In this chapter, Mara's dog Let Down will be in it. This is the only chapter he will be in though. This is the chapter where Nina turns into the creature. Hope you like it!

Ch. 9

*Day before Nina's Birthaday*

Nina's POV

I have been a little distant with Fabian lately because I've been spending so much time with Eddie. The reason why? Well, I'm super scared about tomorrow. I mean, wouldn't you be scared if someone said they were going to curse you on your birthday? I just don't know what to expect when I wake up tomorrow morning.

I got out of mine and Amber's room and went downstairs because I had to help Mara and Trudy cook dinner. Tonight we were having stew.

We had the pot on the island in the kitchen. Mara put in the carrots, potatoes, and roast beef, where I put in onions, beef broth, and celery. Trudy then put in salt and pepper.

No One's POV

While the girls put everything away and the other students were in the living room talking, Let Down got up on his hind legs and slobbered in the pot of food. When he heard the fridge close, he ran out of the kitchen.

*an hour later*

When the timer dinged, Nina went over to the pot on the stove to taste the stew to see if it was done.

Slurp.

She had a taste and thought it was good. She was setting the table with Mara and Trudy when she didn't feel so good.

"Trudy, I don't feel too- BLAH!"

Nina threw up.

By now Nina was in the kitchen. Everyone rushed to her.

"Nina, are you ok?" Fabian asked

"Mmhmm." She said right before she threw up on his shoes.

While Fabian left to get new shoes, Amber was asking Nina a series of unusual and unnecessary questions while receiving sarcastic responses.

"NINA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Amber asked.

"Amber, she sick, not deaf." Patricia said.

Amber just ignored her and asked again.

"HOW MANY FINGERS AM I HOLDING UP?"

Everyone sighed while Nina answered just to make her best friend happy.

"Two, Amber." Nina said.

"Ok Dearies," Trudy said, "we need to get Nina to a hospital."

"Can I come?" Fabian asked.

"Can I too?" Eddie asked.

"Me too." Amber said.

"And me." Patricia said.

"Don't forget about me!" Alfie whined.

"Ok. Fabian an Eddieyour coming with me while the rest of you clean up this mess." Trudy said.

"What about dinner?!" Alfie cried.

"Order pizza or something, and pour out that stew." Trudy said.

*at the hospital*

Eddie's POV

Trudy let us sleep over at the hospital by ourselves since it was a Friday. I have stayed by Nina's side this whole time. I just hope Nina's ok. I think I'm starting to like her even more.

I wonder what was in that stew.

Fabian is sitting on the other side of Nina's bed.

I'm really tired. Being an Osirion can wear you out.

Fabian's POV

I hope Nina will be ok. She is my first love and I can love no one else as much as her. If anything happened I would just die. I couldn't stop staring at her.

I heard 12 dings. It was the clock.

It was midnight which means it was Nina's birthday.

Wait.

If it was Nina's birthday, doesn't this mean she was supposed to be cursed?

No. My girlfriend could never be ugly. Suddenly something started happening to Nina. To her face. It was swirling in some sort of way that was so unusual. Her skin then became gray and black vains trailed up her face like snakes.

I take back what I said about her never being ugly and loving her and all. I take it all back.

She was ugly. As ugly as a bear. I fled the room as fast as you can say Anubis.

I can't believe I ever loved that beast.

I'm really sorry I didn't post yesterday, I wasn't keeping track of time, but this is my longest chapter and I hope it was worth it. There will definitely be more Neddie and Fabina for you Fabina fans. I will try and post the next chapter by next week. Please review!
