. His forearms flex his well tone muscles. Their uniforms were black muscle shirts and pants with a symbolic MHS imprinted on their right side.

"Ok, ready to go?"

"After you."

When they arrived at the scene of the crime, Justin could see Alexia standing outside the house bent over by the grass. She hurl again as she vomit onto the freshly cut grass. Justin got out of Warrick's car to embrace her but alexia kept her distance away from him.

"Don't touch me," she spoke in-between breathes. "I look disgusting don't I?"

To be truthful, the brunette beauty was far from disgusting. Her long brown hair was still neatly brushed as her skin radiated in the sun and her green eyes stare back into Justin's brown ones with love and sadness. Alexia is still new to Justin's team and she is the one who finally replace Alex after the team went through numerous newbies. Alexia originated from the MHS of Chicago, she was the best in her team and was born into the Society by her parents when they were her age.

"No, you look the opposite," Justin reassured her as he put a hand on her back. "Is Dante still inside the house?"

"Yeah," Alexia nodded her head as she began to stand up straight. "I think he's still in the kids bedroom." Justin nodded his head as he patted her back more. Alexia couldn't stand the sight of children being dead and it would haunt til the end of time.

"Do you want to sit down or?"

"I'll be fine. Just canvas the place and I'll join you guys in a few."

Justin nodded his head as he gave Alexia a hug and moved his focus onto the house that stood before them, Warrick was already moving into the house as Justin followed on his heels. Part of their work was to investigate, conclude what kind of being is behind the mess, find it, and either capture it or kill it. It all depends on the amount of damage that the creature has done. Not all creatures are violent only some.

As soon as Justin steps inside the house, the smell of carcass has entered his nose. The scent was too much as flies were swarming around the house.

"Someone must have left a window or door opened," Warrick concluded as he look around the house, the smell didn't even phased him. "Or else it wouldn't be too many flies flying around the house."

Justin agreed as he examined the photos. There was a picture perfect family of three in the middle of various photos of the mother and daughter.

Justin picked up the photo of the family and carefully examined it. He knew he seen the father somewhere but he couldn't place where.

"He's one of ours," a voice interrupted Justin thoughts. Justin turned around to see Dante with a sickening look on his face. His whole complexion was pale in the room lights as he examined the photo with Justin.

Dante had been Justin friend since birth, their mothers always assigned play dates for them and since then they were deemed inseparable. They both like the same things and while Dante was more outgoing towards the ladies then Justin. Justin proves to be more book wise then streetwise.

"How do you know?" Justin asked.

"I checked around and found a gun," Dante spoke with certainty in his tone. "And the only people packing in this neighborhood would be rich folks that want to protect their assets or hunters like us."

"He could have been a rich man," Warrick said as he walks around the rest of the living room.

"He's not. He would have had some secret vault that kept his money inside. Besides," Dante rolled his eyes. "I check the master bedroom and the wife don't have a lot of jewelry or any fancy designer clothes. So this family is really upper middle class."

"Impressive if only you apply your knowledge to your studies we would be highly impressed." Warrick joke which earned him a look from Dante, Alexia enter the house as she caught the two in one of their silly fights.

"Girls, girls. You're both pretty." Alexia commented with a chuckle. "There is no need to fight; we need to draw up our conclusion before the neighbors get back from their vacation."

"The family was keeping tabs on their house while they were gone?" Justin asked. Alexia nodded her head and pointed to the pile of mail in the hallway.

"Even I wouldn't keep this massive pile of mail untouched for long,"

"Has anyone determine whose family we are investigating for?" Warrick asked as he walked into the kitchen where the first victim was slain. "I see whomever did this didn't take their sweet time on massacring the body."

"The first victim name is Natasha Mansfield." Dante spoke up. "She is married to Richard Mansfield or known as Richie Rich Mans in the Society. He went away to cover a mermaid killing in Florida, he is expected to return in another day or so."

"And what a way to walk into this," Justin said as he put down the photo of the family.

"Second victim?"

"The second victim name is Anne," Alexia filled in for Dante as he paused. "She is six years old and is enrolled at Waverly place kindergarten. There is no body but a pool of blood on her bed. Her sheets were ripped apart like a mad man had slashed them."

"What makes you guys think it has to involved us?" Justin asked. "It could be some mad men that have a thing out for the mother or father. What are the ties to the Society other then it has to involve with one of ours?"

Dante and Alexia both exchanged a look as they share a moment with each other. it was rare that Dante and Alexia is keeping something from Warrick or Justin so when they made that look at one another, Justin knew something was up.

"What? What is it?" he demanded.

"Justin, there is something that you need to see," alexia spoke for the both of them. With the mention of that she began to turn at her heels and walk into the family dining room with Dante, Justin and Warrick right behind her. Once they reach the room, it was completely spotless except for the blood on the wall that says:

The Boogeyman is real, Justin. So don't fall asleep because you might be next!
