Eddie's POV

It was a Saturday night and I was really tired. I had been with Mara the whole day trying to find out more about Senkhara. It looks like she's some scary chick. We've come to the conclusion that either she wants something in here or her spirit is somehow connected to this place, which would be a bit weird since she's Egyptian and I guess she never came to England. So, we've decided to investigate what is so interesting about this house. I mean, it's some old house next to a boarding school; I wouldn't choose this place to stay in my afterlife. Maybe, Malibu…or Las Vegas. Oh yes.

Anyway, I should get some sleep. My room was empty, no idea where Fabian was. That kid disappeared with the girls all the time. I thought it was because he had a crush on one of them, but after the hopscotch moment, he's getting kinda weird.
I laid on my bed after changing into my pajamas, which consisted of a white shirt and some pants, and closed my eyes falling asleep.

When I woke up, I prepared to go to school. I was slower than other days and I had to get a toast to eat it on my way to school. Ugh, this wasn't enough, Eddie needs his food, man. But I hadn't any other thing to eat. First and second period passed reeeally fast. And next was my favorite, free period. Oh, how I love that… but suddenly I was pulled into my father's office.

"Hey! What a- Patricia?" She pushed me against a wall. "What are you doing?"

"You know I didn't do it on purpose." She was close, really close…and I loved it. I wanted more, so my hands grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer.

"I know." She was inches away from me.

We were going to kiss in the principal's office, in my dad's office. If that isn't a turn on, I don't know what it is. I was about to reach her lips when I hit me: I couldn't be in school.
No, seriously, I couldn't. I had fallen asleep a Saturday and woken up in a day of school? Last time I checked, after Saturday came Sunday.
In that exact moment, Patricia changed. She wasn't Patricia anymore, that ghost, Senkhara, had taken her place. My eyes went wide as she put her glowing hand on my chest.

"You know too much, child." She said in an intimidating voice.

The contact was painful and I couldn't help to curse loudly and to try to get away. Suddenly, I woke up. This time for real.

My chest still hurt and I ran as fast as possible to the nearest mirror which was in the hallway. I took my shirt off to see why the hell did it hurt. There was a tattoo on my chest in the right side, it was some kind of dog or something. I guess some kind of Egyptian symbol. I ran my fingers through my hair, what was I going to do now

"Slimeball, what are you doing without shirt?" I heard her voice and turned my head to see her by the stairs. Patricia. She was fully clothed, unlike me, and was watching me amused- "Telling yourself that you look good, because no one else will?" She smirked.

"We both now you're enjoying the views, Yacker." I winked.

She was enjoying them. Her eyes went up and down my body. What can I say? I'm hot.

"Whatever." She said looking away.

I walked up to her with a mischievous smile. Yeah, I was still upset that he told everyone about Sweet being my dad, but it really wasn't her fault, was it? Plus, I enjoy annoying her and making her blush. Or maybe I was able to put those problems aside to make that previous dream come true.
But before I could pull any of my special moves to get a kiss from her, she saw that doggie mark I just got and frowned.

"What's that, Eddie?" She said serious.

"Nothing, Yacker, just some tattoo." I didn't want to tell her what happened, because she could get worried. Worry is not her thing usually, but who knows.

"Liar. How did you get that?"

"Don't worry. It's not like I put something bad." I said carrying on with the lie.

"What are you talking about? I know you are lying." She repeated.

God, she was stubborn.

"I'm not lying." I shook my head.

"Yes, you are."

"I'm not."

"Yes, you are."

"No." I sighed exasperated.

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes!"

"No!"

"You are! Stop it, doofus." She said showing me her wrist. There was a mark exactly like mine which made my eyes widen.

"You too?" I said surprised.

She looked at me conflicted like a part of her had pity on me and the other part just didn't know what to do. The next second, she took my hand and dragged me upstairs. She guided me into Nina's room without knocking. It's Patricia, knocking isn't in her vocabulary.

"Nina, we have a problem."

"Patricia!" Nina said startled. She was looking at clothes to wear in her closet and din't see us coming in.

"Uhm…why is a shirtless Eddie in our room?" Amber asked sitting on her bed. "I mean, I have nothing against having a nice looking boy here, but..."

"Look at this." Patricia interrupted her and pointed at my mark.

Nina looked and Amber stood up and came to see it too. Their expressions changed from surprise and confusion to worry. They looked at each other preoccupied.

"Oh no." Nina said lowering her voice.

"Hey, girls, not that I'm complaining on having three girls staring at me, but can someone tell me why the worried faces?" I said raising my eyebrows.

"You got the mark." Nina started to explain. "We all have it."

"You all…?"

"Yes, Amber, Patricia, Alfie, Fabian and I." She cleared. "And it's nothing good. You've seen Senkhara in the dream, right?"

"Yeah, she suddenly appeared and touched me." I answered not really wanting to share the part where Patricia turned into that ghost.

"We have to tell Fabian and Alfie." Nina said. Amber and Patricia nodded. "Maybe he could even help us."

"Him?" Patricia asked. "Yeah, right. He is too busy with Mara." She was clearly annoyed. My plan of making her jealous was working perfectly but I didn't care about it right now. I had more serious things to worry about right now.

"We are investigating together. You could have helped us, but you thought it was stupid."

"I told you that, because I didn't want this" She pointed at my chest. "to happen! But you couldn't keep your nose away!"

"A ghost appears in a video and I can't know what's happening?"

"No! Not when it threatens your life!"

"My life? What are you saying?"

She groaned and Nina started speaking:

"Look, Eddie, what I can tell you right now is that if we don't get something Senkhara wants before Victor does, we are all going to die."

I frowned when I saw she wasn't lying. They were all dead serious. Great, just great.

"Eh…Eddie, can you please put your shirt on? This is getting uncomfortable." Amber told me killing the uncomfortable silence that had been surrounding us.

"Sibuna meeting at lunch, girls." Nina said.

Sibuna? What the heck was that?

Hello!

Well, this is not my first fanfic, but I'm a new fan in House of Anubis. I started watching it some days ago, because I had seen gifs of Peddie in tumblr. And I LOOOOOOOOVEE it. Then, I thought it was time to write a fanfic :D

The inspiration came when someone in tumblr (I'm so sorry that I don't remember the url :/ ) posted an idea of how Eddie could get the mark and we would get to see Burkely Duffield shirtless. So, dear person, that idea is yours and I thank you for having it. If you read this, I would love that you told me who you are, so I can thank you personally and follow you on tumblr.

So, I hope you enjoyed this first chapter! :D

Review, sibunas!

Until next time. SIBUNA! ;)
