Chapter 2

"Dying?" Eddie asked the word barely escaping is mouth. "You look like Nina, you know, well and alive Nina. " he moved his hands in front of her, pushing them up and down her silhouette of her body, to exaggerate his point.

Nina rolled her eyes. She had almost forgotten that she never told Eddie what it meant when it meant to be god-chosen counterparts. "Eddie, when a spirit is exerted from someone, it has to be put into someone else. You're no longer my Osirian, Eddie. But no one else can be, that means both the counterparts need to lose the spirit for the legacy to live on."

Eddie nodded but he still wasn't catching on. "Okay but the Osirian left me, but I'm not dying. Why are you?"

"The spirit was put into you, I was born with it. For you to pull the spirit of Amneris from me, you'd be pulling my soul from me. Do you know what happens to bodies without souls? They die because they no longer have working systems." Eddie nodded again.

"Okay. I think that I understand. How do we stop it?"

"That's the hard part. We have to get Osiris to put in back in you." He looked at her like she had four heads.

"Osiris? As in the god?" He looked at her with one eyebrow raised like that was the stupidest thing she had ever said.

"Do you know another one?" She asked sarcastically. Glancing at Eddie's face, he still looked at her like she took a overdose of the crazy pills this morning. "Look, Eddie, we've done things that could get us killed, and faced people who were dead set in killing us. This isn't saving anyone but me, so say no if you're not up to it, but Eddie, compared to the other adventures we've had, this should be easy. "

Surprisingly, he didn't even hesitate when he said okay.

Mara looked at Fabian, no emotion showing on her face. Maybe he couldn't see it, (He was very oblivious to things like this.) but Mara happened to like him very much. Before this year, she hadn't thought much of him; he was always surrounded by either Nina or Joy, who both fought for his attention. Now both of those girls were out of her way, and she learned that Fabian was a really cool guy. But now, when she finally had him under her hands, right where she wanted him, he was pulled out of her grasp.

"Okay." She said calmly. Fabian eyed nervously. "Okay? That's it? You're not gonna try and kill Nina in her sleep, right?" After hearing him say that, she had to fight the urge to slap him. What was she? Some type of obsessive man-slaughter-er? "No. What? Do you want me to break down in tears and beg you stay with me? Is that the type of person you think I am?"

Fabian took a step back and raised his hands in surrender. "No! I just….I really liked you; I thought you shared the same feelings."

"But you didn't like me enough, not to throw that to the wind the second you saw her?" He opened his mouth to say something but she cut him off. "You know what? Whatever. We wouldn't have worked anyway." And with that she turned and walked on her heel back into the gym.

While walking back she couldn't help but think that she really wasn't cut out for romance. No matter what guy she dated, they chose something over her. Mick chose Australia, Jerome chose both of her best friends over her and now Fabian chose Nina.

…No. Mara can't just give up on love. Maybe she was too much of pushover, maybe she needed to fight. Mara was going to Oxford. She didn't know why just yet, but she felt like Yale was no longer her dream. She was going to prove that she couldn't just be left and pushed to the side.

Fabian watched Mara walked away before walking over to Eddie and Nina, who immediately silenced their conversation once his face came into view. Suspicion washed over his brain, and questions filled his mind. Fabian tried to push the thoughts away for the time being. It really wasn't the time for arguments on what they were talking about.

Fabian put his hands around her waist pulling her towards him almost possessively, but neither Eddie nor Nina seemed to notice.

"So, I'll call you?" Eddie asked. Nina nodded and Eddie left saying he was going to find Patricia.

After waiting until Eddie was gone Fabian and Nina started to walk away. "So how'd it go with Mara?" Nina asked once they got outside.

"Um, not liked I hoped. She was kinda mad." Nina laughed.

"Well that's to be expected. You are pretty awesome guy." Fabian smiled at her comment bent to kiss her temple.

"So, Nina, I wondering of you would spend summer break with me. You know, so we can get to know each other again."

Nina's smile was wiped of her face, and looked at Fabian apologetically. "Um, I was going to spend break with Eddie and Patricia." Seeing the look of disappointment flash over his features she wasn't sure she wanted to stay with Eddie anymore. "But I can cancel, if you want."

"No it's fine N-," She leaned up to kiss him. When she pulled away a small smile graced her features. "You're my boyfriend and I'm spending the next three months with you, whether you like it or not." She said defiantly.

Fabian smiled down at her, well, more at her choice of words.

Boyfriend.

"Are you serious?! You couldn't have said no?" Eddie yelled. Nina moved the phone from her ear in fear of Eddie blowing her eardrum. "First of all Eddie, quiet down, and second of all, he's my boyfriend, what was I supposed to say? 'No babe. I'm going to spend holiday with your best friend instead?"

"Not in those words, but yes. Nina this is your life in the line here. That line will get thinner each day we aren't working our asses trying to find a way to save you. Just because I'm not your protector anymore, doesn't mean I'm not your friend. If this Amber or anyone else, they would be saying the same thing. Six months are all we have Nina."

Nina knew he was right. She needed to think about the bigger picture here. What would Fabian do if she died or Amber? Or anyone of her friends?

So if she knew that Eddie right why did she still want to spend these next few months with Fabian?

"I'm sorry Eddie. I love him too much to say no. He wants to spend this time with so that's what gonna happen." Before Eddie could protest she hung up her phone and walked out of the guest room and bumped right into Fabian. His hands flew to her hips and pulled her closer to him.

"Well hello there." He said laughing. Nina took their position as a chance to kiss him. With how tall he had gotten she had to stand on the very tip of her toes before he relieved her of her burden by picking her up and raveling his arms around her to keep her in place and kissing her softly. She smiled into the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck. Nina pulled away from and noticed his happy smile. "What?" He pecked her cheek. "It's just feels really good to have in my arms again." He kissed her lips. "And to kiss you again." He added with grin playing on his lips.

Just Nina leaned up again, they could hear the door opening and Fabian's parents talking. He set her down and smiled. "Well, they're here."

Eddie ran his hands through his hair and turned around to find his girlfriend standing in the doorway. "What happened to you?" Patricia asked walking up to him and putting her hands on his biceps.

"Just some… family problems. You don't need to worry about it."

"Okay but you know you can always come to me right?" Eddie smiled at Patricia and leaned to whisper "I know." before pulling her in for a deep kiss.

Patricia pulled away first, cradling Eddie's face in both of her hands. "How about we go out? I'll even let you take me to a restaurant." She offered, hoping to make him feel better. He nodded and kissed her again as a thank you.

Patricia looked down at her pajamas and told him she was going to get changed, before walking away.

"Hello? Is this the Yale applicant office?" Mara asked into her phone?

"Yes it is ma'am. How can I help you?" The lady on the other line said politely.

"My name is Mara Jaffrey and I got accepted a few months ago-,"

"Oh, congratulations ma'am."

"Thank you, but I'm calling to withdraw my spot."

"Are you sure? Yale is an amazing school."

"I'm sure."

"Okay, I will take you off the roster for new students. I hope you have a swell night."

"Thank you, goodnight."

Mara hung up the started her car. It was official; Mara was giving up her dream school on a whim.

She hoped that something good would come out of this, or she would never listen to her heart again. Her brain gad gotten her this far, she could only hope that the one time she didn't listen to it, would get her further.
