He chased he with a knife. He shoved her on the ground, and put a knife up to her lips, and traced it around them.

"You have such a pretty face... But, not for much longer" he said faking remorse. He started to press the tip into her cheek, driving it down to her lips and mouth. Tears started to form in her eyes. In the background she heard the words "cup", "elixir", "staff", and "mask". She felt a tear slide down her face, and she tasted blood in her mouth.

"I'm sure tomorrow's sunrise will be...extravagant..." He said, carefully selecting the adjective.

"Such a shame you won't be alive to see it..."

Patricia sprang up in her bed, and screamed. Within twenty seconds, Trudy was bursting through the door, frying pan in hand. Shortly after everyone was in her room; Jerome was on Mara's bed with her, trying to get her back to sleep, Amber was with Alfie, having some pointless arguement, Fabian stood behind Nina, his arms around her waist, and Joy was still sprawled out on her bed, sleeping. Eddie came up and sat on my bed.

"Are you okay?" He asked, genuinely. I nodded and put on a fake smile. I mouthed "RUFUS" to Sibuna, and they nodded their understanding. Victor yelled from the doorway.

"Everyone to bed, I'm sure Miss Williamson will be just fine, you may all see her in the morning. Go to your rooms." The group all muttered good nights to each other and hugs and kisses were exchange.

"BED! NOW!" Victor yelled from his office. Everyone cleared out of the room. Patricia looked at her roommates, both of whom had already fallen asleep. Eddie got up to leave.

"Eddie, stay with me..." She said.

"Always." He laid down on her bed and wrapped his arms around her. Patricia did something un-Patricia like and laid her head on his chest, allowing herself to be held and comforted.

"What did he do to you?"Eddie asked, gently. He was part of Sibuna, so he knew about Rufus.

"Killed me. He won, Eddie, shit, Eddie, he won! He became a god and ruled horribly! He killed all my friends and family one by one and made me watch! Hell, I had to watch! It was horrible!" She said, between sobs. Eddie climbed under the covers, and held her closer, assuring her of his presence. She just buried herself in him and allowed herself to softly cry into him.

"He killed you and Piper first, slowly too. He hurt you as much as possible, and I was there and I couldn't stop it..."

"Yacker, Rufus is dead. I promise. I sent him into the underworld, and there's no way his heart was as light as the feather of truth. I bet you Ammit the Devourer devoured him. He was wicked. Even if he wasn't dead, I would never let him take you. I promise. I'm the Osirion, I'm a protector, that's what I do!" He said with a smile.

"Yeah, but you're Nina's protector. Not mine. Nina's. She's the damn Chosen One."

"Well, you're my chosen one." He said with a smile.

"That's Fabian's line" she said, with a suppressed laugh.

"Yeah. But it's true." Eddie told her, kissing her forehead. They sat in a comfortable silence for a while, soaking up the other, neither noticing how much they both had been craving human closeness. It felt good, Patricia thought, just allowing herself to be held.

"Thanks for letting your walls down, Yacker."

"Thanks for breaking them down, Slimeball"

"I suppose you could say I came in like a wrecking ball..." The dirty blonde said with a grin. Patricia groaned.

"Just go to sleep, Kruger"

"Sure thing, Hermione."

"I love you, Patricia" He said. The auburn- haired girl contently groaned, savouring the moment.

"I suppose I love you too, Weasel."

"Hey..."

...
