The Hunting (A House of Anubis Story)

Chapter 27

A/N: Hey guys! I'm back! This time it wasn't as long as a wait. I had a lot of inspiration for this chapter. Plus, my mom gave me an early birthday present, which was a keyboard for my iPad. So typing up my story is a lot easier. Anyway, enjoy this chapter!

No One's POV

She let out a muffled moan as she came to. She opened her eyes to be blinding by the single light bulb hanging from the ceiling. She went to move, but soon realized that she was strapped to a metal table, her mouth covered by duct tape. She struggles against her binds as she tried her best to get out of the situation she was in. The single door to the room opened, letting a blinding amount of light cascade into the cement room. She squinted her eyes as the person approached her.

"Why hello there," the person said in a sinister tone that she recognized, "I don't think I ever got to formally introduce myself to you. I'm Vallen." His smile had a cruel undertone to it, one that you just knew had tasted sin. She mumbled behind the tape over her mouth as Vallen gave a mocking pout.

"Oh, where are my manners? I'm standing here talking while you are unable to," he spoke, a wicked tone in his voice. He reached out for her as she tried to move away. She leaned as far as she could before Vallen ripped the tape from her mouth. She sucked in a breath of pain before letting it out. Vallen smiled devilishly as he leaned closer to her.

"You're strong. Normal girls would've at least let out a whimper of pain, but you didn't. I can see why Eddie likes you." Patricia glared at him before turning her head away. Vallen, obviously irritated, roughly grabbed her chin and made her face him.

"Don't give me sass girl, I invented sass," he growled at her.

"Don't touch me," Patricia spat back as she moved her face from his grasp.

"You're feisty, I like that," he grinned," Eddie has always had good taste in woman. I mean come on have you seen KT and Nina, if they weren't such bitches they'd be perfect. But you...you're already perfect. You know, I've always had a thing for the women Eddie chooses." Vallen gave her that dark look again before sprouting fangs. I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid Patricia chanted in her head. Vallen drew towards her neck as she closed her eyes and bit back a scream. It wasn't until she felt Vallen's teeth break through her skin that a scream was ripped from her throat.

"Where are we going?" Cassie questioned as the group of four ventured down the quiet halls of the school.

"We need to go to the Industries. We need to figure out the last place Vallen was seen or where his hideout is," Eddie answered. The young trio nodded as they continued quietly down the hall. Cassie messed with her nails, her mind devoided of any thoughts. Dexter outlined the swollen skin around his eye, hissing every now and then at the pain. Erin's mind worked like a fast acting computer as she tried to figure out where everything went wrong.

"Eddie?" Erin questioned quietly.

"What?" he deadpanned.

"We really appreciate that you're letting us helpyou," Erin spoke softly.
