Drumming Song

Patricia didn't know what to expect of the new student.

She imagined a boring teenager, just like everybody else in the school. Anubis house didn't count; the house was designed to handle supernatural creatures… which everybody was.

(Take Patricia for example, she's a mermaid, though most call her a Water Nymph.)

Though, if the new boy was coming to Anubis house, he must be a supernatural creature he'd be sent to a different house. Nobody that ever came to Anubis didn't have powers or inherited a tail or horns from their ancestors.

When Eddie finally arrived, she felt drumming beating in her head that could send her to the ground. But she only bit her lip and watched him saunter down the hallway, winking at girls. She ignored the beating at once and decided, Eddie was just another stupid boy from across the pond.


Patricia continued to hear the drumming beating in her head.

Eddie and Patricia gained a unique relationship. They'd have a "discussion", that was really both throwing nicknames and insults at each side. Though one time, when Eddie had saved her from running into a moving car, she fainted from the furious beating in her head.

"You should hear it." Patricia blurted out to him.

"I can't. I don't know what it is." Eddie told her frustrated.


Patricia ran to nearest tower, where the school held the church-like bells. The ringing didn't bother her; it just left ringing in her ears. But nothing could stop the beating that consumed her almost every day.

It happened every time she was near Eddie; she'd take three steps and faint whispers of drums beated against her ears. If she touched him, it would knock her out whole.


As the months went by, the beat of the drums wouldn't leave her. She went to the only place she could relax: The River. It was a secret hiding place, just for her.

She dived straight in, the legs slowly transforming into one whole, scale covered tail. She sucked in the water, but it couldn't calm her or the drums that played inside her head. It swallowed her whole, and she felt nothing but numbness. She floated in the water like a dead body.

The drums only begun to play louder.


The drums became faint whispers of warnings, messages sent to her from nowhere. Though it did begin to start being heard by others, to Patricia it became sirens, louder than bells, though it drummed like a heavenly beat, it ruined her mind and took it to hell.

Eddie was a danger, she would never know how. For he was the descendent Anubis, The God of Death, and he brought her death by driving her mad with drums.
