A/N: Any kind of mystical creature is a Supernatural not just vampires and demons.
Meanwhile at Anubis House...
Eddie POV
"What do you think they're doing?" Alfie asked Jerome.
"Gossiping about how cute some celebrity is or how great fashion is," Jerome said, shuffling a deck of cards.
"I doubt it," I muttered from the couch by the window.
"What makes you say that?" Mick questioned from the kitchen.
"I know my friends. They're not that girly," I answered as I turned away from the window to face them.
"What's up with you guys? Like are you dating one of them or something?" Mick inquired as he sat on the other couch.
"Me and Nina? Or me and KT? Ick!" I cringed as I made a face of disgust, "They're like my sisters, I've known them since I was four."
"One of those our parents are friends so we have to be situations?" Jerome spoke knowingly.
"No," I answered.
"Well you must be a lady's man," Alfie said impressed.
"We have common interests that no one else understands. They're my best friends, they know everything about me and I know everything about them," I explained as I turned back to the window.
"So you're not dating KT or Nina and you don't like them?" Fabian spoke up.
"Exactly," I uttered as thunder began to boom outside. I glanced out at the woods as something flashed by the trees. What was that? I squinted my eyes, trying to focus on the object passing by.
"Eddie?" Fabian called me out of my thoughts.
"Hm?" I turned to him to see all the boys staring at me.
"I asked you something," Jerome said slowly.
"Oh...um sorry I didn't hear you. I...gotta go," I stood up and walked upstairs to Nina and KT's room. I pulled out Nina's laptop from under her bed and quickly logged into her Hunter user and pulled up the cameras.
"Crap!" I yelled as I saw the creature.
To Nina:
We have a problem.
I sat impatiently waiting for her to reply. My phone vibrated as I gripped it tightly.
From Nina:
What?
I texted back as a knock came at the door.
To Nina:
Minotaur alert! Get back NOW!
"Eddie you ok?" Fabian spoke peeking his head through the door.
"Fine! Why do you ask?" I said as I slammed the computer shut.
"Because you're acting jumpy and um...this isn't our room," Fabian laughed uncomfortably.
"Yea. Why don't you go play cards with Jerome and them," I spoke trying to get him out of the room.
"O...k sure," Fabian spoke, voice laced with confusion. He shut the door as I hurriedly opened the laptop.
Nina POV
I read Eddie's text with wide eyes as I began to cough and choke loudly.
"Nina you ok?" KT asked with concern. I shook my head no as the lady let me get up.
"Here let's go to the bathroom," KT dragged me into cramped room as she looked at me.
"Minotaur alert," I told her as her mouth dropped.
"What?" she whispered harshly as I nodded, "We have to go now!"
"I know that," I whispered.
"How do we get out of here? Amber would never let us go!"
"You think I don't know this!"
"Can't we just tell her hair will get wet and that you have a headache?" I nodded as we exited the room.
"Amber we should get going," I spoke as she looked up at me.
"Why?" she asked with shock.
"It's going to start raining soon and we don't want you to get your hair wet," KT explained.
"Plus the smell of nail polish is making me sick," I added.
"You had me at hair wet," Amber spoke jumping up from her chair, "Girls we're going home!"
"Great now our nails are all wet and we have to walk," Joy muttered.
"Don't complain," Amber snapped as she handed a lady her credit card. My phone buzzed as I pulled it out of my pocket again.
From Eddie:
I have 2 leave like now. Once u get home just come and find me.
Don't be stupid Eddie. I showed KT the text as she cursed under her breath.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid," she muttered as she headed towards the door.
"Ready?" KT asked impatiently as her hand rested on the door knob.
"Yea come on," Amber said, leading them outside.
"KT, do see him anywhere?" I asked as we moved through the woods.
"No!" she replied.
"Eddie!" I shouted, trying to find him.
"Eddie!" KT yelled. A branch popped behind me as I turned around. I turned back to KT as my eyes widened.
"KT, watch out!" I shouted as she ducked. The minotaur stood above KT as it roared loudly. It came charging at me as I tucked and rolled.
"You ok?" KT asked as I got up.
"I'm great," I spoke sarcastically. The minotaur swung its claws at my head as I grabbed one of my knives. Thunder boomed through the air as raindrops began to fall steadily. I threw my knife, hitting the minotaur's eye. Screaming in pain, it grabbed my arm and threw me against a tree trunk.
"Nins!" KT screamed as she shot a rock into the minotaur's nose.
"I'm ok," I told her as I felt a warm substance trickle down my forehead. I got up and took out my sling shot.
"What are you doing?" KT questioned.
"Killing it the easy way," I smiled as I grabbed a poison candy from my pocket. I shot it into the minotaur's mouth as it almost automatically fell dead. KT grabbed a stake and stabbed the creature, turning it into ash. I pulled out my small rusted box and opened it, sending all the ash into the box. I tucked the box away and ran a hand through my tangled soaking hair.
"We have to find Eddie," KT spoke up.
"Do you have a butterfly band aid?" I asked as she handed me one. I put it on my forehead then listened carefully to my surroundings. The rain thudded harder against the ground, soaking me even more. I can't hear anything.
"Eddie!" KT shouted over the pounding rain.
"Eddie!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
"Nina, it's 9:55 we have to get home," KT whispered.
"We can't leave him!" I screamed.
"Do want to risk getting in trouble and locked out?" KT inquired softly.
"Yea, we just have to find him," I muttered as we set off again.
KT POV
Thirty minutes later we still haven't found Eddie.
"I'm exhausted," I uttered under my breath.
"I am too," Nina replied. She shivered as the rain continued to pour in heavy sheets.
"Eddie," I whined as Nina sighed. Her white jeans were soaked and caked in mud, hat and shirt soggy and clinging to her, and her shoes were slushy and muddy.
"KT?" a questioning voice called as Nina and I perked up.
"Eddie?" Nina yelled, "Where are you?"
"Over here!" he shouted. We saw him sitting under a tree soaking wet and covered in mud. Nina and I raced over to him as Nina hugged him tightly. Once letting go, she smacked his arm hard.
"Ow! What was that for?" he cried.
"You don't go out on a hunt without backup especially when it's a minotaur!" she shouted at him, "We were worried sick! And you're gonna get us in trouble!"
"I'm sorry," he laughed.
"Woah, Eddie are you ok?" I asked with concern, noticing the deep cut running along his leg.
"Yea just the minotaur's claws and I think I sprain my wrist," he told us as Nina put a wrap on his wrist and gaze around his leg.
"Come on," Nina said as me and her helped him up and headed back to the house.
