Hey guys! So here is chapter 7 of The Pyramid of Zheti! So happy to get this up! This one is a lot longer than the other chapters so YAY! R&R and as always ENJOY!
"Oh Nina I was worried you wouldn't remember me! But now that I know you do your coming with me." Rufus breathed obviously tired from chasing them and grabbed her by the wrist dragging her closer to the warehouse.
"No Rufus please stop!"
"I think you will find it best not to talk, you've dealt with me before you know very well what can happen."
Nina shut her mouth she did know what could happen not just to her but her friends too. The warehouse door opened with a creak and a gleam of light stretched across the ground. It wasn't a lot of light but she could see somewhat, including Clarissa tied up against the wall. Uncocious. She could hear Rufus laughing as the warehouse got darker and the door closed with a thud and the jiggling of locks could be heard from outside the door. He had won, they had lost, there was a fault in their plan and Rufus found it and won.
Staring at the clock and wondering how sibuna was doing was the only thing they could do. They had failed their part of the plan and the only thing to do was hope sibuna hadn't failed too, but Eddie's uneasiness told them otherwise. Something bad happened and they had to wait another half an hour to know what that was.
"Don't worry, everything's going to be ok! We'll know what happened soon enough!" Patricia soothed but it wasn't helping it just made Eddie more mad.
"IT'S NOT SOON ENOUGH, I COULD HAVE PREVENTED WHATEVER IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH NINA AND I KNOW IT! I JUST HAD TO COME TO DETENTION AND HELP YOU DEAL WITH YOUR OWN PROBLEMS! YOU BROUGHT YOURSELF INTO THIS! FOR ALL I KNOW YOU COULD HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR IT! I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE BEEN WITH NINA!"
The bell rang and without even waiting for Eddie she grabbed her bags and walked out of the classroom to have Eddie chase after her calling her name.
"Patricia wait please! I didn't mean any of that I was just mad!"
Patricia whipped around to face him with tears in her eyes and opened her mouth to speak but closed and just shook her head.
"I don't believe that Eddie, I think you meant it. I'm done."
"What do you mean done? Are you breaking up with me?"
She couldn't talk there was a lump in her throat and tears threatening to spill.
"I don't know….Maybe I am…."
She walked away and back to the house, not stopping when she heard her name being called behind her. She got to her room and then let the tears fall, fall like they've never fallen before because everyone knows Patricia Williamson doesn't cry.
"You children were taking too long, I had to do it and show you what can actually happen if you don't get this done for me." Eddie whipped around and saw Zulus standing behind him with an evil smirk playing at his lips.
"You did this? How could you! I LOVED HER!"
"Ding-Ding-Ding I think you've caught on because I do believe when we first met the words I said were…'Lose the things you love.'"
"I would never say that to her! You made me say I wanted Nina!"
"Ah but you see Osirian, it looks like you said that, and well that's the good thing about this whole afterlife, we control you but not In the way you'd think but simply by fear and your emotions, I figured out what triggers certain things and just pull the strings a little at a time till they break."
"NO!" Eddie screamed running for Zulus but he was already gone, Eddie's fists collided with the wall and his back slid down it until he was on the ground letting the tears fall, like they've never fallen before, because everyone knows Eddie Miller doesn't cry.
"Ok guys! What's our next move?" Fabian asked as they all squeezed through the door of Anubis house.
"I don't know maybe-"
"Guys where's Nina!?" Eddie said rushing over to them in a panic.
"She's right behind- GUYS WHERE'S NINA!?"
"She's gone!"
"Well where is she?" Patricia asked walking down the stairs and joining the group. Her eyes were red but she had redone her make-up so it wasn't smudged.
"I don't know! We don't even know when we lost her! Last time we were with her was when we were outside the warehouse and we saw some dark figure and- OH MY GOD! What if the figure took her?"
"Look I say we need to have a sibuna meeting, mine and Fabian's room. Now?"
"Yes come on let's go!" They walked into Eddie and Fabian's room and all took separate seats and were surprised to see Patricia sit as far away from Eddie as possible but ignored it and went into the story of what happened just a few hours ago.
"mmm….hmmm….what happened?"
"Clarissa your awake!"
"What happened? The last thing I remember was being thrown in here and then my head hurt a lot and then everything just went black."
"Do you remember who threw you in here?"
"Not really! But your Nina right? The Chosen one?"
"Yes we met when I came to your house with Patricia and our friends?"
"Oh yes! How are you guys doing with the quest?"
"Well not so good considering I'm in here and I'm pretty sure my friends don't even know."
"WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!? SHE'S GONE! WE CAN'T DO THIS WITHOUT HER! I NEED HER!"
"Fabian it's ok we'll get her back it will be ok!" Patricia said calmly as Fabian wrapped his arms around her laying his head on her shoulder sobbing. Eddie just scoffed, was he jealous? Maybe.
"Guys I don't think he's going to be ok…"
"No duh Alfie! Let's NOT state the obvious here for a second." Alfie just pouted causing Eddie to scoff again and Patricia to give him an icy glare.
"And Eddie can you not be an insensitive jerk for second, because that would be great." Patricia scoffed with a roll of her eyes.
"Look I think we're all under a lot of stress, so let's just all calm down and think about how we plan on getting Nina back!" Fabian lifted his head off Patricia's shoulder and wiped a few stray tears from his eyes. This was going to be a long night.
"Ok it's been an hour and we still haven't figured out anything. I mean come on guys how are we gonna get her back!" Fabian screamed causing everyone to jump and step back a little.
"Fabian it's going to be ok….don't worry we will find her.." Patricia soothed pulling him into a hug.
"Jeez how come you only calm down for Patricia? I've tried calming you down for like 45 minutes!" Eddie pouted.
"Maybe because she's my best friend!" Fabian shot back.
"I thought I was your best friend!" Eddie exclaimed.
"Well you're acting like a jealous freak right now instead of even trying to help me! You shouldn't even be jealous if me and Patricia I love Nina remember?"
"I'm not jealous of you two!"
"Please anyone could tell you're jealous because I'm hugging Patricia as a friend!"
"Ok guys can we please stop fighting about who's jealous and who's not! Our best friend is in trouble and you two won't stop screaming at each other!" Patricia yelled silencing the two boys.
"He started it!"
"Eddie." Patricia warned.
"Sorry..."
"How are we going to get Nina back?"
"Let's go!"
"What!? Fabian are you crazy, we can't just walk in there and say 'Hey Jason, Yah um were here to take Nina.'" Patricia shouted.
"No I mean let's go to the warehouse and see if Jason is there and if he isn't we try and get Nina out!"
"Fine let's go…" Eddie complied grabbing his jacket and leading the group out of Anubis.
"Well what do we do now? He's here so we can't get her out!" Patricia whisper/yelled from the front of the group.
"Well maybe we just need to-" The group stopped when they heard a loud laugh come from inside the warehouse.
"As I was saying-"
"Wait!" Patricia said fear in her eyes as she put her hand in front of Eddie to silence him.
"That's not Jason…" She whispered fear never leaving her eyes.
"What? Patricia you're not making any sense.."
"I know that laugh… that's Rufus."
"Hello Patricia, I'm so touched you remembered my laugh." Rufus said causing Patricia to jump and turn around.
"Rufus? How did you possibly get back here?"
"Oh now Patricia we don't need to discuss details, I'm still so touched by how you remembered my laugh. Was it when I kidnapped you? Yes, that must be it." Rufus added when he saw the sudden bulge in Patricia's eyes. "Aw does that still have an effect on wee little Patricia? By the way, I notice there isn't anymore color in your hair? Oh my do you remember those, cause I do, there was always red or purple or blue." Rufus' eyes got dark and his voice grew deeper. He lunged forward at Patricia but she backed up just in time as he landed flat on his face and they ran off. They slipped through the front door of Anubis and went into the common room trying to catch their breath.
"I'm sorry but did he say he kidnapped you?" Eddie yelled, eyes wide.
"Yes, ok he did."
"And you never told me this because?!"
" I don't know! I really didn't feel like talking about it! I thought he was gone! You know never to be seen again!"
"Still I'm in Sibuna! You didn't think about telling me at all?!"
"Eddie! Lay off! That was hard time for her and you're going to yell at her for not telling you! No one wanted to talk about it, it was awful! Also you weren't here! So stop acting like if we would have told you it would have made a difference! Stop acting like you're some type of hero! You can't save everyone Eddie and you're just going to have to live with that!" Fabian shouted getting into Eddie's face before walking off into his room and slamming the door behind him.
"Patricia I-" She only rolled her eyes and scoffed walking up the stairs to her room.
Hey Guys! So before you get really mad at me for breaking Peddie up...let me explain! So I felt like I was kind of getting of track on the story I feel like I was making it more about Peddie and less about the mystery so if you have been noticing that I am extremely sorry! Another reason is because I feel like it adds more drama and that's good! Also don't worry Peddie fans I am a Peddie shipper if you have seen my other stories you can probably tell! So I will tell that *HINT HINT* and don't worry there will still be plenty of Peddie moments even though they are not together...for right now *HINT HINT*
Anyways thank you all for reading and as always RRREEEEVVVIIIEEEWWWW! I would really appreciate it oh and if you have any Ideas for this story don't be afraid to PM me or review them! I'm always open to suggestions!
