He dodged the first attack and was ready to fight it back, but the minotaur didn't do the second attack, as the creature ran in the direction to where the three children had gone.
Then Gael realized one thing; the minotaur had its own target and it was Blue.
The creature didn't care about all the things around them, it only cared about how to get its hands on the little girl!
But, why? Minotaurs were not hunters, they would attack randomly and not focus on one target. It was weird.
However, Gael had to keep the question for later, as he had to do something real fast before it found Blue and the others.
Gael skidded on the floor and ducked down between the minotaur's legs, as he managed to get in front of the creature and threw him away with a flick of his wrist.
It was the same method that he used before. As if there was a harsh wind that knocked down the creature, the minotaur was thrown across the room and hit the wall, making the whole house shake.
However, that was not enough to stop a minotaur. It got back right up and growled viciously. Its growl echoed through the entire house and made Gael have to close his ears, as it was too loud.
This time, the eyes of the minotaur were bloody red. The monster was livid to not be able to get its hands on Blue and moreover, there was this little fly, which blocked its way.
The creature's arms were as big as Gael's body and when it charged toward Gael with one of its hands raised, the man was sure he would be knocked unconscious if he didn't dodge it in time.
Gael watched in shock when the floor where he was standing earlier had a big hole. He would have been crushed into dust if he didn't have good reflexes.
Meanwhile, the situation outside of this house was not particularly good. Gael could hear the sound of the police cars approaching.
It was only a matter of time before they came into this house and found this creature. The world would know that they were not a myth. After all, they could get a living example to back it up.
It would shock the whole realm, but it was a fact that the line between the supernatural creature's realm and human's realm collided.
If that was the case, both non- human beings and humans would be in danger.
Gael tried to use his power to subdue the creature before there was anyone approaching them, but it was so hard, especially when the minotaur got a grip of him and pinned him to the floor.
All the air from Gael's lungs was knocked out and he was sure he would get a few broken ribs now because of this attack.
However, it did not matter, because with horror in his eyes, he watched how the minotaur raised its hand, while he was still holding Gael down on the floor with the other. It was about to punch him.
Gael remembered the hole that this creature created when it punched the floor earlier. He wondered, would he die?
"What are you doing sleeping there?" Knox's voice echoed inside this chaotic house.
"KNOX!" Gael opened his eyes immediately, and could feel relief flooding his system in an instant. "Can I get some help here? This minotaur is thrice my size, I am outnumbered!"
Knox furrowed his brows, but he lifted his hand and the punch that the minotaur was about to deliver to Gael's face, stopped only a few inches away from his face.
"Get him off of me!" Gael wriggled his body, trying to escape from its clutches.
"Can you use nicer words?" Knox seemed to be enjoying the situation, since he was stronger than Gael now.
"Are you kidding me? You are trying to kill me?" Gael growled in annoyance, but the spell that Knox used on the minotaur was almost worn out, as it started to make a move, though it was very subtle, despite the effort that it put into it. "No. I will not do it."
Gael was stubborn, but he knew that Knox wouldn't let him die and he relied on that belief.
Good for him that his gut feelings were right, because once the minotaur was able to move, Knox made a crushing gesture with his hand and the monster disappeared into thin air, leaving only debris that fell upon Gael.
"Get up. We need to get the girl out of this house now," he commanded Gael, who was coughing really hard on the floor.
Gael made a disgusting face when he spat out the debris that entered his mouth, it could be said that he ate a minotaur. Yuck! Disgusting!
Meanwhile, Blue, Nikolai and Vanessa were hiding inside the closet.
But, all of a sudden, Blue came out of their hiding place.
"Blue! No!" Nikolai tried to stop her, but Blue immediately turned around and put her finger to her lips, indicating for them to keep silent.
"Whatever happened later, don't come out of this closet." And then she added before the sound of footsteps that approached this room stopped in front of the door. "One hour. Come out from this closet after one hour. Listen to me if you want to live!" she warned them, her hazel eyes looked very bright under this dimly lit room.
Nikolai was so scared, so was Vanessa, so both of them could only nod their heads obediently and watch Blue close the door of the closet, as someone came into the room.
The siblings were shivering when they heard the sound of the door being opened which was then followed by a conversation.
They heard a man speaking, but it didn't sound like Gael's voice.
Nikolai didn't want anything to happen to Blue, but he was too scared to come out of the closet, while Vanessa hugged his arm very tightly.
The siblings were trembling in fear inside the closet.
