Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dudes and dudettes...
I bring to you a story I have been working on for the better part of a year. The big and mighty story that has been secretly in the works while I kept ya'll occupied with other works. Thanks to my Beta Ice this was possible to bring out to you this year.
This is also a special gift, if you will, to my dear friend Rei who just adores the supernatural.
Sit back, relax and enjoy this with some hot chocolate.
Warning: A lot of swearing in this story...like...A LOT. Also very slow burn...
Anna POV
This was madness. Complete and utter madness! How did she get herself talked into this? This was insane and due to her idiot friends, she was going to die. Most if not all of them were likely dead as is.
She could feel her body shiver as she used both her hands to keep herself from panting, her eyes clenched shut. The room was pitch black and the only cover she had from whatever it was that was hunting them was this stupid flimsy desk.
Her heart was pounding so hard she could almost hear it. She had to admit that by now her eyes had adjusted to the darkness and she could at least see her hand in front her face somewhat.
Her body tensed as she heard the shuffling get closer to her hiding spot. She wasn't a religious person, but she was so close to praying right now. Be it for a miracle or a swift and painless death, either was fine right now. The latter was preferable due to her hearing one of the guys screaming bloody murder a while ago.
She relaxed as the shuffling moved away, but she waited a few more moments before chancing a glance through the small gap between the desk and floor. Nothing.
She fished out her phone from her pocket, fumbling with it and almost making it fall. The clatter sound it would have made would have screwed her over so bad. Her face lit up at seeing it was at about 60 percent battery life, but cursed as she saw that dreaded no signal sign.
Great, just fucking great, she thought as she placed her phone away again. It was nearly 1am, if she could just survive till the sun came up she should be home free. That way she can make a break for it and actually find her way out of this hell hole.
Why had she let those idiots talk her into coming here? They weren't ready for this yet. Heck they only just started their little business. They probably watched too many Scooby Doo episodes or Buffy episodes. Still she should have held her ground firmer.
To make things worse she lost her damn kit when they first entered this stupid place. How very unprofessional of her. Granted they only started this silly thing over a month ago. Even if she had her kit she didn't know what this creature even was! Let alone thought creatures were real. She should have paid closer attention.
"Agh!"
She startles at the sound of one of the guys screaming again. It was mingled with snarling and maybe a bark? She tilts her head. It sounded like an angry barking snarl like a dog. Maybe it was a werewolf or Lycan, she's not sure, it wasn't even a full moon! Her brain wrecks itself to think of what a werewolf's weakness was. Definitely not holy water.
Silver! Silver bullets were good against a lot of supernatural creatures and even if this thing wasn't supernatural it would still kill it. She gulps. She hasn't exactly used a gun since her father tried teaching her how to hunt. She managed to kill a buck, but threw up after.
"Anna! Where are you?"
Her head shot up as her ears tingle from the harsh whisper that came from the other side of the room. Her head popped up from behind the desk and she saw the silhouette of someone standing in the doorway.
"Eugene?" She whispered harshly. The silhouette startled before rushing over to her. The man was panting slightly as he hid in the small space with her.
"We're in over our heads here," he whispered as he rested his head in his hands before moving his head between his legs.
"What are you doing? Are you going to throw up or something?" she hissed. She didn't need that right now. He sat back up taking a big breath.
"No, you idiot, you do it to calm down!" He whispered. There was the sound of nails on the floor and they clamped the others mouth closed as their backs went stiff. Anna could feel the moisture build up on her palms from the man's warm breath.
Ew.
The sound faded to the other direction as a door or something slammed shut. They slowly removed their hands and looked to one another.
"What do we do?" Anna asked and Eugene ran a hand through his hair.
"Fuck if I know Red, this wasn't supposed to happen, this was just supposed to be us fooling around. I didn't think those rumours were true," he sounded near tears. Anna gave him a hard slap at the back of his head.
"Get your fucking act together," she hissed and he gripped at the back of his head. They both jumped at the sound of another scream this one more female, then again Eugene sounds like a girl when he screams. Anna almost snorted.
There was silence, dead eerie silence and then a thump. The two looked to one another before moving to look over the table. Only to come face to face with the monster. It was huge. Its head well above the table and about the size of a bear. It roared and they felt hot spit slather their faces. They threw their arms around the other and screamed, about to accept death, but it never came.
The creature howled, seemingly in pain, before it turned away from them. Anna's eyes widened at seeing an arrow or something sticking out of its back. It went to lunge forward to attack whatever it was that wounded it, but another arrow struck it. The monster reared up and flopped backwards onto the desk, breaking it.
Anna and Eugene shook as they clung to the other. The blinding light of a flash light shone in their eyes, blocking their view of their saviour.
"You kids are playing with dangerous forces beyond your control," the person said and Anna tried to squint out the harsh light. Something about that tone and voice sounded familiar.
"You should leave these things to the professionals," it said and Anna's eyes widened.
"Elsa? Is that you?" She asked trying to block the light with her hands. The person dropped the light, but just walked away. Anna stumbled around the dead creature and fumbled in the dark to follow the bobbing light. She fished out her phone and turned its flashlight on to see the mystery person.
There was no mistaking those platinum tresses anywhere. They were unique enough to only belong to one person she knew.
"It really is you," Anna breathed and the girl looked away. She looked rather annoyed. In her hands was a crossbow, but it was small and mounted onto a handgun. She was wearing army patterned cargo pants with a very tight light blue shirt that was tucked into the pants. She also wore some kind of utility belt and a backpack.
"Why do you look like some knock off Kim Possible?" Anna asked and Elsa glared at her. Anna gulped as those ice blue eyes bore into her, bad enough they would glare at her in school.
"You and your stupid friends should have stayed out of this," she growled and placed her weapon into the backpack after folding the bow part to make it linier. Anna opened her mouth to retort but was cut off by those eyes once more.
"Because of all your collective stupidity I now have to call this in and get medical fucking attention to two of your stupid nerd squad," she snarled as she fished out a walkie talkie type of device.
Wow even outside of school she was a massive ice bitch. Anna grumbled to herself before realizing what Elsa said.
"Is Eric and Ariel going to be okay?" She asked with a slight high-pitched voice. Elsa just ignored her as she turned away. Anna looked back to the building trying to get her nerves under control.
"Ice Queen to Lost Princess, come in Lost Princess, over" Elsa spoke and Anna frowned as she turned back to Elsa. There was static before the voice of none other than Rapunzel came over the speaker.
"Lost Princess to Ice Queen, how may I assist?"
"Where are you right now?"
"Just finished my rounds, ETA is 15 min, over."
"Bring medical kit, two wounded by Lycan, over.
"Aye-aye Ice Queen, Lost Princess over and out."
Elsa sighed and turned back to the redhead. Anna had her head tilted with a confused look on her face. Elsa huffed and moved her eyes to the building.
"Come help me get your stupid nerds out of that place," Elsa growled and moved to enter once more. Anna jumped and rushed to go with her. Eugene was already carrying Ariel in his arms as Anna and Elsa took care of Eric.
Eric's leg was badly scratched, his pant leg shredded and covered in blood. Ariel's shoulder was bitten and her back was scratched, her shirt also shredded. They were both unconscious as blood still flowed.
"Shouldn't we get them to a hospital or something?" Eugene asked as he tried to rub the blood on his hands off on his pants.
"By the sound of it, Rapunzel will be here with medical supplies," Anna said.
"Wait. Rapunzel is coming? How's my hair?" Eugene asked as he ran a hand through his hair and straightened his cloths. Anna smacked him upside the head once more.
"Seriously? You're worried about your fucking looks while our friends are probably dying?" Anna yelled at him as he clutched his head and whimpered. Elsa just rolled her eyes and turned to the road. Soon enough bright light illuminated them as a Jeep pulled up to them.
"Elsa, what the hell happened?" The brunette asked as she got out the car.
"The nerd squad thought they were Scooby Doo or some shit," Elsa growled and opened the passenger door and pulling out a metal box with the common red cross sign on it. It thunked onto the ground and the sound of metal clasps clicked.
Anna watched as Elsa tossed medical supplies to Rapunzel who caught them without looking to the blonde. The redhead had to turn away as the wounds were cleaned and treated.
"You said that thing was a Lycan, won't they turn now or something?" Anna asked and Elsa glared at her. It wasn't a hateful glare, more a how stupid are you glare.
"Lycanthropy is not the same as werewolf," she hissed through her teeth like it was obvious. Anna was getting tired of her shit.
"Well excuse me Miss Ice Bitch, we don't have a fucking handbook or some shit," Anna grumbled. She saw hatred flash in those ice blue eyes, a black ring seemingly formed around the outer iris before she was pelted in the face with a bag of cotton balls.
"Get yourself under control Elsa," Rapunzel warned and the blonde huffed as she packed everything away again.
"I'm going to call clean up," the brunette said and walked off as she pulled her walkie talkie off her utility belt.
"Are Ariel and Eric going to okay?" Eugene asked as he stuck his hands into his jacket pockets.
"Rapunzel will give them some pain meds and herbal tea to fight off infection, they should be fine when school starts up again after the holidays," Elsa grumbled as she placed the medical kit back into the Jeep.
"Good thing we're house sitting so no parents to bother us," Eugene shrugged and Anna sighed as she rubbed her eyes.
"Eugene get them in the truck, I'll go grab our things that we lost then we can head home, I just wanna pass out and forget this whole nightmare," she said as she walked back into the building. She kept her phones flash light on as she looked around for the kit she dropped. It was just a backpack full of random things, half of them were probably fake. They did get it from a self-proclaimed witch doctor after all.
After she found the bag she made a quick tour around the place in search of anything else they might have dropped. When she saw the spots where the other two were attacked, blood stained the floor after all, she nearly threw up. Yea she was a hunter alright.
She managed to pick up the others bags, one of which was covered in blood. After feeling like nothing was missing she headed back out. Elsa was gone and Rapunzel was just finishing up giving Eugene a bag of stuff. Most likely the pain meds and herbal tea.
"Where's ice bitch?" Anna asked and saw the brunette frown at her.
"Elsa isn't a bad person Anna, she just has some anger issues," she said trying to defend her co-worker. Anna just raised an eyebrow at her before raising a fist and lifting a finger as she started to list things.
"Calls us nerds, has on occasion dropped food and drinks on us, has knocked my and Ariel's books out our hands, has stolen my clothes during gym class and cut off a streak of hair which left me to grow out this!" Anna finished by showing her the white streak in her hair.
Rapunzel's eyes widened as she took all this in. When Anna was done she looked down and shuffled her feet.
"I'm sorry...I didn't know..." she whispered, hunching up her shoulders. True, Rapunzel was still the new kid even after entering their school almost two years ago. It was just weird considering everyone in the school grew up with everyone else at some point.
"Hey, I think we all just had a really long and terrible night. Let's just all get home and get some much-needed rest," Eugene said as he rested his hands on their shoulders, looking between them.
They agreed and went their separate ways. The drive home for Anna and Eugene was silent and tense. The adrenaline eventually left the redheads body and she fell asleep halfway home.
There you have it folks!
Now...this will be updated hopefully bi-weekly if me and my Beta agree it's publishable. There will be a lot of research still needed to be done to flesh out the other creatures that ya'll get to see. If there is a creature you think we might over look please share! No matter how weird or bazaar!
Again, thank you Ice for helping me with this, you are amazing!
See ya'll next time!
