I recognised it... why did i recognise a symbol of Eddie's past?! This isnt' right, i looked closer at the drawing.

It looked like he was starting to draw a forest and in the middle of that forest was a football.

I frowned, for some reason this particular ball made my stomach churn. It looked so familiar but I couldn't remember where I had seen it. Before I had the chance to even try, the bell rung.

"We ran out of time today but we shall continue in the next lesson, you may go" Miss Walker said. I blinked wildly as Eddie closed his sketchbook, breaking my concentration and forcing me to pack up my stuff and leave the room.

The rest of the day was hell, I couldn't stop thinking about his drawing, it was so familiar but I couldn't remember where I'd seen it. It was driving me crazy, adding more questions to my head. First: How is Eddie immune to me, second: Why did he react the way he did to my picture? Third: How did I recognise something Eddie drew?

These questions were going to be hard to find out the answers to, but I had to find out, one way or another.

I appeared in a forest, alone, I knew I had been here before. I walked along the narrow dirt path, pushing the branches of small trees out of my face.

"Hello?" I called "Is anyone here?" I got no reply but I kept walking.

"Patricia" A voice summoned me softly. I wasn't scared but startled as I turned around to meet the voice. No one was there.

"Hello?" I called again, trying to get the speaker to show themselves.

"Patricia" The voice summoned me again, this time sounding more urgent. I started to walk faster, looking around me.

"Hello? Who's there?" I asked, trying to find the speaker.

"You don't remember me?" The voice asked from behind me. I whisked around, coming face to face with the speaker. I didn't know how I could tell but I knew it was a male. He was wearing a long black cloak with a red pattern on it, which covered most of his face…except for his eyes. His eyes were a distinctive shade of hazel, it's as if they had a tint of gold.

"Why would I remember you? Who are you?" I demanded. The speaker laughed lowly.

"You know who I am Trixie" He said.

I sat up abruptly, breathing heavily, the memory of the dream flowing back along with the events of yesterday. Everything was starting to get really weird, nothing made sense anymore. I looked at the time and cursed under my breath, I was early but not early enough, I knew I would have to face my housemates again this morning.

I rushed out of bed, quickly had a shower, got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. I met Trudy in the kitchen.

"Morning Truds" I greeted, giving her a quick hug.

"Morning Patricia, how was yesterday?" She asked innocently, but there was no use being innocent because I knew what she was referring to.

"Never do that again" I said frowning. She laughed slightly and passed me a bowl, so I could make cereal.

"Oh dearie I'm sorry, it's just you've been on your own from almost the moment you got here, I think you should start talking to people again"

"Trudy as wonderful as you are, I strongly disagree, I do not need to 'talk to people' I'm just fine on my own" I insisted, getting the milk from the fridge and pouring it into my bowl.

"No you're not, everyone likes a bit of company" She argued.

"Well I'm far from 'everyone' remember?" I reminded her. She smiled apologetically and held my face between her hands.

"Oh Patricia you know I care about you, don't take it to heart" She said sincerely, I shrugged.

"I know you do" I said "Now get off me before someone sees" I said playfully. Trudy let go and rolled her eyes, mumbling something along the lines of 'teenagers' I took my bowl of milk and placed it on the table, where I poured myself some cereal. I tried to eat quickly so I could avoid my house mates but I was too late. I took a deep breath and shifted uncomfortably in my seat.

Everyone walked in at different times, but when we were all at the table, it wasn't as awkward as the day before, everyone was too busy in their own conversations to realise I existed-as it should be. Joy was talking to Fabian about some 'study buddy' nonsense until Nina walked in and Fabian got all googly eyed and forgot all about Joy. For a second I actually felt kind of sorry for her.

She realised I was looking at her and smiled sadly. My eyes widened, was she smiling at me? No it can't be, I looked behind me, no one was there. I looked beside me and saw Jerome was talking to Alfie, she couldn't have been smiling at him. I looked to my left and saw that Mara was too busy reading a book, Joy couldn't have smiled at her. I looked back at Joy and she nodded at me, as if to say 'Yes I was smiling at you' I gasped and put my head down.

Everyone refused to think I existed, so the fact that Joy smiled at me was completely out of character. There was need no getting hung up on it anyway, it's not like it meant anything. I quickly finished my cereal and made my escape to the garden, I had missed it yesterday.

When I got to the garden and pulled my personal sketchpad out of my bag, my mind wandered back to the dream I had. I'd experienced that dream before, so it was nothing new but what did it mean? That was another question to add to my list.

I continued to draw the cloaked figure that I kept dreaming of and while I did this, the same question rung in my head. What had he meant by 'You know who I am Trixie" I had never seen him in my life, not to mention that he'd never shown his face. I groaned in frustration just thinking of it and headed to school. And minutes later I was met by the idiotic American.

"Well if it isn't the Yacker" The voice taunted from behind me. I closed my eyes, why did he always pop up at the wrong times.

"What do you want slimeball?" I asked, watching him catch up with me.

"Who said I ever wanted anything?" He asked, shrugging. I shook my head, he may be new but he should get it by now.

"Well why else would you be talking to me?" I asked. He stopped in his tracks and looked at me.

"Uh, maybe just to talk to you? And I actually happen to like annoying you" He smirked. I rolled my eyes and continued walking faster this time, in attempt outrun him, but to my dismay, he quickly caught up with me.

"What's wrong with wanting to talk to you?" He asked. Oh I don't know, maybe because I hate you, or maybe because you're planning to use your immunity against me. This time I stopped in my tracks and narrowed my eyes at him.

"Listen here newbie, no one talks to me around here…and neither should you" I stated venomously and walking off. I could practically feel the confusion that he had from behind me, but I couldn't care less, this is how it needs to be, at least until I find out how he's immune to me.

I looked at the clock behind me and groaned, why can't this lesson end already. I had a double period of English literature and I was hating it. We were watching Macbeth, a Shakespeare play. I actually didn't mind watching it , It was better than reading it so I can't necessarily complain. My problem was the stupidity that is shown through this play.

Macbeth, listens to three witches and his wife, but not his loyal friend Banquo who he eventually kills! Obviously witches can never be trusted, why he listened to them in the first place, I don't know. He became Thane of Cawdor without killing anybody but for some reason this guy decides to kill his King and then a load of other people.

It frustrated me so much that he couldn't see when to stop, my teacher says he's a 'tragic hero' because his flaws led to his eventual downfall, but it was for the greater good for others. Well actually I would call him a tragic dumbass, for making stupid decisions which led to his mother fucking downfall.

During the film I started to think. What if I was Macbeth and Eddie's the witches. Is it his immunity that will lead to my downfall? Maybe he is a witch, or should i say a wizard, and that's how he it's possible for him to be immune to me. It sounds ridiculous but it's something, and it makes the most sense at the moment. I would have to test out my theory later.

When the class finally ended it was time for lunch. I decided that today I would go into town, for it, I needed time to think and school was not the right place for that. As I walked out of the school, I saw Eddie looking around before slipping into the trees of the forest. I frowned, that was odd.

"Where are you sneaking off to" I murmured, before following him.

There's the chapter! I don't really like it but the next one will be better! Where do you think Eddie's going? Review! Chi x
