A/N Here's another one. Have fun. SIBUNA!
A loud banging was heard throughout the halls by where the nurses area was. Mr. Sweet and Victor were with the nurse trying to pry the door open to where Amanda was trapped. Alfie went walking by as this was happening. He watched and then ran to get Fabian and Nina.
Breathless from running into the classroom Alfie gasped, "Nina...Fabian...Amanda...door...jammed!"
"What are you talking about?" Nina asked as everyone started to gather to hear what was going on and why their science teacher hadn't shown up yet.
"The door to where Amanda is in the nurses area is jammed shut. Victor and Mr Sweet are there with the nurse trying to get it open! They seem to be in a hurry of some kind, like something is going on inside." Alfie finally was able to explain after catching his breath.
"What!?" Jerome yelled.
"I wonder if the connection has gotten stronger." Fabian whispered so that not all the students could hear.
"We have to go see what's going on." Nina said with a worried look as she got up from her seat.
As Nina, Fabian, Alfie, Jerome, and Amber walked out of the room Eddie and Patricia was walking in. Nina grabbed Eddie by the shirt and begin pulling him with them. "Come on we might need you." She said to a very confused Eddie.
As they ran down the hallway they explained everything to Eddie and Patricia. When they got closer to the room the slowed down since they knew that they would be sent away if they were seen. Suddenly Nina jumped back and grabbed at the chest area of her shirt. "What's wrong?" Patricia asked.
"Something burned me." Nina said as she reached in her shirt and pulled out her locket which looked as though it was on fire. Then suddenly Amber let out a shriek.
"What was that?" Jerome asked with a disgusted look on his face. "Hopefully their banging was loud enough not to hear you screaming!"
"It's not my fault, it's the wall." Amber said as she moved further and further from the spot she was on.
Nina began wallking towards where Amber was standing. It was the corner aspect of the wall that if broken through would lead directly to the room where Amanda was. As soon as Nina walked closer to it a mark on the wall appeared to be on fire just like her locket. There was also a groove in the wall that looked as if her locket would fit perfectly. Nina took off her locket and placed it in the groove. Suddenly a part of the wall seemed to slide open. She glanced over at Fabian and said, "Here we go again." The she lead the way as her and the others began to walk inside of the new doorway. When they were inside the door closed behind them. There was slight lighting coming from small grooves in the floor and ceiling. It was a tunnel. A few feet from where they were standing was the first door. "Do you think Amanda's in there?" She asked.
"There is only one way to find out." Jerome said as he stepped past Nina and opened the door.
What they saw after entering the room shocked them. Amanda was floating a few inches above the bed and she looked somewhat peaceful if it weren't for her outer appearance. All of the wires that were connected from her to the monitor were still connected. They showed her heart rate being extremely high and they showed her having very little oxygen. There was a firey glow surrounding her just like the one from Nina's locket. Her hair was almost all black as if something were growing over her normal hair. It was finishing blackening the ends of her hair as the streaks of white began to form starting on her roots and stretching to the ends in about 4 places. The door where Victor and Mr Sweet were trying to get in was stapled with large white swordlike teeth that held the door very secure. Suddenly with a shaky voice Amber asked, "What is that on her forhead?"
As the others looked they noticed a type of groove on her forhead that looked like something was supposed to be placed there. As they were looking closer at her face they noticed the tears that began to stream down her cheeks. "She's in pain." Nina said. "And I think she can hear us, I think she knows we're here."
Nina and Eddie glanced at each other and began walking around. They walked around Amanda in opposite directions. "Be careful!" Patricia shouted out.
As they walked they would keep seeing a dragon shadow flying around the room. It would come in glimpses and each time Nina and Eddie would jump when they would see it. "What did you see?" Fabian asked.
"You can't see it?" Eddie asked as he ducked due to the shadow flying by his head.
"See what? All we see is you two jumping and ducking." Alfie said with a shaky voice.
"I can't handle it any more!" Amber yelled as she began going out the way they had gotten in. But the door would not open again, and Nina's locket wasn't evey slightly glowing to be able to open it. "We're trapped." Amber said as she sank slowly to the ground holding her knees to her chest with Alfie next to her trying to comfort and calm her down.
Nina and Eddie glanced at each other and began to round the bed and start walking towards each other. What were they to do now?
Suddenly Eddie's watch began to glow and it began to burn his skin. As he winced he noticed a button that just appeared out the side of the watch. He pushed the button and the top of the watch opened. There was a type of jewel in the watch that was the perfect size for the mark they saw on Amanda's forehead. Eddie picked up the jewel and placed it in the groove on Amanda's forehead. Immediatly there was a flash and something threw Nina and Eddie back against the wall. The flash was so bright that everyone had to cover their eyes to keep the throbbing pain away. Then when the light passed they saw Amanda sitting straight up in bed. The fire that was surrounding her had decreased, but she still seemed to be asleep.
Suddenly her eyes popped open but were only white. Nina and Eddie began to get up and walk towards the bed. Jerome rushed to Amanda. "Amanda, Are you okay?" he asked. When he reached out and touched Amanda's hand a shock went through his body and he fell onto the floor unconcious. Fabian ran to him to make sure he was still breathing.
"He's alive." Fabian said as he glanced at the others.
Amanda turned her face towards Nina and Eddie who immediately stopped walking. Her eyes seemed to fill with a black tar-like material that covered all the white from the bottom up. Then she spoke. "It will never stop. As long as the mask is in their hands she will have no rest. They will hunt her to use her to awaken Apep. The energy that flows through her from the ritual is what will release the powers to awaken him. If she gives in or is forced to help out this evil she will be lost forever. You must find the mask and help this child fight the evil that is able to creep within her Chosen One. And the protection that will always keep the evil back will be from with in you Osirian. Keep her from the creature that is being released."
"Who are you, and how do we do this?" Nina asked.
"I am Anubis. I was able to protect her life this once, but you are responsible here after. This power is within you."
Suddenly Amanda's eyes closed. Slowly she was lowered back to the bed and the fire around her disappeared. The room seemed to turn back to normal and as it did so Amanda began to fall. Eddie ran forward to balance her on the bed. Her hair became its normal color with one streak of black and one streak of white left in it. The groove from her forhead began to disappear and as it did the jewel fell from Amanda's forehead. Eddie caught it and quickly put it back in his watch which went back to normal as well. Slowly Amanda's heart rate and oxygen went back to normal and she began to wake up.
Suddenly Victor, Mr Sweet, and the nurse came falling through the door which they suddenly were able to break down. As they lay on the floor they looked up at the scene. "Do I even want to ask?" Mr Sweet said as he noticed Jerome slowly sitting up on the floor as Fabian began to steady and help him.
"No you really don't." Eddie responded.
Amanda turned to Nina and Eddie, "Thank you." She said as she began to sit up on her own. "I'm not sure what happened, but I know it was you two who helped to get me out."
"Do you remember anything?" Nina asked.
"Only the part with me flying on a dragon, setting Anubis house on fire, and being on fire myself. The pain was unbearable. I was so close to giving in, but then something took over and the pain seemed to go away, but I still felt trapped and I have no idea what happened after that." Amanda responded.
"While we walk back to our rooms we'll explain it to you." Nina said as she began to help Amanda up.
"Not right now you won't." The nurse blurted out. "Not until I run some tests on her to make sure she's okay."
"You were supposed to be taking care of her when things went wrong, so why would we want to leave her with you now?" Fabian injected. "Her monitors are okay and if there are any problems we'll bring her back." Then he helped Nina get Amanda up out of bed and take her back to her room to rest. But they left so quickly they didn't see what was left behind. A shadow was left on the bed, one that looked like a small dragon with a girl riding on it. Victor saw it and when he tried to touch it his arm was lit on fire and the nurse and Mr Sweet rushed him out to soak him in a pool of water. They left the door open as they ran out and the shadow managed to fly out into the hallway of the school.
A/N Well there it is everybody. I hope it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Please review, I haven't had many and I really want to know what you thing. SIBUNA!
