Samantha's POV
I walked through the halls of the hotel. When two of Jerome's friends cut me off.
"Hey Samantha." One of them said cheerfully.
"Patricia and Joy right?" I asked.
"Yeah," Joy smiled though I could see right through it. "So we need you to come with us, it's an Anubis thing."
The two girls linked their arms in both sides of me and they led me off to a room. I would have fought, but they might have thought the something was up.
Inside the room a girl with a dark cloak and hood sat in the middle. I noticed Jerome and his two friends Alfie and Fabian leaning on one of the beds.
"What's going on Jerome?" I asked him.
He didn't answer, instead he looked down at his feet as if we were two strangers in a market place.
Patricia pushed me down. I held onto the Evil Eye knowing it wanted to do something, but I had to wait and see what they want.
"What do you know of the eye of Horus?" The one with the cloak asked. Jerome looked up to see my reaction.
"It's Egyptian, right?" I asked.
"Correct." She laughed.
"That's all I know." I lied. The eye of Horus knew I was lying, it lit up under her cloak and the room began to shake.
"You're lying, you know more, much more!" Her voice became dark.
I had to do something, I let go of the Evil Eye. I knew that it could do more than just kill. I knew it could persuade people, I knew it can do worse too, I was hoping that if I let it go and do what it wants to do that it would let them live and just make them stop questioning me.
I was correct. The Evil Eye made a bright flash, so bright I could almost feel my eyes burn to a crisp, then it vanished, Jerome, Fabian, Alfie, the woman in the cloak, Patricia, and Joy were out cold, still alive, but out. I quickly tucked the cold chain into my shirt and ran out of the room.
I hid in my own room the rest of the day, that's when I heard a knock at my door.
"Who is it?" I asked, standing in front of my door.
"It's Jerome." I heard from the other side.
"What do you want?"
"Aren't we going for coffee?" I looked through the peep hole, it was him.
I slowly opened the door. He had a smile, that must have been a good sign.
"I can't today, I have to volunteer. You and your friends can help."
"I don't think so, some of them might though." Jerome said, we walked back to his rooms. Hesitantly I walked in after him.
"Nina, Fabian, do you guys want to volunteer with Samantha?" Jerome asked.
"Sure, what for?" Nina asked, maybe she didn't remember anything.
"Tutoring," I responded.
"Yeah, we'd love too." Mara nodded.
"Well I'm leaving now, so if you guys want to."
Fabian and Nina stood and followed me out.
Everything was going well till Nina tried to talk to me.
Nina squeezed between Mara and I to talk to us. I felt a pain in my chest; I stopped and grabbed the Eye through my shirt.
"What's wrong?" Fabian grabbed my hand. He felt the pain too and immediately let go.
"Is the Evil Eye turning against you?" I heard Nina say.
"What are you talking about?"
"You think that one flash and my memory of last night would just vanish?" Nina snapped.
"Everyone else's did, but I guess the Eye of Horus doesn't aloud dark magic near you. Does it chosen one?" I snickered.
"What do you know and why the hell are you doing this?" Nina shouted.
"I think you should be worrying about something or someone else right now." I nodded to Fabian who was holding his chest on the ground.
"What are you doing to him? Stop it right now!" Nina helped Fabian up.
"I can't." I snickered again.
"Why, you caused this." Fabian managed to say.
"No, the Evil Eye caused this, it has a mind of it's own."
"Why did it hurt him?" Nina was on the verge of tears thinking that Fabian was going to die.
"It felt threatened, don't worry though." I said.
"Why shouldn't I be worried?" Nina said mad now.
"Because he isn't going to die. The Evil Eye isn't all bad, it can do much more than kill. How else do you think Jerome, Amber, Patricia, Joy, Fabian, and Alfie don't remember last night?"
"So the Evil Eye isn't evil?" Nina asked.
"Oh it's evil, just not completely." I informed, now, if you ever want your poor Fabian to get better than I suggest no one ever hears about this, EVER!" I grinned.
Nina and Fabian looked at each other and thought, it took them a while. But they soon agreed to keep it to themselves.
"Who knows, maybe we'll get along and we can help you communicate with the Eye of Horus." I turned around and began walking.
"We, who's we?" Nina yelled after me. A grin painted on my face all the way out of the hotel.
Sorry it's short, I had to leave it at that for dramatic effect. So here are some questions to think about…
What is Nina and Fabian going to do?
What is up with Samantha and the Evil Eye?
Who is we?
Will anyone else ever find out about the true Samantha?
