Eddie Sweet quietly sat on the vintage couch in his fathers house. Today was the last day of Christmas holiday, tomorrow it was back to school for Eddie And his twin sister Nina. Only a few weeks ago, after an evil spirit tried to kill his dad Eric Sweet, Nina had found out that Eddie was her twin and she was given up as a baby. So ever since then Eric was trying to spend as much time as possible with Nina.
Today Eric was teaching Nina some Latin phrases. He'd always wanted to teach Eddie, but that board Eddie.
Eddie noticed how much Nina and Eric had in common.
She was smart, studious, caring and was usually well behaved. Just like Eric.
Eddie didn't have the best grades, he didn't like school, he wasn't caring to most people and he was a bit of a bad boy.
Eric hadn't spent anytime with Eddie in weeks, only Nina.
Which was a bit fair, since Eric had never been there for Nina and was for Eddie, well up until he was 8.
Eddie kept glaring over At Nina and his dad.
"Almost done?" Eddie asked, with a bit of tone in his voice.
"Edison." Eric snapped. "I told you 5 minutes ago, we are not done."
Eddie rolled his eyes and took out his phone.
He'd had a missed call from Elsie.
Elsie Avalon and her Sister Pepper were friends of Eric's when he was in school. They were both dead, but with a little Osirian magic, they returned human and now the sisters live In a small house a few streets down. Elsie, who is physically 16, will start school after holiday. Eric gave her a free scholarship. Pepper is physically 18 (They were dead for sometime, so they look younger then than they appear) so she will start collage soon.
Eddie decided not to call Elsie back, because she could talk for hours, instead he left the living room and went up stairs to the room he stayed in at Eric's.
Eddie's room was the first room, on the left. Eric's room was first on the right, then next to Eddie's was the bathroom and then Nina's room was at the end of the hall. There was another hallway with 3 guest rooms and an attic.
As Eddie walked into his room, he noticed a ghostly Flapper girl in the corner of his room. She was wearing a blue and green flapper dress, her hair in curls, a peacock feather on her head, heavy makeup and jewelry.
Rose Sweet.
Rose was Eric's mother. She had a feisty attitude and was always sarcastic, she helped Eddie by playing pranks on Eric when he was rude to Eddie.
She had a bone to pick with her son because…(as she states)
"He's rude." "He's greedy." "He's selfish." "He's a jerk, how could he have left Marina And you in America?" "Really he picks a weird club over his kid, idiot." "He's annoying, seriously stop with the quoting Latin." "He dare remove my picture from the wall." "Poor Marina, Married an idiot."
Her and Eddie once went on a two hour rant on him.
In conclusion Rose was the female Eddie.
"Eddie, how's Nina and Old Sweetie?" Rose asked.
"Same, spending all there time together." Eddie muttered.
"Ha!" Rose laughed. "Its been a month, wait a few more and then see what Nina thinks."
Eddie smiled.
"So, Rose, I've been meaning to ask you, where is that picture dad took down from the wall?" Eddie asked. "I'll put it up."
"For me?" Rose beamed.
Eddie nodded.
Rose smiled. "Attic, back shelf, first box on the left."
Meanwhile, Nina was in the living room watching TV. Eric was in the kitchen making lunch.
All of a sudden the door bell rang.
"Nina, could you get that please?" Eric called from the kitchen.
"Sure dad." Nina yelled back, getting up for the door.
Nina opened the door.
There stood a woman with pale, dim blonde hair, blue/green eyes and wearing a designer outfit. She had her hands on her hips and looked at Nina.
"Hello dear." She said with an American accent. "Does an Eric Sweet live here?"
Nina nodded. "I'll go get him." The girl ran into the kitch.
"There's an American Woman standing in the door way asking for you." Nina said.
Eric raised an eyebrow and headed into the entrance room to see who this Lady was. Nina followed.
"Hello, I'm Eri-" Mr. Sweet stopped talking and looked down at the lady standing at his door.
He froze and looked into her eyes.
Eddie blinked and then said. "Marina?"
