Beauty and the Beast - Darkiplier x Amy

Xyler's Deceit

"Where is she?!" Xyler hissed as he and Ethan hid behind the shrubbery that stood on the opposite side of the road to Amy and Kathryn's house. "It's almost midnight!"

Ethan shrugged whilst shivering violently against the chilling evening air. "I don't know. Maybe she went to that convention with Kathryn?"

"No, she couldn't go remember?" He growled. "She said she couldn't get time off work." 

Ethan looked up at him with a silent sigh. "Yeah...We were hiding in the warmer spying place next to the side of the house."

Xyler glared at him from the side, making him shrink back into the hood of his hoodie.

A pair of bright headlights caught their attention and both of them immediately recognized Kathryn's car. 

"What's she doing here?!" Xyler whispered-yelled as they watched Kathryn climb out of the driver's side. "She's not supposed to be back until Friday."

"Maybe the convention got canceled?" Ethan suggested. 

"Probably. But what I want to know is where the hell Amy is!" He looked down at the shorter man. "Go ask her."

Ethan blinked at him. "Why me?"

"Because I said so. Now go!" 

Without sparing a second, Ethan hurried across the road and over the driveway, just as Kathryn was unlocking the front door. 

"Err...hi...Kathryn," He said with a forced grin. "Back so soon from Media Con?"

Kathryn turned to look at him so he could see her red puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks, taking him by surprise. 

"Hey what's wrong?" He asked gently.

She shook her head. "You wouldn't believe me..."

"Believe what? C'mon, you can tell me."

"It's Amy," She sighed. 

"What about her? Is she okay?"

"I don't know, but long story short, she's being held prisoner by this...this...demon guy who lives in a giant manor house somewhere near the forest. She gave herself up so he would let me go."

"Demon guy?" Ethan repeated feeling skeptical. "What is he? Some kind of cult leader?! Kathryn, you should go to the police..."

"As if they would believe me!"Kathryn scoffed. "You can tell Xyler that he can forget about seeing her again. She's not coming home..."

With that she stepped inside her house before slamming the door shut behind her, leaving him to stand baffled on the driveway.

"What did she say?" 

He heard Xyler ask from behind him. 

Ethan turned to look at him before repeating everything she had told him.

"Demon?!" He guffawed while shaking his head. "She actually said Amy is being held prisoner by a demon?!" 

"Yeah, and she looked very upset. Maybe Amy is in trouble..."

Xyler shook his head. "I'm not buying it. She's hiding something and I bet they're both in on it!"

He gave his minion a hard look. 

"Ethan, you're going to be standing guard across the road every day until Amy comes back. Once she does, let me know the second you see her car." 

Ethan gawped at him. "Wha-? But-"

He narrowed his eyes. "Is there a problem?"

"...no."
