Chapter 17

Patricia's POV

Today was the day when we would start our steps to The Ceremony. KT had found out that there were three tasks for the Chosen One and the Osirian to do. We had made a list, we just needed to do them.

I wish my father was like Robert, and I wish I had a mother like Louisa. The Frobisher-Smythes are wonderful people, but unfortunately, they're not my parents. They're Sarah's. Sarah the Chosen One. My Cho-

"HE"S HERE!" Trudy yelled. Fabian hurried to put the diary back where he found it, and the boys ran downstairs. The other girls and I scurried into our rooms, and buried ourselves under our covers. I knew the words going through my head were probably going through everybody else's.
