A/N: I would have updated sooner but I didn't have wifi. And it has come to my attention that you may not know some of the creatures I use in this story so I will do my best to tell you what it is in the author's note or on my profile is the link to my Muzy where I post the creatures. So from last chapter.
Mare or Nightmare or Alp: a creature that sits on victims chest while they're sleeping causing them to have nightmare, which they feed on. When an alp sits astride a sleeper's chest and becomes heavier until the crushing weight awakens the terrified and breathless dreamer. The victim awakes unable to move under the alp's weight. Such sleep deprivation and fear that you could die.
Nina POV
"Well?" Jerome spoke impatiently.
"Hold on, let me tell Patricia I'm leaving," Eddie snapped. He shook her awake lightly as she gave a groan.
"What?" she asked with a groan.
"Hey, I'm leaving," he spoke softly. Patricia muttered an ok before pulling him into a soft kiss. Eddie turned to Jerome before harshly saying a "come on". We entered an empty classroom as Eddie slammed the door shut and guarded it.
"What are you?" Jerome asked sitting on a desk.
"Hunters. Supernatural hunters. We hunt supernatural monsters, creatures and beings," KT told him as she glared at him.
"Why are you here?"
"We got sent here since there's a higher percentage of Supernaturals here," I explained.
"What were you guys talking about a war?"
"Supernaturals are uprising, trying to take over and start a war," Eddie said with his arms crossed across his chest.
"Why are you showing an interest in Patricia? Is she close to a Supernatural or something?"
"Patricia has nothing to do with us being here. I just like her. And honestly, I hate myself, cause I'm putting her in danger and everyone else cause I'd save her before anyone," Eddie sneered. This was going to turn ugly fast.
"I knew there was something wrong with you three," Jerome commented as Eddie clenched his jaw.
"Do. Not. Tell. Anyone," KT said as Jerome smirked.
"And why wouldn't I? Why shouldn't I?" he smiled snakily.
"Because if you do, we'll make your life agony. Also, if you tell, we have to go back home and you'll all die soon because there is a war coming and you need the best here," I snapped as his eyebrows raised in surprise at my sassy attitude.
"I have a deal to make."
"You mean you're blackmailing us?" I asked.
"Exactly," he smiled evilly, "You'll do what I say and ask you to do or I'll tell."
"Why would we agree to that?" KT questioned.
"Because otherwise, I'll tell the whole house and that means your darling lovers, Fabian and Patricia, and all of your friends will hate you," he smirked as I sighed. Eddie's face softened into sadness at the thought of Patricia hating him. This was going to be rough.
KT and I were doing Jerome's chores as him and Alfie wrestled on the floor. Eddie was setting the table as everyone else in the house strolled in.
"Isn't it Jerome's day?" Fabian asked me.
"He's kinda busy," I spoke through clenched teeth.
"Are you feeling better?" Patricia asked Eddie as she took the silverware from him. He gave a smile and nod before fixing the objects on the table.
"Why are you doing Jerome's chores?" Fabian whispered to me as I shrugged.
"Just being nice," I brushed off, cleaning the last dish in the sink.
"Are you ok?" I nodded quietly as I took a seat at the table. Everyone else followed my lead, sitting in their seats.
"So when are you and Mick leaving?" Willow questioned Mara.
"In a week," Mara answered. The table went into an awkward silence again; all that was heard was the clatter of silverware.
"Sure is quiet tonight," Trudy commented as she grabbed things off of the table. Eddie glared at Jerome as I shook my head at him. No I mouthed as he rolled his eyes.
"Nina, are you ok?" Amber asked me as I turned to her.
"Yea, just a little on edge," I answered as Jerome smiled victoriously.
"Guess what I found out today about Eddie," Jerome smiled devilishly. I looked at KT with fear as Alfie asked a "what?"
"You'll never guess. Sweetie is Eddie's dad," Jerome told everyone. Everyone but Eddie, KT, Patricia, and I laughed. Jerome and Alfie started chanting "Junior, Junior" as Eddie pushed his chair away from the table and angrily marched out the front door.
"You're a creep Jerome," I scolded as KT and I got up and raced after Eddie.
"Eddie!" I screamed as we ran through the darkness. We got to the woods and saw Eddie sitting on the ground against a tree. KT and I sat on either side of him.
"Jerome's a creep you know that. Why do you care if people know who your dad is?" I spoke softly.
"Because it's embarrassing. Then now everyone will think I get away with stuff at school cause the headmaster's my dad," he sighed.
"You don't care about that," KT sated as he gave her a confused look.
"Yea, you care if Patricia thinks you're lame," I laughed bitterly.
"That's true but it's not like you go parading around saying you live with your Gran since your parents passed away," he spoke softly. I bit my lip as I thought about it.
"No one thinks you're lame Eddie and if they mess with you Nins and I got your back," KT said, acting tough. Eddie and I laughed as my phone buzzed.
From: Fabian 3
We're all sorry we laughed at Eddie. You guys can come back. We'll all forget about it, pretend it didn't happen.
I showed Eddie the text as he nodded.
"Here, I'm going to make you happy by changing names in your contacts." I grabbed his phone and went through all of them, changing one every once and awhile. His phone vibrated in my hand as I handed it to him.
Eddie POV
Nina handed me my phone as I sighed. I was just mad and embarrassed. Nina was right though, if it was just in front of like Amber and Fabian or Joy and Mara then I wouldn't care but Jerome told everyone in front of Patricia. It was embarrassing.
From: Yacker ;)
Please come back! You have me worried!
I smiled at Nina, giving her a laugh at the name.
To: Yacker ;)
Stop worrying :-/ I'm coming home
"Thanks for the name in the phone," I laughed as I got up.
"No one's judging you, Jerome just wants to get under your skin," Patricia told me as she laid beside me on her bed.
"Doesn't make it any less embarrassing," I muttered.
"Why are you embarrassed Slimeball? If it's because of the house or me then you shouldn't be," she said, staring at the ceiling. "It's because of you." She laughed at my bluntness.
"Are you still scared to sleep?" I questioned, turning on my side to face her.
"No," she answered.
"Why not?" I inquired.
"I feel safe," she replied. I rolled my eyes but kept a smile.
"Two weeks," I reminded her as she gave me a confused look. "I'm asking you out."
"What if I say no?"
"You won't. I'm going to do something cheesy and cliché," I grinned as she scrunched her face up.
"That sounds awful," she spoke in her thick British accent.
"Exactly." She turned on her side so that we were face to face. Her breath was hot as her face focused in concentration. The door opened as Joy came in.
"Sorry, am I interrupting something?" Joy said.
"No, Eddie was just about to leave," Patricia muttered, sitting up. Why do I have to leave?
I entered my room to see Mick packing his bags and Fabian practicing his guitar.
"Hey, where've you been?" Mick questioned as I hopped on my bed.
"Upstairs," I answered as my head hit my pillow.
"You mean flirting with Patricia?" Fabian laughed as I rolled my eyes.
"When are you going to ask her out?" Mick inquired as I stared at the blank ceiling.
"In two weeks."
"Why two weeks?"
"Because we've only known each other a week so we need more time," I explained, "When are you going to ask Nina out?"
"What? Why would I do that?" Fabian's voice went high as he spoke.
"Um, I'm Nina's best friend, she told me you admitted to liking her," I scoffed.
"I-I-"
"Ask her out! She'll say yes!" I exclaimed.
"How would you kn-"
"I'm her best friend! So is KT! It's obvious she likes you!" I interrupted him as he stayed quiet.
"Will you help me?"
