:::::CHAPTER 1::::: EPISODE 1:::::

I am packing up my things in my grandmothers old tan and red plaid suitcase from her teenage years, in the 1940s. I am packing up the rest of my books and my journal recorder. I started recording my journal with my voice like Sarah did when she was a child. I also pack my other journal that my grandmother bought for me to write in while I was at the house when I was a student. It is filled with my quest days and some things about Fabian and some normal stuff.

I pack some other folders of other random stuff and the house information. I packed my clothes in boxes and I packed all of my electronic stuff. I packed all of my lamps and other accessories from my bedroom and of course my stuffed bear.

I definitely am going to miss America, and of course Grams, but Amber (who me and my Grams offered her to live with us for a while after she finished her school year since her father was forced to move his business back to England because he was losing money. She didn't feel like going back to England, so over the summer she lived with us) is coming with me now. She got her scholarship transferred to another school in England so it will be like old times... But at the same time, we hope not.

She has a ton of luggage that her father payed for to get transferred to England. He even payed for me since we took care of his daughter. We are now on our way to the airport and Amber won't stop talking about Anubis house. Apparently there are less girl students, so since we are going to be living at the house, we get our old bedroom. It is super exciting.

Amber is talking, but I kind of drown her out and I look out the backseat right window. Yearning to be with the house, but I also yearn for my locket, not knowing where it is now. I just hope it is still around Eddie's neck. But the sad thing is, I yearn for it to be around mine. The EYE of HORUS, it kind of weirds me out, because it is wood and I wore a God's eyeball. Gross...

Before I know it, we are at the airport. It looks so modern, I am not going to miss that. I mean we can still use our phones, but I am not going to miss being in a modern setting, it kind of just never suited me.

It takes about an hour to get through all of our security and we have to wait another two hours. Amber goes shopping at the small shops of clothes and I go to the book store to see if I can find anything interesting.

The first thing I see when I open up the glass door is a boy around my age or maybe he is a year older at nineteen. The back of his head looks like it could be Fabian. The funny thing is, he is picking up, an Egyptian Mythology book. I head toward the section to see the book.

I stand next to him not really being interested in what he looked like. The he looked up at me, and all I saw were those deep brown eyes and I knew, it is Fabian. I jolt a little bit and I look up. He looks at me for a moment and we just stare. I feel a sweat coming on. What do I say? I ask myself. "Fa-Fabian?" I say stuttering over my words. He has grown a lot in the past two years, he has a little bit of a prickly beard. It does not suit him. It is just weird on him, to me.

"He-He-Hey Nina." He says as he looks back down at the books trying not to look at me. I just stand there in silence for a moment, looking over his back where he wears a brown leather jacket. "So, what are you doing in America?" I ask now looking at the left side of his cheek. He stands up again. "Oh, I had a big meeting and I had to come here. It was good vacation for me and Mara. You remember Mara, right?" He asks, now acting as if he didn't just try to ignore me.

"Yea, I remember her." I say. Then questions pop up in my head. Are the dating? Does she know about SIBUNA? Is she a part of SIBUNA? "Are you two...together?" I ask awkwardly. He stands there awkwardly as if he didn't hear me. "Yea! We are. We have been dating since the very end of senior year." He says as if we never dated and we are best friends that haven't seen each other in a while. I mean we were best friends, but he was my first love and I think I was his.

"Cool." I decide to be extra nice and cutesy and copy his excitement. "Aww. The smartest kids in school are together. How cute." I wait a moment. "I am serious, you guys seem like a good and compatible couple." I say to show that I am serious. He looks down at me. I haven't grown and he has. About three or four inches.

"Thanks. Are you dating anyone?" He asks. I shiver for a second. He is the only guy I ever dated except for when I was in kindergarten. Fabian was my first real boyfriend, my first real love, even my first kiss. "No, the closest I am to dating someone is Amber telling me about her ex-boyfriend and some hot guy at work until 2 am." I say making a joke.

He goes wide eyed. But I can tell it wasn't because I wasn't dating anyone or that Amber talking about boys. "How is Amber?" He asks. I don't know what to say, but I decide to just let this be a nice friend reunion and notex-girlfriend reunion. "Do you want to find out for yourself?" I asks sweetly. "She's here?" He asks surprised. "Yea." Do you want to go see her?" I ask, almost regretting it. He seems more excited to see her rather than with me. I mean when he first saw me, he despised me and wanted nothing to do with me.

We both buy a copy of the same book and we go back to our nice friendly conversation. We are laughing about how we both picked up the book and stuff and old memories. But halfway to the store, I stop him. I need to know if Mara knows. "Fabian?" I start. I am about to say never mind, but it will bug me and I hate it when I am bugged or annoyed.

"Yea." He responds confused since we had such a good conversation going. "Does Mara know about... SIBUNA?" I ask sounding serious and nervous. He waits a moment and puts his hands into his jean pockets. "Yea, she was with us when we had another quest." He responds. "Another one?" It shouldn't be a shock, we had one every year. "Yea, last year, we had two." He said with a grin on his face. I just stared at him in shock and I felt as if my jaw hit the floor. "Yea, they were the most dangerous too. On one, I lost my soul." He continues.

I shiver again. "Let's talk more about this with Amber, she didn't tell me much. Just that she was traumatized by something." I say. "Yea, I have to tell her what..." He waits a moment. "More like, who was in that tank she found."
