Hi! Finally, I can update! Did you all watch Touchstone of Ra? If you haven't seen it, YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT! I've seen it on demand like 10 times! And can everyone please listen to Carry You by Union J. It's a really good up-beat song. And the boys are so cute!
Right, recap - The Sibunas went to the attic and there was an obstacle course that only the Osirion can go across it. Then, Peddie broke up because Apep punished Eddie for taking ages on the task. Now, Patrome is together and Eddie has begun to self-harm as he can't take it anymore.
I love Eddie angst! Right, Peddie lovers might hate some parts of this chapter, but this all leads up to the twist, which will probably take place after the mystery is finished. So,
*MINI-SPOILER ALERT* it has nothing to do with the mystery.
Right, on with the story!
The Sibunas went up the stairs to the attic.
''Come on.'' Eddie hurried.
''Ow, Eddie you stepped on my foot! Aren't you gonna say sorry?'' Patricia moaned.
''No.'' Eddie darted back.
''Have you two had a falling out?'' Kendall asked.
''I'm alright. It's him!'' Patricia said.
''You're the one who dumped me!'' Eddie argued back.
''Hey, calm down. We have to do this!'' Fabian calmed.
''Are you sure you'll be able to do it?'' Kendall asked.
''I'll be fine.'' Eddie snapped back.
''Awww, my new boyfriend's texted me!'' Patricia smiled.
''Who's that?'' KT asked.
''Jerome.'' she replied, to a gasp.
''Jerome?'' Eddie cried.
''Do you have a problem with that?'' Patricia asked, walking up to her ex.
''No.'' Eddie replied.
''Then shut up.'' she said rudely.
''Right, watch out for that...'' Fabian began. ''EDDIE! BE CAREFUL!'' Eddie had started the obstacle course without thinking twice.
''Eddie, turn around and come back now!'' Kendall shouted.
''NO!'' cried Eddie, continuing the course.
''Be careful!'' KT shouted.
''I would appreciate it if you all just shut up for a bit!'' Eddie replied angrilly. He had turned around to do this, and when he turned around, Apep was standing there.
''Why aren't you hurrying?'' Apep boomed in his usual style.
''I am hurrying, can't you see!'' Eddie replied in frustration.
''Eddie, stop talking to yourself!'' Fabian said.
''Yeh, you're so sad! Arguing with an obstacle course! No wonder I dumped you!'' Patricia laughed.
''HAHAHA! The first punishment has arrived! The second will be even more severe! It is fast approaching, Osirion!'' with that, Apep vanished.
''What is it? WHAT IS IT?'' Eddie shouted and then screamed in pain when a moving sphere (the long sharp blade thingies that move) attacked him in the arm.
''Eddie! Come back!'' yelled Kendall. When he got back, Sibuna minus Patricia ran over to him.
''Eddie, are you ok?'' asked KT.
''Yeah, its just a cut.'' he replied, hiding the pain.
''I don't think so.'' Kendall lifted up his arm, revealing a very bloody arm.
''We have to get back down. We'll come back tomorrow.'' said KT.
''Hey, what's up with Peddie?'' Kendall asked Patricia.
''There's no Peddie. It's Patrome!'' replied Patricia.
''But Eddie was perfect - he's the Osirion!''
''Well, Jerome and I go well together. We're both rude and fierce. And scary at times.''
''But Eddie's cute!''
''You have him. I don't want Eddie - he's a bad boyfriend.'' Patricia walked off.
The next day at breakfast
The Sibunas said to Trudy that Eddie had had (Word repetetion LOL)accident whilst playing football. Being gulliable, she believed them.
''Alfie, do you always have to eat ten times as much as everyone else?'' Fabian said.
''Errr, I'm a growing boy, so yes I have to.'' replied Alfie, helping himself to another slice of toast.
''Eddie, can I have a word?'' Trudy asked.
''Yeah, sure.'' he got up off the table and left.
''It's about your sister, Amy.'' Trudy started.
''What about her?'' Eddie started gasping.
''Do you think Eddie's ok?'' Fabian asked at the table.
''I dunno. He hasn't come back yet.'' Kendall replied. ''I'm gonna go check on him.''
''Eddie, are you ok?'' asked Kendall. She noticed that he was in bed, head in hands, facing the other way. No reply.
''Yeah, it's just nothing.'' he wiped away the tears, trying to act tough. ''Have you done something with the hair?'' he said, trying to change the subject.
''Yes, went brunette. Don't try and change the subject - you have tears in your eyes.''
''Ok.'' admitting defeat, he began to explain. ''It's this mystery. The curse... Punishment... Came true...'' Eddie sobbed.
''Wait. What was the punishment?'' asked Kendall.
''My sister...well..she's gone!'' he began crying properly now, wincing when the tears touched the massive scarlet scratch below his eye. Kendall gave the boy a well-needed hug.
''Who did this?'' Kendall asked, pointing to his scratch.
''Patricia.'' he replied, crying even more.
''I'm sorry.'' she soothed. His head fell onto her shoulder. The tall girl ran her fingers through his blonde hair. Then, he pulled away.
''What's wrong?'' she asked. He crashed his lips onto hers.
''You know, I've fancied you for ages.'' he admitted.
''Same.'' Eddie began crying again.
''I want to be alone for a while. Is that ok?'' Eddie asked, sitting down onto his bed.
''Yeh.'' with that, she left.
Eddie's P.O.V
I told Trudy that I wasn't feeling well. She understood, but that wasn't the real reason I wanted school off. I was going to do something else. I went into the bathroom carrying my self-harm kit. Grabbing the razor, I made a cut on the back of my wrist. The blood trickled down my arm and stained my white top. I couldn't help myself - I had to do more. The red liquid was now all over the floor. Realising I'd gotten carried away, I put a plaster over the wound. I remembered my sister - she was dead. All because of me. Why did I even come back to this school? It would have been better if I stayed with mum in America. Hot, round tears began rolling down my cheeks and on to my top. I cried for what seemed like forever.
Making one final cut on my arm, I then got up. Everything was going blurry. I remembered that this happened last time. I began feeling faint, and my head began pounding in pain. Suddenly, I fell to the ground and everything went black...
Dun dun DUUUN! I was going to introduce the twist quicker, but then I thought that it wouldn't fit. Just when you think everything will be fine and a happily ever after will happen, you will get a shock! It might be coming very soon! Please review, and if you can guess the twist, please say!
