Nina Martin's POV
I sit down in silence for a while, thinking about what Sarah has told me. I then remember that I'm not wearing the Eye of Horus necklace anymore. How can I pass the necklace to the next chosen one if I did not have the necklace? Fabian notices my silence, and so he asks, "Is there something wrong, Neens?" "Yeah, Fabian. But we can't talk about it here. Can we head to the guest room?" I give him the look. "Okay, Nina. Let's go."
We head upstairs toward the guest room and I make sure the door is closed behind me. Fabian asks, "What seems to be the problem, Nina?" I hesitate, but reply, "It's Sarah." "Sarah, as in old woman Sarah?", Fabian asks. I nod, adding, "She told me to pass the Eye of Horus necklace to the next chosen one, but I forgot to take it.", I tell him, a little bit distraught about it. I expected him to be troubled, but then he smiled. I couldn't tell why he was smiling, but when he brought out something from his pocket, I realized why. He was holding the Eye of Horus necklace." I run to him and give him a hug, "You're a life-saver, Fabian. Thank you!" "You're welcome Nina." We stay in an embrace for a while before Fabian asks, "Well, do you know who the next chosen one is?" "No, not really. She just told me that I will feel a connection." "Okay, Nina."
We stay in the room for a while thinking about some stuff, until we hear a knock on the door. I open it to find Poppy. "Afternoon snack is ready, guys. Just come down when you're ready." She smiles at us, then heads down to the dining room. We follow shortly after to find Trudy, Poppy, Hunter and Judelyn sitting on the dining chairs. As we were about to eat the snack, which was brownies, the door opens and the other two students staying in the house, Steve and Stephanie enter the house. When they see the brownies, they immediately toss their bags aside and sit on their places around the table.
We start eating the brownies, which were delicious as always, while Stephanie greets us. "Hello! We don't get a lot of visitors here, so it's an occasion if someone visits. Kindly introduce yourselves to us." Fabian starts, "Hi, my name is Fabian Rutter, and this is my fiancée Nina Martin. We're here to visit the old place. Nice to meet you,…" "Oh, the name's Stephanie. Nice to meet you too, Fabian and Nina. So you stayed here before?" I reply, "Yes. Yes we did stay here before." The guy named Steve spoke next, "Cool. What were you guys like back then?" "Well, I was a new student here when I first arrived, and Fabian was my first friend.", I replied. "You could say that.", Fabian adds. We chat more, while eating the brownies and before long, all the brownies were gone.
I was still wondering about the connection Sarah whispered about a while ago when the students started to head to their rooms. I still did not know who the next chosen one is, as I did not feel any connection at all. That was the case until everyone headed to the rooms, except for us and Stephanie, who was still having a conversation. Then I felt my senses start to tingle, and I wondered if Stephanie was the chosen one. I stand up and walk closer to her, while the tingling feeling became stronger. I touch her, just to make sure that she was indeed the chosen one, and I did feel the connection.
Stephanie Caldwell's POV
When the visitor Nina touched me, I got a weird feeling inside that I could not explain. It was like something has been placed into my shoulders, but there was nothing at all. Nina hands me a necklace, saying, "Chosenone, it's your turn to hold this necklace. Keep it safe, and never give it to anyone else." I'm confused. What did she mean by chosen one? Chosen for what? And why was I feeling weird?
"Chosen for what?", I ask Nina, puzzled as to why she was telling me about this. But she just replied, "I can't tell you, Stephanie. You will figure it out yourself. Just wear the necklace, okay?" I look at the necklace she handed me, and it looked cool, I guess. So I decided to wear the necklace, and I head up towards my room, feeling a little uncomfortable about what just happened. I just felt a little freaked out, that's all.
As I enter my room and close the door, I think about what Nina just said about me being the chosen one and keeping the necklace safe and all that. Why? Why me? What was I chosen for? I could not understand what she meant by that. I decide to take a nap to get my mind off things.
I wake up in a forest clearing, with Nina and a very old woman talking about something. I could hear them talking about something about the chosen one finding a key of some sort, and as they spot me, they say, "Chosen one!", repeatedly, their voice fading as they were turning into what seemed to be spirits of some kind, and I hear them talking to each other, "The chosen one has failed in her task! Anubis is angry, and has decided to take lives. Then something huge with a dog's head appeared, replacing Nina and the old woman, saying in a terrifying voice, "Do not fail in your quest, lest there be consequences you will not forget." The man with a dog's head walked closer to me and was about to step on me, so I screamed.
I open my eyes, then I realized it was all a dream.,, A horrible dream. And I did not understand any of it. Just then someone knocks on the door. "Come in!", I say as Judelyn opens the door and looks at me. "Steph? What's wrong? You seem terrified! I thought you were hurt. I heard you scream, so I ran here as soon as I can." "Thanks, Judelyn. It was just a dream… Nothing's wrong."
Steve also enters my room, concern on his face. "What happened, Steph?" I force a smile. "It's just a bad dream, Steve." He sighs in relief, "That's great news. I thought you were hurt or something. It's going to be fine, Stephanie. I'm here.", he assures me. Shortly after, they leave my room at my request to give me space to think about the dream. I decide to ask Nina about it later. She might know about this.
What do you think? Sorry. I did not feel great writing this chapter, but I still hope you like it. I'm not that motivated writing this story, so there is a chance that I may not finish this story.
