History seemed to be repeating itself only a day later when Scarlett was shaken awake, jumping out of her skin at the dark silhouette above her. She quickly calmed down when she realised it was only Eddie. She sighed, letting her arm fall and her body relax.
"Jesus, you're gonna give me a heart attack one of these days," she whispered, glancing at Mara and Patricia to make sure they were still asleep. "You know the drill."
Eddie nodded, following her into the girls ' bathroom, the pair sitting exactly where they had before.
"Alright, what was it this time? Another Frobisher dream?" She asked.
"Yeah. He was summoning something, I think. He mentioned devouring souls?"
"If he was summoning someone it's probably Ammut, she ate souls or something, and she was part lion, hippo, and crocodile," Scarlett told. "Her name means devourer of the dead."
"That doesn't make me feel any better," he informed. There was a beat between the two as both fought back sleep. "You're turning into Fabian with your Egypt knowledge, Granger."
Scarlett scoffed, smiling lazily, "Um, no, he's turning into me. I'm the original. He's the copy." She paused, moving over so she could take his hand. She let herself sit back on the floor, head resting on his leg. "How are you feeling?"
They no longer faced each other, but Eddie watched her carefully as she closed her eyes, head on his thigh. He watched her breath for a second before remembering she had spoken.
"Scared," he admitted.
"So am I." She breathed slowly, fluttering her eyes open to hold back sleep. "So is everyone in Sibuna. Eddie, you're not alone," she reassured, letting her thumb glide across his knuckle. "We're here for you. Plus anything that tries to mess with you messes with all of us. Nothing gets past me."
"Scarlett, I watched you try and do a pull-up once, I don't think you can take on Frobisher," Eddie quipped.
She laughed, "Hey, I can do a lot when I get angry."
"That's true. You did almost fight Victor."

They were gathered in Eddie and Fabian's room, discussing Eddie's vision with the rest of Sibuna. Eddie looked a mess, obviously exhausted. So was Scarlett but she had hidden it behind makeup and a lot of coffee. When he told them all that he sensed something bad would happen, Scarlett squeezed his shoulder. She found herself wanting to be close to him often and it scared her.
"Before that bad thing happens, we need to fix your hair, Jedward. It's a mess," Scarlett voiced. "You're not going to defeat evil looking like that."
"I'm tired, Granger," he defended.
"So am I, but I'm not going out with my hair sticking up everywhere, c'mon, give me your gel and I'll do it," she offered.
