The Great Return Of Arthur Penhaligon (First Keys to the Kingdom Fanfic)
Chapter 1
It had been 6 Years, Earth Time since The New Architect had returned Arthur to his home. Arthur was enjoying his life, he had moved out of his house and was living with Leaf and another friend of his Dan, they had been dating for a few months but decided it 'just wasn't working out' and now stayed close friends. Arthur only occasionally thought of the House and its demonises, the Denizens and Treacherous Trustees. He occasionally thought of calling the New Architect with the phone he had been given, just to see how everything was going, but decided it wasn't worth the risk of getting involved again.
Arthur was daydreaming in his room when Danny slammed open the door, "Muffin!" he called before hurling a Muffin across the room at him. Arthur caught it easily without moving, "Nice try Dan" he chuckled slightly before unwrapping the muffin. It was then when he heard the phone ring.
"Dan, get that will you?" he shouted at his flatmate, "Get what?" asked a confused Dan, poking his head round the door, "The phone you idiot!" he said getting up off his bed and walking past him the lounge room, "Its not ringing though?" Dan half asked half stated. Arthur picked up the receiver, nothing...
The Phone rang on
"Leaf?" she entered the lounge room, "Yeah?", "tell me you cant hear a phone ringing" Arthur pleaded, slowly realizing what he could hear. "Ah, yeah I can why?" She picked up the receiver and heard nothing. "Its not…" they both looked at Arthur's room, where the box with the Architects phone was kept.
Arthur slowly walked towards his room, Leaf followed, Dan just sort of hung awkwardly in the lounge room, finally deciding his roommates were being weird he left the flat and went for a walk.
Arthur picked up the box delicately, like it could explode at any second, slowly taking off the cover he looked at Leaf, "Could I just ignore it?" he asked, face full of uncertainty, "It might be serious" she replied, "He did promise to leave you alone". "I know, that's why I'm worried" He slowly picked up the receiver, hesitantly putting it up to his ear, "He-Hello?" he asked. "Arthur!" shouted the voice of Suzy Turquoise Blue, the line was terrible, "Come to the Ho –pfffhfhfht– The new architect –phhhffft- trouble –phhhfhffht- The front door- phhhhhhfffft- Broadwhich Park" then she hung up.
