House of Anubis FanFiction – The extinguished Flame

Chapter 8 – The Explanations of Eddie

Eddie POV

I knew she was in one of these rooms. I thought as I raced down the miles of corridor. My stomach growled and my eyes were heavy. I will not sleep or eat till I have found her.

I reached a large oak door and straight away I knew it as Edana's room. She must have put her in there. I could hear little whimpers from the other side of the door. I turned the handle but it wouldn't budge. I am coming for you Patricia. I thought as I took a deep breath and back a little down the hallway. This is going to hurt. I launched myself at the door. It didn't budge. A pain ran up my shoulder. Gritting my teeth I tried again and after several tries the door fell down.

I looked around the room. Books piled high and old ornaments scattered every where. A bed lay in the corner and Patricia was there. "Patricia!" I almost yelled as I ran to her. Tears streaked her face and my heart died. "I am so sorry. I am getting you out of here. Like now!" I picked her up and she clung to my shirt. I am going to have to show her what I can do. I took another deep and forced my mind to think of the tree house.

A giant willow tree with a white and grey tree house surrounding the trunk. The Eddie flag hanging off a pole and some bits of wood rotten with wood worm. A cold breeze passing my neck as it was autumn. Leaves rustled by the trees. Open all you senses Eddie. I herd a voice and continued. It smelt damp from the rain the night before and goosebumps rose on my skin. The sun just managed to break through the branches and touch my face with whatever warmth it had left.

I felt my body change into air as we were lifted away. "EDISON WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" I could hear Edana yelling after me. I wasn't going to leave her there not with Edana. The memories of my time there flashed before me.

Hello Edison welcome to you training. I am Edana.

Flash

I stood in the training room. It was dark and had only one small window the size of mail box. But it was covered in bars. "Pain will help you control your powers" Edana appeared holding a whip that was knotted at the ends. Fear rose up in me and I tried to move but my ankles and wrists were shackled to the floor. She raised the whip above her head and smacked it hard on my back. It felt like my skin was on fire. I growled at her and she laughed. "Bad dog!tut tut" She whipped me again and my skin split. Blood oozed down my back. I yelled out in pain. Edana laughed. "Control the pain control your power" She hit me again. "AH!" "CONTROL YOUR PAIN! CONTROL YOU POWER!" I could feel it rising in me. I could feel the change. No! I wasn't going to change. NEVER! "AAAAAHHHH!" she hit me again and I collapsed. "I am disappointed in you Edison" She laughed and left me there to rot

I stood in a forest with Patricia in my arms. She had passed out in my arms. I don't blame her I did when I first vaporised and then turned back then turned back to normal. Looking over to my left I could see the tree house. Running there was always easy but when you have a past out Patricia... not so much. When we got there I lay her down on some blankets in the corner. I have a lot of explaining to do when she wakes up. And I know it's kind of creepy but I watched her while she slept...

Patricia POV

I had the dream about Eddie again. But this time it went for longer.

He grabbed my arm. "I am somebody you should stay away from" he yelled at me. But I didn't flinch. I refused to flinch. His arm dropped from my side. "I'm sorry" He whispered. He began to walk away but I grabbed his arm. "Tell me Eddie" I whispered looking down at me feet. "Tell you what Patricia?" He lifted my chin and made me look into his eyes. I looked at him and he realised what I meant. "You are special Patricia. I never new where a gifted one before I fell for you" his voice caught at the end. I stood there eyes wide. "We will talk of this when you wake up. I promise. He kissed my forehead and everything went black...

I woke up in a small house. A tree house I guessed since it was under a tree. I lifted up my head and realised I was asleep on Eddie. His eyes were closed and he looked so fragile. His spiky blonde hair was now flat and messy. His clothes were covered in mud. His T-shirt had lifted a bit on the side. The same side that in my dream he got shot in. I carefully hooked my finger under his shirt and lifted it. A small penny sized scar lay on his skin. "You know you could have just asked rather then perv on me while I slept" I jumped and Eddie sat up rubbing his eyes. "Sorry, I scared you didn't I? Crap! I am so sorry" His eyes pleaded with mine. "What where you going to tell me when I woke up? After you were shot you told me when I woke up you would tell me" I came closer to him and reached for my hand. I let him take it and sparks shot up my arm at his touch. A shiver went don my spine. "Did Edana Tell you anything?" his voice was hoarse as if he had been shouting. I shook my head. "then this is going to be a long explanation" He laughed and pulled me onto his lap. I didn't object. It felt good to be in his arms. He felt safe. "okay so let's begin from the beginning" He laughed again and suddenly went serious.

Third Person

"There are these people we call the gifted. There a select amount of people that are chosen by others to gain there powers. For example when you were born someone you wouldn't have known would have visited you. They saw something in you that they liked and gave you there power. This would kill them but they are normally close to death any ways. Especially if they are giving power away out of there own free will.

Edana is one of many hunters who find the gifted and trains them as weapons. I thankfully got away and took you with me." Eddie hung his head. "I should not have let them take you Patricia. I am so sorry" His body racked as if he was going to cry. Patricia touched his cheek. "you have me now. And thank you" there eyes met. They slowly inched forward. "I am the one that should be sorry. I thought you were the bad guy." Eddie shut his eyes. He opened them again and pressed his lips to Patricia's. "I am never letting you go again" He whispered and pulled her closer. "Aw isn't that cute. Little Edison has fallen for the Nymph. Has he told you what he is yet or where you to busy smooching to ask?" Edana stood there with two guys flanking behind her. Patricia shook her head. "Oh my dear Edison is the strongest of all gifted. A whole service was made for him and he has powers from 4 different gifted. One is a Werewolf. Two was a element controller. Three was a Teleporter as you have already seen. Four was a healer. He is the first of his kind." Edana smiled and waved a hand at the men. They advanced forward. "Let's show you what he can do then shall we?" Edana watched as the men grabbed Eddie and flung Patricia tot he floor. "NO!" Eddie yelled and continued to fight. "don't bother Teleporting child. We have this area surrounded by absorbers. Your powers is being drained enough so that you are useless." Edana bent down towards Patricia. "Now you. Your a whole different ball game" ...
