The Abomination House - The Intruder (owl house)

## Chapter 1

**Boiling Isles**

“And here we have the most powerful demon on the whole Isles,” Hunter said, in a terrible British accent, filming Eberwolf tearing apart a toy, “Facing his Mortal Enemy, the dino toy.”

Hunter chuckled. “And people say I’m not fun.” Hunter laughed as Eber continued to attack the toy.

That’s when they heard the rumble of thunder.

“Ooh, looks like It’s gonna rain.” Hunter said, standing up. Eber looked worried. He tugged on Hunter’s leg, urging him not to go outside.

“Relax, I’m taking an umbrella.” Hunter said, picking up an umbrella on his way out. He opened the door.

“Hooty,” He said, greeting the house demon.

"Worm hair." Hooty said, narrowing his eyes.

Eber stood at the doorway, making worried sounds.

“Shh. This is gonna be funny.” Hooty said,

“The rain’s always nice. It really takes away my worries.” Hunter said, ignoring them both. he walked outside, taking in the low clouds.

He watched as the first raindrop fell, a high flying arc curving down towards the Isles. As it landed on his forehead, he felt a strange, burning sensation.

“That’s new.” Hunter said, horrified. More drops fell as Darius ran out of the forest.

“Get in!” He shouted, grabbing Hunter’s wrist. Darius and Hunter both got inside before the rain could get them.

He held up his cape. “This is the third one I’ve ruined this week.” He sighed,

“Aren’t you going to ask if I’m alright?” Hunter asked,

“You’ll be fine.” Darius said, not worried.

**Darius's House**

Hunter and Eberwolf were sitting outside the Owl House under the eave with Hooty while Darius, wearing his Abomination Armor, is casting a force field.

Eberwolf puts a bandage on Hunter’s arm. He looked very proud.

“You did great.” Hunter said, patting his head. “What's up with the burning rain? Weather isn’t deadly back in the human realm.” He shouted to Darius.

“Well, you can always go back.” Darius said,

“And admit defeat? Never. You’re stuck with me until summer camp ends.”

“Hurry up!” Hooty said, “the rain’s getting closer to my precious stucco!”

Darius sighed. He went back to casting the spell. Hunter watched with scientific awe as Darius made a large spell circle. It glowed and and a magically shield encircled the house. A purple tinted force field covered the house.

“Cool.” Hunter said. Darius walked under the force field. He moved slower.

“Ugh, that spell took a lot out of me.” he said, holding his back

Eberwolf hissed in a language Hunter didn't know. He was sure Darius didn't teach it to him just to make him mad. In response to the comment, Darius let a single drop of the boiling rain slip through the shield and fall on Eber's head.

They all walked in the house. Darius flopped on the couch. He got a solid seven seconds of rest until he felt a shape above him.

“Darius.” Hunter said, “Your ponytail looks extra... eyeball-y today.”

“What is it?” Darius asked,

“And your outfits are like, what do kids say, lit!.”

“I am not teaching you magic today.”

“Oh c’mon!”

“I’m tired.” Darius said, “I’m a tired albeit fabulous looking outlaw.”

“Alright, I didn’t want to do this, but… If you teach me magic, I will stop bugging you about it for one week.”

Darius stood up immediately. “What do you want to learn?” He said, quickly.

**Darius’s House**

“Alright kid.” Darius said, “Magic. What is it? How do you cast it? What-”

Hunter raised his hand. “A sac of Bile attached to every witch's heart. Different spell phlegms mix thanks to different pockets in the sac. Witches evolved them to deal with more powerful demons, but nowadays, the demons are more intelligent. The fact that humans cannot do magic naturally is an annoying hurtle, but I bet I can beat it. I just need to film you casting a spell.”

Darius looked shocked at how much this human knew.

“I like reading.” Hunter said,

“Whatever.” Darius said. Hunter held up his phone and Darius got ready. Eberwolf looked up from the dino toy he was chewing.

“I will cast an incredibly simple light spell. A child could cast this one.”

“We are rolling.” Hunter said, holding up his phone.“C’mon, one more spell isn’t gonna kill you.”

Darius sighed, “Fine.” He drew a purple circle that grew into a glowing orb that hovered in the air for a second, before disappearing. Then Darius fell backwards.

Eberwolf squeaked something that even Hunter could get. “One more spell killed Darius.” he whispered.

## Chapter 2

**Darius’s House**

“W-we gotta get help!” Hunter threw open the door and almost left, before Eber pulled on his leg, squeaking.

“Oh, right.” Hunter said, “Boiling Rain.”

“It would’ve been funnier if you’d let him walk out.” Hooty said,

“So what’ll we do?” Hunter said, closing the door.

Hunter was pulling Darius into his room by his feet after determining that he wasn’t dead. “Why are you so heavy?” He asked. He pulled him into his bed. “Really hope you don’t kill me when you wake up.”

Eberwolf walks in.

“Thanks for the help.” Hunter said, sarcastically.

Eber made a sound halfway between a bark and squeak.

“This is gonna be a fun night.” he said, standing up.

In the Living room, Hunter kept watching the video and twirling his fingers, despite knowing it won't do any good.

“How!?” Hunter said. Still holding the phone, he walked over to the kitchen to get a snack.

As he stuck a piece of what he hoped was bread in his mouth, he noticed a purple potion sitting on the counter. He looks at it for a solid minute. He stops when Eberwolf walks in.

Eber looks at him and the potion and walks out.

“It’s a good idea!” Hunter shouts back.
