Hello! This is my first story EVER and I'm really excited about it! I love House of Anubis so much! Okay so this story may seem REALLY confusing at first, but as you read, you'll understand, and hopefully love it! You aren't going to find out who is narrating right now until the next chapter (which I'm working on now!) I hope you enjoy this story! Here's the first chapter!
Black. That's all my eyes were allowing me to see. I tried to think. I tried to focus. Where am I? Who am I? I can't remember, I had to have some sort of life, right? What is this? Why can't I see anything right now? Is this a joke? Out of nowhere comes a light. A big, bright, shining light. I walk toward it, and end up in a room- more like a hallway, actually. There is a doorway, red carpeted stairs to my right- with creepy wooden eyes carved into the railings, an entrance to a living room on the left, a chandelier hanging from the ceiling above me, and a mysterious wooden door shut to and locked behind me. Weird.
"Hello? Is anybody here?" I called. No response. As I was about to call out again, the front door opens, and 3 people come inside. There is a boy, maybe 15 years old, with reddish brownish hair, pale skin and brown eyes. He is wearing a blue T-Shirt with jeans and black converse. Following him, are two girls with their arms linked- clearly they are best friends. One of the girls is an attractive blonde with brown eyes- she is wearing a pink mini dress with a black blazer over and a long, shiny silver beaded necklace, and black stilettos with pink bows at the toes(haha that rhymes!) The other is an Asian girl with long, straight black hair, brown eyes, and is wearing a simple blue blouse with purple skinny jeans, and grey Vans sneakers. The 3 look extremely happy to be in this mysterious room. "Trudy! We're here!" the boy yells. A middle aged, black haired and tan skin lady wearing a purple T-Shirt and jeans comes running in. "You're back You're back!" she shouts. "Um, Hi. Who are you?" I ask awkwardly. Nobody responds, as if I'm not even there. What the hell? The lady- Trudy I think they said her name is gives both the girls and the boy giant hugs. "Trudy we missed you so much!" the Asian girl squeals. "Oh I missed you too love. All of you. It's been so lonely here- especially with Victor leaving." Who the hell is Victor? I asked. Trudy ignored me. "Come into the kitchen- I've made some snacks!" Trudy chimed. The 3 kids followed her into a kitchen, where there were platters of cookies, miscellaneous sandwiches, and bowls of different pastas covering every square inch of counter space. The boy dug in. "Dex, you are such a pig!" the blonde moaned.
Dex was his name...
The Asain girl smacked her arm, "Cassie!" she snapped. "Just kidding, you know I love you dexy!"
So her name is Cassie...
"Trudy, is this food really all for us?" Dex asked. "Well you have to share with the others, obviously." "I thought we were the only 3 boarding at Anubis at first?" the Asian girl questioned. "Oh you didn't hear? About 5 minutes away, a new University opened. It's a small, private college, but very prestigious. It's not very well known yet, so to help get the school up and running, the founder offered Mr. Sweet a deal; he becomes the Principal of the University, as well as our school, he will allow all of the seniors who just recently graduated full ride scholarships to the University. All the seniors also get to stay in their former houses until the dorms at the college are finished being built." Trudy responded. "OMG! So Eddie, KT, Joy, and everyone else will be back?" Cassie squealed.
What is she talking about...
"Yes! And they should be here at any moment!" "Will someone please tell me what's going on?" I asked. They ignored me, again. I poked Dex, who was scarfing down his second Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich. He didn't even flinch. "Dex..." I asked. What the heck? The door in the hall way creaked open, followed by laughter. "They're here!" Trudy squealed. Everyone followed her into the hallway.
There stood a dark skinned boy with black hair, brown eyes and was wearing a blue and red striped shirt with a white leather jacket over, dark washed skinny jeans, and red high top converse. The weirdest thing happened when I saw this boy, I felt this weird pang, like I had to be close to him. "...Who are you?" I asked, he, like everybody else, ignored me. He had his arm wrapped around a pale skinned, reddish blonde haired girl with hazel eyes, wearing a blue sweatshirt with a long heart necklace, light wash skinny jeans and white keds sneakers. The pair started to hug Trudy and Dex, while Cassie and the Asian girl waltzed over to another boy and girl who just walked in. "Hey Jerome!" Cassie said as she hugged him.
Jerome. I thought. Nope, doesn't ring a bell. I took in this blonde haired blue eyed guy wearing a blue button down shirt with blue jeans, a brown belt and brown dress shoes. Still Nothing. Holding Jerome's hand was a girl with brown curly hair, brown eyes, and was wearing a pink maxi dress with a white cardigan over, a long necklace, and white sandals. "Hey Joy!" the Asian girl squealed as she hugged the brunette.
Joy...nope, nothing.
"Hi..." I said. She didn't notice me, either. "How are you guys?" Joy asked. "Great! I can't believe we all get to live together!" Cassie said. "Ugh, the rooms are going to be so crowded!" the other girl, who was in the dark skinned boys grip chirped. "I know!" pretty much everybody said. "I've got snacks in the kitchen!" Trudy said. "FOOD!" The dark skinned boy and Jerome both yelled, as they sprinted to the kitchen, leaving their (I assume) girlfriends behind. Just then, another couple walked through the door. The girl had long sleek black hair, brown eyes, and tan skin. She was wearing yellow button down cardigan with green skinny jeans with a blue belt, and rainbow plaid Sperry topsiders. Pang. Just like with the dark skinned boy, I felt myself being pulled closer to another stranger. It wasn't this black haired girl, though, it was the boy she had her arm looped through. He had dark brown hair and Blue eyes. He was wearing a red V-neck T-shirt with a green jacket over, light slightly baggy jeans, and brown boots of some sort. I had no idea who this boy, or the other boy was, but I felt like I had to be near them. "Hey..." I said to the brunette boy. He ignored me, and along with his friend, went around and hugged everyone in the room- everyone but me of course. "So, Fabes, Mara, how was your vaycay?"Joy asked. "It was, awesome! We went all over Germany and Austria!" The girl- Mara gushed. I looked at the boy next to her again. Fabes. That's a weird name. "Could someone please tell me where I am?" I asked. Nothing. Of course. "Snacks are in the kitchen! Hurry, before Alfie, Jerome and Dex eat everything!" Trudy exclaimed. Everyone slowly filed into the kitchen.
So the dark skinned boy's name is Alfie...
Everybody chatted and caught up with each other- they talked about vacations, how they all missed each other, etc. Bored and extremely confused as to why everyone was ignoring me, my eyes wandered around the room. I noticed Alfie and Fabes sneaking away- I felt that pang again, and followed them. The two chatted as they walked down a long hallway and then turned into a bedroom. I looked around, mostly zombie and monster stuff was everywhere. "I missed you...after traveling with Mara, I was bored the whole summer." Fabes said to Alfie. "DO YOU NOT SEE ME?!" I screamed at him. Nothing. Alfie smiled. "I missed you too, Although it was nice not having to worry about evil Egyptian gods coming into the world ad great evils being unleashed."
What. The. Heck.
Fabes smiled. "Yeah, I know. I'm going to go wash up, I'll be right back." I decided to follow Fabes, maybe he would finally acknowledge me. "Um, hello?" I asked.
Nothing.
I followed Fabes into a bathroom, where he began to wash his hands. When I looked in the mirror, I screamed. Fabes' reflection was there, but mine wasn't. It all hit me then. Nobody can see me because...I don't actually exist. Nobody can see me because I'm not really here, I'm just a...ghost. Nobody can see me because I'm dead.
So who do you think is telling the story? Why does this person feel that weird pang towards Alfie and Fabian, but nobody else? Stay tuned(:
