Hi again! Here's the next chapter. I know the last one sucked, but I was ill so plz forgive me

''Eddie.'' Trudy walked in to the dining room. ''I have something to tell you.''

''Go on. Pretend that you know nothing.'' Patricia whispered into his ear. Eddie followed Trudy out.

"It's about your sister.'' She started. "She's very sick at the moment. They are running tests on her today so that they can find out what's wrong.'' Eddie's eyes teared up. He was glad that Amy was alive, but she was in pain. All because of him. "Your mother wants you to stay strong, and she wants you to stay at school. She will ring you on Skype at 7pm sharp.'' Trudy finished.

"Ok.'' Eddie got up and went back into the dining room. ''I got news.''

"Tell us then.'' Kendall said.

"My sister's alive and sick and its all my fault!'' Eddie explained close to tears. He was embarrassed to cry in front of people.

"It's not...'' Patricia tried to calm Eddie, but he stormed off into the boys' bathroom, Patricia chasing after him. Eddie slammed the door shut, making sure he locked it. He slid down against the door and let he tears take over, the ones he had been holding back from the past few days.

''Give him some space, Trish. Let's go to school.'' Kendall said.

"Jerome Clark.'' The teacher said.

"Here.''

"Kendall Elektra.''

"Here miss''

''Mara Jaffray''

"Here miss.''

"Willow Jenks.''

"Here.''

"Joy Mercer''

"Here Miss.''

"Eddie Miller.'' No reply. "Does anyone know where Eddie is? Patricia?''

"I think he's in the house. Would you like me to go get him?'' Patricia asked, getting up.

"Yes yes. Hurry up!''

Patricia ran as fast as she could back to Anubis house. She opened the door quietly, making sure that Victor doesn't know that she is here. Trudy was out shopping. Patricia opened Fabian and Eddie's bedroom door. It was empty. She left and knocked on the boys' bathroom door.

"Eddie. Are you in there?'' She said, trying her hardest to be gentle.

"Yacker, is that you? Has mum rang yet'' Eddie asked.

"Yeah, who else would it be? And no, your mum hasn't rung yet. What time are you expecting her to ring?''

"7."

"Ok. Open the door, please Eddie."

"ok." He opened the door. "Attic, now.'' Eddie walked fast to the stairs, Patricia following him.

"Why?'' She asked.

"Come.'' They crept past Victor's office and went to the attic door.

"How do we open it?'' Patricia asked.

''With the key.''

"It can only be used once.'' They both sighed.

"You distract Victor and I'll steal the key.'' Eddie came up with one of his quick plans.

"Bad idea, but it'll work.'' Patricia knocked on Victor's office, running off after.

"Who's there?'' Victor boomed. He then walked out of his office, forgetting to lock it. Eddie crept in, his stomach rumbling, remembering that he skipped breakfast.

"Attic key.'' He murmured to himself. "Got it!'' As he was about to leave, he heard Victor. Oh great, he thought.

Eddie's P.O.V

I ducked down quickly and hid behind the desk. Victor walked in.

"Tricks of the mind, Corbierre. Sometimes you hear things.'' Victor stroked the bird. I find it weird that he can be that nice and gentle to a stuffed raven, but not to actual people. Victor turned around and I took this opportunity to creep out. I crawled out of his office, then I went downstairs to find Patricia.

"Did you get it?'' She asked me.

"Yep. Now come on!'' we tip toed up the stairs back to the attic and opened the door.

Normal P.O.V

Patricia and Eddie ascended the steep stairs going up to the attic.

"Look, there's nothing here!'' Patricia sighed.

"Just follow me. I know there is something here.''

"Eddie, look! Your ring!'' Patricia pointed to Eddie's ring, which was glowing blue with the word 'Osirion' on it.

"I think it leads to a door of a type." Eddie suggested. They kept looking for a door with 'Osirion' marked on it. They knew it wouldn't be obvious. After 10 odd minutes of searching, Eddie found something.

"Hey Yacker, look!'' Eddie held his ring up against a painting of a woman, and surely enough, it split open, revealing a long, round tunnel. Eddie leapt right in, without thinking twice (as if he ever does). Suddenly, the picture joined back into two, leaving Eddie trapped behind.

"Eddie. EDDIE!'' Patricia banged on the painting, but no answer.

"I'm Lulu. Whoever does not think twice will be trapped behind for 3 alignments of the two realms.'' A voice spoke. It came from the picture.

"Who are you to trap my boyfriend behind a painting you stupid voice?'' Patricia rudely spoke. But then, she remembered what the alignment of the two realms meant – 12'o'clock noon or midnight. She looked at her watch. 12:04pm. Eddie would be trapped behind there for 36 hours. Without food, or drink. "Eddie, answer me. Are you ok?'' No reply.

"Sibuna meeting. After supper. Tell the others." Patricia whispered to KT.

After school, all the Sibuna's got together in Fabian's room.

"Where's Eddie?'' Fabian asked.

"He's trapped in the attic guys! Until midnight on Wednesday!" Patricia explained in worry.

"How?'' KT asked.

"Me and Eddie went to the attic. Eddie's ring started to glow, you know like Nina's locket does. A painting of some woman was hung up and it opened when he pressed his ring against it.''

"So there's a painting that opens up with a ring. Weird.'' Kendall exclaimed.

"You'll get used to it.'' Alfie replied.

"But he's safe, right. I mean, Nina was trapped in an underground cell when that Senkhara business happened, and she was safe, right.'' Fabian said. Patricia was speechless.

"Don't tell me you didn't hear his voice.'' KT had a very worried look on her face.

"It's getting worse guys. Eddie has the spare key to the attic. And we can't use the other one that came in the box because it can only be used once.'' Patricia explained.

"We have to get him out!'' Fabian declared.

"Not until Wednesday, though.'' Patricia replied.

"Any good new that doesn't put any of us in a life threatening situation?'' Alfie questioned.

"Guys, I think the Crook of Osiris is down that tunnel.'' Patricia said. "But that's not our priority at the moment. We have to help Eddie first.''

"Sibuna.'' KT said.

"Sibuna.''

I know the quest isn't clear yet, but it will in the next few chapters. I have exams in just over a month, so new chapters will be posted less regularly. Please review
