Chapter One: Eavesdroppers Among Us

"I've been told that it's not polite to eavesdrop, but it's just so darn fun to hear little pieces of another's conversation and just imagine the rest of it." –Anonymous

It had been about three weeks since the news, and surprisingly, not much was different in Patricia's life. She was still Patricia; Eddie was still Eddie; etc. Most people still treated her like the same girl, but most people didn't realize that she was the Knowledgeable One. She felt special, but she didn't feel like she was the gossip of the school. Things were as she liked them and nothing had become complicated: yet.

Patricia woke up the next morning and looked around her room. It was Friday morning and neither Nina nor KT had stirred yet. She stared at the ceiling for a few minutes until Nina's alarm went off. She rolled over in bed to try to prevent Nina and KT from waking her up, but they weren't fooled for long. They had her up and ready to go and soon she was sulking down the stairs for breakfast. She flopped down into her place next to Eddie and munched loudly on the cereal in front of her. Trudy walked in with a note in her hand.

"What do you have there, Trudy?" Fabian asked.

"Oh," she said after being jostled out of her train of thought, "it's just a letter for Patricia. Here you go, love." She handed Patricia the letter and walked into the kitchen.

Patricia opened the letter and read it to herself. She suddenly got really pale and Eddie took the letter from her and for once, Patricia didn't raise a fight. He read the letter out loud, but very quietly; if the other Sibunas hadn't been sitting right next to him, they probably wouldn't have been able to hear him.

"Dear Young Knowledgeable One,

You have recently found out who you are, but you are still ignorant. Sarah's Knowledgeable One is lost to time. You have no one to guide you. Watch the clock, for time ticks quickly when evil is involved. Do not doddle; learn what you must. Go to Alexandria, ask Alexandra, learn about yourself.

Anonymous"

"Don't worry, it's nothing to worry about," Alfie reassured Patricia.

"Yeah. You have us and you know 'all that was, is, and will be'," KT said the last part in a low, mocking voice. "The Knowledgeable One has nothing to worry about." KT gave Patricia a smile, but got no response from the goth pixie.

Patricia silently got up from the table and grabbed her bag. She began to walk out of the room and Eddie jogged to catch up with her. The other Sibunas weren't far behind.

They were walking out into the hallway when Fabian and Nina practically ran into Victor. They both mumbled a "sorry Victor" and went on their way.

"Did you hear that, Corbiere?" Victor said to his raven a little while later in his office. "One of our students knows everything. I have never heard of this 'Knowledgeable One' before, but who knows. Some research will do me good anyway." He started pulling books off of the shelf like crazy. He stared at the bird and said, "This might be my last chance for immortality. I feel myself aging every day. I grow older and older. I feel as if I don't have much time left." He then immersed himself in his books. The students would be out of his hair until three so he had a lot of time to search through these books.

Nina had wanted to say something to the Sibunas earlier, but she didn't want to worry them. She had been having this feeling that someone was watching them. She felt like she had to keep an eye over her shoulder to make sure that no one was watching them. She tried to not get so worried; after all, it was just a feeling. But somehow, she couldn't drop this odd idea that someone outside of Sibuna knew their secrets.
