The Hunting (A House of Anubis Story)

Chapter 7

Nina POV

"What time is it?" I asked KT as we dragged Eddie.

"3:00," she answered.

"You're heavy," I complained to Eddie.

"Thank you, you are so helpful and caring with your kind words," he spoke sarcastically as we got to the front door.

"Ready to be in so much trouble?" KT questioned as we nodded. She opened the door, softly kicking it open.

"Nina!" Amber shouted, racing over to us. She threw her arms around me as my hands slipped from Eddie sending him to the ground.

"Ow," he moaned.

"Sorry," I apologized, releasing Amber. I glanced around the door to see all the Anubis residents standing around the foyer.

"Where have you three been?" Victor boomed.

"Eddie went for a walk and then it started raining and he fell and cut his leg and twisted his wrist so he couldn't get up then me and KT went to find him and it took longer cause it was raining then we found him and brought him home," I spoke in one breath. Victor gave us a look of disgust as he marched upstairs.

"Nina, are you ok?" Fabian inquired as he gentle ran his finger along the cut on my forehead.

"Yea, I'm fine," I smiled nervously.

"Oh sweeties!" Trudy exclaimed, coming out of the kitchen.

"Trudy, Eddie needs to get bandaged up or go to a hospital or something because that's a really deep cut on his leg," Patricia spoke frantically as KT unwrapped the gaze.

"Ok, ok calm down Patricia," Trudy spoke soothingly as she helped Eddie up. I placed a hand on her forearm as she sighed.

"Ok only two of you can come to the hospital with me," Trudy said.

"I'm going," Patricia announced immediately.

"I'll go too," Fabian said.

"No, Trudy, me and KT need to go," I said frantically.

"Only two lovelies," she spoke calmly.

"Please Trudy, he's like our brother we've known him since we were 4! We're on each other's emergency contacts!" KT shouted.

"I'm not going without Nina, KT and Yacker," Eddie spoke urgently. I noticed Patricia smile when he said Yacker.

"Ok, ok come on," Trudy sighed as we followed her out the door.

"You like him," I spoke softly. Patricia looked up at me.

"What? Who?" she asked, voice lace with confusion.

"The idiot who's getting stitches," I laughed.

"I don't even know him. You guys have only been here for two days," she whispered.

"But he's different than any other boy you've met."

"He makes me feel different. It's like I get this special anger just for him when he's around," she explained. I smiled as KT came and sat back down.

"Where have you been?" I asked.

"Trying to get Eddie to let me leave," she stated. Patricia laughed as Trudy came up to us.

"They're gonna let him go tomorrow morning," she told us as we nodded. I yawned as KT followed.

"You girls must be exhausted. I'll take you home," Trudy smiled.
