If confusion takes over your mind, feel free to ask questions and I'll clarify things. Like I said first try at mystery story.
And this is going to be really confusing, but you need to read it all, even the part about the Black Queen, it will help so much by the end of the chapter.
Chapter Three
Eddie
After my dream about Nina last night on the porch I don't sleep at night. I sit up thinking of some things. Fixing them in Eddie's mind.
One: Nina and me, don't talk, she never asked to be friends.
Two: I have to control the Osirion feelings or I might explode.
Three: Something isn't right, there is an unsettled air around me, my brain screaming curses in a foreign language, or so it seems.
Weird symbols, that my brain translates, but it feels as if its not my brain translating them, because I still don't know what they mean. It was like that night last year, something told me what to do, I guess I didn't get to know what the words where until I needed them.
I don't sleep still. And tomorrow I know will be Hell.
I walk like a zombie around the house in the morning. The last day before classes start. I barely make it to my seat. No one is at the table.
Then Nina walks in, and even with my eyes glazed with sleep she stuns me.
"Morning", she smiles. I return her smile, fading back into my dream before shaking my self away. She walks to the kitchen.
"Morning dear", Trudy says.
"Morning" she repeats for Trudy, "Hey I'm going for a walk, can you tell them if they look for me?", she asks Trudy agrees. I watch Nina go out the front door.
Something about this doesn't feel right, I get up to follow her. I follow far behind and I'm instantly transported to the dream, I hope this doesn't end the same way.
Nina freezes abruptly and speaks.
"Okay you called me here? Who are you? What do you want?", she asks. I hear a voice, feminine but I hear it transparently, if that's possible, the sound is like wind maybe.
"He is here, did you bring him", the voice asks. Nina turns and sets her eyes on me.
"He followed me, I didn't know", she says.
"Very good Osirion. Good extinct", the voice compliments me, "Come forth", it says.
I join Nina in the middle of the clearing. I almost reach for her hand but fight back that, and freeze.
Then as if the voice or ghost reads my dream a white smoke encircles Nina, but only her, she doesn't look scared like the dream. When the White mist tries to encircle me its a hiss and it curls back like it was burned. I reach for Nina's hand now and I take it. She looks startled.
Then just like the dream the black smoke appears encircling me. My hand burns where I touch Nina but I make no move to pull my hand away. I don't feel as if I can, even if I wanted to.
The white mists is where the noise comes from, the female whisper, "Yes, their pull is strong.", she says, "Enough", she says and the white mist, pulls away from Nina.
She gasps as it leaves her, but stares wide eyed at what it is doing. Forming. The white mist forms into a figure. Human and feminine. The woman is wearing white, a long dress as if it where her wedding. And a mask covering her face.
But the dress looks like the mist, not real.
Then the black smoke leaves, and forms to a different figure beside the woman. The smokes fighting each other. Black and White. This figure is a man. Dressed in a black suit as if he were the groom at the wedding, a black mask covering his face.
My hand never leaves Nina's.
"What do you want from us", I demand, glancing at a gaping Nina. The woman speaks.
"It is not us that wants something. It is the Black Queen that does", she says.
"Who's that?", I ask confused.
"You do not know?", asks the man. I shake my head.
"How could he. The boy was not raised correctly", the woman says, "Tell him", she urges.
"The Black Queen was not only queen but half god. She was a ruler for a short bit, known for keeping peace between the wicked and non wicked. The three branches of wicked controlled by Michael of the Arch Angels. A Hebrew warrior control of the slave soldiers on the other side fighting for Jesus", says the man.
"Skip to the part about the orb, we only have so much time", the woman cuts in.
It's weird hearing him talk, something stirs inside me. Knowing this feels like I already did.
" The amethyst orb was located south East of Egypt and its power was the seated of the Black Queen. This orb was capable to shoot down angels. And it did. Now the story goes that the Queen was betrayed by the axis, the power of the orb.", the man speaks, the queen was betrayed, is all I got but I knew the rest was sinking in somewhere deep inside my brain.
"Now the pyramid had on top of it the Amethyst Orb which shot down Angels. This was the beginning of a serious violation by Satan and all of the demons. When the war started the Hebrew warrior with his slave army became so enraged that they blasted tout the Apex of the Pyramid and when this happened the Black Queen got roasted.", finished the man.
I understand this, all of it. The war was started against the shooting down of Angels, the story bubbles to my brain.
"But she wasn't", said the woman, now this is not familiar to any part of me.
"And neither was the orb", adds the man.
"What does that have to do with us?", I ask, knowing it will be something dark.
"The queen wants the orb, you see? The orb not only has the power to take down angels but take away her godliness so she may be at peace. She wants only peace" said the woman, "We are past seekers, we failed and were condemned to be ghost like beings. Waiting until the Queen gets the orb. We need you to find it",she says.
"More like let it find you", the man speaks, "the orb will find you when you become united, it will come and then you lead it to us", the man finishes a wicked smile touching his lips.
"How do we become United?", I ask him, he just shakes his head at me. YOU should know, his look says.
"And if we refuse", I ask testing out my options. A wind engulfs me. Pulling my hand away from Nina's. I hear a voice low and deep, but feminine and the hint of sweetness and hatred. A strange frightening combination that chills me to the bone.
"You will NOT refuse, Osirion, if you do the chosen one will not appreciate the out come", I assume this is the Black Queen. An image was in my mind, one I will never erase.
Nina dressed in white, walking down an aisle as if she was walking down to the love of her life. A smile on her face said it all. Then her mouth opens in a surprised "o", a scream of pure horror engulfs the air, as a beam of light cuts through Nina, the scream stopping has the light disappears and all that is left is an orange glowing orb.
I fall to the ground, dry heaving. I'm back in the clearing, Nina is there and both of the spirits.
The woman laughs, a shrill pitched noise.
"Silly boy. You'll do your best not to upset the queen, she doesn't like it", her tone is mocking, and I look at Nina's scared eyes.
"Alright, alright", I say.
"Very good", the woman says disappearing.
"We'll see you soon.", laughs the man as the last of the smoke clears the clearing.
"That didn't happen", Nina declares walking towards the house. I stay on the ground. Coughing, trying to catch my breath. This was too much like the dream, too too much.
Later At the House
I haven't seen Nina since the clearing. I'm still hoping it didn't happen but it did. This time it did. And it still rocked me to the core. I'm now at the house in the Living Room, waiting for someone to come in here. I take out my lap top and decide to use my one source I trust.
Google. The only problem is that I only find one article. I read it. It just repeats what they told us. The orb is its own thing, it does what it wants. And it has the power to change spirits to mortals.
"Hey Eddie", Nina says sitting down.
"Hey about the clearing today. Have you thought about it?", I ask her. She laughs as if I've told her the funniest thing.
"You had that dream too? So weird right? Not like we have any worries it was just a dream", she laughs.
"No Nina it wasn't", I try to convince her confused.
"Yes it was", she smiles, an insane smile. I want to let her know the truth, I do. I try.
"Nina that happened", I convince her. She just shakes her head.
"Eddie, it was just a dream", she says, and she walks away. Nina. Her not believing me, is not a good sign.
Suddenly my mind takes over and I see the vision again. Nina walking down the aisle, then the light shining through her.
I scream on the inside, NO, this cannot be happening. My life slipping through my fingers in more ways then one.
