Nina's POV

I smiled as I opened the door and walked into Anubis House. I loved this place, so much fun. And so much mystery! I pulled my suitcases into the house and looked around. It was quiet that meant I was the first one here, there's a first. I smiled more when I saw a familiar person emerge from the kitchen.

"Trudy!" I say happily as I ran up and hugged her. She smiled and hugged back.

"I'm back, lovely!" said Trudy, smiling as well." I'm making some welcome back cookies, do you want some?"

I smiled,"Sure, I would love some cookies. But first I'm going to go unpack. I'll be back!" I said. Trudy nodded and returned to the kitchen as I brought my luggage up the stairs and entered my room. I began unpacking; I was halfway done when I heard the familiar sound of the door opening.

I left my luggage and walked out into the corridor. I leaned on the banister of the staircase and smiled when I saw who it was. Amber Millington smiled when she saw me.

"Nina!" she squealed as she ran up the stairs and hugged me. She ran up the stairs while wearing tall heels, purely amazing!

Amber Millington, a true know-it-all when it came to clothes was dressed very fashionably. She wore a peach colored dress that looked very pretty. She wore white tall heels, amazing she didn't trip. Around her neck she wore a silver heart necklace that she got from Alfie before we left last term. Amber said that it was "a very romantic moment". Her blonde hair fell down her shoulders.

I wore a pink long-sleeve top under a light white jacket. I also wore grey jeans and pink converses. I looked really casual and simple.

Amber rushed back down and got her pink suitcases. I helped her bring all six suitcases which were filled with clothes and other things. We began unpacking our stuff; once all of my things were unpacked I helped Amber. We talked the whole time. I told her about how Gran got better and about the trip Gran and I took to D.C. She told me about her time in Paris with her mom when they had a shopping spree and when she went sailing in her dad's yacht with him in Greece. We had finished suitcase number two and were working on suitcase number three when we decided to go down to the common room.

Trudy saw us and said to us"Oh hello, lovelies! The cookies are on the table; get as many as you want." I smiled at that, knowing Alfie, he would want to eat all of the cookies. Amber and I walked over to the table and looked at the warm cookies.

They were sugar cookies, soft and smelled so sweet and enticing. I grabbed two and Amber grabbed two as well. We were going to sit down and chat when the door opened again. Amber and I both walked out of the room and into the corridor. Mara and Alfie stood there, smiles on their faces. They smiled more when they saw us there.

"Ambs!"said Alfie. He ran up and hugged her. He twirled around and they both looked very happy. Alfie wore an orange and black button-down plaid shirt and black jeans. Along with that he wore black sneakers.

They went into the common room, I could hear Alfie's excited shriek"Cookies, yes!" That left me and Mara in the corridor all alone. It was a bit awkward considering that Mara and I never really hung out. So I t was a bit strange being in the vestibule alone with her.

Mara wore a white top under a reddish orange cardigan with polka dots. She also wore dark pink jeans and white ballet flats with flower designs. Around her neck she wore a pretty necklace. It had these two swans that were kissing; the spaces between their necks made a heart shape. I think Jerome might have given her that, how sweet!

"I'm gonna go unpack." said Mara, which broke the awkward silence. She gave me a warm smile and then went upstairs with her suitcase. Nina shifted uncomfortably and then walked into the common room. As she predicted, Alfie was happily eating a cookie. Four more cookies were on his napkin.

"Are those cookies?" asked a voice. We turned to look and we saw Joy. She was wearing a cream colored top with flowers on it over a white tank top. She also wore pale yellow jeans and these white shoes made to look like an eye winking. She was smiling. Beside her was Patricia Williamson.

The auburn haired girl wore a white sleeveless top that said" I Never Liked You Anyway" under a green camouflage vest. She wore black jeans and black combat boots. She wore this ring that looked like a wing and golden feather earrings. She was smiling as she looked at her friends.

"Hi Patricia, Joy." said Alfie as he smiled at his housemates. I looked at Joy, and I felt strange. We hadn't been well best friends after the whole Fabian-breakup thing. But well she helped Sibuna with the Senet task so I guess I owe her.

"Hi guys." said Patricia" Is the Cockroach here already?" she asked them as she walked over to the cookies.

Amber piped up"Nope, it's just us."

I added"Oh, Mara is upstairs unpacking." Patricia sat across from Alfie and began to eat her cookies. Joy served herself some and Alfie returned to get some more. I rolled my eyes; he just liked cookies so much.

Trudy walked in, a trace of flour on her clothes" I just wanted to tell you, lovelies, we'll have some new students this year."

Before she could say anything else, Patricia asked" Are they Americans?"

I just playfully glared at her and Trudy chuckled in amusement"No, Patricia there will not be any new students from America this year."

What's wrong with Americans?" asked Eddie Miller who was leaning on the wall. We were all startled and he just laughed at us. The Osirian wore a red and black plaid shirt and denim blue jeans. He also wore black boots and a wristwatch he had gotten from his father before we left for break. He looked simple and casual.

Patricia smiled when she saw him"Eddie!' she smirked" Well I guess not all Americans are terrible!"

He smiled and she laughed, Trudy said" Hello Eddie, I was just beginning to say that there will be two more students. One is Leo De La Corona; he's a bit… young."

Alfie smiled at the fact that they would have another boy," What do you mean by 'young'?" Eddie took a seat next to his girlfriend and put his arm around her shoulder as we all nodded at what Alfie said.

"Well he was supposed to go to Isis House but it was full so Mr. Sweet decided to move him into Anubis House." she sighed and answered Alfie's question" Leo is 12,he'll be 13 by next year."

Amber frowned, Patricia looked confused, Eddie arched an eyebrow and Alfie smiled" I can teach him pranks!"

Mara walked in and asked us"Wait, who is Alfie teaching, pranks to?"

"I'm gonna teach pranks to a 12 year old!" said Alfie happily at the thought of the 12 year old pranking the students. Mara frowned and Trudy explained everything to her.

"The other one is Charlotte; she's not young like Leo." informed Trudy as she looked at us. So a new girl and a new boy, that seems balanced.

"Wait, Trudy." said Joy, Trudy turned around to look at the brunette" Who are they rooming with?"

Trudy responded" Leo is sharing a room with Eddie and Fabian, Charlotte is with Nina and Amber."

That seemed nice; the new girl was going to be my roommate. It seemed like something cool, I might want to get to know that Leo kid more.

After eating some cookies everyone headed to their rooms to unpack. I continued to help Amber unpack her clothing and other things she had brought. It was about 1:30 when the door opened again. I walked out of the room and found that Mara had just come out of her room as well. We both looked over the wooden banister and saw Jerome and Fabian.

Jerome looked sophisticated as usual. He wore a white dress shirt under a blazer. A tie was wrapped around his neck and he wore dress shoes and blue pants. He smiled when he saw Mara; his blue eyes sparkled as he led her into the common room.

And then there was Fabian. My boyfriend wore a blue and white striped button down shirt and jeans. He also wore blue sneakers. When his eyes landed on me, I smiled. I hugged him tightly.

"Hey, Nina." he said happily as he hugged me," I missed you! "I kissed my hair and I smiled even more. he bent down and our lips connected. I felt so bubbly, so lively and cheerful. I smiled into the kiss and it was perfect. Perfect if it wasn't for the raspy voice that whispered into my ear.

"Nina…bring me my gifts…"the voice said. I stumbled back and concern streaked Fabian's face.

"I need my gifts…I want them now…My gifts…bring them to me and I shall spare you when I enter this world….but I want my gifts. And I want them now." said the voice.
