Charlie's POV
"So what do we do now?" I asked spinning on my heel, to look at the Library. "I mean, what like, do we do here?"
"Well" Nina turned to face me. "You wait here while we get you something. Have a look around if you want, but be warned, it's all boring ancient stuff"
"Okay" A frown crept across my face and I gazed at Amber. "But why can't I come?"
"Because Slimeball" Patricia screwed up her face. "You don't have one of these" She pulled out a washed out amulet. It had a pattern engraved into it, but it was worn out too much to make out what it was.
"How about you get me one then" I challenged her.
She turned around to face me and gave me a death look, I felt like I should have regretted saying that, but I didn't, I was actually pleased with myself.
"What did you say" She walked towards me. "Go on, or are you to chicken to say it to my face?"
I looked at all of my Housemates that were here, there faces said it all, that I should just say sorry and give up. But I wasn't like that, If it's one thing that I learnt from my Dad, it was that I should stick up for myself, not let others trample all over me.
"I said" I stood up and got in her face. "How about you get me one then"
"Whatever" She shook her head and picked up her bag. "I'm going to find Eddie. And whatever happened to just us you know? When did this happen?" She pointed towards me. "When did we start letting people like him in?"
With that, she paced out of the room, holding her phone to her ear.
"Sorry about that" Nina put her hand on my arm. "Patricia can be, well Patricia sometimes"
"No worries" I grinned at her. "I don't let people like her get in my face and boss me around"
"Glad to hear it" She watched Patricia leave, slamming the door behind her. "I know-."
"Now, don't waste your time on me" I put my finger on her lips. "Go and do what you got to do, I'll look around for a while"
She nodded and let go of my arm and ran off in the other direction. I didn't turn to look at her. I had someone else to deal with.
Rosalina's POV
I started to peek around the desk I was behind. Charlie was talking with Nina, but they were quiet, so I couldn't hear them. I pulled myself back around and held my breath, trying to hear what they were saying. All I could hear was Charlie's deep voice mumbling something that sounded like 'Let people like her get in my face' was he talking about Amber? But I thought he liked me? Guys can be so confusing.
I pulled out my phone to check what time it was. It was 5:16. Great, I have two things to worry about now. One being Charlie, I was scared that I would lose him to all of them, and I would be left on my own. And the second being Jerome, We have a study date at 5:20. Cancel on Charlie, or cancel Jerome? But what will happen if he didn't-.
"What're you doing?" Charlie caught me off guard. "Why are you here?"
"I followed you" I averted his gaze. "I guess I wanted to know what you're getting up to. Not just this whole 'club' thing you have going on, about Amber as well. I saw you two earlier, in the clearing"
"You did?" He sat down. "Look, I just got you back; I don't want to lose you again. Not to Jerome, not to Amber. We're just friends as far as I'm concerned, she just assumes that-."
"Shut up" I interrupted him and pulled him into a hug. "I believe you, okay? You don't need to make up a speech about it. Let's have a look around, you might not be interested in all this ancient stuff, but I am"
Charlie's POV
Rosie ran off looking at all of the relics in awe.
"Rosie" I put my hand on her shoulder. "It's just a piece of really, really old junk"
"It's not just that" She turned and stepped towards me. "It's magical. To think that this was around during Ancient Egypt, it's just really fascinating"
"Whatever" I smiled at her.
I put my arms around her waist and stared into her stunning aquamarine eyes. They shined in the ray of sunlight that came through the closed blinds.
"Rosie?" I whispered in her ear.
"Yeah" She smiled at me laughing slightly.
"I'm thinking something, it'll change something I truly value" I breathed down her neck.
"What's that?" She breathed unsteadily.
"Are you sure you want to know?" I smiled and pulled back to look at her stunning face once more. She didn't say anything but nodded her head slowly.
"Well…" I pulled apart, but we were still pretty close. "Tag! You're it"
She ran after me, and was quite close to catching me to be honest. I basically jumped up the spiralled staircase in five long strides, she wasn't too far away, but the staircase gave me an advantage ahead of her. I sprinted down the long corridor surrounded by more boring relics. I kept running but whipped my head around, to see how far away she was. But strange enough, she wasn't there? Until I was taken down to the ground by a familiar beautiful girl, I hadn't realised that she outsmarted me and went the opposite way to me.
She was sat on top of my chest.
"Tag" She was panting for breath, not as much as me though. "You're it now"
"Funny-." I couldn't manage to speak properly, gasping for air.
"Wow, you run out of breath easily?" She laughed, already back on her feet. I just nodded.
"No way!" She was open mouthed and gawked at something.
"What's-, what's up?" I could only just manage to spit out a few words.
"This" She shook her head. "This is a crown back from Ancient, Ancient Egypt. It belonged to 'The forgotten ruler' what was her name? Oh if I paid that last bit of attention in class"
"Was it Senkhara?" I asked her and grasped her hand.
"Yes it is Senkhara" She looked at me and furrowed her eyebrows. "How did you know?"
"I Googled 'The forgotten Ruler' and it said Senkhara" I smiled at her and we both started laughing.
She looked at me, with wide open eyes. We both started to lean in until I noticed a black shadowy figure in the corner of my eye.
"What?" She averted my gaze.
"Oh don't worry it's nothing" I looked behind her and the figure was gone. "Now where were we?"
"I think I might know" She winked at me and we both started to lean in again.
"Thank you" A conniving voice sparked from out of nowhere and started to laugh, as it interrupted us, a few centimetres away from our lips interlocking.
"Who are you?" I shouted at the voice. "I know you're here, so why don't you show yourself?"
"Now, now" The voice laughed again. "No need to be rude, all you need to do is ask" A dark, fading figure appeared between me and Rosie.
"What are you?" I shouted at it.
"It is Senkhara" Rosie whispered out of the side of her mouth.
"DO NOT WHISPER" Senkhara shouted at her.
"Hey" I punched it, but my fist went straight through her. "Leave her alone- whoa!"
"Silly Human" She smiled and laughed at me. "Now you must pay for disrupting me and slowing down the chosen one" Did she say the Chosen One, wait wasn't that Nina?
I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn't I stood there, petrified, glued to the spot. Senkhara's hands started to glow red then purple then back to red. A huge fireball formed in her hands. Rosie shivered and looked away, but I couldn't. She made the fire engulf her crown and it glowed a bright gold.
"Now you" She screamed at Rosie. "Pick up my crown"
Rosie stood there, wide eyed. She tried to scream, but nothing came out.
"PICK IT UP!" Senkhara shouted at her. She then mumbled something under her breath and it was if Rosie was compelled to follow her demands.
"Rosie" She started walking towards the crown. "What're you doing?"
"Now throw it at the floor" Senkhara made a noise that sounded like a snake. It was actually pretty creepy.
But as Rosie was ignoring me and listening to it, she fulfilled Senkhara's need and threw it at the floor. It obliterated into thousands of shards and one of them landed on my head.
"Rosie!" My vision started to blur.
"Charlie" She fell to the floor. "What Happened-?" She passed out, after a few seconds, I did the same.
