Hey guys so I'm glad you liked the last chapter, shout outs at the end! Enjoy! Chi x
Patricia's POV
"Trudy, would you mind calling the rest of the Anubis residents please?" Mr Sweet asked politely
"Of course" Trudy answered leaving the room. Then the room was filled with a buzz of conversation.
"What do you think the announcement is?" "What has Chi got to do with this?" "Are we in trouble?" I heard a few people whisper to each other.
"What do you think he's going to say?" I asked Eddie. He shrugged.
"I have no idea, he didn't mention anything about an announcement when I last talked to him" He frowned, confused.
"Okay…wait why would he tell you-" I started but Mr Sweet started speaking before I could finish, for some reason Eddie seemed relieved about that.
"Now that you are all here, I have an announcement to make" He announced, pausing to make sure we were all listening.
"As some of you may know, it has been at least four years since this house travelled abroad for a trip, therefore I have decided that Anubis house will go to America for three weeks" He declared. Gasps filled the air but were soon replaced by cheering, even Sibuna. I felt Eddie tense up slightly beside me so I reached out my hand and entangled it with his.
"America! The world of food!" Alfie and Jerome exclaimed, exchanging a high five.
"And technology!" Fabian added excitedly.
"And Youtubers!" Chi and joy said dreamily. Everyone stopped and looked at Chi in surprise, even if they didn't know her well, she didn't seem like the type.
"What? I like Youtubers" She defended.
"Where exactly are we going? Will I need a bikini, because I really want to go bikini shopping?" Amber asked eagerly.
Well I have a feeling I know the answer to that question, with our luck we would be going to Miami, which would be good for me seeing as I basically wished I could go back this morning. However it wouldn't be good for Eddie, it was hard enough for him to leave and now he has to go back, that's not fair and I knew Eddie is thinking the same thing.
"Miami" Mr Sweet said sneaking a glance at Eddie, who was frozen. I squeezed his hand for comfort and fortunately he squeezed back, I least I know he's okay.
"Yes! Bikini shopping it is!" Amber squealed
"Wait this I too good to be true, don't we have to pay for accommodation? The flight? What about our parents, do they know?" Mara asked, which wasn't surprising seeing how practical she is.
"In terms of finance the school will be paying for the flight and another other things you might need, as for accommodation, Chiamaka has offered to let us borrow her grandfather's house he left for her. Your parents have been notified and permission has been granted, there is nothing to worry about" Mr Sweet informed us.
By this point Eddie was glaring at Chi a look of disapproval evident in his expression. So that's what she had to do with this. Was this her idea? Why would she suggest this when she knows Eddie's just moved here? I frowned, all of these questions piling up in my head.
"When do we leave?" Fabian asked.
"Next week, early Monday morning" Which made everyone groan " Victor will give you the rest of the details, for the rest of this week you are off timetable to pack your belongings" That was probably the best news yet, no more school! The room was then filled with a happy vibe and light cheering.
"That is all, if you have any questions I'm sure Victor will be able to answer them for you" Mr Sweet concluded. As he left, I turned to Eddie.
"Are you okay?" I asked cautiously. He didn't answer at first, he just stared straight ahead. Did he even hear me? I followed his gaze to where Chi was standing, she was looking right back at him…as if they were having a silent conversation. He then turned to me and smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.
"Yeah" so he did hear me "I just gotta do something first, be right back" He said kissing me on the cheek, before running off. I watched him as he disappeared through the doors. What is he up to?
Eddie's POV
I ran out of Anubis house and saw my father in a distance.
"Dad!" I called out to him. He turned around and smiled, I almost smiled back before I remembered why I wanted to talk to him in the first place.
"Hello Eddie, how are you?" He asked, obviously trying to distract me.
"I'm fine but that's not the point, why are you organising a trip to America, especially Miami of all places!" I almost yelled. His smiled fell slightly as he answered.
"Don't you miss Miami?"
"Oh I see, so this is a way of getting rid of me" I laughed bitterly "I should have known" I muttered turning away.
"Eddie" My father's stern voice called, causing me to turn around. His expression was not remotely gentle, it was serious.
"I told you leaving you was the biggest mistake of my life, I will never do it again, do you understand that?" he said sternly. I nodded.
"Edison I know who you are, I know what you're looking for and why you're looking for it"
"I d-don't know what you're talking about" I stuttered. He smiled.
"Don't fret Osirian, I know everything including that you can save Edward" He said, guilt swimming in his eyes.
"H-How do you know that?"
"I'm more involved in this than you know, but that's not important right now, all you need to know is that I'm sending you to Miami because you need to go there in order to save your brother, Chiamaka will tell you the rest okay?"
"Okay" I agreed, calming down a bit. "What about the crowns? We haven't got them yet"
"Well then you need to get them and take them to Miami with you" He said.
"Okay" I nodded, absorbing every instruction "Thanks dad" I said smiling. He nodded.
"Good luck, you'll be fine" He promised softly. I looked at him before nodding and walking back. On the way there I had a vision.
I was in a big field, it was full of green grass and as I looked up I saw the sun and I felt the warmth on my face. But when I looked back to the field it was different…very different. The grass wasn't green anymore…it was black and was covered with dead bodies. The dead bodies of my friends. I gasped and walked along, seeing the faces of my friends beaten and battered. Then I saw her, my girlfriend, she even looked beautiful on her death bed. I kneeled down to touch her cheek. What have I done?
"There will be a great battle Osirian" a menacing but calm voice told me "but unlike your ancestors it will not be just between the chosen one's and the evil one" I listened to the voice as I looked up to the sky which was blood red and the sun which was apparently non-existent.
"For the evil one is building an army against you" I stood up and continued to walk around the field…I caught sight of another dead body in a distance and as I walked closer the face became clearer.
"Therefore if you do not prepare Osirian" The voice continued. I stood over the body and my eyes widened as I realised who it was.
"You will face death" It was me.
I gasped as I snapped back into reality.
"Oh Eddie you're awake!" Someone exclaimed wrapping their arms round me. I became aware of my surroundings, I was in my room.
"What happened?" I asked, feeling a bit dizzy. The person pulled away and looked at me, I smiled, Patricia.
"I went looking for you and I saw that you'd fainted so I got Jerome and Alfie to help me bring you home" She explained.
"I fainted?"
"Yeah…which is funny because Nina fainted too" she mused.
"You look cute when you're thinking yacker" she rolled her eyes, trying to hide her blush. Then I remembered my vision.
"We need to call a Sibuna meeting, midnight in my room, spread the word and that includes Chi by the way" I instructed. She nodded.
Sibuna sat in mine and Fabian's room looking as if they could fall asleep.
"So why are we here again?" Amber asked.
"I had a vision, I was in a field with black grass and-"
"You had that vision too?" Nina asked, obviously surprised. I nodded.
"A voice was talking to me, and it was telling me that there's going to be a…great battle and the evil one is building an army against us" I tried to explain.
"It said that our situation is rare because even our ancestors didn't experience it" Nina added monotonously "and that if we failed, we'd…die"
"So basically we're screwed" Alfie said.
"No we are not screwed Alfie" Nina said rolling her eyes
"Yeah, I'm sure as soon as we get the Crowns Nina and Eddie will be powerful enough to face the evil one and his army" Fabian said.
"I'm afraid not" a voice spoke, we all looked at Chi "The evil one is getting stronger as we speak, Nina and Eddie will only have enough power to defeat the evil one, not his army."
"I told you" Alfie muttered
"I'm too pretty to die!" Amber whined.
"No one's going to die, why don't we help defeat this army? I mean it gives Eddie and Nina less work" Patricia said determined.
"I don't see why not" Fabian agreed.
"No!" Nina and I said a bit too loud.
"It's too dangerous" I said sickened by the very thought of my girlfriend fighting an army of evil demons.
"Actually, we have to…that's why we're going to Miami" Chi said. I frowned.
"Explain" I ordered impatiently. She rolled her eyes at my tone but explained nevertheless.
"I had a similar vision to Eddie and Nina; except I saw the army…it was an army of mortals…a lot of them. I knew Eddie and Nina wouldn't be able to beat the evil one and the army so figured Sibuna could-" I couldn't bear to hear more of her explanation.
"No way" I growled "What if they go out there and realise they don't know what they're doing? You'll get them killed!"
"If you let me finish I would have told you they will know what they're doing because I'm going to teach them" she snapped at me. I kept quiet, allowing her to continue "Miami is where the agency's base is so I made an arrangement with Mr Sweet and here we are."
"So we're going to Miami to train for a battle?" Alfie asked.
"Yeah, pretty much" Chi answered simply.
"Yes!" He almost yelled making Amber shush him. I narrowed my eyes at Chi. That's not the only reason. I thought hoping this supernatural connection would allow her to hear it. She nodded.
You're right, in order to save Edward you must go to the place where his soul was first taken I heard her voice say.
Why didn't you just say that in front of Sibuna? I thought. She gave me a sympathetic smile.
I didn't really know if you wanted them to know about Edward, Do you? I shook my head slightly, hoping she would get the message.
"So what do we do now?" Amber asked.
"We have to get the crowns by the end of this week...Sibuna?" I answered putting my right hand over my hand.
"Sibuna"
