Helloooo my awesome readers! Sorry It's been several days! With school and everything, It's just been crazy! Any who, I'm back, and I'll try to post Sunday and/or Monday. I have a few quick shout outs I want to make..
fanficsrule2019: Thanks for always being the first person to comment on my stories! It means so much and I always love to hear how much you like this story! Keep it up:D
AnubisWishes: I loved your suggestion! I was intending on doing that anyway...hopefully, you will enjoy this chapter. ;)
And to all my other readers, I love, love, love, LOVE hearing from you all! You guys literally make me so happy, every single one of you- I can't even tell you! Here's Chapter 11, enjoy!
Also, I kind of have writers block with what's going on with Nina and Destiny right now, so I just made this chap at Anubis(although, based on reviews, I think you like these ones better anyway- but Olivia is going to end up being really important...just wait and see)
I DO NOT OWN HOUSE OF ANUBIS NEVER HAVE AND I NEVER WILL...SADLY
Being. Dead. Sucks.
Period.
I watched as everyone I loved enjoyed their first day of college.
Everyone dreams about college, and I probably did at one point to. I wonder what I would have done if I had known I'd never live to see the day when I'd actually go...
Right now, I'm following KT and Fabian back to Anubis. I'm listening to them talk about their first day of college.
"I love our teachers, and our classes!" Fabian exclaimed.
KT smiled. "They seem pretty cool. Although, after last year with you-know-who, I'm not going to be too trusting yet."
Fabian smirked. "Yeah...these people don't seem like the type to be involved with anything like that...or the usual...you know.."
KT sighed. "I don't know. Denby didn't seem like that at first, either. We'll just have to keep an eye out."
Denby. Probably just another name I once knew that I could no longer remember...
I silently continued to follow behind my living best friends. How many times had I been with them right now- walking back to the house from school, talking about whatever...
My thoughts were disrupted when I suddenly saw KT fall down. Fabian rushed to help her back to her feet.
"You okay?" he asked her
"Pshh. Yeah, I'm fine." she said
Fabian smiled then looked down. He suddenly looked confused...or maybe intrigued.
"Fabes what's up?" KT asked
That's what I'd like to know too..
Fabian bent down over were KT had just tripped and picked up something triangular, gold and red, with blue and black stripes around its perimeter up from the ground. He examined it closely. I tried to take a look as well, but KT's head was blocking the way.
"What is that?" KT asked.
Fabian turned the object over in his hands a few times.
"I have no idea." He responded
There was a long pause between the 2. I had no clue what was going on.
"I think maybe we should research this. It could be something interesting.." Fabian finally mumbled.
"Alright. Let's go!" KT exclaimed.
She looped her arm through Fabian's, and I continued to follow them back to my old home.
(Willow's P.O.V)
Something fishy is going on. Those men this morning... I have a feeling they were up to something. Something bad. And I mean, really, really bad. I wish I could tell someone I saw them, but I don't want them mad at me. What were those things they were burying? Hmmm...
I may have just accidentally made a wrong turn into the woods. Okay maybe it wasn't an accident. I ran to where I saw the guys this morning. They were gone now. I dropped down to my knees and started digging up the dirt over their man-made pit with my bare hands. I'm getting dirt all over my uniform but I don't care, I can always tell Trudy I fell. It took me about 10 minutes before I could finally see the two thingy-mabobers. I pulled them out of the pit and examined them closely. The first thing was a tall, gold and other colored Egyptian cup thingy. I turned it over in my hands- it was very pretty, despite the dirt covering it. I set it down next to me and looked at the other object. It was a black mask thingy. Weird- I thought when the guys were burying it this morning it was gold?
I wonder what these are. Would those guys notice if I took these? I shoved all the dirt I dug up back over the small pit, and put the mask and cup things into my bag, and began my walk to the house.
(Eddie's P.O.V.)
I floated behind Fabian and KT as they entered the House. Trudy was in the main hallway waiting for them.
"Hello my lovelies! How was your first day of college?" she asked
KT smiled "Good."
"Yeah, it was good. KT and I are actually going to go into town and buy some text books for our classes. Right KT?" he shot her a "Play along" look
KT nodded her head. "Mmmhmm."
"Oh. Alright then. Just be back before dinner." Trudy chimed.
I stood there while Fabian and KT quickly ran into their rooms to change clothes. I wandered into the kitchen. I looked over and saw Patricia sitting on the couch. I sighed and drifted over to her. She was doing something on her phone. I squinted closely at the tiny screen and felt my dead heart drop when I saw what it was.
She was sending an email..
..to me.
Hey babe,
I miss you. Yes weasel I admit it- I miss you...a lot. I want you here, now. Your Dad says your supposed to come back tomorrow, but he can't get a hold of you. Can you call him, or me? I miss you so much. Please don't pull a Nina and just not show up, I don't know how I'd be able to live without you. Just write me back okay? I love you.
-Yacker
"I don't know how I'd be able to live without you..."
The words echoed through my mind. What is she going to do when she finds out that I'm never, ever coming back? And what does she mean by "Don't pull a Nina?"
I sighed. I heard Fabian and KT yell goodbye to Trudy as they headed out the door. I ran after them so they didn't leave me behind.
(Willow's P.O.V.)
I skipped into the house. Fabian and KT ran past me, and into Fabian's car. I wonder where they're going...
I waltzed up the stairs and into my room. Luckily, Joy wasn't there. I threw my bag down on my bed and kicked off my shoes. I lifted under my pillow and pulled my laptop out from underneath. I lifted the lid and pulled the cup and mask out of my bag. I glanced over at the door and realized it wasn't locked. Quickly, I ran over and locked it- Can't let Joy see any of this!
Now, where was I? Oh yeah! I opened up google on my laptop and typed in "Ancient Egyptian Masks." The computer loaded and I selected the "images" button. Several pictures popped up of different masks, and of Ancient Egyptian people and gods wearing masks. I scrolled down until I saw the mask I have. Immediately, I clicked on the picture. "The Mask of Anubis." It read. Anubis...as in Anubis House? What does this mean? I clicked on the picture again, and my laptop took me to another website. The Mask of Anubis was at the top of the page, and there is a bunch of text underneath it. I began to read.
Legend has it that when the mask of Anubis is worn by the high priest of Anubis at any pharaoh's funeral, the mask will weep tears of gold.
Tears of gold? Oooh, Pretty!
Only the pure of heart can wear the mask, unless it's the Chosen One, of course. The website read.
"Huh?" I whispered aloud. I clicked on another link, that took me to a page about "The Chosen One."
"The Chosen One" is of the direct bloodline of the Egyptian god Amneris. The Chosen One is born on a special day, at a special time, every 25 years. This particular Chosen One is the only person who can assemble the "Cup of Ankh..."
There was a picture of the cup I have next to the writing. So, that's what this is! But wait- whose the Chosen One...
Once the cup is assembled, anyone who drinks from it becomes immortal. Except, for the Chosen One, and her Osirion.
What's an Osirion? I clicked on another link...
The Osirion is a direct descendant of the god Osiris. The Osirion's soul purpose of existence is for 2 reasons and 2 reasons only.
1.) To protect the Chosen One. The Osirion would die if it meant keeping his/her Chosen One safe. Ironically, the Chosen One and the Osirion are the polar opposites of each other; personalities, gender, hobbies, etc. But, they are not romantically linked.
2.) To be the lover of the Isisian. You would think, having to be so close to the Chosen One, the Osirion would have to be romantically involved with the Chosen One, right? Wrong. The Osirion is to be with the Isisian, and nobody else, and vice versa. The Isisian is someone who shares similar interests, and hobbies of the Osirian. They may be with other people, but they will always find their way back to each other.
Interesting...
So who are the Chosen One and the Osirion...
I heard a pounding on my door.
"Willow! Open up!" Joy called.
I shut my laptop, and shoved the cup and the mask under my blankets, and scurried over to unlock the door and let Joy in.
"Why'd you have the door locked?" she asked
"Uhh...I was just doing Homework, I didn't want Jerome or Alfie to bother me." I lied
"Oh. Well, I'm going on a date with Jerome, I just came to get my purse. See ya!" she said.
"Bye!" I said, waving to her as she left.
Joy is going to be gone for awhile...sooooo...I can try to figure out all of this Chosen One and Osiron stuff! Alright Willow, let's get to work!
(Eddie's P.O.V.)
Rutter Antiquesthe store sign read.
I stayed behind KT and Fabian as they walked into the store. I took a look around; the entire place was filled with countless Egyptian looking antiques and stuff.
"How come you never told me about this place?" KT asked Fabian
Fabian sighed. "It just...never really came up I guess."
The two walked to the back of the store, where a tannish skinned man with dark brown hair and blackish eyes wearing a tan jacket and pants and blue dress shirt. His face lit up when he saw Fabes and KT.
"Ah, Fabian! It's been awhile!" the guy said as he reached forward to shake Fabian's hand.
Fabian grinned "You too Jasper."
"So, who is this young lady?" Jasper asked
Fabian turned towards KT. "Oh, this is my friend, KT. KT, this is Jasper, my godfather."
"Nice to meet you KT." Jasper exclaimed.
"You too." she said
"So, if I know my godson at all, I know he wouldn't just drop by here without a purpose. What's going on?" Jasper asked whilst he walked around the counter, so he was standing in front of it.
Fabian reached into his jean pocket and pulled out the triangle thingy he and KT had found earlier.
Jasper's eyes grew wide.
Fabian cleared his throat. "KT and I were walking home from the college today and found this, just laying there on the ground. Do you have any idea what it is?"
Jasper gently took the thing out of Fabian's hands and carefully examined it. He held it up into the light above us.
"This looks like a piece of the Crown of Anubis." Jasper whispered
Huh?
KT and Fabian exchanged weird looks.
"What's the Crown of Anubis?" KT asked
"It's a crown...that once belonged to the god Anubis. The purpose of the crown was to excavate the entire Egyptian after life, and release them into the world, where they would take over and rule. Anubis believed only a certain bloodline could wear the crown, and that the wearer of the crown would become king or queen of all of the Egyptian afterlife, and the mortal world. This person...had access to riches beyond your wildest dreams. They would gain power over everything...the world would belong to them, and only them."
Fabian looked morally horrified "Could this person be...Chosen?" he asked
Jasper sighed. "Nina wouldn't know anything about it, Fabian. This person has to be absolutely wicked to wear the crown. He or she must commit the worst of crimes to get ahold of the Crown, anyway. There are 15 of these triangular spikes on the crown, and each one must be filled with 9.5 pints of blood. But these 15 people can't be just anyone...these people have to be decedents of the gods..." Jasper trailed off
KT and Fabian shuddered.
"So...what does the crown look like?" KT asked
"The crown consists of 16 pieces. The 15 triangular spikes/blood viles, like what you two found, and then the base- which is a golden and crimson band that is worn around the head, and the spikes are later added to it. The spikes activate the band, which gives all Egyptian power to the wearer of the Crown."
Fabian gave KT a nervous glance. He started to back up slowly, while tugging KT by the arm.
"Well, um, Thank You Jasper. We'll be going now. I'll tell Trudy you said hi-"
"Fabian..." Jasper began. Then he sighed. "Just be careful...Alright?" he finished.
Fabian flashed a nervous smile. "Alright Jasper, goodbye!" Fabian exclaimed, as he pulled KT out of the shop.
"Nice to meet you KT!" Jasper called after them.
KT turned her head and smiled back at him. "You too!" she chimed.
I quickly glided behind them. I was about to follow them out the door, when it shut right in front of me. Well, I can't exactly move or touch things anymore...wait.
I wonder if...
I closed my eyes and walked straight through the door.
"Awesome!" I yelled
KT and Fabian were walking quickly.
"What are we going to do?" KT asked
"Eddie is coming back tomorrow. We won't mention any of this to the others until then. Tomorrow night, we'll tell Eddie we HAVE to have a Sibuna meeting. We can decided what to do from there." Fabian said hurriedly.
Oh Fabian...
"I have a feeling this is going to be bad." KT groaned.
"You and me both. Let's go by some text books now, so no one suspects anything." Fabian said, letting go of KT's arm.
"Okay. But I don't like keeping secrets from the others." KT said
"Trust me, me neither. But for now, it's what we have to do. For our sake's and for theirs."
And for mine as well, I mentally added. I just hope that this will all end okay, and none of the people I love will end up like Nina and I...
What is UP with this Crown? What's going to happen when Eddie never shows up? Who's the Isisian?(although you probably already know..) Will Willow figure out what happened to Eddie and Nina? Review, and keep reading:D Good night my lovelies!
