"Finally!" Patricia huffed, as she broke the lock on the door. The door flung open, it was cracked as the wood was weak, but they were in.

"So..." Charlie hesitated, standing up from the rock he was sitting on, "We going in?"

"No, I just decided to bring you here, open the door, then leave," Patricia replied sarcastically, as she walked into the building.

"Well... That's kinda what you did earlier..." Charlie muttered, following Patricia into the library.

"Whatever," Patricia rolled here eyes, "Let's just get this key."

"And do you know where 'this key' is," He asked, putting air quotes around 'this key'.

"It's... Uh... This way," Patricia told him, walking over to the stair case.

"Okay then..." Charlie muttered, following her.

"Hey," Eddie said, dumping his bag down on the ground in his room.

"Hi," Mara muttered, looking up to see Eddie.

"What's wrong?" Eddie asked, sitting beside Mara.

"Someone has taken then watch and hieroglyphics," Mara breathed out.

"What?" Eddie panicked, "Who?"

"I have no idea," Mara shook her head, looking back down to her hands, which sat in her lap. Her eyes started to well up a little, both because of the watch and how she treated Fabian.

"Hey, Mara, it's fine, we'll find the watch, no doubt about it," Eddie spoke comfortingly, as he walked over to Mara, and sat beside her on the bed.

"Thanks," Mara smiled weakly, leaning on Eddie's shoulder, as he comfortingly hugged her.

"Does Fabian know?" Eddie asked.

"Yeah... He um... Told me," Mara told him.

"So, where is he?" Eddie asked.

"I might have, uhh... Annoyed him..." Mara hesitated, as a tear fell down from her left eye.

"How?" Eddie asked.

"Long story," Mara huffed, wiping her eye with the back of her hand.

"I have time," Eddie replied comfortingly.

"Well..." Mara began.

"Meet at 11pm," Vincent said over the phone to Lavender.

"Yeah, sure," Lavender replied, "I'll let Nina know."

"HELP!" Nina shouted, stumbling in to Eddie and Fabian's room, and collapsing on the floor.

"What's wrong?" Eddie gasped, standing up in shock.

"HELP! I-I-" Nina shouted in fake panic.

"What's happening?" Eddie panicked, "Mara get Fabian now!"

Mara then rushed out the room, stepping over Nina, "Fabian!" She shouted.

Eddie bend down on the floor beside Nina, "Nina what is happening?" He asked, trying to stay as calm as possible.

"I... Can't..." Nina breathed heavily.

****

"Fabian!" Mara repeated.

"What?" Fabian asked, annoyed, walking out the living room.

"It's Nina..." Mara stuttered, "She's collapsed in your and Eddie's room," She told him, breathing heavily.
