Patricia
When Patricia opened her eyes again, she was freaking out inside. The last thing she remembered was walking into the library then….. nothing. She started to hyperventilate, but something caught her attention. Alfie was looking at her in disapproval. "What?" she said, her voice shaky from holding back a meltdown of panic attacks and flashbacks to last term.
"That stuff you said about Natalie was really mean." Alfie replied, frowning. Her panic increased. "What did I say?" Alfie shook his head, then stopped and scrunched his eyebrows in confusion. "What do you mean, "What did I say?" You were there! You said it!" "No, no, Alfie I didn't!" She said, close to fainting. "Alfie, the last thing I remember was walking in here! Its like-its like I was possessed or something!" Alfie stared at her, disbelief written all over his face. She slid down the bookshelf she was leaning against and put her head on her knees, her eye sockets fitting perfectly against them. "I don't want to live last year again!" Alfies voice broke through her meltdown. "I believe you." He said softly.
Just then Eddie hurried into the shelves where Alfie and Patricia were. "Hey, where's Natalie? I-Patricia? Are you okay?" Alfie answered for her. "Something is seriously wrong. Patricia says she can't remember walking in here or saying mean things about Natalie. She says it was like she was possessed." Alfies voice went softer toward the end, as Eddie stared at Patricia in shock.
"Patricia?" he said softly, slowly putting his hand on her shoulder. "I said mean things about Natalie and she ran off." She mumbled, looking up at him, with panicked eyes. "I don't want a repeat of last term." Eddie nodded. "Me either. But don't worry." His voice was soft. "That won't happen. We have to find Natalie now. Do you want to come with us?" His voice soothed Patricia, calming her. She opened her eyes and nodded. "I'll go with you. I gotta apologize to Natalie.
They hurried out of the darkness of the shelved area and ran out the door with the rest of Sibuna, who were informed on the way.
A scream cut through the air and straight into Eddie and Nina's bones. They ran faster with their friends following behind. They burst into a small clearing about the size of the Anubis House living room. Natalie was standing in the middle of it, her head drooping and her shoulders slumped. Her curly hair covered her face.
But the thing that made them really scared, was the spirit hanging over her. She looked nothing like Ammut, who looked like a beautiful young woman. She looked nothing like Senkhara who probably would have been the ancient Egypt version of Patricia. She was a black and purple winged bird-woman with long, black, flowing hair. But there was something about her, that was scarier then Senkhara or Ammut. She looked evil. She made the chills run down your spine. She, was no joke.
Sibuna stopped and stared at her and she stared back. "What have you done to Natalie?" Nina asked in a trembling voice. The spirit spoke in a low, monotone that cut like a knife. "I have merely demonstrated my power over the descendants of ancient Egypt's sacred trio." Eddie asked the question this time. "What do you mean, ancient Egypt's sacred trio?" The spirit looked irritated. "Serket, Amneris, and Osiris." "You-you mean, Natalie is the descendant of Serket?" KT asked, obviously scared. The spirit nodded, then smiled evilly. "That is why I have come." Eddies face crumpled, as he realized something. "Wait, if we are the trio, then how do you have power over us?"
The spirit smiled. "Osiris, I am so glad you have asked me that." She waved her hand and suddenly Nina and Eddie's faces dropped as they appeared to be in the same state as Natalie. She waved her hand again and they appeared again, on opposite sides of Natalie.
The spirit smiled. "You may call me Sakada. We may now, begin."
