Hi! This is my first HOA story called House of Apep, hope you like it! This is like a fourth season, so Mara isn't in it because Tasie Lawrence (who plays Mara) announced that she won't be returning. BTW, I have made some of the god bits up. The names and roles are real though.
''Ah, Edison! You're back for another year. No mischief this year!'' Mr Sweet greeted before awkwardly giving his son a hug.
"By the way, dad, mum wanted you to read an email that she sent you.'' Eddie replied just as Patricia approached him.
"Hey slimeball!'' Patricia joked.
"I thought that you agreed to never call me that again!" Eddie faked being hurt. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head.
"Hey, you ok?'' Patricia asked worriedly
''Yeh, its nothing.'' Eddie lied.
"I know when you're lying. It's probably from the flight. I'll get you a drink when we get home. Come on'' Eddie and Patricia walked over to Anubis house along with the other house mates.
"TRUDY! WHERE ARE MY CAKES?'' Alfie shouted as he approached the dining table with Jerome behind him.
"Be patient Alfie! They're still in the oven.'' Trudy joyfully entered the living room.
''Gonna feel weird without Mara, isn't it? Bet she's having the time of her life at Royal Grammar School!'' Joy said.
"I know! No more geeky cool girl.'' Patricia joked.
Back at the school, Mr Sweet quickly returned to his office and logged on to his computer. He signed in on his email and there it was – an email from Tori Miller. It read:
Dear Eric,
I wanted to write to you about our son, Eddie. You are probably wondering why I couldn't send you a letter. The reason is that Eddie might have read it.
Anyway, back to Eddie. He knows that he is the Osirion. I know that nothing can happen to him because his chosen one is here in America. I thought that was that. You knew that wasn't. I'd forgotten. I remembered the other day when I was reading his file. Apep.
We cannot tell him about Apep. It is too dangerous. He could get hurt. Make sure that you hide the doll with care and precaution because we don't want anybody to find it. Remember, Eddie would tell me if you told him what he is. So you won't.
From Tori
Mr Sweet's eyes widened after reading this. 'Oh, that stupid woman! She has no brain!' He thought. How was he going to protect Eddie now?
Back at Anubis house, everyone was unpacking their clothes and sorting out their rooms. Eddie was putting his clothes in his wardrobe when he suddenly fell into one of his visions.
The clouds began to cover up the sun in the sky as darkness fell into the land. There was a sudden bolt of lightning. It began raining.
"Indeed, I am Apep, the God of darkness and chaos, Osirion.'' A voice boomed out of nowhere.
"Why am I here?'' Eddie was petrified! He had heard of Apep. He was pure evil.
"You will do as I say. My brother, Ra, defeated me in an epic battle of light and dark. My spirit flows everywhere! To make me pass through to the next life, I need this – The Crook of Osiris. Go and find it. Or give me your life!'' The sound boomed.
"But where is the crook of Osiris?'' Eddie questioned.
"I will indicate whether you have done something wrong, with this doll. Your daddy thinks that he has the real one! Ha!''
"Wait, how do you...''
"Be quiet!" A sharp pain attacked Eddie's head once again.
"Ok. What do I have to do?'' Eddie croaked, tears in his eyes.
"You have to ask your chosen one where they hid the cup of Ankh. It unlocks something big near the attic. Follow the clues. Or you will lose your life! You have to involve Kendall, the new girl. She has the key!''
"Eddie, you left your jacket...EDDIE!'' Patricia ran over to Eddie, who had collapsed onto the ground, some blood dripping from his forehead. "Fabian, help!'' They rested Eddie onto the bed. Patricia wiped the blood off his head with a tissue.
5 minutes later
"Apep" Eddie mumbled.
''Eddie you ok?'' Patricia asked.
"Get Sibuna.'' Eddie got up from his bed, Patricia helping him.
"So let me get this straight – Apep, the God of chaos, has put your life in danger so that he can have this crook thing to go to the afterlife. And this new girl who we haven't even met has the key! Oh God, fourth year in a row that my friend is in a life-threatening situation!'' Alfie complained.
"Alfie!" KT snapped.
"Why don't I ask Trudy if we're expecting anyone new.'' Fabian suggested.
"Fine by me.'' Eddie shrugged.
"Trudy, are we expecting...'' Fabian didn't need to finish his question. A girl stood next to Trudy. She was wearing a white top, leather jacket, aqua blue skater skirt and ankle boots. She had very long legs. She had bronze skin and brown eyes. Her hair was dark red with a middle parting and a split fringe.
"Fabian, this is Kendall, Mara's replacement.'' Trudy introduced.
"Kendall, can I see you for a sec?'' Fabian grabbed her arm and took her to his room.
"Hi!" Alfie smiled.
"Guys this is Kendall." Fabian announced.
"Do you have a key?'' Eddie asked.
"Right, he's told you. My dad was mad after this mask thing and died.'' Kendall explained and Fabian gasped.
"Was your dad..." Fabian started.
"Yes he was Rufus Zeno.''
Please review and tell me what you think!
