And fans of What are You Doing Here? That will be updated tommorow, and every other day after that.
Anon: Yes this is a Neddie Story!
Chapter Two:
Eddie
Its Nina, of course. Only she can stun me like that. But its not her normal appearance thats so striking, its now the Osirion kicks in. I wonder if it will be like this every time I see her. Wonder-struck at her natural beauty. Her eyes, are what gets me. A weird hazel color that changes as I look at them, almost melting into gold, then to brown then back. I quickly look away.
But that just leaves my eyes wondering down Amber's choice of "Spicing up Nina's wardrobe". No, its not even a hint of provocative, but it suits her. A tight purple shirt well it might be a shirt, but it cuts away. Barely looking like a scrap of fabric, covering her exposed skin is thick lace, in a lilac color. All of this she has matched with a mid-length skirt, and Nina' hair natural.
"Yeah I know its ridiculous", she laughs, smirking a little. An inviting smirk, almost asking me to kiss her lips, and her neck and even nibble at her ear, NO! That smirk is just a smirk, a joke, mocking me asking for a response. I work up a fake laugh.
"Yeah, I don't know though, with that on Fabian may not be able to keep his hands off of you", I joke. Trying to Be Eddie again- not the Osirion. ' I don't know about that, he's not to happy, I was gonna go and try to talk to him, hows Patricia?", she asks. I never noticed how nice she really is, and this is Eddie thinking this, not the Osirion in me. And Eddie should be the only one in my head.
"Single, but we're okay, Oh and Nina, be careful with Fabian", I say before turning away, and going back downstairs.
I realize now it will be a battle. In my self. Between Eddie's feelings for Nina and the Osirions feelings for the Chosen One. Could they be that different, how far did destiny go? Could I love Nina, and more importantly could she love me? No. She couldn't, and I wouldn't. We would not happen.
It was later at dinner that day that I saw her again. We were all crowded around the table, and I decided it was time to evaluate some things. I looked at her, she had brushed her hair so it went back to normal, and she had changed to something more her. Not that I opposed to the purple top, and it almost fit her personality as well as it fit her body.
"So I was reading online", Amber begins before Jerome cut in.
"You were reading?",he says mocking shock. I laugh along with everybody else, at the look of disappointment on her face.
"Anyway I was reading, that was about energy levels", she continues.
"Skip to the point, Amber", Patricia said annoyed.
"Well, I think I can see auras!", Amber exclaimed, happily.
"Amber is this like two years ago when you were into Numerology?", Jerome asks. She shakes her head.
"No, because anybody can do that. I can see people auras. But I see like only two peoples. Which means everyone else lacks personality", she says.
"Go on with is or are the two people with personality?", Joy asks, you can see the slight interest in her eyes.
"Eddie and Nina", she says with a smile, as I choke on my food.
"Okay Amber what colors are we?", Nina asks, playing a long but I can see the disinterest in her eyes.
"Well Nina, you have this white aura, showing pure untouched. It reflects other energy. Angelic almost. This aura is rare for older people, who lose innocence. White keeps off evil spirits, as long as you stay pure. ", she says.
Makes since, but Ying and Yang? So if her aura's white that makes mine...
"And Eddie's is black", Amber says. Makes since, but what does it mean?
"And that means?", I ask my question aloud.
"Stay away!", Alfie demands, standing up his fingers in a cross, "This is bad, he's being taken by the devil! Stay away monster!", Alfie yells, as Jerome laughs. Both recieving a glare from Amber.
"No, it doesn't. It draws or pulls energy to it and in so doing, transforms captures light and consumes it. But you also have a dark grey, there's a block in you mind. And almost an un forgiveness for something, something you don't plan to get over", she says. Makes since again.
For a moment I believe this, that Amber can see auras. But its Amber and her next statement proves that.
"Maybe you two are ghosts", she exclaims. Receiving many laughs from the table.
"Yeah Amber, I'm sure they are", Patricia laughs, trying to stick a hand threw Nina's head jokingly. Nina laughs and shoves Patricia's hand away.
"Boo!", Nina turns to Alfie, who is across the table from her. He yelps, jokingly again.
"Fine, Fine. But something fishy is going on", she proclaims.
"Well, me and Joy are going for a walk", Mick says taking her hand, smiling. Once again I am awed at their passion and love.
"Convient, excuse", Jerome says, "Now what's ours Mara?", he asks turning. She laughs.
"Were going to study", Mara says.
"Lame, classes haven't even started yet", Jerome jokes standing up.
"I never said what we were studying", Mara winks with this, and Jerome grabs her hand.
"See you later guys", he says quickly as they go.
"I guess we know why Mara's energy isn't white", Patricia threw out. Nina laughed.
"Let's be logical, I mean Osirion? Paragon?", I throw at gesturing to the pair of us.
"Makes since", Nina shrugs.
"See?", Amber asks the non-believers.
"No we don't", Fabian says, he seems more relaxed, I guess they already talked it through. I don't wish that to be true, wait ,wait, wait, Yeah they need to work. Stupid brain. Stupid Osirion, stupid Eddie, stupid gods, stupid Nina. I hate this.
"It's not like it matters", I add, shrugging, before getting up to leave. I'm tired of conflicting emotions. I shouldn't feel like this. I shouldn't have to feel torn, between what I was and what the gods are telling me to do.
I shouldn't want to love somebody, I don't. The pure agony of it all, I don't have a choice. There is no choice for me. I know I'll have to stay around Nina until she or I die, because I have to protect her. I may not want to but in the end I feel it will be better for all of us.
I walk outside Anubis. Feeling the cool fresh air against my exposed arms, and relaxing slightly.
Before I reach inside my pocket and pull out cigarettes. A nasty habit I started back in American over break. When I was tired of thinking of Nina being in trouble. I find it work less than drinking, but I don't like to drink, so I switched to cigarettes. Probably killing my mother. But it relaxes me.
I light one, and place the tip in my mouth, enjoying the sweet calmness of nicotine. Before letting out a puff of smoke sighing looking at it. I don't like being hooked to something, I don't like the fact I have no free will. But then again after finding out I was the Osirion I never did, or will again. So now I just serve a second master, nicotine.
"That's a nasty habit", says a voice behind me, a soft sweet voice. I know it does not belong to Patricia. I look back at the cigarette.
"I know", I say turning to look at Nina. She looks scared standing there.
"Then why do it", She asks, I turn to her. Innocence spilling over her expression. I snap, like a twig.
"Why sign my life away to some Egyptian god?", I throw back at her, "At least this one has some benefit", I tell her, not liking the look on her face as the words toppled out of my mouth.
"Yeah, I don't like it either", she says, "I thought I did. But then Joy last year.", she says her words somewhere distant like she didn't think it was her saying them.
She sits down beside me.
"Does it help?", she asks. I look at her with confusion taking another puff.
"Does what help?", I ask her.
"Smoking, does it help with losing your choices", she asks, gesturing to the cigarette.
"I guess", I say with a shrug. Before I know it, the cigarette is lifted from my fingers, and she raises it to her lips, taking in a puff and releasing smoke.
She breaks into a fit off coughing, I take the cigarette and throw it on the ground stomping it out. As I look at her, still coughing. Your going to kill her,my insides scream at me. She stops coughing and looks at me with watery eyes.
"And that helps you?", she asks laughing finally I laugh with her.
"It takes some getting used to", I say between laughing and lighting another cigarette.
"Is this a reason you and Patricia split?", she asks me. I hold the new cigarette in my hand figuring an idea.
I move the cigarette as if I'm gesturing at her, up and down. I know I'm talking about her, hopefully she thinks I'm talking about the cigarette. Not a complete lie. But it works.
"This was one of the reasons", I say with a shrug. She looks at me weirdly for a minute. I can't read her expression.
Once again I realize how nice she is. I mean she's out here with me talking.
"I feel torn", she says, and I look at her confused now, was she reading my emotions. I don't feel as if I need to say something so I listen.
"I feel this pride in Egyptian stuff, and I want to help people, and the gods. But I don't want to. You know? Never knowing when something might come up, or some one might attack you. There's only so much you can do. I love Fabian right? And now it just feels wrong when I'm with him", she says looking at me with sad puppy eyes. I yearn to comfort her. Eddie yearns to comfort Nina, just not in the same way the Osirion does.
"How did you just capture everything I'm feeling into words?", I ask her, receiving a curious look, "Leaving out the part of Fabian of course", I add. Receiving a laugh, a small laugh.
Then I feel it, the Egyptian gods taking over. And I place a hand on her shoulder comforting her, and there is a change in the air. I know she feels it because she looks at me. I place a finger under her chin gently urging her to see this isn't my choice. She looks up at me through her lashes, and damn if it isn't the sexiest thing I have ever seen.
I feel myself moving, but my minds far off. I'm not here, this is not me. But I want it to be. I catch her scent a sweet strawberry, not flowery or thick cakey vanilla. A clean strawberry as if it had been washed in the rain. A weird contrasting mix that makes me high, a new nicotine.
Addictive. I think taking in her scent. I hold my breath moving into her, our lips enough a part that it looks innocent, not close to kissing. But I catch her eye lids shut, and I have no choice but to move closer. Please, I knew this would happen eventually.
I have enough time to take in another sweet puff of Strawberry before our lips our inches apart, feeling her breath tickle at my lips. I wonder if she'll taste of Strawberry's too. We meet in the middle with a tender kiss. Lips to lips softly, tender. Nothing like I've kissed before.
She pulls back instantly and looks out into the trees across from Anubis.
"Did you hear that?", she asks. I look out there.
"No", I reply looking for something there. She takes off towards the woods.
"Nina!", I yell chasing after her, the sun is setting and its getting dark I fear I will lose her. I chase after her.
The trees whorl passed us. I look for that flowing hair. I run until I'm tired, passed tired. I can't breath any more. Nina stops abruptly, and I look why.
"Eddie", she says in terror. More of a shreak.
"Nina", I say walking towards her.
"What's going on?", she asks. I have enough time to see her swallowed by a white cloud, before she disappears with the cloud.
"No, no no", I say before I notice a black cloud around me. I fall to my knees collapsing trying to catch a breath, but nothing will come, no oxygen I fall to the ground, as the world fades black.
I wake with a start. Catching my breath after shooting straight up. I was on the porch a cigarette still in my hand. It was a dream? I thanks God or Gods? Anyway, that it was a dream, well something inside me gnaws on the fact that I wanted to kiss Nina. I want to kiss Nina.
But All I see is her getting hurt in the end, no matter what I do, pain is all I'll cause.
In the Clearing
"What were you thinking?", demands the man in black appearing suddenly and in a burst. The woman in white smiles.
"We have to call them here somehow, I was just testing a theory", she smiles.
"In a mortals dream? You know how dangerous that can be, what if had woken up before you left him?", the man demands, anger flashing through his visible eyes.
"Then he would of been locked in his dream", the woman says coming to terms of the full outcome of him not waking up.
"And then we would have no bodies to take now would we", the man asks, anger cooling, the woman laughs now.
"Calm my love, it worked", she smiles a calming smile and the man relaxes further.
"We only have two weeks to the get the orb and the Chosen One and Osirion before the shadow comes back", he sighs saying this.
"It will all work out my dear, I assure you", the woman comforts her lover with a hand resting upon his cheek. As close as they can get, but no contact is made.
"I know", he says without actual touch he attempts at brushing hair from the woman's face, sighing once more.
"Your light is fading", he whispers, studying the fog surrounding the woman, it was lessening by the day.
"It will all work out my dear, I assure you", she says repeating her previous words.
"I can only hope", the man says as the figures disappear once more.
Thanks for reviewing and I hope you liked it.
