Right, so my account got hacked and this story was deleted, so I'm re-uploading it. It's frustrating. :(
DISCLAIMER!
I don't own House of Anubis or any of its characters. If I did, Season Two would've started NOW!
Enjoy. R&R!
It was a new term, and I couldn't wait to see everyone again. I stared absentmindedly out the window as the cab driver took me back to school from the airport.
What about Fabian and I? I asked myself. Last term, we had shared our first kiss at the prom organized by Mara and Amber. Does this mean we're really together? Hmm… meh. I'll figure it out later.
My mind also drifted off to the mystery and the Cup of Ankh. I clutched the Eye of Horus locket that I kept tucked away in my bag. Sarah had given it to me on my first day at Anubis House, claiming that "it was my turn now" and "I had to find the treasure".
'The treasure' ended up being the Cup of Ankh, or the Cup of Immortality. If the Chosen One (originally thought to be Joy, but we found out recently that it's me) assembles the cup, and someone drinks the Elixir of Life from it, one of the seven acolytes dies. Last term, Rufus Zeno had stolen the cup from me as soon as I had put it together, and drank the 'elixir' from it. Little did he know, Fabian had switched out the real elixir with a fake one beforehand. Alfie had been the one to 'die' in order to get Rufus out of the cellar. He still thinks he's immortal… or at least, he thought he was last time we saw him.
Anyways, back to Sarah. She was so nice… she was like my Gran, only she wasn't all there and she was British. Her parents owned Anubis House, before they mysteriously died and her, Victor and Rufus (back when he was still somewhat good) turned it into a boarding school.
Mr. Sweet had spoken to me before term ended and said he would extend my scholarship until I was to go on to college and university; in exchange, the teachers and Victor would 'protect me' and I wouldn't speak a word to anyone about what happened at Anubis House or it would give the school a bad reputation. I was just glad that protecting me didn't mean kidnapping me and putting me into hiding like they had done with Joy. I mean, I had hidden the Cup of Ankh under the stage in the school, and it wouldn't be able to work for another twenty-five years - that is, it would only work if Victor could duplicate the elixir, which he couldn't.
"Here we are," the driver spoke up, interrupting my thoughts and pulling to a stop in front of the house.
I peered out the window again, this time a smile forming across my face at the sight of my so-familiar home.
"Thank you," I said as we both got out of the car. He opened the trunk and took out my suitcases and gave them to me.
"Of course. No problem, dearie," he smiled, getting back in and driving away.
I sighed happily, again staring up at the house - the house of secrets and passages - and started walking up the steps. I was home.
