House of Anubis Season 4
House of Reunions
Touchstone of Ra never happened. The kids return for their 4th term at the mysterious British Boarding School. After Ammut has been defeated, Rufus Zeno being banished to the underworld along with Senkhara, and Caroline Denby's destruction, the kids of Anubis are finally looking forward to a normal year. Unknown though an ancient evil is about to be unleashed.
"Amun! Beware Amun!" An armored figure with fiery red eyes loomed over him. His skin was green and reptilian. His hands, no they were claws, reached towards him. The figured smiled revealing grotesque fang-like teeth.
Words began to come out of the creature's mouth,"I will rise!"
"Kid!" someone yelled, "Hey kid wake up your here!" Fabian awoke with a jolt. He arose from the seat of the cab and peered out the window. A familiar and warm environment was just outside. The Anubis estate. He smiled. Home at last.
"Kid!" the Cabdriver yelled again, "Come on I got a busy schedule!" Fabian regained his senses.
"Oh, of course," he stuttered getting out of the cab with his suitcase, "Thank you sir." The cab drove off.
Fabian looked and walked down the familiar path he had walked down so many times before, up to the house. He was just about to open the door when, BAM!
Fabian was knocked off his feet and was pushed down into some bushes beside the house.
"Come now Rutter, stay on your feet," prankster Jerome Clarke called down to him. He turned to face his accomplice, "Come now Alfie, Trudy's cookies are calling." Jerome proceeded inside.
Alfie looked down at Fabian and extended a helping hand. Fabian gave a half smile and was pulled up.
"Thanks," Fabian said patting Alfie on the back.
"No problem buddy!" Alfie greeted, "And hey, sorry about Jerome. You know how he can be."
"Yea," Fabian replied, "Better him though then mind controlling spirits." The two laughed and proceeded inside. Upon entering the house, this time it was Alfie who was nearly tackled to the ground.
"Squee! Alfie I missed you," Willow Jenks said embracing her boyfriend.
"Hey baby!" Alfie said hugging back. Fabian proceeded into the common room to see all sorts of familiar faces. He saw Joy, Eddie, Patricia, K.T, Jerome, Mara, and...
"Fabian!" Nina Martin yelled, getting up from a conversation with Eddie and Patricia, and hugged her former boyfriend.
"Nina!" Fabian exclaimed in disbelief, "Your back!"
"And here to stay," she replied smiling at him. They released each other and Nina began to lead Fabian to the couch where her, Patricia, and Eddie were talking. While being dragged, Fabian gave a side glance at Mara who avoided his stare. He began to feel semi-guilty but turned his attention to his reunion with his friends.
"Sup Roomie," Eddie greeted, his arm around Patricia. Patricia leaned in close to Nina and Fabian.
"Sibuna meeting after lights out in my room," she whispered to them. "Already told Alfie, K.T, and Amber."
"Whoa!" Fabian replied shocked, "Amber's back to? Thought she was off, well... being Amber at fashion school."
"Um...whats that supposed to mean?" a familiar voice said from behind them.
"Amber!" the group yelled and everyone got up to give her a welcoming hug, "You see Fabian if you stay up to date with your online social networking you would have known I was coming back. Fashion school was fashionating but I missed you guys more than I loved New York."
Just then Willow and Alfie walked in holding hands. Alfie stopped in mid conversation with her when his eyes met Amber's. "Amber!" Willow yelled in excitement.
"Ames?!" he gasped, "Your back? I mean... your back!" Amber's smile turned into a scowl. She stormed over to Alfie and Willow.
"Apparently Alfie doesn't stay up to date with his social networking either," Fabian joked. Amber stopped in front of Alfie and Willow who were still holding hands.
"Alfie, Willow," Amber said, not smiling. She was staring right at their hands. Alfie stared awkwardly into space.
"Amber!" Willow squeed, "I have been trying to follow in your footsteps trying to become like you. I stayed in your room for a bit, I promoted your fashion, oh gee, but I could never be as amazing as you."
"Well," Amber said, not taking her eyes off their hands, "I see you are trying to become like me."
"Trudy?" Joy asked from inside the kitchen, "With Amber and Nina back, what are the room situations?"
"Don't start with me on that!" Trudy said as she prepared dinner. "Mick is coming back tomorrow and I'm going to have to figure everything out before then."
Jerome banged his head from inside the oven, trying to get some food, "Mick's coming back?"
"Yea, apparently his sports scholarship didn't work out for him," Trudy replied, "And to answer your question Joy here is what I see the rooms looking like. Both of the girls rooms are going to be crowded. We've had to bring up and refurbish an old bed from the cellar. Nina, Amber, and Patrica in one room and you,Willow, Mara, and K.T in the other. As for the guys, as usual Eddie and Fabian in one and, you (Trudy pointed at Jerome) Jerome and Alfie in the other. Mick is going to have to triple with one of you..."
"You know," Jerome cut in, "Eddie and Fabian are always going off how lonely they are. I hear Fabian is afraid of the dark. Mick would love to be comfortable in his old room and he would definitely make Eddie and Fabian feel more secure."
"Really?" Trudy asked, "I'm surprised your being so considerate of everyone Jerome."
"Just doing my part to support the house," he replied. Joy gave him a side smile and rolled her eyes.
K.T. had just finished a conversation with Mara and headed over to see her fellow Sibuna members Nina, Eddie, Patrica, and Fabian.
"Hey, hey, hey!" she greeted.
"K.T!" Eddie replied back giving her a welcoming hug. Patricia scowled. Eddie sat down looking over at her.
"What?" he asked.
"Oh nothing,"she shrugged. Fabian also gave K.T. a welcoming hug and introduced her to Nina.
"Hey I'm Nina, also American," Nina said shaking K.T's hand.
"You guys should form a club, geeks only VIP," Patricia said snidely, "Eddie's American too he could be your president."
"Patrica, lovely and kind as ever," K.T joked.
The sound of laughing and Summer stories filled Victor's office.
"Awgh blasted children!" Victor sinking in his armchair. He glanced out his window to see Jerome and Alfie running through the entrance hall, armed with water blasters. "Well Corbierre," Victor said stroking his stuffed raven, "The urchins have returned. Even the old ones." Victor glared at Nina as she appeared in the entrance hall alongside, Amber.
"But it is almost hear. The day of legends. A day, Corbierre that happens only once every 10,000 years. A day, Corbierre, that I will achieve immortal life from the gods themselves. "
"Come on everyone everyone time for dinner," Trudy called from the kitchen. All of the Anubis residents ended their conversations and proceeded to the diningtable. The meal began with Trudy serving up delectable dishes of food and treats. Alfie dove headfirst into the tarts and sweets that were arranged as everyone laughed.
"So Nina," Jerome began, lifting his head up from his plate of spaghetti, "What happened with your disappearance last term? Aside from a couple of us, never actually got to here why you didn't come back?" Eddie and Fabian exchanged nervous glances from across the table.
"Jerome!" Joy said from next to him, "No need to question her. That's her business."
"No its okay Joy," Nina replied, "My Gran got ill again. I had to stay down in the states for the previous year til she recovered. No big disappearance."
"Well," Jerome continued, "Its good to here shes better again."
"Mara!"Eddie interrupted before Jerome could say anything else, "I herd you and Fabian hung out a little over break. How was that?" Fabian glared at Eddie. He glanced over at Nina who was staring down at her empty plate now.
"Oh yeah we did a little," Mara said flushing,"We went to a water park just outside of the capital. Wasn't it nice Fabian?" Fabian was sinking his chair.
"Yeah, of course..." he stammered, "I think everything is nice." Alfie was laughing in his seat and Joy and K.T exchanged smirks.
Nina had left dinner early, feeling jealous. She knew that she had broken up with Fabian but she had little choice. The Osirian and the Chosen One couldn't be together. She had to get away from Eddie. The world would be out of balance and one of them would be corrupted by evil, just as Rufus Zeno was. She had to come back though. At the begging of Summer she had received a horrifying vision, an armored man glowering over her shouting, "I will rise!" She knew then that her friends were in danger and that she would have to return to Anubis House. She had just finished walking up the stairs, heading to her room to prepare for the Sibuna meeting when she heard familiar voices coming from Victor's Office.
"Victor!" , Mr. Sweet headmaster of the school exclaimed, "We have a problem." Nina ducked down against the wall to listen in.
"What now Eric!" Victor replied angrily, "You realize this is our last chance, my last chance!"
"Good so you should here this," Mr. Sweet replied calmly, "I've been researching the requirements for the ceremony to work from books from the Frobisher library. I've found a very interesting book. We must have certain 'items' in our possession if we are to appease the gods."
"What items?" Victor asked, his voice solemn. There was a Thud! as a book was placed on Victor's desk. Nina peered into the window. Hers and Victor's eyes both widened...
