Chapter 4: THE SHADOW OF DARKNESS

When it was ten o'clock, Victor came in to the living room and said, "It is ten o'clock, you have five minutes precisely. Then I want to hear a pin drop."

Everyone rushed to go and to their room but I heard Nina tell the others, "Meeting in the attic when Victor goes to sleep, okay?"

The group, "Sure."

Even though it was lights out for the night, Eddie still wanted to stay up and tell stories about the ghost that lives in the walls of the house. I guess I fell asleep because when I woke up Fabian and Eddie where not in their beds, but the time was only twelve in the morning. So I decided to go up to the attic to look for them sense that was were Nina said they were meeting.

After I slipped passed a sleeping Victor and the girl's wing, I found the attic door opened a bit. When I began to go up the stairs, I heard people laughing. I got to the attic door and opened it to find Nina, Fabian, Amber, Patricia, Eddie, and KT sitting in a circle talking about nothing that made sense. Nina was saying, "Guys I had a dream that I was in the house but…"

By accident, the door opened and I fell into the middle of the group and landed right on the fruit salad (I must have looked like a mess). When I got I up was about to leave when Nina took me to sit down or leave and she would not talk to me again. Well I could live with knowing what was going on, but I couldn't live with talking to just Trudy for the rest of the year and it would be a long year, I thought. So I sat down and everyone looked at me like I was crazy to sit.

Nina began talking again, "As I was saying, I had I dream before I left that I was in the house with you guys, and Rob was there too. But then I saw Senkhara's ghost rise from the library floor…"

"What?"

"But that is impossible; she was banished to the underworld for all entirety."

"I such know. I did banish her. Remember."

"Wait who is Senkhara? And why is she making you guys so scared."

Nina filled me in on the secrets of the house and what happened for the past three terms, and how they usually save the world like every year.

NOTE: The three terms are Season 1 (Freshman Year), Season 2 (Sophomore Year), and Season 3 (Junior Year).

When she was done, Eddie began to speak, "I had the same dream too but Senkhara was not in it, Anubis was and he said that he would use the shadow to enter the mortal world to take revenge on those who destroyed his mistress's body and mind. Only question that I have is who is his mistress? Fabes do you know who she is?"

"I don't know maybe a priestess or something I'll check on the web, sorry."

I intercepted, "Anubis's mistress is Amut after she took over the Underworld. And one of the portals that he could use is a lunar eclipse. There is one in a few weeks it is all over the news." Everyone looked at me like I grow a third eye are something. Fabian asked, "How do you know that?"

I answered, "My grandma told me Egyptian myths when I was a kid. That was one of my favorite stories, but it always gave me nightmares about the final battle."

"Okay that weird. I mean who tells there grandchild about death and destruction?"

"My grandma said that I would need to know all of the myths when I grew up."

"It's still weird, next everyone will be having Chosen One and Osirian dreams too."

"I did have a dream like that too. But my shadow said that it will shallow "He", a new age of Chaos will fall to the Earth with his death, three will kneel, and it said tip the balance of everything. Also it called me old but I am only 17, that not old is it, and then there was a woman's voice said protect them."

Nina looked pale and tired and said that she wondered who I was, "You were in the entrance hall in the dream, and we had the same plane, now we are staying at the same house. What could it be? Who are you?"

At that time, Victor can running in the attic and screamed, "Everyone in their own rooms NOW! First night back and you are already broken the rules, and Mr. Minter I so hoped that you would be unlike the others. I will think of the best form of punishment for your group. Mr. Minter let this be a warning to you for the future. Bed now!"

After Fabian, Eddie and me went to our rooms, Eddie saw my Horus necklace and said that Nina had the same thing but it had a red gem for the eye not a blue one, and we went to sleep.

Dream:

I was in Anubis House but the shadow was there and said, "Eye you should not have come. The Chosen One and the Osirian can fight the witch and the jackal, but they will die when they face me even with your help. Only one could possible fight me and win. He died long ago by Isis's hand. Soon you and the entire world will join him. Rest well it will be the beginning of the end for you. So sad that you will not live to see it."
