Patricia's POV
"W-what do you mean it wasn't you?" Nina stuttered. Chi's expression was now emotionless.
"I mean it wasn't me it must have been-" Chi cut of mid-sentence, eyes widening.
"Must have been who?!" Nina asked desperately. But she didn't get an answer. Chi clutched her chest and bit her lip, looking down.
"Are you okay?" Eddie asked. Chi didn't answer; instead she groaned slightly and dropped to her knees still clutching her chest. Eddie and Nicholas immediately went to her side.
"Chi what's up?" Nicholas asked putting his hand on her back.
"I'm fine" she choked. She groaned again a tear escaping her eye. She tried getting up but only resulted into falling flat on the ground. Everyone immediately crowded around her.
"Come Chi what's wrong?You're scaring me!" Eddie raised his voice frustrated. She didn't move, she didn't answer, she simply laid on the ground clutching her chest and groaning in pain.
"Can she move?!" Nina asked.
"It...hurts" Chi choked. Her voice was strained.
"What hurts?! What's wrong with her?!" Eddie yelled at Nicholas.
"I don't know!" Nicholas yelled back frustrated "This has never happened before!"
"Hurts...to move a-and to...speak" she choked. Suddenly she cried out in pain.
"Okay okay! Don't speak! Maybe we should get Trudy!" Eddie suggested.
"No. I-I'm f-fine" she answered only to cry out in pain again.
"You're obviously not! Don't panic just breathe okay" Eddie soothed. I watched as the scene turned into something more serious.
"Can' " she whispered her eyelids drooping. Nicholas froze.
"No no no no NO! This can't be happening please tell me you're joking!" He repeated. She didn't answer.
"Chiamaka Miller, you better not leave me! We need you!" Eddie screamed shaking her.
"Read. B-Between the lines" her words were barely a breath but we heard them.
"Chi? Chi wake up!" Nicholas shook her frantically. Sibuna bowed their heads.
"She's gone" Eddie whispered, in disbelief.
"She can't be" Nicholas whispered burying his head in his hands. Suddenly the lights flickered as a strong gust of wind whirled around the room. It was as if we were in a tornado.
"What's happening?!" Nina screamed, holding on to the wall.
"I don't know!" Eddie screamed back. With all the commotion, no one seemed to notice that Chi was floating in the air, her eyes and shoulders glowing red.
"Guys! Look!" I shouted, pointing to the glowing girl.
"Oh my god" I heard someone yell.
"Alfie! I-I'm scared!" Amber whimpered cuddling up to him.
"What's happening?!" Another person yelled. Soon we were all screaming and shouting.
"SILENCE!" A strong male voice roared. We were all silent as we followed the voice to its speaker. We were surprised as we matched the speaker to the glowing girl that hovered above us.
It was Chi. Well at least it looked like her because it certainly didn't sound like her.
"Ch-Chi?" Nicholas asked lamely. 'Chi' laughed evilly.
"Son of the former Osirian, yet so pathetic. Chi isn't here anymore" The voice taunted.
"What did you do to her!" Eddie growled stepping forward.
"Ahh the new Osirian, you look weak" Eddie grimaced.
"You haven't answered my question" He snapped.
"She is safe…for now" 'Chi' said smiling deviously.
"Give us our friend back!" Nina stepped in bravely.
"All in good time Chosen one" 'Chi' said nonchalantly "All you have to do is finish the next task and the wise one shall be returned to you"
'Chi' and Nina had a short stare down because Nina spoke up.
"Fine" she agreed.
"Excellent" 'Chi' said, smiling devilishly. The wind died down and the light returned to the normal brightness.
"Okay guys let's go, we can work something out" Fabian said guiding everyone to the door.
"Did it ever occur to you that leaving a glowing supernatural creature alone might be bad?" I spoke up raising my eyebrow at them.
"True, someone should stay here" Fabian announced.
"I will" Nicholas offered.
"Okay then. Let's go" Nina said.
"Don't die" Eddie said patting him on the back and walking out the door. I followed the rest of Sibuna to the cellar.
We've been in Frobisher's study for ages and we haven't gotten anything.
"This is pointless! What are we supposed to get from a freaking dartboard!" I said frustrated.
"Actually it's a target board" Fabian corrected. I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever Mr. Know it all" I glared at him "My point is, all there is, is a bunch of lines we'll be dead before we find something" I huffed.
"That's it!" Nina exclaimed. I grimaced.
"Hey I know I'm not the nicest person in the world but-"
"No not, that's not what I meant! Chi said read between the lines right?" There was a moment of silence, until Fabian gasped.
"Of course! Read between the lines! As in the lines on the target board!" He stood up walking towards where the target board hung Sibuna following behind him.
He carefully studied the board, nodding to himself.
"Well?!" Eddie asked impatiently.
"There are hieroglyphics" Fabian said.
"Can you read it?" I asked.
"I can try" He answered. He pulled a book out of his pocket.
"He walks around with that? That' so geeky" Alfie snickered, only to be smacked on the head by Amber.
"Shh Alfie, he's concentrating!" Amber scolded.
"I've got it!" Fabian announced.
"What does it say?" Nina asked.
"It says…Open for I am worthy" As soon as Fabian spoke the wall slid open.
"Yes! Fabian you did it!" Nina cheered kissing Fabian on the cheek.
"Fabina!" Amber squealed clapping her hands excitedly. Fabian and Nina blushed furiously.
"Alright love birds how about we look at what was behind that wall?" I suggested cheekily. They nodded and looked towards where the wall once was. There were 3 tunnels leading to god knows where.
"We should probably do this later" Fabian said clearing his throat.
"Yeah don't forget we have a friend to save" I said. Eddie gave me a look.
"Friend?" he asked. I nodded smiling. As we left Frobisher's study, we heard a crash from upstairs. We immediately ran to Chi's room. As we opened the door, we saw that Chi was definitely wasn't floating anymore but she wasn't herself either. She has Nicholas pinned up on the wall.
"Chi what are you doing?" Eddie shouted putting his crutches down and stepping forward. 'Chi' turned her head towards him, revealing her red eyes.
"Never trust evil Osirian" 'Chi' said laughing evilly. She turned her head towards Nicholas pushed him on the wall harder.
"As for you, you must die!" Nicholas closed his eyes bracing himself. Then the unthinkable happened.
Chi backed away leaving Nicholas to fall on the ground. Her muscles strained as she dropped to her knees.
"NOOO!" she yelled rising into the air. While floating in the air her eyes turned from red to gold. She fell to the ground slowly, landing on the floor in a crossed legged meditating position. We watched in awe as her golden eyes faded back to her normal dark brown iris'.
We all started running towards her but she put her hand up.
"Don't come any closer" she instructed. She slowly stood up, slightly unbalanced. Once she was on her feet she walked towards the middle of the room.
"You lot have 10 seconds to tell me who you are and what I'm doing here" she warned standing in a defensive stance.
"What the-" Eddie started.
"Nine" Chi corrected.
"Okay well, we're you're friends and you're here because this is your room…do you not remember?" Nina asked. Chi looked in Nina's direction, she frowned.
"Oh! Sorry guys I just…can't really see right now" she admitted, walking towards her bed, feeling the space around her before sitting down. Eddie and Nicholas sat beside her, I sat beside Eddie while the rest of Sibuna sat on the other bed.
"So you can't see? Like at all?" I asked. She shut her eyes tight then opened them.
"Yep, it's completely dark" she answered. Alfie kneeled down in front of her and waved his hand in her face. She grimaced, grabbing his hand.
"Don't do that, it's frustrating" she said releasing his hands from her grip.
"Cool, she has ninja senses!" he gasped.
"Moving on…what happened out there?" Nina asked.
"I'll tell you what happened, Mekth's descendant is getting stronger and you and Eddie are getting weaker. Now that you know I'm the wise one, it's time for you to live up to your destiny" She said.
School is INSANE so it took me a while to write this chapter. I am so sorry about the wait I'm really trying to find time but it's really not working sorry! I just hope this chapter was decent. Chi x
