Patricia's POV
"Victor's office," I say, blankly.
"What about his office?" Emma asks. I roll my eyes at her.
"Duh, where evil meets good shall be the place of a good?" I spit. "He's evil, we're good, the clue obviously is a good - good as in a product?" I snap my fingers.
"Oh… Oh my word, Trish! You're totally correct!" she scream-whispers.
"Then what're we waiting for?" Eddie speaks.
"Let's go," I say, heading towards the stairs.

In Victor's Office
"Hurry up!" I say. "I'll keep lookout," I say, before turning round.
"Trish, why do you always get the lookout job?" Emma pouted.
"Because you two are rather PATHETIC at making up some believable excuses," I snap, and motion with my hand for them to search.
.
"Ah, Jake!" I say suddenly, the others jumping behind me.
"Uh… Hi, Patricia… What're you doing here?" he looked behind me. "And them?" he questioned.
"I… Um… We… We were looking for my phone that Victor confiscated," I say, and smirk on the inside. There, that should've fooled him.
Ring ring. Ring ring.
Fuc*. I groan. My phone rings, yea, mine. Jake looks at me and lets out a laugh.
"He confiscated it and put it in a safe hiding place, didn't he?" he said sarcastically.
"Whatever. Why are you up here anyways?" I questioned, hoping we wouldn't go back to my situation.
"I… I dunno… Some sort of… force? It sorta pulled my up here… I was on my laptop in my room, and it just… you know… made me walk here… It was like my brain had no control over my body," he says, cocking his head slightly.
"Oh my word…" Emma says behind me. "Patricia, is it possible that Jake is the… The…" she starts, without breaking eye contact with Jake.
"The what, Emma?" I snap.
"The Beschermer?" she said, with wide eyes.
"No… no… he can't be…" I mutter.
"Why not? I mean, Eddie is your Osirian, after all…" she says. Oh gosh, she could be right…
"Excuse me?" Eddie said. "The what? I know I'm the Osirian, but the Bes- what?" he asks with a very confused face.
"Jake, what-"
"Hush, Emma," I cut her off. Then, I turned to Eddie.
"Okay, so there is The Chosen One, that's me. I'm destined to 'save the world'. Then next, we have you, the Osirian. You, are The Chosen One's protector. That's why you're MY protector. Then finally, we have the Beschermer - Dutch for protector. That person, is The Chosen One AND the Osirian's protector," I finish. Eddie looks like I just said my whole speech in Dutch.
"So… he's OUR protector?" he asked, giving me that are-you-kidding face.
"Possibly..."
"Gosh…" he said, running his hand through his hair.
"Okay… I've got NO bloody idea why I was even 'pulled' up here, and now you guys are talking about The Chosen One, the Osirian and the Beschermer?" he asked, looking at Eddie and I with a straight face.
"Wait Jake. We only said those things once - how did you remember the terms, especially 'Beschermer'?" I say, pulling a face.
"Um… I have a thing for memory…" he said, blushing. I quickly turn to Emma and whisper something. She gasps, nods, and walks towards Jake.
"Okay Jake. We're going to see if you are the real Beschermer," she says. He only nods.
"If you are, you should know the answer to this without even your body knowing you had that knowledge inside you. Ready?" she says. He nods again.
"The Chosen One was born in what month, what day, what date, and what time?" she asks. Now, Jake knew when I was born, like what month and day and all, but not what time.
"The seventh of July, at seven o'clock on a Sunday morning," he replies without hesitation. He gasps at his own answer.
"Wow…" I mutter under my breath. Eddie comes round and hugs me from behind, and mutters something in my ear. Not that I was listening…
"Okay. Second question. What would the Osirian's personality be like, compared to the Chosen One's?" she asks. She wasn't making these up - we had found them in one of our clues.
"Um… The Osirian would usually be the opposite gender, with a completely different personality, usually, once again, opposite," he says, and gasps once again at his answer.
"Okay. Third and final question," Emma starts. "What is the title given, where the darkest time for the world approaches?" she asked with a blank facial expression.
"The Hour of Glass," he automatically said, then frowned.
"Okay," she says to him, and turned to me. "Looks like we have our Beschermer," she said, grinning.
"Wow…" I say, after a long sigh. It was quite a surprise to me, since he was the 'straight-A'.
"So… What exactly is this whole thing?" Jake asked.
I explained what I had explained to Eddie when he found out.
Shi*, what a day…
