The hallways were completely empty as Nina and Eddie made their way to Mr. Sweet's office. They were both determined to find the scroll with the inscription that Eddie had found doing his first visit to his father's office. With the scroll in their position, they would be one step closer to understanding this mystery, but what Eddie thought most of all was how his dad was connected. He had no knowledge of his father's attempted evil schemes, still if his father was behind this he wouldn't hesitate to stop him.

AS they approached the door Nina looked in each direction, making sure they weren't seen when they entered the office, but as she turned the knob she found the door was locked.

"It's locked" she said to Eddie. "How are we going to get in?"

Eddie didn't have to answer her question as he went through Nina's hair looking for a bobbin pin. Within seconds he was able to found one and make quick work of the door, opening it revealing Mr. Sweet's office.

"After you" he said gesturing to Nina.

"What a gentleman" Nina said walking into the office turning on the lights. "I didn't know you knew how to pick a lock" she said to Eddie.

"Yeah I learn it from Will. He loved breaking and entering" Eddie smiled.

"Well the business we're in would be perfect for him" Nina laughed. When is he getting to Anubis House?"

"Soon I guess. Dad hasn't told me when".

"Ok. So what does this scroll look like?" Nina asked.

"I don't know old. "You'll know it when you see it."

"How do you think this is all connected? Are we suppose to do something? Find something?"

"I don't know becoming the Osirian didn't come with a manual" Eddie laughed.

"Neither did becoming the Chosen One" Nina added. "Still within time things started to make sense.

"And there about to make sense yet again" Eddie said finding the scroll underneath a pile of books.

Eddie and Nina looked to the scroll with interested eyes.

"It looks so fragile" Nina said.

"Here is the symbol" Eddie said pointing carefully.

They both examined the scroll that showed the golden circle. Within the cracked circle were the gender signs for male and female on different sides of the circle. Below the signs were two hard to identify objects that seemed to had be smudged out. Within seconds of looking at the circle, the inscription that Eddie had seen before started to write its self once again.

"Here's the inscription I saw before" Eddie said as Nina began to read.

"Here now all who seek the object that sits at the peak? Through the maze you must go, to receive the gift of the darkness bow."

"What it didn't say that last part when I first saw it" Eddie said surprised

"Maybe it changed or you read it wrong. I mean your father did come in and interrupt you" Nina said.

"Maybe" Eddie continued reading where Nina left off. "No single male or female will succeed, but together their goals will be achieved. With bow in hand they will see, that the union is all they need. Once their union is bled, will they find the Rod of the Dead?"

"What is the Rod of the Dead?" Nina asked.

"I don't know. What is the darkness bow?"

"Through the maze you must go to receive the gift of the darkness bow. Is it talking about the tunnels? Is there something else down there? Nina asked.

"I don't think the tunnels are the maze the inscription talks about" Eddie said. "Here at the beginning. "Here now all who seek the object that sits on the peak?" "A peak is high up, so maybe this maze is going to take us up so I doubt the tunnels are involved."

"This is so confusing" Nina said scratching her head.

"Should we tell the other?" Eddie asked.

"No. I don't want to endanger their lives. It's just you and me for the time being. Besides we may not understand the inscription entirely, but like I said before I think I know where the next clue is."

"Where?" Eddie asked.

"The mirror I received from Trudy's friend. That is how I received the items and the first clue says "Open when you come face to face with yourself" so whatever is in this envelope won't appear until I'm in front of the mirror."

"But is this a good" Eddie stopped as the lights in the office went off.

"Eddie, did you turn off the lights?" Nina asked.

"No" Eddie answered.

The Chosen and the Osirian moved closer together, back to back so they had eyes on each side. Unfortunately they both were unaware of the Black & Purple mist gathering beneath them. A huge gust of wind started to blow from out of nowhere, howls and screams echoed throughout the office, the two were fearfully for their lives. Through all the chaos Nina's locket began the glow along with Eddie's amulet his father gave him. Whatever was happening they knew that they were in trouble.

"My locket" Nina said. "It's glowing.

"So is my amulet" Eddie yelled. "What does this mean?"

"I don't know" Nina yelled back.

The howls, screams, and wind that blew ceased as the mist grew in size appearing in front of Nina and Eddie. They both coward in fear unprepared for what was coming next. That fear was all that Eddie needed to attack. He stood in front of Nina protectively and focused, chanting a spell from one of the books his father gave him with great speed. AS Nina watched Eddie's lips move rapidly she noticed a small ball of light gathering in Eddie's hands. AS the ball of light grew so did the mist. The mist was growing so much that it towered over the two. Nina's heart was racing, but within time Eddie's spell was complete. In Eddie's hands hovered a medium size ball of energy that he hoped would destroy the Black & Purple mist.

"Stand back" he told Nina as he threw the energy ball right at the mist.

The ball hit its target disintegrating the mist into nothing. No sounds came from the mist, it just disappeared. The lights in the office came on and the locket and amulet the glowed dimmed to lightless objects. The Osirian had protected the Chosen One. They were safe.

"Eddie" Nina said.

Eddie turned around and smiled like nothing had happened.

"That was amazing Eddie. You saved us."

"I did didn't I. I don't know how but I did" Eddie smiled hugging Nina tightly.

The hug lasted longer than needed and as they both pulled away their faces moved as if a kiss was beginning to happen. Both of their faces froze, eyes locked with each other still no one moved in or out of the potential kiss. Something was happening between them, but they didn't know what. It was Nina who broke the hug and laughed it off.

"We better get out of here" she said taking the scroll and putting it in her bag.

"Right" Eddie said a little disorientated heading to the door with Nina.

AS they both approached the door they were surprised to see the Black & Purple mist blocking their way. The mist had changed from before. When it first appeared before them a few minutes ago it appearance was just mist that was haunting. Now the mist had taken shape, it had taken human form. On the outside its body was all black, while purple sparkles swam inside it's body. For a face it had no nose or ears just a small mouth and a pair of black eyes. Nina and Eddie were stunned from what they were seeing, but once again Eddie was ready to fight. To his surprised the mist grabbed the doorknob revealing an empty hallway and smiled at them both. Nina and Eddie looked confused. What was the mist planning?

"Nina" Eddie said. "Go now."

Nina looked to Eddie and then to the mist before slowly making her way out of the office. Eddie was the next to leave the office, but still his eyes never left the mists. AS Eddie was safe in the hallway looking at the mist that still stood in Mr. Sweet's office Eddie started to feel something. Eddie stood unafraid of the mist, but something about it was familiar, but Eddie couldn't remember how.

"Come on Eddie, I know you could have done better than that" the mist said with a smile that closed Mr. Sweet's office door with great focus.

Eddie stood in the halls eyes wide, frozen in shock. Those words meant something to him, but what was it?
