Ch. 2
Nina's POV
As I said before, there are few that know my secret. Besides Senkarah and me there are two other people who know my secret. They are Eddie and Fabian. Eddie found out first. He actually was there when I found out, before he knew he was the Osirion. It happened one month before the curse would come upon me…
"It is ten o' clock! You have five minutes precisely, and then I want to hear a pin drop." Victor exclaims. The pin then drops. There was no Sibuna meeting tonight, so I got to have some rest. I closed my eyes. As soon as I fell asleep, I had a dream. A dream worth telling Sibuna about. It wasn't a Sarah dream, no. It was a Senkarah dream. She told me: Go to your school, and go to where you and your little friends call the "common room". There I will tell you a message that you shall never forget. I immediately woke up. I got out of bed as quietly as I could. I got out of the room and down the stairs. Luckily I got up and out of the house without waking up anyone, or so I thought…
Eddie's POV
I was doing my normal middle-of-the-night routine: Wake up, get a snack from the kitchen, go back to my room, eat, and dream about me. As I was exiting the kitchen with my double meat, double cheese sandwich (I have been spending too much time with Alfie), I noticed a brunette walking out the door. Probably Nina, I thought. I just continued walking to m room where I found Fabian on the floor, drooling, and moaning "I do. I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." Weird. I set my food down, on my nightstand. I wasn't tired. I either had to sleep or follow Nina, and sleeping wasn't an option, so I decided to follow Nina. I don't know why though. It seemed like something, someone was calling me there, to follow her. I put on my sweatshirt and my favorite purple high tops and headed out the door, leaving Fabian, and everyone else asleep.
Eddie's POV
I saw Nina turn a corner. I followed her. I finally noticed that she was headed towards the school. She picked the lock with her hairpin. I didn't hear the school alarm bell go off, which means my dad forgot to turn on the alarm, again. I ran as fast as I could to catch the door while it was open. I caught it just in time with my foot. That's when I realized how heavy the school doors are. They crushed my toes, until I couldn't feel my circulation. I actually don't know why I kept my foot there so long, but I guess I was thinking. As I walked through the door I saw Nina turn the corner, entering into the common room.
Nina's POV
When I walked into the common room, there she was, Senkarah. I screamed a small scream.
"Quiet Chosen One!" Senkarah demanded
"Sorry." I replied
"Now, I brought you here because I am going to lay upon you, another curse."
"Again?!"
"Silence!" She demanded once again. Nina nodded.
"The curse is on your 16th birthday, you will be ugly."
"What do you mean?" Nina asked
"Well, you will look ugly and monstrous and the only way to become yourself, again is someone to love you and you to love him." Senkarah explained.
"I understand, but may I ask you a question?" Nina asked
"Proceed." Senkarah nodded
"Why are you giving me a curse, again?"
"Because you almost destroyed me and my little mortal minion!" Senkarah exclaimed.
"You've got a point there." Nina agreed. As Nina said this, she noticed that a sandy blonde was eavesdropping on my "conversation" with an evil spirit.
"Eddie?!" I said surprised
"Hey, Nina!" He looked very red and very uncomfortable.
"No! The Osirion!" Senkarah yelled. Then she completely vanished in the blink of an eye.
(No one's POV)
"Eddie, you're the Osirion?" Nina asked.
"Apparently. Um… may I ask who that strange looking woman was, and who, I mean what is the Osirion?" Eddie asked. He had many questions.
"Oh, well…um. Ok. That woman, spirit was Senkarah," Nina explained. Eddie nodded.
"Senkarah was, is known as the forgotten ruler. And last year she was haunting us."
"Who's us?" Eddie asked
"Sibuna," Nina replied. Eddie showed a confused face. "I'll explain later."
"So who am I? What is the Osirion?"
"The Osirion is the protector of the Chosen One. Th-" Nina was interrupted.
"Who is the Chosen One?" Eddie interrupted.
"I am."
"Well that explains why Senkarah called you 'Chosen One'."
Nina laughed.
Eddie's POV
"Why are you here anyway?" Nina asked me.
"I got bored. Plus I saw you walk out, and I got curious." I said. Nina nodded.
Eddie's watch said 5:56 a.m. After Eddie addressed to Nina what time it was, they walked back and got a couple of hours of sleep before having to wake up for the day ahead.
