Disclaimer: I do not own HOA or any of the characters.

Hiya! I just started a new story called Harmony and I don't know how but I am going to balance between these stories in a way I can. I hope I'll be able to do at least a few stories at a time. Wish me luck. But onto the chapter.

LINEBREAK

Kill

"Patricia!" Eddie exclaimed. "Are you okay?" she didn't respond. He could hear her taking deep breaths, trying to control her powers. Her eyes finally went back to the beautiful shade of emerald they naturally were, and the color was back in her face.

"I don't think so." he heard her croak. "She's back Eddie." Patricia whispered, looking fearfully into his eyes. Eddie's heart stopped and his fists clenched. That witch of an Egyptian had tried to kill his Yacker and had made him do things he couldn't believe he had done.

"It's okay Patricia." he soothed her, gently wrapping his arms around her. "I'll keep you safe."

"Eddie, it's not that simple. There's so much more to it. It's Sibuna." Patricia's voice broke slightly. "They're going to kill me."

LINEBREAK

Amber groaned. She had been waiting for Patricia for two hours. Amber left her room, and marched down the stairs, her heels causing clickity-clack sounds.

"Have any of you seen Patricia?" and at the same time: "Have any of you seen Eddie?" came from Fabian.

Amber and Fabian looked at each other. "I thought Eddie went for a walk." Amber answered him. "But Patricia just decided to disappear!"

"Why'd you even need her?" Alfie asked.

"She promised to watch 'Twilight' with me!" Amber screeched.

"Trixie...Twilight?"

Amber glared. "I have to do anything she wants for a week."

"Well looks light you won't have to!" Alfie cheered. Just then Patricia and Eddie toppled through the door.

"Patricia! Finally!" Amber smiled. But her smiled faltered when she saw Patricia's face. "Patty, what happened?" Patricia didn't respond. All Amber could see in Patricia's eyes was pure, utter terror. And that was completely un-Patricia.

"Nothing." Eddie said. "We're just gonna go upstairs now." he mumbled quickly, taking Patricia's hand and leading her up the stairs.

"Wait!" he heard Patricia say quietly. "What about James?" Eddie turned around instantly.

"How do you know about him?" at this point Amber had gone back to Alfie, seeing as Patricia and Eddie were obviously in the middle of something.

"He called me. Of all people I thought you would have realized that by now." Though honestly how she knew who he was she didn't understand. He'd never told her his name, and yet she had known it. Weird...

"Let's go back outside and wait." Eddie quickly suggested. Patricia agreed and they headed back out to the cold night. A few minutes went by and there he was. Just like he had promised.

Patricia wouldn't speak. It was as if she couldn't. This was her uncle. Her actual uncle. Part of her real family. What about her parents...?

Patricia breathed and decided to let the questions wait. Having an uncle was enough right now. And it actually seemed a little too much. To know she actually had a family after all those years was a lot to take in.

"I'm going to be staying near Anubis. Some hotel or apartment, I guess. I'll give you guys a ring." He leaned in to hug his niece. Patricia was a bit stiff but hugged back very lightly.

In a weird way in which she couldn't understand it actually pained her to be in contact with family again. They had given her away. And she didn't even know why.

LINEBREAK

Amber sighed as she slipped into the comfort of her warm bed. Patricia hadn't talked to her all night, and come to think of it she hadn't talked to anyone in Sibuna except Eddie.

Well whatever it was she would let Patricia be. She had learned over the years that Patricia could be quite outrageous or quite shy. Patricia needed time, and even though Amber was her best friend and deserved to know everything, she respected that.

Amber let her eyes slip closed and let slumber take over

"You're a beautiful girl." Amber heard a voice echo. "You deserve much more than you are getting." That voice, it was so familiar. "Maybe if you help me..." Cleopatra. "Now look at me." And it felt as if Amber was forced to do so. Their eyes locked. Blood red met innocent emerald.

"Wha-what do you want from me?" Amber stuttered.

"Not much. Just your soul." Cleopatra smirked deviously.

"I'm never going to give in. Patricia is my best friend. She's like my sister. I'm not going to backstab her." Amber countered. Strong and firm, she was getting good with this.

"Oh but don't you see. If you join me, you'll see all Patricia has done to you. And then when you get rid of her, you get all her riches, all her values. You get everything. And isn't that what you've always wanted? The world will forget Patricia Williamson. You'll have a family that loves you, you'll have adoring subjects. Just give in."

Amber's heart strained. She knew she couldn't give in. Patricia was a Sibuna, a sister. And all that this evil spirit was saying to her, she wasn't tempted. It was those blood red eyes.

They were getting to her. They were making her impure, reaching into the depths of her soul and destroying her innocence. "I won't, I can't." Amber struggled to whisper. Her body was weakening with every second, and her soul was being drawn out of her.

And then the pain was gone. And nothing mattered. Nothing mattered except getting to Patricia Williamson.

"Kill her."

And that was all that mattered.

Amber awoke with only one motive. Kill her. From nowhere there was suddenly a knife in her hand. An obviously ancient one. Amber slipped into the neighboring room.

Someone let out a blood curdling scream.

LINEBREAK
