So I fell off the face of the earth or my laptop did. It crashed well the motherboard did, so it is now being shipped around the country trying to get fixed, wish it luck on his majical adventure.

My enthuisasim is dying since someone stole the cover shot for this story, so some support for this story to keep it going might be nice, and if I get done this story will be put on the back burner, but will be finished.

And make sure you check out the cover picture, which is also my profile picture right now.

This Chapter is short, and if my laptop crashing isn t explanation enough for you, read the bottom where I share my sad story of the week. And grammar is awful forgive me, the computer I"m currently using is not uploading correctly.

Chapter Four

Eddie (tired of him yet?)

I decide quickly what I need to do though. To become United whatever that means, she'll have to trust me. And for that. I need some insight on Nina, I go to the only person who cares about her as much as the Osirian does.

I head to my room. And find Fabian reading a book. Egyptian mythology ironically. "Hey", I say, questioningly, asking him if I can talk.
"What is it?", he asks, placing down his book.
"I have a question...about Nina", I say.
"I'm not going to help you get her.", he states. I shake my head.
"This thing happened and well, she doesn't believe it does. And we only have so much time to help out this queen thingy", I say, realizing how stupid I sound.
"Start from the beginning he says", I sigh and get into my tale.

I tell him about the dream, leaving out the part about the kiss, then telling him about the figures, and the queens history, the orb, what we need to find, and then about Nina choosing to remember it has a dream.

He sighs as I finish.

"I need her to trust me. So whatever being United is, I can get whether she'd know what was going on or not", I say, he laughs.
"Nina has to know what's going on, or she won't trust you", he says, "But I have heard of the orb. I'll help you research some things, on becoming Untied", he finishes.

"How do I get Nina to trust me?", I ask him.
"You don't just get her to trust you. She only trusts people she cares about. She'll have to care about you to trust you. Just talk to her, get to know her. Do not mention the dream, or anything. And eventually if the prophecy about you two is right, you'll both be in love. and maybe then being United will just happen.", he says but his last sentence is dead sounding and I feel bad, but there isn't anything I can do.

"I'll help you with the mystery part, becoming United, I'll give you info when I find it", he says, I leave the room giving him time to think.

Last night is still draining me, I've had no sleep but that comes later, I guess.

I go to find Nina.

"Hey", I say finding her in the living room with Amber.
"Nina, can I apologize for my silly theory.", I ask. She smiles and nods.
"Yes", she smiles still.
"So I was wondering if you might want to hang out sometime. We're linked in history we might as well be friends, right?", I laugh pretending to be joking.
"Sure, what would you want to do?", she asks.
"I haven't thought of it yet, but we could start with taking a walk, talking maybe?", I ask.
She looks at Amber who nods telling her to go.

We walk out of the house. I keep a safe distance from her, pushing my Osirion feelings back, and letting Eddie shine through.
"So tell me about your family?", I ask her she laughs a little.
"My family?", she says, I nod.
"Gotta start somewhere right?", I ask.
"My parents died when I was younger. My Gran brought me up. She's the only family I have left. Last year Senkhara got to her. She almost died.", she tells me. Eyes straight ahead, "What about you? I know you dad, tell me about your mom?", she asks, making me sigh.
"I was an ass hole to my mom. When I go to much to handle she sent me here. Dad explained to her what was wrong over the summer. I couldn't be me, until I was the Osirion. And now that I am, I'm never me", I sigh sounding stupid.
"I get it you know? I felt drawn to this place, this school. I couldn't relax until I had the necklace in my hands", she tells me.
"What necklace?", I ask. She pulls out the chain. And my hand reaches towards it, not thinking. It lights as I do this. My hand touches it for a minute before I pul back my hand, in pain.

"What was that?", I ask annoyed looking at my hand, freezing when I see words there.

"Opposites May Attract, but the Opposite may not Touch", Nina reads holding my hand to get a better look at the words.
"So I can't touch the necklace?", I ask. She nods. "Guess not", she says looking weirdly at my hand.
"What is it? , I ask her and she drops my hand with a gasp.
Nothing , she says, I take her arm, and make her look at me.
Nina you need to trust me , I tell her.
I'm going crazy , she tells me with a sigh, When I grabbed your hand this black mist appeared all around it, and the eye appeared on your hand, and it wi-winked at me" , she shares sighing.
"Nina, your not crazy this house, our history is pulling some crazy shit, let s just deal with it" , I tell her. She nods, and smiles shyly.
I" had a weirder dream about you the other night ", she tells me, with a teasing smirk, she's back. She begins walking again.
"Do tell" , I say, she giggles and looks down.
"Its kind of kinky" , she laughs, and I'm in a daze.
"Well you tie me up" , and she breaks off, nervously, her eyes not hiding the small gleam, and I'm in a trance.

Then she breaks out laughing.
"I'm kidding Eddie" , she chokes out between laughs, and with her light laughing I can t help but laugh too. And then we both just laughing, for no reason, and soon we re on the ground in a fit of laughter.
Yeah I could get used to this Nina, she's happier.

In the Clearing

The man paced, and he woman sighed continously. We re awful, they re falling for each other , the woman says.
Yes, but we re already in love , the man states.
They re not getting any closer , she states.
I think its time the shadow did his job, poor poor chosen one. I wonder what he ll do to her. , the man says venom filling his tone.

He begins to chant, dark evil words. Said by the worst of the worst. The man was summoning something, something great and powerful, but something also so dangerous and deadly.

He won t kill her , the woman asks, interrupting the chant. But by now it was too late, blackness gloomed over the clearing, and screams where heard, of the victims of the Shadow.
No promises , said the man, as the begging for mercy began. The shadow is just coming to get our friends in gear, if he does is job too well,we can use the blonde. She s a seer you know. , the man finishes and disapears.

The woman stays, being light she can t hear a thing, and the beast stays far away from anywhere her light touches. The woman would save the chosen one, is she even had a chance.

So as you now me and my boyfriend have had fights and all that, but that s what couples do. But the idiot has decided to forgo college. And however idiotic or patriotic he is (you choose I choose both) has decided to join the Marines. A ship out date set for later this year I know its great and all, but I can t help but worry for him, so I m not letting him out of my sight until he has to leave for training, which is in two weeks. :(
