The Hunting (A House of Anubis Story)

Chapter 25

Jerome POV

"Now Victor and I will be out all day. Are you sure you're ok with that?" Trudy asked us for the thousandth time.

"Yes, we'll be fine," Nina spoke up.

"Ok, ok," Trudy beckoned, heading towards the door, "If you need anything just call!" She left the house as we all let out a sigh. A knock came at the back laundry room door as KT got up to go get it.

"Hi!" we could hear KT greet before leading three young kids into the house.

"Guys this is Dexter, Cassie, and Erin. Newbies this is Jerome, Alfie, Amber, Joy, Willow, Fabian, and Patricia. Then I'm KT and this is Nina and Eddie, we're the hunters," KT said to them as Erin's eyebrows knitted in confusion.

"They're civilians. Oh my god, you guys told them!" Erin exclaimed.

"Hey, shush! If you tell we will hurt you and make sure you never get a job in the hunting business," Eddie warned as Erin slumped back in fear.

"Ok, everyone take a seat at the table," Nina instructed. We all sat down at the table as Eddie handed us each a packet.

"This is the personality and/or weapons test," Eddie told us as we nodded.

"Once you finish give your test to Eddie and then come outside to where I will be. Remember to answer honestly, the only ones who will see it is Eddie and trust me he won't judge you," KT spoke softly as we all nodded in understanding, beginning the short test.

No One's POV

Erin silently tapped her fingers on the table as she read the first question. Honestly, a lot of these were hard considering you had to think about your over all person and personality. She moved on to the next question finishing the test easily.

Eddie POV

I sat on the couch with my feet propped up on the table, looking at the tests that I had so far. By this point everyone but Cassie, Amber, and Yacker were done. Amber and Cassie came skipping up behind me handing me the test before skipping to the front door where Nina and KT were. I glanced behind me to see Patricia with an uneasy look on her face, tapping her pencil against the table roughly. I let out a sigh getting up to sit by her.

"What's wrong?" I questioned as I sank into the seat beside her.

"I just...I don't know. It's difficult," she sighed.

"Take all the time you need, don't over think it," I instructed. I grabbed out a piece of paper to write notes on before grabbing all of the tests and spreading them out so I could look at them all. I wrote little notes on my paper as I tried to find where everyone's personality stood the most. I wrote everyone's results on a piece of paper before looking at Patricia. She slid the packet over to me as I smiled and flipped it over. I skimmed her's quickly before writing down her results on the paper too and getting up. "Come on." We walked outside to see everyone sitting on the lawn stretching. "Patricia, go stretch." She gave me a glare at the order as I gave her a smile. She sank to the lawn as I marched to the middle of their scatter layout. "Ok, to make things easier we're just going to group you for a second so we can decide your weapons. So the Type 1 personalities: Cassie and Erin, Type 2: Willow, Type 4: Amber and Joy, Type 5: Fabian, Type 7: Jerome and Alfie, and Type 9: Dexter."

"What about me?" Patricia questioned.

"Type 8 personality, I'm probably going to have to deal with you most of the time," I told her.

"Why?"

"Because we both have a Type 8 personality and I know how to work around it."

"Now, Nina will teach you weapons, Eddie will teach you hand to hand combat, then when you are with me you'll do cardio, learn the tech that goes with hunting, carve stakes correctly, and learn to climb," KT told them as they all nodded.
