I felt my body flinch as my eyes flew open. Not again, I thought slowly sitting up. This had been the third time this week that I had the nightmare. Third. The same old shit replaying in my subconscious mind. I still didn't know what any of it meant.

"You don't remember me?"

"Why would I remember you? Who are you?" I demanded.

"You know who I am Trixie" He said.

All of it just didn't make sense and it frustrated me. If only he could reveal himself, it would make it a lot easier. I exhaled, frustrated, and let my back fall flat on my bed. Sleep, that's what I needed.

.*.*.*.

Sleep is useless, it didn't do anything, I still woke up exhausted. Walking to the shower was hard enough let alone walking down the stairs.

"Are you okay dearie?" Trudy asked, her warm brown eyes full on concern. I sat on the table and nodded, holding my hand on my forehead.

"I'm fine, just tired, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night" I admitted, leaning back in my chair and squinting at the light, shining in my face. It felt good to be back to my normal routine. Being around my house mates was starting to give me anxiety, and especially after what Eddie and Joy said the last time I saw them. I don't think I would have made it through breakfast without burning something…or someone.

I toyed with my gloves, just thinking of it.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Trudy's gentle voice tore me away from my thoughts.

"No it's okay, just a rough night, nothing out of the ordinary" I lied. Sure I felt bad about lying to her, I know I was slightly betraying her trust. But if I was honest with myself, I would say she doesn't need to know and besides, this was something I had to work out on my own.

"If you say so" She said, handing me a cup of tea. I smiled.

"Thanks!" I acknowledged.

After I had eaten my breakfast and just avoided my house mates, I briskly walked to the garden. It felt like it had been weeks since I had last been here, with all of the Eddie business but in actuality, it had only been a few days. I sat down on the green grass and soaked in the small sunlight that shone from the sky. Inhaling the clean air, I brought out my sketch book and placed it on my lap.

Things were starting to get complicated in my head, and the only way for me to feel at ease was to remove some of the confusion from my head, I do this by drawing. I cleared my head, closed my eyes and let my hand take over.

The images in my head being expressed on paper, put me at ease. Nothing else mattered anymore; not the nightmares, not Eddie's immunity, not my curse…Nothing. All that mattered was my hand tinkering the paper with the pencil. I was at peace…until I opened my eyes and saw what I had sketched. I looked at the outline of the dark cloak the mysterious man was wearing, and the quite detailed sketch of his eyes. I didn't even need colour to remember exactly what they looked like.

To put it simply his eyes were…mysterious. The shade of hazel was something I've never seen before. To be honest I wasn't even aware that you could have different shades of Hazel, but this one it was special. They were warm, almost melting but still firm. Despite this, there was just a glint of gold, which I was sure was impossible.

It just proves that nightmares are nightmares for a reason. No way could that have been real. I must have watched something that had made me dream of it, obviously that must be the logical explanation.

I stood up from the grass and dusted off my skirt, before making my way to school. I still didn't want to run into any of my house mates. The fewer times saw them the better. I looked at my drawing as I walked along the path. What I didn't understand was why was I still having this dream? I already discovered the same eyes, I saw in the dream to the Phoenix so why was there further mystery.

Then it hit me. You saw a man in your dream not a bird you idiot. I groaned…of course! I guess it's back to square-

"Ow!

"Watch where you're going!" I snapped. My thoughts were rudely interrupted when body colliding with mine, sending me straight to the dirty school floor. I didn't even realised I had gotten to school.

"Hey you bumped into me!" He retorted, collecting his books from the ground. I scrambled to grab my sketch book, then looked up to come face to face with the speaker. I narrowed my eyes…I knew the voice sounded familiar.

"Well if it isn't the Yacker" He said, a playful smirk on his lips and his eyes mocking. I've started to realise that he always has this devious glint in his eyes that made me think he was up to something.

"Slimeball" I answered. We just sat there on all fours, staring at each other. Don't let it fool you, this wasn't one of those moments in romance movies when they realise they are meant to me. This was war, a battle to see who's glare would make the other person look away first. We seemed to forget that we were still on the floor, holding our books, in the middle of the hall way. Not that we cared.

I continued to glare at him, looking at him straight in his eyes so he would know that I meant business, and I wasn't going to budge. However his hazel eyes didn't falter. My eyes widened as a small gasp escaped my lips.

His eyes were a distinctive shade of hazel, it's as if they had a tint of gold.

A wave of realisations hit me instantaneously. Those eyes…those were the eyes I saw in my dream! But it can't be.

"Goodbye, Patricia" He murmured, before standing up and walking away. I stood up slowly, still in awe of what I had just discovered. Eddie was the man I saw in my dream…it didn't make any sense. I didn't know him before he came to Anubis…did i?

And why do I feel like there was more meaning "Goodbye" well his said my actual name…which was a bad sign. He never says my name, there's never a reason to. He could have said 'Smell you later' or even 'piss off' but instead he said 'Goodbye' Why did he sound so serious? So many questions but no answers.

It was just a hunch, but I had a feeling 'Goodbye' was more permanent that I thought.

Yeah it's been a while but when I realised I only got three reviews on the last chapter, I didn't feel like updating and then I got busy so, yeah. It's half term though, so if I get enough reviews I'll update regularly Chi x

P.S I posted a poem on wattpad called 'The Unknown', I would really appreciate it if you were to read and on it. The link is on my twitter *at*HiddenRomantics
