OCTOBER 20TH→ 1983 1:40PM
ERIDAN
It's been a couple hours since we disbanded into the forest. Little signs of demons activity but there's some I can go off of. Just then then sound of someone running through the bushes came from behind me. I whipped around and aimed my gun at...nothing. I sighed and lowered my gun.
"Tch." I scoffed then turned around and began to walk. I made it to a small abandon gas plant which is where I'd report in with everyone. I ran up to the small cement hut and went inside. Upon entering I sat down on a collapsed piece of wall. I grabbed my walkie talkie.
"Kanaya, Feferi, Meenah, come in. Over." I said through the static.
"Present. Over." Kanaya called.
"Guys..?" It was Karkat. He had shock and disbelief in his voice.
"Yeah?" I asked back with anticipation.
"Feferi's...gone." My heart sank but before I could say anything I was grabbed from behind. I let out a groan as I was slammed against a wall, my walkie talkie tumbled to the ground.
"Olfacies delectamenti. (You thmell deliciouth)." I looked up at my capturer. He was a very tall and lanky demon, his hair was sharp and stuck out in brown tuffs, his ears where pointed and sharp, and do I even need to mention his fangs? I held in a whimper and pushed him off of me. Then I held my gun up to his head. As I stepped out the moon side shone on my face.
"O, quod vestri Ampora, huh? (Oh, you're an Ampora, huh?)." He spoke out in a alluring Latin accent. I hardly understood what he had said as my brother only knew a bit of Latin and past that down to me but I heard my family name and then made my eyes go wide.
"H-how did you..." It hit me. Rage filled my chest as I pushed my gun farther into his head. "You're a Captor." I seethed. He chuckled, then in a cloud of black mist he disappeared, his chuckled still echoing through the nights airs. I growled, everything in my body was telling me to find that bastard and rip him apart but my mind and hard. I needed to group with the others we need to fine Feferi and, I can only assume that their missing since they didn't answer when I called in, Terezi and Meenah.
"Ah, fuck." I said under my breath, I grabbed my walkie talkie from the ground.
"Eridan here. Does anybody copy? Over." I asked quietly threw the walkie talkie as I walked back threw the woods.
"Present. What happened to you?" Kanaya asked. I sighed.
"A Captor." She gasped.
"That means..." she trailed off.
"Yep." I began. "Striders team is here."
______
"They should be here soon." My older brother, Cronus, issued to me as he leaned up against his truck puffing a cigarette. I nodded and turned away facing the dark woods. This was our first encounter of Striders team but we were not in the dark about who they were. Our parents had passed down books and journals they had written in about each one of Striders goons. Their weaknesses, their strengths, etc.
At the moment me and Cronus's team where waiting from Kanya and Karkat, they were retrieving the others. Cronus slumped down on the truck and Tavros nervously glanced around the forest, and Jake sat down on a fallen tree trunk. Jake's the only one out of all of us that have come in contact with Striders group. He described Dirk Strider, their leader, as evil and devilish. He said his condescending words could bring any one against their god. As the though of Striders team crept into my mind so did the Captor I had the unpleasantness of bumping into. I began to mentally review my fathers notes that I had memorized. He handed down years and years of hunting notes to me and Cronus after his death. It was in our inheritance.
My mind began to swim in the notes, new questions that my father had to little time to answer raced around in my head. They stomped around in my head until I was kicked out of them by Cronus nudging my shoulder. I looked up, a indigo light arose from the ground, then on each side was a yellow one. The sound of whirring echoed in the forest. Then three figures summoned from the grounds I growled.
"Well, well, well, what the motherfuck do we have ourselves here?"
