Hey guys. Last time stuff got a little bit of flirt game going on between Mara and Jonny. Patricia had a secret to tell but never got the chance, and Nina found out that her and Jonny are siblings. See how it all plays out. :)
Nina's POV
"Mara. Look at this." I told her. She leaned her head on my and read aloud with her head tilted almost upside down.
"Lily Martin, Archeologist of the year in Egypt. Spouse: Jonathan Martin; Maxwell Martin (unknown)? What does that mean?" She asked me.
"I don't know, keep reading."
"Children: Nina Martin and… Jonathan Skidmore? What? You two? You just found this out?"
"I would have told you before if I didn't!"
"It all makes sense though," she sat up and continued, " You two were born on the same day, and you were both attacked by that thing. Maybe it wants you two. What if your mom dug something up and it had that spirit attached to it and cursed her kin?" Mara said. It had to be a little far fetched.
"Okay I think you are getting way too into this." I told her.
"Yeah but what does it want with you two?" She asked me.
"I have no idea."
"Well we have to go and tell him." Mara started to walk to the door.
"Wait!" I jumped.
"What?"
"Should we tell him?" I asked her. I don't know why but I just didn't want to yet.
"No we should just wait here for that shadow thing to murder us all. Of course we should tell him Nina!" She monologues.
"I know, but I have a bad feeling. A feeling that we shouldn't let him know yet."
"Okay I really think you are losing your mind." She informed me.
"Of course you think this, but hey it's not after you it's after me. So if I'm wrong it's my head not yours."
"And Jonny's!" I forgot that the consequences were for him as well.
"Come on you have to trust me." I am really going with my gut on this one. "If the gods want him to know he will find out some how. And I know it won't be through me."
"Nina!"
"Don't tell him." I demanded. "So what's going on between you two?"
"What?" She asked me as if she didn't know what I was talking about.
"Don't play dumb, it's obvious you like each other, or else he would have slept on the floor and not on your bed." I am so thankful that I am good at changing the subject.
"Yes I like him but nothing big has really happened since that moment."
"Why not? If the guy doesn't keep going along with his moves you have to ask him what that was or else later on you will get your heart broken. Never let a guy lead you on., even if he is my ...unknown twin?"
"Yeah, unknown twin." She nodded her head and we both started laughing. Someone knocked on the door. "Come in!" Mara said picking up some of our clothes off the floor. Patricia entered the room. She threw all the clothes at me.
"Mara can I talk to you about that thing?" What thing? I wanna know the thing. I will just ask when she gets back in the room.
"Yeah sure." They went into the hallway and about 5 minutes later I heard Patricia's door close gently. Then Mara entered our room and closed the door. She lid down it and sat on her butt with an utter look of despair.
"What happened?" I asked her getting up and sitting next to her.
"Patricia likes Jonny…"
"Oh dear." Well this is perfect. Maybe that's why he hasn't been dropping hints. "Well on the bright side, at least you spent the night with him once."
"Okay then. Well he wants to play that lead someone on game… Two can play in that category."
"Um, Mara," I started as she got off of the floor, "You do know Patricia likes him, not the other way around."
"Then why hasn't he been, as you call it, 'making a move'?"
"Maybe he has and you just missed it." I suggested.
"Well I'm still doing this."
"Doing what?" I asking nervously. She bent down and pulled out a box of black hair dye."No" I stretched out. She laughed and ran to the bath. I ran after her but it was too late. She locked the door. "Mara!" I yelled at her. I got not response. I just gave up. There was no way I was getting there. I went down stairs and saw Jerome on the couch on his laptop. "Jerome, I need your help." I really don't want her to dye her hair.
"Okay well it's-" I cut him of.
"Don't you dare say it's going to cost me, now come on." I grabbed his sleeve and drug him up the stairs.
"You had better watch your tone or-"
"Or what Jerome?" I crossed my arms in an intimidating manner.
"Nothing of course." He said smiling. "What's wrong?" I pointed at the bathroom door.
"Open it."
"I'm not opening a door for you just because you locked her phone in there." I was getting frustrated so I grabbed his shirt and pulled him close.
"Mara is dying her hair in there! OPEN! IT...NOW!" I screamed in his face and let him go. I looked away from him out the blurry door window. He turned my cheek to look him straight in the eyes.
"Of course sweetheart." He said sarcastically and pulled a bobby pin out of my hair. He held it up and looked at me. He then put it in the keyhole. I completely forgot about that… I feel bad about it now. Once the door was open, Mara was drying her hair already and it was completely dry and straight. She looked so different. We heard two doors open but didn't bother to look. "Mara you look…"
"Beautiful." we both turned around and Jonny was standing there smiling her straight in the eye. Then I saw Patricia standing in the doorway of her room with her mouth open from shock. She turned around and closed the door.
"Jonny." Mara said. I looked at her wondering what her next move was.
"Yes?" He asked smiling at her.
"Nina has something to tell you."
"Mara!" I yelled at her.
"Ooh and the plot thickens as they say. Well Nina, what is it? Do you like Jonny?" Jerome asked.
"No." Jerome raised his eyebrows. "Mara likes my brother." I just confused everyone in the room except Mara with that statement. "And my brother likes Mara." I think the big finish solved everyone's confusion.
"Wait you like Jonny and Jonny's your brother?" Jerome asked.
"Yes." Mara and I both said in unison.
"You like me?" Jonny smiled at her.
"Is that a bad thing?" Mara asked all frightened like a little puppy dog.
"No actually, I think now would be the perfect time to ask…" Jonny started and walked over to Mara.
"Nina, may I talk to you for a moment?"
"Yeah sure let's go into my room."
This is where we split.
Jonny's POV
"Look, I'm sorry for not talking much for after what happened that night I blacked out. I have been dropping little hints, but I was afraid you didn't like me really." I apologized. Of course I like her, who wouldn't? She's smart, is very beautiful and has an amazing personality.
"Oh wow, I didn't know. Sorry, I promise, I'm usually smart." She laughed. I looked into her deep brown eyes and her flawless face. I knew I liked her from the moment I saw her. I forgot to respond. "What?" She asked me with another bright smile. I caught myself staring.
"Mara, what I was meaning to ask you is, would you like to be my girlfriend?" I asked her. My heart was pumping excruciatingly fast. I was thinking she would say yes but it's just the terrible part of not knowing that is getting to me. She had a concerned look on her face.
"No." My heart dropped, and as I was going to ask why I realized I couldn't open my mouth. "Look Jonny, I don't think us going out is a good idea." I couldn't believe it, she said no.
"Oh," that was all I could get out of my mouth. Then I spoke again, "why not?"
Mara's POV
Why not? Oh he is always asking why not. I want to but Patricia is one of my best friends. I couldn't do that to her.
"Jonny, I can't. I want to but I can't." I can't believe this, when the guy of my dreams asks me out and then Patricia likes him.
"Mara," He grabbed my waist and looked like he was about to cry. He held my in his hands and kissed me. I grabbed his shirt and after a few seconds we broke away. "Mara please tell me why." His voice cracked and was breaking. I looked behind him and Patricia was standing there. She ran out of the corridor and down the stairs. I heard the front door slam. I ran to the corridor hallway and stopped to look back at him.
"That's why." I ran down the stairs and outside after Patricia.
Nina's POV
When the group of four split.
Nina and Mara's room.
"They are going to be so happy together" I told Jerome. "However the unfortunate part about it is Patricia likes Jonny as well."
"What?! Is that why she looked upset earlier?" He asked me.
"Yeah."
"Is there any chance that Mara would tell him no because of her?"
"I am pretty sure." I sat down on my bed and Jerome sat next to me. He ran his fingers through his hair like he was frustrated. "Are you okay?" I asked him.
"Nina?"
"Yeah?"
"How long has Mara liked him?"
"Since they got to know each other after the first day I think. Why?" I think I'm walking on thin ice here…
"Just wondering."
Jerome's POV
Well now I can just focus on getting Joy back. Unfortunately she would probably have to be in a different house, but I miss her. The moment when our hands touched in the hallway the last day I saw her, oh I just want her with me, even if she's not with me.
"Jerome?" She called my name and I looked at her.
"Do you think we could find Joy?" I interrupted.
"Well, I hope so." I laid backwards and wiped my face slowly. I put my hands down at my sides and Nina put her hand on one of mine. I looked at her. "We will find her." She gave me a warm, hopeful smile. There was a big slam down the stairs. I sat up and we looked at each other.
"What was that?" I asked her.
"I have no idea." We both got up and I opened the door. Jonny was sitting in the middle of the floor holding his hands over his knees. He was crying and all red.
Nina's POV
"Jonny, what happened?" I asked him.
"She said no and Patricia probably hates her because she saw me kiss Mara." Jonny explained.
"Where did they go?" Jerome asked.
"Patricia ran out of the house and Mara went after her."
"Hey at least you have something good in your life." Jerome started and Jonny looked up at him, "Your best friend is your sister." We both sat down next to
"Also, Mara really likes you. She only said no because of Patricia. I'm not saying it's your fault, but if you asked earlier this morning, then she would've said yes." I informed him.
"I'm going to go and take a nap in your bed."
"Okay." He got up and went to my room. Fabian charged into the corridor.
"What happened with those two?" He asked us.
"Patricia likes Jonny and she told Mara. Then Jonny asked Mara out but she said not because Patricia likes Jonny. Then Jonny kissed her and Patricia saw. She rushed out and Mara went after her." I explained. He sat down next to me.
"It's a good thing no one else likes me." He said.
"Hey a lot-" I stopped.
"A lot what?" Fabian asked me. I shushed him.
"Nina." I heard very faintly from my room. I jumped up and ran to the door. It was Jonny and the figure. The figure was draining Jonny of something and Jonny was kneeling with his mouth wide open.
"Jonny!" I screamed. Once Jerome, Fabian and I were all in the room the door slammed shut. The cracks glowed golden like the last time. The figure broke the drain from Jonny and looked at me. An indigo mist came from him and took over me. I saw Jonny fall but caught himself on his arms. I tired to resist. It took all of my strength to break through. I started coughing but struggled to make my way over to Jonny. My vision started to get blurry and I almost fell, but Fabian caught me. I limped up over to Jonny and he started crawling to me.
"Ahh!" Fabian screamed and let me go. I looked at him and the figure had the indigo mist shooting through his back to his stomach.
"Fabian!" I yelled.
"Leave the saviors be!" the figured demanded. The door flung open and the mist let go of Fabian. He dropped to the floor.
"Nina…" He let out. I limped my way towards him but he pointed to Jonny. "Get him." He whispered.
"I got him Nina." Jerome ran towards him. I limped to Jonny but by the time I got there, he was standing. I grasped his torso and he held my head with one hand and the other on my back. The figure began to speak.
"I am Anubis. You will help Isis, Thoth, Horus and I reassemble The remaining parts of Osiris. We can not find them as Seth has hidden them from us and only the saviors may find them. Nina and Jonathan Martin, you are the saviors. If you fail to find the pieces in the next seven months, you and the rest of the world will perish. In the meantime I will take something that you love the most in your lives." A picture of Gran and my uncle Maxwell. "I supposed that these two people will motivate you to find Osiris' body and assemble them." Gran and Maxwell appeared.
"Gran!" I yelled.
"Dad!" Jonny yelled at the same time. Anubis took them through the portal and the door slammed shut.
Find out what happens next time! How will they know who there father actually was? What will happen with Mara and Patricia? How will Fabian recover from the shot of mist from Anubis. Happy reading! :)
