. *NOTE* THIS IS THE REWRITTEN VERSION MY ORIGINAL STORY OF HOUSE OF HOLLYWOOD. I know some of you didn't see the author's note I put in the story, and that's why I haven't deleted it yet, but this is almost a totally different plot. This is a story about Nina's point of view while she's absent from Anubis House, how she copes without Sibuna, and how she finds herself again as the Chosen One when she returns later in the series, assuming she does.

The previous chapters I've had in the first story of House of Hollywood will be either put in later after we see where the season goes, and at the very most, I'll change it to where its a sequel to this story instead of Visitors.

Anyways, for those of you who haven't read my Victorious/House of Anubis crossovers, Nina lives in California currently and she is distant cousins with Tori, and used to attend Hollywood Arts when she was younger for things like writing, theater, and other classic arts. This story will concentrate on Nina's journey finding herself again when dealing with not being able to see Fabian, Eddie, Amber, or any of the others for what she thinks will be a long time.

Some pictures of characters, artifacts, pieces of clothing, or even important notices will all be on my profile, as well as a new poll I really want your guys' opinions on. If you guys have any questions, PM me or leave it in a review and I'll get right back to you. Heck, even if you just want to rant about House of Anubis, I'm always ready to talk! :P I really hope you guys like this first chapter!

Here's the Pronologue/First Episode in Nina's point of view:

"Nina."

"Eddie."

"Come on."

"Don't ask."

"Please?"

"No."

Eddie sighed as he watched the girl in front of him fold her arms over her chest. He started to dribble the ball all around him, counting on it to bounce back into his reach without even having to look. "Here, I'll even let you pick the game. What do you wanna play?"

"How about Scrabble," She said, "Or one of your video games, like that racing game, NBA, or even Call of Duty if we have to. Oh, what about Dance Central? Yeah, that involves movement too, just like all of these-"

"Those are all inside games." Eddie reminded her.

"Exactly."

He rolled his eyes. "We can play soccer, football, tennis, we can even play tag if you want-"

"I'm terrible at all those things Eddie." Nina frowned.

"That's not the point. It doesn't matter if you suck, you play the game just to play." He then chest passed the ball to her, a little too hard in Nina's opinion. She caught it at the last minute, but stumbled back a few feet when it hit her own chest. "And since you mentioned the NBA, we're going to play basketball." She groaned. "Come on, just think of it as dancing. Only much harder."

Nina snorted. "This is not harder than dancing."

"Keep dreamin', Golden Girl."

"Dancers can stand on their toes for three hours, and all you guys do is throw a ball through a hoop. Big whoop."

"Wanna put your money where your mouth is, Martin?" Eddie gave her a smug look.

Nina smirked back at him. "You know what? Hit me with your best shot, Sweet."

"Alright, no need to get feisty," He joked. "Ten bucks says you can't make one basket."

"And twenty says you can't beat me at Just Dance."

"I've taught you well," Eddie smirked. "You're on." He then outstretched his arm towards her. Nina took his hand in hers and gave it a good shake, a smile on her face. The two then got down into a kneeling position, Eddie dribbling the ball and getting ready to start. He spun around, leaning over the ball in order to keep Nina away from it.

She hated how much longer his arms were. She tried countless times to swipe the ball from him, but he always managed to push her away. Eddie began shooting baskets, none of which she could rebound, and darting all around the court ahead of her. He laughed wildly as he watched Nina flail her arms at him, trying her hardest to at least touch the ball. A small part of him actually felt bad for her, almost wanting to give her a free-bee and let her take the ball from him, but then his normal self kicked in;

He remembered how absolutely hilarious it was to watch her fail this badly.

After at least 20 shots, Nina finally had enough of his games and leaped forward, grasping his collar and hopping onto his back. Eddie quickly grabbed her legs in order to keep her from falling and burst out laughing. "That's against the rules!" He cried, still cracking up.

Nina laughed with him. "I don't care!" She giggled. Eddie let her grab the ball from in front of him and carried her over to the basket. Nina threw the ball in the air, holding her breath as it rolled around the rim. Her and Eddie cheered when it finally went through the hoop.

Nina hopped back off him and smiled proudly. "I believe you owe me ten dollars, Sir," She told him.

Eddie snorted, reaching out to get the ball again. "I don't think so, Martin. You only made the basket because I helped you."

Nina rolled her eyes and immediately grabbed the ball from out of hid hands. She tossed it up at the backboard, having it bounce right out of the center of the square and straight into the ball back in her hands as it fell from the net. "There's your basket."

"Ok, for anyone else I would say that was almost cool," Eddie replied, "But for you, that's practically a miracle." Nina laughed and swatted his arm. Eddie smiled and bumped her with his hip, making her laugh even harder. "Now I believe you owe me a dance," He smirked at her.

" I do, but we're going to have to rain check," Nina said. "I have to get back to the hospital to finally take Gran back to the house for home nursing, and you have a two hour drive back to your mom's with your name on it."

Eddie groaned, letting out a small chuckle after. "Don't remind me, I'm gonna murder somebody if I actually have to get up at 4 A.M. for my flight tomorrow."

Nina laughed with him. "Just make sure you say hi to everyone for me, because I can only imagine everyone's face when my boyfriend thinks you're me coming out of that van and tries to give a kiss-" Nina's face suddenly vanished and her gaze fell to the ground.

Eddie noticed this, and acted quickly, as he had been all summer with his new lovely companion. He put a hand on her arm and rubbed her back softly. "Aw, it's ok Neens, I shouldn't have brought it up."

"No, it's not your fault. There was nothing you could've done about it anyway."

Eddie snorted. "I seriously doubt that. I think a little 'chat' with Granny could've been pretty convincing-"

"Eddie," Nina snapped at him abruptly, "It wouldn't have changed anything, so don't bring Gran into this. This was a decision that had to made...it's not her fault." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "It's time that I give you something."

Eddie watched in almost horror as she pulled her locket off from her lips twitched as she brushed her thumb over it, remembering all of the memories of hers that this treasure carried. She shook her head vigorously, as if trying to shake them out of her head. She then took Eddie's hand in hers, and placed the locket in his palm, closing his grasp for him.

"Nina, I-I can't-"

"Anubis House is where it belongs, Eddie," Nina told him. "And you need to bring it back for me. I'm trusting you with this. You have to promise me you'll keep it safe wherever you are; you're my only hope, Osirian."

Eddie flinched as she called him by his formal name he had gained only a few months ago. And yet it seemed like an eternity since then. For some strange reason, he felt a pang of sorrow when it came to the thought of her not coming with him. It was his job to protect her, so why was she insisting on staying away from him? They'd be a whole ocean apart, how would he know if she needed him? What would happen if she was in danger, and there was nothing Eddie could do about it in England? What would he do then? "The Chosen One and the Osirian must be kept apart Eddie," She said, as if reading his thoughts, "I know it sounds ridiculous, but you just have to trust me on this for now."

Eddie shook his head and looked deep into her eyes, asking if she was truly honest with him right now. She nodded her head, but he could see in her eyes that they held much sorrow and he could've sworn he saw a gleam of regret. Eddie clenched his jaw and looked away, but muttered, "Ok,"

All the sudden, to his surprise Nina threw her arms around him and held on like her life depended on it. Eddie hesitated at first, but soon hugged her back just as tightly. "I'm promise I'll contact you if anything happens. And Eddie, just...please don't forget about me."

He smiled to himself. "Not a chance, Golden Girl."

After they said their final good byes, Eddie grabbed his bag and started off towards his car, thinking about how this year was gonna be. With no Nina, no one would be able to protect him from vicious attacks from Patricia or any other snotty Brits in the school. He'd probably still share a room with Fabian, and of course he'd be annoyed non-stop with Jerome and Alfie. Amber would be coming back from New York to wait for her reply from Fashion School, and Joy and Mara would be coming back too.

Eddie vaguely remembered getting an e-mail from a mysterious girl that went by the name of KT, saying she was excited to meet all of them. Who the heck was she and how did she get his e-mail?! Does the school seriously just give out personal information like that? What if she could look up his records or something? Anyone could have access to everything personal! But Eddie was torn away from his thoughts when he heard Nina call out behind him; "Eddie! Wait!"

He turned around to see her sprinting towards him, waving what looked like a piece of paper in the air. She gasped for breath when she met him again, but spoke anyway. "Give this to Fabian, will you?" She asked, handing him what Eddie now recognized as an envelope, or to be more specific, a letter.

He took it in his hand and smiled. "Sure thing, Nina." He said. He then slipped off her shoe and folded the paper in half.

Nina gave him a puzzled look. "What are you doing?" She wondered.

"For safe keeping," He slipped the letter into his shoe, and stepped back into it, making sure it wouldn't fly or fall out. "And so I don't lose it in that black hole I call a car."

"Tell me about it, I still haven't found my science book from the beginning of summer." Nina let out one more laugh and hugged him again, this time a bit tighter. "Bye Eddie."

"Bye Nina." He mumbled into her hair.

Nina loosened her grip around his neck and gave him a sad smile. He could tell tears were welling up in her eyes, but she refused to cry in front of him. She stood on the tips of her toes and gave him a chaste kiss on the cheek, and then spun around, walking back the way she came.

Eddie stood in shock for a few seconds after she left, processing what just happened. He smiled and laughed to himself, reaching his hand up to touch where she had kissed him. He mentally kicked himself for just standing there like an idiot, because when she turned around to look at him, she laughed loudly and waved.

Eddie, though he'd never admit it, blushed and chuckled too, waving back at her. He sighed a she disappeared over the hill to her Gran's house, just as the sun was setting. Just like in the movies, he thought. And he had to remember that. Because the movies always had happy endings, so all he had to do was wait for Nina's. But hopefully, they'd be a part of each other's happy endings; best friends, partners in crime, and actually not two continents apart.

Eddie groaned, remembering it was almost dark and his mom wanted him home by now to get ready to leave for school. He scoffed. Ready for school.

The words didn't seem to fit just yet, even though every teenager would say that after summer break. But this was different. It wasn't going to be the same without Nina in the England, and that did put a damper on his normal cool, joyous mood. But it was a new year, as she would say, and new things were about to come darting his way whether he'd liked it or not. And God forbid, he'd be able to handle it.

He let out a sigh once more, only hoping he'd get through it without her. "See ya later, Chosen One." He said, before getting in his car and driving back home.

3 Days Later:

I sighed as I plopped back down onto my bed for the umpteenth time that day, covering my face with my hands, trying to shield myself from melancholy and tempting thoughts entering my mind. It was the first day at school, well my old school anyway. I...I just don't feel right with not being there today. Every year at exactly this time and date, I'm sprinting down the gravel paths, my suitcase tumbling wildly behind me, towards Anubis House to meet my house mates. Who just happened to be my best friends. And the members of Sibuna. I let out a groan and looked at myself in the mirror.

My face was crimson red and my cheeks were puffy with tear stains. My hair looked like a rat's nest and my eyes were blood shot, making look sickly. I sighed. Obviously, I had been crying. A lot. No matter how much I hated being all cooped up alone in my room, it was the best thing for me right now. I knew, and Gran knew it too. She had two home nurses staying with us now, one being an actual nurse, and the other being my aunt Holly.* Our nurse was named Harmony, a petite women who was in her late 20's with long, sleek black hair. She was really sweet and everything, and she was major help to Gran, but it's just tough getting used to having her around. Especially since she hates me. She thinks I cause too much stress for Gran, always wanting to go back to England and her making her want to come with me, when all she could really do was rest and regain her health. So you can see why I'm not exactly at the top of Harmony's "Lovie List" right now.

My Aunt Holly, on the other hand, I am always glad to have around. I haven't gotten to see her in a few years since I've always been in England, and whenever I was back in America, I was always booked solid everyday of my holiday. It felt good to have that cozy family feeling with her around, and it provided a little more comfort with having to stay behind. She always tried to be as supportive as she could of me, but I could tell she felt terrible about how devastated I was. It was nice to be able to talk to her about things, it helped get my emotions out, but I know she'll have to be going soon, considering she has a family of her own as well.

Aunt Holly is married to my Uncle David with two teenage daughters, named Trina and Tori. I know I never mentioned having any cousins-or I actually never mentioned any of my family members besides Gran at all before. My aunt and uncle live in LA, about a half hour away from our house. Gran and I live in a pretty nice sized house even though it's usually only for the two of us, but I still love it. I've lived here since I was nine years old, after my parents' accident.

Gran.

Huh. I still haven't told her part in the story yet. Not long after I learned The Chosen One and the Osirian should be kept apart for now, Gran fell ill again...causing me to stay here in America to take care of her and the house...At first I actually tried convincing her to transfer out to a hospital in England before things got really bad, and to be honest I think she was going to try and go through with it, but that's why the doctor's refused and her health took a turn for the worse...I can't believe how selfish I was, actually trying to ask her to move out to another country when she was sick! How terrible can someone get?

But after a few months, Gran was finally able to come home, but only with a nurse to accompany her. Until then, Aunt Holly had stayed at the house with me while she was in the hospital, with Eddie over almost everyday this summer. She's gotten a lot better, being able to walk up and down the stairs without too much help from Harmony, but she was currently downstairs making tea for the both of us, quietly racking her exhausted brain for something, anything, that could even remotely make me feel better.

I've never been the pessimistic type, but I'm sure we both knew that was nearly impossible. There was nothing that could comfort me about not going to England except, well, going to England. And that was impossible.

Now I never want to be the one to whine, but I...I just can't help but miss everyone...so much. I haven't felt this feeling since my parents were in the hospital eight years ago, that awful, inescapable sorrow and despair that always followed you everywhere; depression.

I know I sound like i just came out of a soap opera, but it's true. I've been depressed for weeks now, ever since I found out I wasn't going to be returning to Anubis House for third year. Or possibly ever. I'd never see my friends again, never kiss my boyfriend, heck, I'll never even figure out another death threatening mystery again! Not anymore...

Ugh, I sound so pathetic! But I just can't shake that pit in my stomach...like my heart is as heavy as cement, and I can't lift it back up. That stupid feeling of tears stinging the back of my eyes, but the very last thing I want to do is cry. That...that feeling where you think there's nothing in your future worth looking forward to, and you just want to give up. But you can't. That's another feeling I hate.

I wonder how Eddie's doing right now. I know he's probably already at the house, getting greeted by everyone and eating sweets made by Trudy. He's probably laughing and talking with everyone, not a care in the world. He's having fun. The way it should be. I know I should be happy for him, but I just have this pang of jealousy knowing he has everything I could ever ask for right now, and he didn't even want it in the first place.

I kicked myself for thinking that way. Eddie deserves to be happy and to stay where he belongs, Nina, just like you are. You're where you belong. In America. At home.

I flinched as the word home echoed around in my head. This was not home for me, I couldn't deny that. But it didn't matter now. What's done is done, and there's nothing I can do about it.

All the sudden, I was torn away from my thoughts when I heard my door creak open. I spun around expecting to see Gran, but instead I saw Aunt Holly holding two steaming mugs in her hands, a warm, yet concerned smile on her face. "Here you go, hunny." She said softly.

I smiled at her a took the cup in my hands, feeling the warmth on the tips of my fingers. "Thanks, Aunt Holly." I replied, taking a sip.

I mentally sighed. Yet another thing that reminded me of England. Do you know how many gallons of tea I must've drank during the school year? Probably more than even our math teacher could count. Fabian and I would always sit on the couch and drink it together when we couldn't sleep, or just when we simply wanted it. I really did miss those times, but I missed Fabian most of all.

"Are you alright, sweetie?" Aunt Holly asked me.

I tried to put on my best brave face and nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine.

She tilted her head and raised her eye brows, giving me a little smirk that meant Don't-You-Dare-Lie-to-Me-Nina. "Hunny, please," She said, taking a seat next to me on my bed. "I have two teenage daughters I live with, you out of all people should know that I practically have mom powers."

I laughed. I then opened my mouth up to respond, but closed it when she gave the look again, practically daring me to try and lie again. I sighed. It was no use lying to Aunt Holly, or to anyone for that matter, it was just too obvious. It was probably best to let my wall drop and let someone in. "I just...miss them so much..." I whispered hoarsely.

Her brow furrowed in concern and she put her mug on my side table, pulling me into her arms. "Oh," She cooed. "I know, hunny. I'm so sorry."

We rocked back and forth on my bed as I let silent tears down my cheeks. I could tell she didn't really know what to say, given that she'd never experienced this type of situation and I wasn't her daughter, but I didn't mind much. I just needed to someone to really hold me right now. "Everything will be alright, just give it time." She whispered to me.

I nodded and slightly pulled from her embrace. "Thanks Gran," I sniffled, wiping the tears away from my cheeks. "Don't take this the wrong way, Aunt Holly, but I really just want to be alone."

She nodded and lifted herself from my bed. "Say no more, sweetie," She then picked her mug back up and then leaned down to kiss my forehead. I smiled as she turned back around in the doorway. "Dinner will be ready in an hour," She said softly.

I nodded and she closed my bedroom door behind her. I sighed and fell back onto my bed again, like I had been doing all day, and clawed at my hair. I then started to sob again, reality kicking in and remembering why I was crying in the first place. I didn't stop until I heard my phone give a little 'ding', it's screen lighting up wildly, revealing my wallpaper of everyone in front of Anubis House. This made me cry even harder.

But either way, I still picked it up and answered it, swiping my wallpaper up and entering my lock code. I looked at my messages to see a text from Eddie. I quickly pressed it and read it eagerly.

Landed safe and bout 2 meet everyone in the parkin lot

I gave a sigh of relief, knowing that he had made it there safely, but felt a tinge of pain when I read over the words 'meet everyone'. That's almost exactly what I would text to Gran when I got out of the taxi that always picked me up from the airport. I picked my phone back up and texted him;

Great! Don't forget what we talked about!

Almost before I could even walk away, Eddie replied with; How could I forget ) ttyl, time 2 tip the driver

I frowned and set my phone down, deciding not to reply. For one, he was probably busy with the mob of hugs and hi's he was getting, and honestly, I really didn't want to hear about how great it was to see everyone when I might never be able to experience that feeling again. I know you must have a lot of questions right now, like why am I stuck here in America moping around when I could be feeling unbelievable happiness in England at school, why I can't stop crying, or why can't I just pick up a dang phone and call someone? Well I know this is hard to believe, but I have questions too. And maybe, just maybe, all of our questions will be answered for the both of us. But it'll take time. I sighed once more.

Lots of time, Nina.

. . .

Not the best ending, I know, but I'm a little nervous about rewriting and posting this again. But here are some things you guys should know before you really get into the story;

*Every chapter will most likely be a rewrite of every episode in Nina's point of view, there fore you guys have the right to virtually slap me if I don't update nearly every week.

*Holly is the actual mom of Tori and Trina from Victorious, and she is Gran's daughter, hence why she's taking care of her mother now.

*This story isn't in the crossover section because it doesn't concentrate on Victorious characters (And characters mentioned from other Nick movies later on, like Hunter) as much as the first story did, but they will make many appearances and some play a vital part in Nina's life at home, so when you see Andre, Tori, Beck, and everyone pop up out of no where, now you know why.

*I might switch point of views between characters in Anubis House and Nina's side of the story in the future, but it all does depend if there were enough gaps in episodes.

Thanks so much for reading guys, and tell me if you liked it, hated it, needs improvement, if you have ideas you want me to add, anything. Also, comment on how you like the new season! I seriously miss Nina A LOT :'(

Stay Strong, Sibuna Lovers! ~Suki17
