Okee dokee lovely readers, I've decided I wanted to start this before I finish my other story, thank you to Risa, and another Guest who reviewed, and especially to TheEmptyOwl who reviewed and followed this fic, just from the possible idea! You guys will be happy to know that I've picked Mara to be like Lizzie:) I'm kind of excited about this too, so I hope you like the way I've put a spin on the classic story and how I've changed the characters and HOA friendships to fit it, FYI that unlike my other stories, it will all be in Mara's POV.
Disclaimer: I do not own House of Anubis or Pride and Prejudice, just my mash-up of them!
"Oh Mr. Rodenmaar, didn't you hear?! You must have heard!" I heard mum exclaim downstairs.
"I am afraid not my dear," he told her, seemingly bored of her gossiping.
"Good morning! What's all the commotion?" Nina greeted, finding me in the hall. After all these years in England, her American accent had started to fade, mum and dad adopted her at the age of eight, after her Gran died. Unable to have children, they had adopted the other four of us as infants.
"I don't know," I chuckled, "mum seems pretty hyped up though!"
"Haven't you heard the wonderful news?!" Amber twittered when she and Joy came up the stairs together.
Before Nina or I even had the chance to say no, Joy shrieked, "Fabian Rutter is coming here, he's going to be attending Longbourn with us! His family has bought the house in Netherfield Park!"
"Who?" I asked, unsure of who exactly they were talking about, I thought maybe I'd heard the name somewhere, but it wasn't ringing any major bells.
"The Fabian Rutter?!" Nina squealed, I realized she must know more than I do.
"Boys are stupid," Patricia mumbled clopping her feet as she came up to us.
"But it's Fabian Rutter, Patricia! He's handsome, and smart, and rich" Amber droned on, Patricia looked unamused. "Oh poor, pitiful Patti, someday you will understand the wonders of love."
I laughed and asked, "So who is he anyway?"
"Only the greatest gentleman in all of England! He's practically royalty!" Joy enthused in reply.
"I see and what makes you think you have a chance with him?" I teased, being slightly honest.
"Hush dear! All of you do! I just want my princesses to find great love, and if there's any chance of that along with security in a good match like Mr. Rutter, than I think any of you have as much of a chance as the other girls." Mum encouraged. "Now come let's have breakfast."
"Oh daddy! Isn't it wonderful?" Amber cooed at the table.
"Isn't what wonderful?" dad grumbled.
"Daddy! That Mr. Rutter is coming?! I just want to know when he will get here!" Amber fussed, agitated.
"Oh yes dear," he muttered, uninterested. "You know, he told me he was quite pleased to be starting tomorrow."
All of us girls practically choked. "Oh but Victor, how do you know?" Mum questioned first.
"He told me when I met him at the school the other day," dad replied, nonchalantly.
"Fabian Rutter was at our school?!" Joy shrieked.
"Daddy was he as handsome as everyone says?" Amber mused, dramatically.
"Victor Rodenmaar, you told me you never spoke to him before!" Mum shouted, Nina and I laughed, and dragged the others to school.
The five of us, even Patricia, chattered excitedly about the special new student, and Amber insisted that she was going to make sure dad had talked all of us up, later. The entire school was abuzz when we arrived.
So, I hope you guys enjoyed this beginning chapter, kind of short, I know! Let me know what you think of the characters and there roles, such as Fabian as Bingley, Nina as Jane, Amber as Lydia, Joy as Kitty, Victor and Trudy as Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. Also, I know Mary is like the quiet, boring sister, but I thought since Patricia sort of floated between groups in normal HOA that she could sort of do the same here and give Mary new life. Don't worry, Jerome is coming! I will also try to include the other Anubis boys, several or all as love interests. KT and Willow will also be added, but I'll make you guys guess who they are! Hopefully more soon, I'm just trying to balance writing everything, and I have trouble finding time anyway, so please forgive me!
