Underground Witch (GB+SB ff.)

stupid rock, stupid door

"calm down, gabe. take deep breaths" sean immediately flurry his way towards gabriel while also trying to calm the poor boy down.

his voice was smooth and soft, gabriel couldn't help but to follow so willingly to the tone of his voice.

"inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale"

the turmoil of his emotions finally settle down. like a raging fire, it was doused with water until there is only tails of smokes in the air.

"better?" sean asked. his eyes moving through every nook and cranny of gabriel's body, checking if they are any physical injuries. after all, that trip made a loud crash that it feels like someone had broke their bones.

"thanks, doc" gabriel was alright. aside from the constant aches and stings from the fall - oh, and let's not forget the growing bump on his forehead - he was as good as new.

"that was quite a fall there, brother" silas, the huge giant with a greek thick accent adding flavor to his voice, spoke in concern.

gabriel let out a groan and throw a heavy loaded glare towards luke who was suppressing his laughter from the way he keep biting his lowerlip and the slight shaking of his shoulders.

fucking luke.

"well, some fucker grab me!" he yelled, furious.

unbeknownst to everyone, long, healthy, and thick lines of grass were slowly and quietly unwrapping themselves from his shoes. gabriel was too busy brewing his revenge, even more so to his bundle of brothers who were paying him more attention than his shoes.

"how you could someone possibly grab you? you were running!"

"well, i don't fucking know! some shit just grab me!"

kota sighed, "perhaps, you were wrong, gabe. maybe, you trip on a rock? you were running, how could you possibly tell if someone grab you?"

"well... that's..." he could only bite his lowerlip.

maybe, kota was right. maybe, he did trip over some stupid rock, but why does he feel like it isn't right?

"what's going on here?"

axel and mr. blackbourne had just finish a phone call from one of the academy's council, and re-group with the rest of their brothers - only to find out that one of them already trip himself over.

mr. blackbourne could already feel the throbbing pain at the back of his head. he only take his eyes off of them for a couple of minutes, and they already caused enough misfits.

axel wasn't even better off, his brothers were already considered adults, but why does he feel like he was raising children who still need diapers and breastfeeding?

"oi, stop looking at me like a fucking kid!" gabriel felt irritated with the way axel was looking at him.

"i was about to ask if you are alright but considering how you could cuss like a storm, then i think you're alright" axel replied before he turns his attention towards the rest, who was trying to look like they were busy gazing at the view than listening to their conversation.

he decided not to exposed them and instead suggested, "how about we go see our things, shall we?"

their things and furnitures had arrived a day earlier than them. the delivery crew had alerted them beforehand that all of their belongings were already inside the castle, for fear that they're might be thieves that lives in the nearby forest.

the sooner they sorted everything, the better.

all of them murmured their approval and headed towards the entrance of the castle while taking their time. after all, they had enough time to enjoy the refreshing breeze that gently kissed their exposed skin.

from the corner of his eyes, he spotted luke who was charging towards the palace with his usual pace.

gabriel couldn't help but grumbled under his breath, "fucking luke, running like a fucking kid"

he soon then catch up with his teammates. all of fourteen of them stood infront of the huge doors of the large fortress.

corey couldn't help but gulp when he spotted many grotesque statues from every corner of the building - who were much bigger and came off intimidating than the rest of his brothers - and mind you, silas, north, and raven were already scary enough to scare men away in their age.

"well, how do you we get in?"

just as those words came out from nathan's mouth. the tight-sealed large double doors suddenly open - as if someone was opening the doors from the inside - welcoming them to their new home.

he could feel the hair at the back of his neck stood as chills sent shivers to his spine. he could hear the creepy creaking sound - a sound too familiar that he heard them everytime he was watching a horror movie - as the doors entirely open.

"what the fuck!"

"north, did you just see that!? it was so cool!"

"stop fucking jumping or else you will injured yourself!"

"perharps...it was just the wind?"

"let's go..." marc was the first person to bravely step inside the castle. his comrades-in-arms followed his lead. his mismatched eyes of blue and green sparkled with curiosity and awe as he scan the interior of their home.

it was dark, but it didn't stop him from spotting a few cobwebs from here to there. the only light came from outside that slowly travels its way through the open doors and went inside.

as soon as the last person finally past through the entrance. the double doors instantly slam to a close, as if it was planned, trapping them from inside.

"shit!"
