House Of Similarities
"What did you want to talk about?" Nina asked Eddie.
"Have you been seeing anything weird lately? Glowing objects?"
"Like what?" Nina asked.
"When I went to see my dad yesterday, I noticed I piece of paper on his desk that shined gold and had weird symbols on it."
"What did the symbols look like?"
"It looked like a cracked circle with the gender signs of male and female in them. When I looked at it closely it revealed an inscription that wasn't there before. I started to read it, but dad came in and when I looked again it was gone."
"Can you remember the inscription?" Nina asked.
"Something about an object and a maze, it didn't make sense."
Nina started to go through her locker.
"I received this two days ago" She said giving Eddie the envelope. "And these this morning" she said showing him the bear and the key.
"The key. They have the male and female gender signs on them. Just like the scroll."
"I think I understand the message in the envelope, but we should get the scroll from your dad's office just in case."
Eddie's back slammed against the lockers, sliding down to the ground in frustration.
"Why does being the Osirian mean breaking and entering, suspecting the one's you love?"
Nina sat down next to Eddie.
"Sometimes you have to do some pretty underhanded things to learn the truth."
Nina thought this was the perfect time to tell Eddie about his father. She had been meaning to tell him about the secret society his father belonged to, but the timing never felt right. She cleared her mind of the thought not wanting to hurt Eddie's relationship with his father from something that was in the past. It was the future she was worried about, and if Mr. Sweet was somehow involve in this new mystery she knew it would not be the past Eddie had to worry about.
"Sometimes the ones you love are the ones who betray you in the end" Nina whispered.
Though Eddie heard her comment he never made to connection. Instead he rose from the ground and extended his hand to help Nina up.
"Dad has a meeting to attend to at another campus this evening. We can come back then and won't have to worry about getting caught."
"Mid day break in. I like" Nina said laughing her way to class.
