Hi, it's JessIsTheBest again! I know I should be working on either Captured or Behind the Geekyness, but I got this idea yesterday from the House of Anubis episode (which was on 3/05/12). I will not follow HOA's storyline after that part. As soon as Nina falls, it's my story. Mostly . Some things I have to keep, otherwise the story would make no sense.

Meltdown Summary: When Fabian incorrectly moves Nina on the board, she plummets down into an underground cell. Sibuna is devastated, but is determined to get Nina back, and get the mask. But Fabian begins to lose it, and Sibuna isn't sure how to help him. They are all upset themselves. But can they pull back together, in one final act to get the mask, and Nina?

Prologue (Third Person POV)

"Fabian?" Nina questioned, as she stood in front of an Anubis opponent. The face seemed to stare right into her eyes. Before she had the chance to scream, a vortex open beneath her feet, and Nina vanished into what seemed like thin air.

"Nina!" Fabian yelled, bowing his head in shame. How could he have put Nina in such danger? He should have double-checked his moves. Well, he had. But he should have done it again. Look where he put Nina! He doesn't even know if she is alive now.

"Where are you Nina?" The usually perky blonde yelled. Nina was nowhere to be seen. Tears rolled down each of the Sibunas' faces. You could even see tears coming down poor Patricia's cheeks.

"I want off this board!" Amber yelled with an anxious voice. Fabian turned quickly to his papers, and told them one to the left, and to go out through the side. Everybody off the board, and they all quickly glanced back at it.

A whispered voice soon spoke through the speakers. It told them that they would get the lost people back, at the end of the game. But what if they could never finish the game? What if Fabian couldn't figure it out?

"Well, Nina must be okay, if the voice said we will get everybody back." Patricia said, hopeful. She figured if the voice said everybody would be returned, and then Nina couldn't be dead. She smiled a bit, but it didn't last.

"But who says she will come back in one piece?" Alfie said, not even thinking. He was worried that Nina could come back as maybe, a ghost. Or even some sort of mutated creature. He immediately shut his mouth, figuring that was the wrong thing to say in front of Fabian. Fabian looked completely torn.

Fabian looked at Alfie in disgust, and ran out of the tunnels. How could Alfie say that to him? Fabian was already worried enough about Nina. But Alfie had a point. What if Nina did return, but not as herself? More tears streamed down his face, as he returned to the beginning of the tunnels.

Patricia gave Alfie a look, and he looked down. Everybody then walked out of the tunnels, and back into the study. Fabian leaned over the desk, thinking about Nina. Where was she right now? Was she dead? Was she alive and well, maybe in some sort of locked room? Good and bad thoughts flew into his mind.

"We'll get her back, Fabian." Amber said, through tears. She placed her fragile hand on his shoulder, but he did not look up. He was too devastated.

The Sibuna gang all sat at the dining table, waiting for breakfast. Thankfully, nobody was crying anymore, though nobody really got any sleep. Fabian had been practicing Senet all night. And the girls just kept crying, realizing they might never see Nina again. Alfie couldn't get the thought out of his mind that Nina might come back as a ghost.

Mara and Joy walked into the room, as well as Eddie and Jerome. They were all cheery, but the Sibuna group all had gloomy faces. The rest of the Anubis kids said nothing, not wanting to disturb them. The Sibuna gang was always so secretive. Sometimes Joy felt left out. Mara never seemed to notice, because she always spent a lot of time with Jerome. And Eddie, well, he's Eddie. He could care less.

"Good morning! Um, where's Nina? The hospital wants her to come; apparently her Gran had a bad night." Vera said, walking into the room. Even hearing Nina's name made Fabian race out of the room. Vera didn't comment, and turned to Amber. She hesitated, until Patricia broke the awkward silence.

"Oh, she already went this morning. She left a note." Patricia said, handing a note Patricia had written. She had tried her best to follow Nina's writing, which she studied from Nina's notes for French. Vera read it carefully, and put it into her pocket. She continued to serve the kids breakfast, and then walked towards Victor's office.

She opened Victor's door, holding tea that she had brought for him. Vera had Victor wrapped around her finger. Once she got ahold of that mask, she would leave Victor with it, and bring it to Rufus. They would be rich together. But she was starting to develop strong feelings for Victor as well. He was trying to protect her, constantly. And that made her feel good about herself.

"I got some tea for you, Victor!" Vera said gleefully, handing Victor the hot cup. Victor thanked her, and took the tea from her. He took a small sip, and placed it on his desk. "I need to inform you Victor that Nina has gone to stay with her relatives, so she can be closer to her Gran." Vera replied, also handing Victor the note.

Victor read it over carefully, and a big grin came across his face.

"Well, now Nina is not in the way of the mask! This is perfect!" Victor said, pulling his Senet board closer to him. He started playing with the pieces again, and Vera walked out of the room. Now she had a better chance of getting to the mask first. Those children would not take away her bright future.

What do you think so far? How was my third-person use? I think I was better than with Nina's usual POV. Tell me what you think in reviews, and the next chapter will be up soon! I also have a Twitter account so you can keep posted with my FanFiction, talk HOA with me, and just chat! It's JessIsTheBestFF. Check it out!
