Chapter 1
Two girls watched as the train that they had just gotten off of left. There was no going back now, not that there was any going back after they boarded the plane to England. The two brunettes looked at each other with an excited look. As much as they were going to miss America, they were beyond excited to be here in England.
"This is it, Nina. We're really here." The smaller brunette said, the excitement practically bouncing in her hazel eyes. Nina laughed at her cousin, well sister, next to her, but shared her excitement if not more. The two were cousins, but grew up together since they were infants, so they were practically considered sisters. They looked a like as well, so it wasn't that far fetched of an idea.
"I know, Min. I'm so excited already." Nina said to her sister as they left to go wait for their cab in the parking lot. It wasn't a long wait for them out front, they passed the time by making sure that they both had everything that they needed. The smaller brunette sighed when she saw the huge American flag on her sister's bad. She didn't say anything, but settled for rolling her eyes at her sister.
Before they knew it a cab was driving up to them. "Nina, look." Her sister nudged her to look at the cab. Their excitement sky rocketed when the cab stopped in front of them. This was it. Once they got to the school, it would be real. They were really in England, going to an England boarding school, where no one would know them. It was a fresh start.
The cab driver stuck his head out of the car door, which the girls noticed was on the opposite side of where it would be if they were still in America, that was going to take a while to get use to. "Nina and Mina Martin?" He asked out to them. The girls shared a look before nodding, squeaking out a 'yes' on Nina's part. Some might find it weird that their parents would name them pretty much the same name, but they thought it was funny. Since they looked a like and were in the same grade, it was like they were twins. Some people actually thought that they were.
"That's us." Nina said to him with an excited little wave. Mina giggled at her sister's excitement.
"Oh, you two are American then?" The cab driver said to them as he got out of the car to help them with their bags. Nina looked at Mina confused, wondering how he knew that. Was it her accent? Mina giggled and shook her head. Her guess was that it was the big American flag on Nina's bag that gave them away.
"Yeah, how'd you know? Was it the accent?" Nina asked him.
"No. It was the big American flag on the suit case." He pointed out to her, causing Mina to giggle. Nina shot her a worried look as she gave the man a nervous laugh. Why hadn't Mina told her that it looked strange? It was obvious that she thought so before the man pointed it out.
"Oh, right, well." Nina said to him as she ripped the sticker off of her bag before he put them in the trunk of the car. "It's a little obvious. Not the best way to blend in, is it Mina?" She said to her sister nervously with a laugh. Mina just shook her head, smiling at the two the whole time. She knew that Nina wished that she had told her how stupid the flag looked.
"Alright then, jump in luvs." He said to the girls as he opened the car door for them before going to put their bags into the back. The girls shared a look before hopping into the back seat of the cab.
"Thanks a lot, Min. That was totally embaressing." Nina whispered to her sister as she buckled herself into the car. Mina just shook her head at her sister and giggled as she too buckled herself into the car.
"I thought that it was funny, Nina. Just laugh and relax. Take a breath, you don't want to scare anyone off with your excitement." Mina giggled to her sister. Nina shot her a look, but didn't get to say anything sine the cab driver chose then to come back into the cab. The girls giggled as they took off toward their new school.
"I can't believe that we're actually going to boarding school. I'm so excited. I feel like Harry Potter." Nina said to her, trying to get most of her over excitement out now before they actually got to the school. Mina just nodded and giggled to Nina, but her focus was on her phone in her hands. The cab driver noticed that Mina playing with her phone.
"Is that your parents checking up on ya?" He asked the younger girl. Mina looked up from her phone and smiled as she nodded. She showed Nina the text message, causing the other girl to smile as well.
"It's our Gran. She misses us already." Nina told the man as she watched Mina type away her part of the reply. Once she was done, she passed the phone over to Nina to type up her part of it.
"Our Gran brought us up. We . . . we've never been away from home before." Mina told the man, leaving out the part of why their Gran brought them up instead of either of their parents. Nina pressed the send button on Mina's phone and waited until it said that it had sent to give it back to her. The man noticed the sadness in the girl's voices.
"Oh, you two getting cold feet? Want me to turn this cab around?" He asked them, a hint of a smile on his face upon seeing them both brighten up instantly.
"No way. We're finally here. We're off to our new school. I'm siked, aren't you Min?" Nina said out to the other two in the car, looking at her sister to see if she felt the same. Mina smiled and nodded to Nina in agreement.
"Naturally." Mina smiled to her sister.
"Natually." The cab driver agreed with them, smiling when he saw the two girls giggling away in the back seat.
"And, I guess I am a little scared. The last time I felt like this? I threw up on our kindergarden teacher." Nina confessed, a worred expression appearing on her face. Mina just took a hold of her sister's hand and gave her a comforting squeeze. "Thanks, Min." She mouthed to her sister.
"Well, that might just be my driving." The cab driver told them as they drove along. The girls giggled and shared a look. If people at the school were as nice as this guy, they'd be having a lot of fun. The cab driver turned, looking out of the window to make sure that he got to the right place. "Okay, girls, we're here." He told them. They looked out of their windows and gasped at the sight before them.
"Wow." Nina gasped as she saw the school up ahead.
"It's a big place. Where do you two need to be? The same place I assume?" The cab driver slowed down, giving the girls a minute to look at their papers. Nina checked them both and saw that they were in the same house.
"Uh, it says here . . . that we're in the house of Anubis." Nina told him. He nodded and drove a bit faster again. The girls shared a look. This was it. They both stared at their surroundings as they drove to their boarding house. Nina saw two girls and a boy looking confused at the cab car as they got to the house. The cab soon came to a stop infront of what they guessed was the school. The girls got out once the cab came to a stop and took in the building.
"Wow." Nina said to herself as she saw how beautiful it all was. She looked at her sister, not surprised to see her looking at the land rather than the school. Mina had taken a liking to nature, unlike her sister who prefered to shop. "Welcome to Hogwarts." Nina said more to herself than to her sister. Mina looked at her and shook her head. Nina had an obsession with Harry Potter. Nina noticed first that the cab driver had already taken off toward the Anubis building. "Hey! Wait up!" Nina shouted out as she grabbed her sister's hand and pulled her along as they ran to catch up.
"Nina, look out!" Mina yelled out, but it was too late. Nina had ran into another girl. She is so not having a good day. Mina winced as she heard the impact of the two girls. She gave the other two a nervous wave as she dragged her stuttering sister along. The three stared after them confused.
"Who's the Americans?" The girl that Nina had run into asked her friends. The boy shrugged as the girls just watched the two's retreating forms. How odd was that? The three continued on, the shorter girl looking back the whole time. Something strange was going to happen, she could feel it in her gut.
The girls ran around the corner, Nina trying to dig out some money for the cab driver as they jogged to a stop at the front door. "Thank you." Nina smiled as she handed him the money. He said good bye as he left the girls behind. They smiled and waved before turning toward the house.
They gasped in awe. It was amazing. They shared a look before picking up their bags and heading up the stairs. They stopped at the porch and looked at the house. It looked so old but well taken care of. Nina went to open the door, but found that it was already open. "Hello?" They asked out, but found that no one was there to answer back. They shared a nervous look before heading inside.
