And her is the second chapter! I don't have anything to say, but just a heads up, this one contains a whole lot of peddie. ;) Enjoy!
I don't own House of Anubis
Eddie rounded the corner with Fabian and Alfie following closely behind him. Now that he had gotten the other Sibuna members, he was going to meet Patricia and make a plan about how to handle KT. He still couldn't believe she had betrayed them. He was torn between anger and hurt at this fact. She was supposed to be one of his best friends. She had seemed so kind and loyal, but obviously it was all an act. She had made her decision about what side to support, and that was it. There was no going back.
Eddie rounded another corner with the other two behind him, expecting to see Patricia where he had left her by the lockers. However, as he scanned the hallway, he couldn't find her.
"Where is she?" he mumbled, glancing into a classroom. "I told her to stay here."
"Do you really think Patricia would willingly stay put after you ordered her to?" Alfie asked jokingly.
"But Patricia is smart enough not to go wandering around when KT could be rounding up sinners anywhere," said Fabian slightly pensively. A feeling of dread bubbled up in Eddie as he looked in the last classroom in the hallway and didn't see a trace of his girlfriend anywhere. He was beginning to worry.
"Let's call her," suggested Alfie. He whipped out his phone and clicked Patricia's contact name, and held his phone to his ear. After a few seconds, the group heard the muffled playing of the heavy metal song that was Patricia's ringtone. Eddie glanced around, hoping to see Patricia walking towards them, but she was still nowhere in sight.
"Oh great," Fabian said as he walked up to Patricia's locker, which was the source of the song, "Nice going Patricia."
Alfie turned off his phone and glanced up at the others worriedly. Eddie ran his fingers through his hair and leaned against the wall. Where could she be? He knew she didn't like to be bossed around, but when he had told her to stay here she had agreed willingly. She was smart enough to know that there was danger around. Even though she was stubborn, Eddie was sure she wouldn't go off on her own just to prove a point.
"Look, Eddie, there's no need to panic, all right?" Fabian said to the shaking Eddie, "We have no reason to believe anything bad has happened to her."
Eddie nodded. Perhaps there was no reason to worry. What if he was getting worked up over nothing? There wan't any evidence that his girlfriend was in danger. But then he remembered something that made his insides turn to lead. He had been stubbornly trying to forget it to make the pain go away, but the memory came crashing over him once again, In his mind, he saw Patricia being dragged into the tank room and shoved into a sarcophagus while he stood there watching, unable to move. His eyes widened, realizing Patricia was in more danger than any of them. Why had he allowed her out of his sight?
"What is it? What's wrong?" Alfie asked, noticing Eddie's face grow pale. Eddie explained his vision to them in a low voice, so none of the students passing them in the hallway would hear. It was slightly difficult for Eddie to recall the terrible memory out loud, and he finished with a deep breath. Alarmed, Fabian and Alfie stared at him with wide eyes.
"Okay. We need to find Patricia and fast," said Fabian. Just then, Mara exited the girl's bathroom, humming to herself.
"Mara!" said Fabian, gesturing her over, "Was Patricia in the bathroom by any chance?"
"Or KT?" added Alfie grimly.
"No. I actually saw Patricia and KT go outside together a little while ago," said Mara, smiling at them. Eddie's eyes widened. He felt slightly dizzy. Patricia was off on her own, with KT.
"Thanks Mara," said Fabian stiffly, giving Alfie and Eddie a panicked look, which they gave him back. Mara said something back to them, but Eddie didn't hear. He had only one thing on his mind: finding Patricia.
"We need to go to the gatehouse. Now," stammered Eddie. The others nodded, and the group began to run towards the door.
They crashed through the door and began to sprint towards the gatehouse. It seemed like it was miles away to Eddie. He was breathing heavily as he neared the door, but he didn't slow down. He quickly typed '1922' into the panel, and burst through the door, not even caring if Denby was right behind it. All he cared about was getting to Patricia.
Fabian and Alfie crept up behind Eddie as he neared the stairs.
"Let's try and be quiet," said Fabian, putting his hand on Eddie's shoulder to stop him from charging up the stairs.
"Yeah," said Alfie, "Froby's probably up there, and he's got a bit of an anger problem, if you know what I mean."
Eddie reluctantly quieted down, and began to ascend the staircase slowly with Fabian and Alfie right behind him. However, just as they were halfway up, a loud noise filled the gatehouse. Someone was screaming upstairs, and Eddie recognized the voice. It was Patricia.
With all thoughts of being stealthy gone, Eddie began to sprint up the staircase loudly, not caring who heard him. He just needed to get to Patricia.
