Nina's POV
When I was seven years old, my family was killed in cold blood right before my eyes. I'll never forget that day.
-Flashback-
"Count to ten, Mommy! You'll never find me!" a seven year old Nina says. After her mother covers her eyes Nina runs off to hide in her mom's closet.
"One, two, three-" Nina's mom stops counting as a loud bang is heard and the bedroom door opens.
A figure comes in and drops a small baby –Nina's brother- onto the bed.
Nina's mother rushes forward and clutches the baby to her chest. The figure leaves and you can hear loud crashes coming from downstairs.
"Nina, darling? Stay there, no matter what happens. Remember that we love you very much. Stay safe. We will always be in your heart," Nina's mom says, not daring to look towards the closet.
The closet has a small blind that is tilted just enough for Nina to be able to see through without anyone being able to see her.
So there little Nina sat frozen with fear as the figure through her father into her room. She watched as the figure pulled out a gun and shot her mother, and then her baby brother, all while making her father watch. Finally, he shoots her father, gives her father's limp body a goodkick, and left.
Nina watched unable to move, or speak.
-Flashback ends-
Now I'm on my way to an English boarding school. Not only a boarding school, but a MUSIC school.
Even though I don't speak, I can still sing, and play piano, and guitar.
So here I was, clutching my bag to my chest, I looked at the field when I noticed the cab driver taking my suitcase across the field of students.
As I started to race after him I ran into a group of three people and the contents of my bag spilled out. Just great.
"Hey newbie, watch where you're going!" exclaimed the red head. I just shook my head and started stuffing things into my bag.
"Hello? Cat got you're tongue? Aren't you going to apologize?" the brown haired girl exclaimed snottily.
"Oh lay off. She's obviously new. Leave her be," said the brownhaired boy as he stooped down to help me pick up my stuff.
I looked gratefully at the boy and then tried to catch up to the cab driver, thinking I had all my things.
Once I caught up to the cab driver, he'd already reached the house I was staying in.
After reaching the house, I was introduced to the caretaker, Victor, and the house mother, Trudy.
I was relieved to discover that Trudy knew sign language. She would help me around the house, but I would be on my own at school.
After introducing myself to the pair I fell on my bed upstairs. I went through my bag to find my most prized possesion, my little brother's hat.
After dumping the contents of my bag onto the bed I discovered it was gone.
I ran downstairs and started signing to Trudy my situation, when we heard the front door open.
I was now on the verge of tears and turned to the doorway to find the trio I'd run into talking about an oblect the bron haired boy was holding.
"What kind of freak carries a baby hat in their bag?" the red haired girl asked the others.
Realization dawned on my and I ran up to them grabbed the hat and turned towards Trudy and began signing once more.
Fabian's POV
Joy, Patricia, and I had been walking around campus when a pretty blonde girl ran into us.
While Patrcia and Joy made snarky remarks about the new girl I crouched down to help her gather her things.
She gave me a grateful look and took off after a man carrying a suitcase. When I looked down at the ground I noticed a little baby hat and stooped to pick it up.
"Huh. She must've forgotten it," I said. Patricia and Joy looked over and scoffed.
As we aproached Anubis House, Patricia said, "What kind of freak carries a baby hat in their bag?"
We entered the house to see Trudy talking to the new girl I'd run into earlier. She was making motions with her hands when she noticed the hat in my hand.
She ran forward and snatched the hat out of my bag and turned towards Trudy. She started making hand motions when Trudy remembered we were here.
"Oh hello dearies. This is Nina Martin, she's from America," Trudy said.
The new girl waved and turned towards Trudy. After a few more hand motions, Trudy said, "Oh you'll be staying with Amber. She hasn't come back yet so you'll meet her later."
"Hi Nina, I'm Fabian, Fabian Rutter" I said. She smiled at me and shook my hand. Trudy left the room when I introduced myself, so Patricia took the opputunity to insult her.
"Why aren't you talking freak? And what's with the weird hand motions?" Patricia said.
Nina shook her head and went to her room upstairs.
Wow. I started writing this in the middle of the night last night and just finished today. I know that was long but I promise that the other chapters will be more thought through and hve less rambling. This chapter was kind of an introduction.
