The Hunting (A House of Anubis Story)

Chapter 26

A/N: Hey guys! Did we lose anyone back there? I'm sorry, an explanation will be at the bottom, but without further ado (is that how you spell it?) The Hunting Chapter 26.

No One's POV

Wind rushed through her hair as she raced through the woods. Pieces of her hair flew in her eyesight as she pushed them away desperately. She stumbled over roots and the uneven ground before falling and rolling down the small hill. She landed on her side with a painful thud, feeling the warm liquid seep out of a cut on her forehead. Using the little bit of strength she had left, she pulled herself up. Crawling to a tree, she pressed her back firmly against the rough bark of the trunk. She drew in a deep breath as footsteps neared her. Keep going, keep going, she pleaded in her head. Her heart stopped beating when the footsteps stopped. She let out a shaky breath as the footsteps began again. She was yanked up suddenly as a scream was ripped from her throat, filling the dense woods.

Eddie POV

My vision began to clear as I squinted against the bright light of the sun. Where am I? I struggled to sit up, my head feeling like it's been bashed in. I looked over to see Fabian, Alfie, Jerome, Joy, and Willow passed out around the clearing that we were currently in. Stumbling to my feet, I kicked Jerome's shoe.

"Get up!" I ordered as they all gave a groggy groan.

"What happened?" Alfie questioned.

"That's what I was going to ask you."

"The alarms went off," Willow muttered out of no where.

"Willow? Do you remember what happened?" Fabian asked as Willow nodded.

"It's coming back in flashes."

"Remind me," I said as she thought about it.

"The alarms went off so all of Sibuna and the mini-hunters came out here. We fought but somehow something got into the house so the alarm went off. The trainees, Nina, KT, Patricia, and Amber went to the house and the Supernaturals knocked us out," she explained as I nodded.

"We need to get to the house," I spoke softly.

"What the he-"

"Eddie, the door's kicked in," Joy told me. I dashed over to the front door, moving away the broken wood. The house was a mess. There were clear signs of a fight, one I couldn't tell who the winner was. Joy stumbled into me as I caught her.

"What could've done this?" Joy asked as I walked over what looked like a broken piece of the couch.

"I don't know." Honestly, there was millions of suspects in my head and billions of thoughts buzzing around. I was trying my best to remain calm, if not for my sake but Sibuna's. My eyes scanned the torn up room as a groan filled the air.
