"GET OUT," a loud voice boomed around the place and everyone was quick to leave a second later.

Once the place cleared out, Reid's eyes fell on a hooded figure wearing a mask. He frowned at the unfamiliarity before glancing down at the strawberry blonde in his arms.

"I think we have a problem," he muttered to the girl who hummed in response. "It's them."

"Them?" He repeated, "the ones who did that to you?" When she nodded, confirming his suspicion, he clenched his jaw, "I'll have Danny drop you home. Is that okay with you? I'm gonna have to stay and figure this out."

"It's fine," she mumbled and Reid looked up at the guy in question before standing up with her. Danny held Lydia before he led her out of the place along with the others.

Reid was standing beside Derek as the Oni along with the new ones that appeared out of nowhere stood and stared at Aiden who frowned, "guys, they're all looking at me."

They took a step closer. "Why are they all looking at me?" Aiden asked, looking around in panic. Then they took another step towards him. "Guys?" He was full blown panicking.

Reid, Scott and Derek got the same idea as they were quick to attack. They each jumped on one of them, getting ready to fight.

Reid kicked the one in front of him in the stomach only for him to disappear in thin air and appear again. The hybrid frowned at that, "oh, come on!" He landed a punch in the oni's face and then snapped it's neck. However, the oni snapped it's neck back to it's place which had Reid groan, "seriously?"

He received a punch in the gut which had him flying backwards. His back hit the wall which had him let out a small groan, the pain only worsening the one he was already in.

Isaac then decided to join the fight. However, one of the onis turned to look at him and removed a sword from his chest.

"Great," Reid mumbled as Isaac began taking several steps back while the oni showed off his sword skills by twirling it expertly around him.

He then turned to look at Aiden who was being held by two of them. Allison glanced around in panic while walked towards the omega, "somebody do something!" Before either of them could react, the oni touched the side of Aiden's face which made him fall on the ground, unconscious.

Then he turned to look at Kira who was standing behind Scott and started to approach her. But Scott quickly stood up and his eyes glowed red while he stared at the Oni who didn't look scared at all. However, before another fight could occur, all the Onis began fading away the second the sunlight reached the room through the large windows.

They were all just exchanging confused glances until Reid cleared his throat, deciding to break the silence that had settled in between them, "all right, can somebody tell me what the absolute fuck just happened?"

"That's what I want to know too," Ethan mumbled while checking whether his twin was all right.

REID FOUND HIMSELF CLIMBING through Lydia's window as he didn't want to have to confront Natalie by using the front door. The older woman was sitting in the living room downstairs.

The strawberry blonde was lying on her bed with her blanket around her. She was no longer shivering like earlier but she was still cold and worried. However, when she heard a thud, she was quick to sit up straight, her brows shooting up at the sight of Reid. "Hello to you too."

"Sorry," he mumbled, closing the windows again. Lydia huffed out a chuckle, "you've apologised a lot today."

"I know," he sighed before sitting down on the ground, his back against the wall beside her window. He pulled his knees up and placed his elbows on them, biting his lip to hold in a groan when he felt the familiar pain he has been feeling ever since before the party. "You were right, you deserve an explanation for my disappearances. And like I said, I'm going to tell you-"
