Hello people! Guess what? I haven't disappeared off of the face of the earth! I've just been so busy with exams and all, and I've had huge writer's block lately. So, to make up for my two-month-long break, I've written up you lovely's another story! That's right, a brand new story. You're welcome! You can thank me in your reviews. (:
Disclaimor (Is that how you spell it? Yes, I've been gone that long o.O) : I do not own House Of Anubis. (I sounded robotic there!)
"Nina be careful!" a voice cried as I stepped closer to the edge. I pressed my back against the cool, slick rock and squinted my eyes shut as I put my right foot in front of me, edging me closer to the end. Slowly, I opened one eye to reveal a three hundred foot drop leading to a small stream. I took in a sharp breath and backed up till I hit rock.
"We're running out of time!" I heard Patricia yell frantically.
"I can't do this!" I cried and shook my head, holding back tears.
"Ten more seconds!" Patricia screamed.
"Nina, you can do this. You'll wake up and everything will be fine," I heard Fabian's soothing voice say.
"But it won't," I muttered to myself and jumped.
...
Amber Millington awoke to the birds chirping right outside her window. Smiling, she took off her night mask and neatly placed it on her night stand. She swung her legs off the side of the bed and let out a happy sigh. She stood and danced over to Nina's bed; which was a big lump.
"Nina, it's time to wake up! We have school!" she exclaimed and threw the blanket off of Nina's head, revealing two pillows.
Amber scoffed. 'She left for school without me,' she thought to herself.
Then, she danced into her closet to find her uniform and get ready.
After finshing straightning her hair, she unplugged it and examined herself closly in the mirror.
Feeling accomplished, she smiled and flipped her hair over her shoulder.
"The world is going to have to take on another day of me, Amber Millington," she said to herself as she stood and skipped out of the room.
Once she reached the bottom of the stairs, she noticed Nina wasn't there. Confused, she sat down in her usual spot and spoke. "Has anyone seen Nina?" she asked as she grabbed a bowl and spoon.
"I thought she was still sleeping," Fabian said as he walked in from the kitchen with a bowl of cereal in his hand.
Amber narrowed her brow. "She was gone."
Patricia shrugged and grabbed the cereal box. "She must of gone to school early, she tends to do that a lot."
All eyes fell on her. "What?" she asked.
"No rude remark or anything?" Jerome chuckled and grabbed his own bowl and spoon.
"We're friends now," Patricia said and passed the cereal to Alfie.
Jerome laughed louder. "That's funny."
"She did save our lives," Patricia pointed out. The room fell silent.
"Pass the cereal," Joy said quietly, filling in the silence. Alfie gave it to her and she poured some in her bowl.
"So, why do you think Nina's off to school so early?" Fabian asked, getting back on the topic of Nina. He was worried about her, he just didn't want to admit it.
Alfie was about to grab his spoon full of cereal, but he accidentally bumped it, causing it to fly in the air.
Amber shrugged, staring at the spoon flying in the air, landing somewhere behind Alfie. "Maybe she had a paper due."
"But-"
"Fabian, just drop the subject. She's fine. You worry about her way to much," Patricia exclaimed.
Fabian blushed a deep red and nodded. "You're right. But still, what if she went missing?"
Everyone stole a glance at Joy. She looked up from her cereal innocently. "What? Ok, it might seem like I hate her, but I wouldn't kill her or anything."
That earned a weak laugh from Jerome.
The teens arose from the table, and set the bowls in the sink. Then, they were off to school.
...
I woke up in a dark place. I couldn't see anything, nor hear anything.
"Hello?" I asked softly, waiting for a response. No reply.
How had I gotten here? I closed my eyes, like that would help with darkness, and tried to think of what happened.
I remember sitting on my bed.
...
The room was silent, Amber was sleeping soundly on her side, facing away from me. I was quietly reading my book, or should I say Fabian's old book, who had lent it to me. I flipped to the next page, and I heard a knock on the window. Thinking it would be just the branches of the tree, I went back to reading. Next thing I knew, I was being dragged out of the house, my vision blurred. The last thing I remember was calling out Fabian's name, and then being drawn into darkness.
...
I gripped my head. I had a huge headache. I pulled my hand away, it was wet. Had I been sweating? I couldn't see my hand, but I could smell it.
And that smell was very familiar.
Blood.
...
Fabian kept stealing glances at the empty seat next to him, tapping his pencil anxiuosly on his desk. Nina still hadn't showed, and now he was desperate to know where she had disappeared to. He turned and caught Patricia and Joy's attention. His eyes flickered to the door, letting them know that they'd make a run for it when he gave the que. They nodded once. He sent his thumb behind him, motioning for them to tell Alfie and Jerome, and for them to tell Amber. Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on Fabian, waiting for the que. When Mrs. Andrew's turned to write something on the board, he counted down on his fingers. 3... 2... 1... They all hopped out of their seats, grabbing their stuff, and made a run for it. As they were running down the hall, they heard Mrs. Andrew's distant calls, but ignored them.
Fabian turned the corner, heading straight for the girls bathroom. Jerome slowed down to a stop, as did everyone else.
"There is no way," Jerome inhaled and exhaled deeply. "I'm going in there."
"Ok, we have about ten seconds before Mrs. Andrew's comes and finds us. You can either stay out here and get detention, or you can stop being a wuss and get in here. Besides, rumor has it you've been in here before."
Jerome glared at him, but Patricia caught him by surprise by grabbing his wrist and pulling him in the bathroom when she heard footsteps.
Jerome could hear Mrs. Andrew's heels click against the tile as she walked passed the restroom.
Once Mrs. Andrews was defenitely gone, Fabian spoke. "Guys, something's defenitely wrong. Nina still hasn't shown."
Worried glances spread across the room.
"Where could she of gone? She couldn't of gone far, she's only been gone since last night, right?" Joy asked.
Amber nodded. "She was on her bed reading a book when I fell asleep."
"Then there's only one person that could have done something to her in one night." they all exchanged looks, and all at once they spoke.
"Victor."
Er... How was that? Sorry if it seemed confusing at the beginning, it'll all make sense soon, I promise! Oh, and for my other story Babysitting, I'm thinking about deleting it. I've lost all inspiration for it, unless one of you would like to give me ideas? (: It would make me extra happy if you could review! All you have to do is hit the review button. 2 or more reviews for a new chapter! If you can not see it, I'll help you. It's right...
There!
