I wake up in a bedroom that has very little light. I sit up and groan as my head starts pounding. The door opens to reveal Roman who looks worried about me. He walk over to me carrying a bottle of water and aspirin. I smile and take it from him.
"Thanks, my head is pounding. Where am I?" I ask removing the blanket that covered me. My knife, gun, and jacket was sitting on a chair near the bed. I stand up and grab my jacket and start putting it on.
"A room in the mansion. The rest of your group is in the room next door with Seth making an escape plan," Roman says sitting on the bed.
"Who is Seth?" I ask putting my knife in my pocket and checking my gun. It still held some bullets from what I could tell.
"Another hound. Also a friend of mine," Roman says. I raise an eyebrow at the hound comment.
"Hound?" I ask.
"Dean, Seth, and I are what is known as hell hounds. Do you know the story of Cerberus?" He asks.
"Giant, three headed dig that is suppose to guard the underworld," I say.
"I am...surprised. Cerberus was the guard of the underworld. He was originally three humans who had caused mayhem on the living plane. Cerberus was never a three headed dog. Humans usually take things literally when reading," he smirks.
"You turn into a large wolf. The writers weren't that far off," I say as he pats the bed for me to sit. I take a seat a foot away from him on the bed and he frowns at this.
"Dean, Seth, and I are cursed. We wish to be free but can not leave the house," Roman said.
"Dean looks like he enjoys the job."
"He has...come to terms with the arrangement. He hunts and kills intruders. Seth and I try to lead them out." Roman moves closer to me and I move over. Roman moves again and I hit a wall. He moves closer and puts a piece of hair behind my ear. I turn my face to hid my blush as he chuckles. His chuckle makes me frown and I turn to look at him again.
"So are we leaving?" I ask. The door opens to reveal a tall man with two different colored hair. He raises an eyebrow at Roman and Roman growls.
"It's night time on the human plane. Our best bet is to wait out the night," Roman answers me while still looking at the guy.
"I'm sorry to interrupt. The others want to see her," he says. Roman sighs and moves away from me. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding and the guy laughs.
"Fine, Seth. Let them in," Roman said. I raise an eyebrow at this and Roman shakes his head. Seth waves while standing in the door and my cousins come in. Sean glares at Roman while walking over to me. Brett leans against the wall to the right and Skylar sits in the chair. As Seth closes the door a loud whaling noise can be heard and fog enters the room.
"Shit!" Roman says standing up. Seth looks to each of us and sigh.
"It seems Dean has gotten some help," Seth said. The room starts to get hot and I lean my head on the head board feeling dizzy.
"Do not fall asleep," Roman growls through fangs. I start to drift of but am shaken awake. I glare at Sean as he sits next to me. Another wale goes through the room and Brett takes his gun out of his pocket and locks it on the door. Seth and Roman stood on each side of the door waiting for whatever was making the noise to emerge. A large thump hits the door and I jump up and point my gun at the door. My hands shake as I take a step forward. Roman glares at me and the door busts open. A long tentical enters the room an wraps around Brett. Seth and Roman claw at the tentical and Sean and I shoot at it as it pulls Brett through the door way. I try to run after the thing carrying my cousin but Roman grabs me from behind.
"Let me go! It has Brett!" I yell, still struggling in Romans arms. Romans face lowers to my ear.
"Leviathan will take him to his lair. It won't kill him but I can't have you getting lost in this place," Roman whispers into my ear. I stop struggling and he lets me go. Seth sighs and runs his hand through his hair.
"Sky, go grab you scythe and we will go looking. How are you two on bullets?" Seth asked. Skylar ran out quickly and Seth watched her from the door.
"I have six left," Sean answered. I shrug not knowing how to check. Sean walks over to me and hold his hand out. I hand him the gun and extra cartridge. Skylar comes back quickly holding the scythe and Sean hand me back my gun.
"You have twelve bullets left," Sean states and I nod. Roman looks at Sean then to me.
"We are heading out now. You listen to Romans and I's every instruction. This place is even more dangerous then it was before. I will go first. Sean behind me then Sky. Caroline is next then Roman will bring up the rear," Seth states and we all nods as we https out.
