Ethan ducked out of the way of the screech, the knife just missing his face. The figure tumbles to the ground in a purple-and-blonde blur.
Ethan reacts quickly and pushes the small figure against the wall. The knife clacks to the ground, and the figure struggles against the other's strength.
Footsteps pound down the hall, and three, terrified-looking men stand, holding items such as a broken bottle, another knife, and a branch.
"Stay back!" One man says.
"Let her go!" Another says.
"Don't hurt us!" The third says. All three are visibly shaking.
However, their fear stops as they examine the members of the group.
"Is that," The first man says. "The Yogscast? And TeamCrafted? And Tobuscus?"
"Hatfilms?" Liam asks, not quite believing. Heck, they just met up with three groups of YouTubers in a day!
"You know these people, too?" Ethan asked. He looks to the figure he pinned, which he can now get a good look at. It was a young girl, about the same age as Caleb. Her hair was blonde, with faded purple highlights in it. She had pale skin and blue-green eyes, and was wearing sweatpants and a purple sweatshirt. She had stopped struggling and was eyeing the group with wide eyes.
"Yogs?" She asked. The Yogscast members look towards her, but only Liam's and Lewis' eyes widen.
"Elly?" Liam asked.
"You know her, too?" Ethan asked. The girl struggled in his grip again, and this time Ethan let her go. She ran up to the two Yogscast members she met in person.
"Who's she?" Joakim asked.
Elly turned to face them. "I'm Elly. I met these two a long time ago. Your Rythian, right? And Zoey? And Sips?" She sees the other YouTuber additions. "And SkydoesMinecraft! And Fluffy! And Toby!" Her face droops as she realizes that the other members she met are gone. Her eyes trail up to Liam's missing arm, and her eyes widen. "What happened to your arm?"
"We cut it off," Liam said. "I got it cut, and it got infected." Elly nodded.
"She told us that she met up with you," One of the new figures, the one called Alex, said.
"Yeah," Another figure, identified as Ross, said. "And she wouldn't stop going on and on about how cool and awesome it is that she met you."
"Can we skip the chit-chat and please introduce us to them?" Ethan said.
"Right," Liam said. "These guys are another YouTube group, called Hatfilms. That there's Ross, then Alex who is nicknamed Smiffy, and then Chris who is also nicknamed Trott." (I'm going to call this Chris 'Trott' so we don't get him confused with Sips). "And Hatfilms, this is Ethan. The kid's Caleb."
"I'm Elly," Elly said, holding her hand out to Caleb. Caleb hesitantly shook it. Woody barked and then jumped up onto Elly's legs. She chuckled and scratched the puppy behind his ears.
"What's his name?" Elly asked.
"Woody," Caleb answered.
"Cute," She said.
"How about you kids go in another room while the adults talk?" Trott said.
"Okay," Elly said. She lead Caleb into one of the bedrooms down the hall, Woody trailing behind, and closed the door.
"Let's go out in the living room," Alex said, waving everyone into said room.
Everyone took a seat somewhere, either on a living room chair or couch, or taking a chair from the dining table. The only ones standing were the three Hatfilm members and Ethan.
