The music was blaring, the food was great, the friendship and comradrie was all any member of Anubis house could hope for. for the members of Sibuna the party was extra special as the danger of Robert Frobisher-Smithe's evil persona and the god(ess) Ammut had been banished. Eddie was particularly enjoying the party as he and Patricia had finally gotten back together. He was on cloud nine until it happened.
He was suddenly on a street staring down at the Hollywood Wal of Fame. He looked up and saw someone he never expected to see again. Nina was walking down a side street. Eddie followed her. Nina seemed sad. Eddie yearned to ask her what was wrong. Then suddenly as they were walking past a dark alley Nina was grabbed and forcefully pulled into the alley. Eddie had tears rolling down his face as he was forced to watch Nina's innocence be taken from her. As Nina staggered back out of the alley Eddie's sight faded to black.
\As he blinked his eyes he found himself back at the party. he stood abruptly from his seat startling Patricia and the others around him.
"I need to talk to my dad" he said.
"we are in the middle of a party. cant it wait till tomorrow?" patricia asked pleadingly.
"No im afraid this cannot wait." he ran off to his dad's office and explained that he had to go to L.A. now. Eddie told his dad the truth. He was going to get the chosen one back.
"Dad I think Nina is in trouble. I have to help her, dad, it is my job."
"OK, son." Mr. Sweets quickly bought his son a ticket to L.A. and drove him to the airport. "Edison, You are welcome to inform her that she still qualifies for her scholarship and she is welcome to return to Anubis house."
Eddie got on the plane and promply fell asleep of the long flight. he changed planes once in new york then off to L.A. Eddie had looked up Nina's address in advance and quickly hailed a taxi to her home on the outskirts of town. He nervously walked up to the front door afraid of what he might find. he rang the doorbell once. Footsteps could be heard making their way to the door. Eddie watched as a Dirty blonde girl opened the door. for a second all she did was stare at him then...
"What the hell are you doing here? You should be in En-"
"How long ago did it happen, Nina?" that stopped her.
"How long ago did what happen?" Nina spoke warily. Eddie thought she looked very much like a scared and cornered animal.
"Nina, I had a vision i saw what happened to you, in the alleyway. When did it happen?" Nina began to cry.
"perhaps we should talk inside." Nina turned to hold the door open and Eddie nearly began to cry himself when he saw that Nina had a small baby bump. They entered the living room and each sat down facing the other. "It has been about a month. I'm due at the beginning of June."
"Im glad you chose to keep it given the circumstances." eddie replied gently. "How is your grandma?"
"She just made a full recovery about a week after the accident. She is miserable she let me walk home that night. I usually took a cab. Eddie, why are you here?"
"Im the Osirian. It is my job to protect you. I can't do that when you are halfway around the world."
"It is not safe for us to be together."
"yeah I thought about that. I think we interpreted it wrong. I think it means that we cannot be together in a relationship. I dont think it meant we cant be in close proximity. How is the Osirian supposed to protect the Chosen one when they are nowhere near each other."
"That makes sense. I have always seen you more as a goofy big brother."
"That works for me. My dad said that your scholarship is still available if you would like to come back to Anubis house. You have got to meet the new American KT Rush. She is a lot like you."
"I think I should talk to Gran before I make any hasty decisions." nina said. then there was movement at the door. Eddie and nina both turned to see nina's gran smiling at them.
"No need to talk to me. I am well aware that you have been wanting to return ever since you made the decision to stay. Go pack up. You are moving back to England and this time so am I."
Tell me what you think. I need help with the mystery and what it will be. For those of you who read Silent Protector. i am taking a break and writing other thing however i will definitly be returning to it. so, coments reviews questions?
