Hey there! Natalie here! This'll be my first Fanfiction... ever. And so I'm hoping it'll be a success! And everyone who reads can help me by reviewing! I accept anonymous reviews, so theres no excuse not to! I openly welcome constructive critism, but NOT flames! Flame me I'll flame you back. And you do not want that to happen. ;) Anyways, this is a relativly short chapter. And I promise the rest will be much longer! For I personally hate reading short stories.

Well, I worked really hard to get this story where it is (I'm on about chapter four right now...) and I really hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!

House of Isis

*** Before You Read: ***

Isis was the wife of Osiris and the mother of Horus. She was the goddess of rebirth and spent much time among her people teaching them different skills. Isis was a moon goddess, she was known as the "Mother/Giver of life" but also the "Crone of death". She had two Brothers Osiris and Set, Set had killed Osiris, jealous of his power but Isis brought him back to life. Isis was the "Goddess of Magic". Isis also raised Anubis.

At this English Boarding School the head of the house can choose to keep the original students for another year or get a new set of students. Normally Victor chooses to keep his students, to make things easier, but under the circumstances he has chosen to receive new students, sending all of the old Anubis House students to the House of Isis. Everything seemed so perfect, everyone, including Joy, was back for another year. But, boy was perfect the wrong word to describe this year.

Chapter 1:

Nina Martin took a few cautious steps up to the House of Isis, not knowing what to expect. She slowly knocked on the door and waited for a hopefully Trudy-Like housemother to answer. Instead a man, looking in his late 40's or 50's, slammed the door open and looked at Nina like she was a disease.

"Who are you?" He demanded.

"Um…Nina Martin, I'm, uhh, supposed to be staying here. This is the House of Isis, right?" Nina said, in a stuttered attempt to explain herself.

"Yes," He mumbled. "I'm Mr. Reynolds, groundskeeper, come in." Mr. Reynolds grumbled, allowing Nina to enter.

As soon as Nina was inside and the door was locked, he darted up the stairs to what was probably his office. And before Nina could ask any further questions his door shut and the sound echoed through the house.

Nina set her suitcase down, "Hello?"

"Oh, hello! I'm Mrs. Stewart, your housemother, but you can call me Emily, if you'd like." Emily announced.

"Hi Emily, nice to meet you." Nina told her.

"Likewise, so I'm assuming you know your housemates unless you're new of course." Emily said.

"No, I'm not new. It's the same students that were in the House of Anubis right?" Nina asked.

"Yes, well somewhat, we have a slightly larger house, with 3 boy's rooms and 3 girl's rooms, so there are 2 new boys and 1 new girl." Emily explained.

"Oh, okay, are we picking our rooms or were they assigned?" Nina asked hoping she would get to room with Amber.

"They're assigned, kind of, we asked your old housemother, Trudy, who was friends and who roomed before and we came up with the idea that you will be rooming with Amber Millington." Emily told her.

"Great! Exactly what I wanted!" Nina exclaimed with a subtle wink.

"So why don't you go unpack, you are in the second room on the left, upstairs of course, and Amber is already up there." Emily told her and Nina scurried off to her room.

"Nice girl," Emily murmured while walking into the kitchen.

"Oh Nina, I'm SO glad you're here!" Amber exclaimed jumping to her feet when Nina arrived, "I was SO bored without you!"

"Amber! I missed you so much!" Nina said, "Is anyone else here?"

"By that do you mean, is Fabian here?" Amber asked, "Because if so, the answer is yes."

Nina laughed, "Well that's good to know, but I actually wanted to know if anyone else was here too."

"I think everyone even the 'newbies'." Amber replied.

"I've always hated that word, 'newbies'," Nina said mockingly.

"Okay fine, 'new kids'!" Amber said, "Better?"

"Much, now are you almost done unpacking? I've been here for 15 minutes and I'm almost done, who knows how long you've been here." Nina told her.

"Only a couple of hours, and I spent the first one meeting the 'newb'- new kids." Amber said, correcting herself.

"Oh, who are the new kids?" Nina asked.

"Madison, James, and Evan." Amber said, "And there I'm done unpacking."

"Great, me too, now why don't we go catch up with everyone else?" Nina offered.

"Okay, let's go," Amber said and they strode downstairs to see everyone they had missed over the summer.

"Patricia! Joy!" Nina called as she noticed Patricia and Joy leaving their room.

"Hey Nina, hey Amber!" Patricia replied, turning to face them.

"Hey Amber! Hi Nina." Joy said flatly, she was still a little bitter over Fabian dating Nina.

"So, are you guys rooming together?" Nina asked.

"Yes," Patricia said, glancing at Joy who was staring at the floor.

"Oh, well that's good! So then Mara's rooming with Madison?" Nina said.

"Yeah, have you met new kids yet?" Patricia asked.

"No, Amber has though," Nina pointed to Amber who was looking around the upstairs hallway.

"Oh, yeah. I have." Amber said standing up taller, pretending she'd been paying attention to the entire conversation.

"Well, I haven't, but I want to. So I'm going." Patricia announced bravely.

"Okay, I'm coming." Nina stated, pulling Amber along with her, Patricia did the same with Joy.

When they got downstairs, Madison and one of the boys were sitting on the couch. Jerome, Alfie, Mara, Mick and Fabian were also in there.

"Nina!" Fabian exclaimed, jumping to his feet.

"Fabian!" Nina replied, and they embraced in a giant hug.

Nina sat down next to Fabian, then turned towards Madison, "Hi, I'm Nina."

"Hey, I'm Madison, but you can call me Maddie," Maddie told her.

"Or you can call her-"

"Shut. Up." Maddie said turning towards the boy.

"I'm Evan." Evan told Nina.

"Hey,"

"Wait, what can we call her?" Jerome asked, him and Alfie snickering.

"Nothing." Maddie snapped staring at Jerome.

Jerome raised his arms in surrender, "Okay, okay."

"So nice to see you again Jerome." Nina said flatly, "I see you haven't changed."

Jerome smirked, "I haven't."

"I can tell." Patricia interrupted, quickly.

"Where's the other new kid?" Joy asked Evan.

"James is probably unpacking or something, I don't know, I just met him." Evan responded.

"So, did you two already like, know each other?" Amber asked, pointing to Maddie and Evan.

"We've lived next door to each other our whole lives, my parents wanted to send me here and his decided that he should come, too." Maddie explained.

"I think that was the other way around…" Evan muttered.

"Oh, what does it matter?" Maddie asked, glaring at him.

Nina turned back towards Fabian," I think it's kind of obvious they've known each other for more than an hour." Fabian laughed.

Time passed quickly, short random conversations filled the awkward silences. Soon enough it was time for dinner.

"Let's hope this is good as Trudy food," Jerome murmured, while standing up to go to the kitchen.

Alfie gasped, "Impossible!"

"What's Trudy food?" Maddie asked.

"Oh, you have not lived until you've eaten Trudy food!" Alfie exclaimed.

"What. Is. Trudy. Food…?" Maddie asked, growing impatient.

"Trudy food is a type of food with an unnatural balance of deliciousness, made by a woman named Trudy." Alfie explained, or attempted to at least.

"Well, that much I got." Maddie said.

The food at dinner was surprisingly Trudy food-like.

"Gasp! This tastes just like Trudy food!" Alfie called, after a few bites.

"Does that mean I have lived?" Maddie asked sarcastically.

"For now, I guess this is an exception." Alfie replied.

Emily entered the kitchen, "So is everyone happy with their rooms and roommates?"

A murmur of agreement went across the room.

"Okay, just checking, and how's the food?"

"AMAZING!" Alfie cried.

Another murmur of agreement swept through the room and then Emily left and everyone went back to their private conversations.

"So Maddie," Evan said, grinning.

Maddie groaned, "What?"

"What's wrong? You're not excited I'm here?" Evan teased.

"Thrilled, you are, after all, my favorite person ever." Maddie said sarcastically, with almost no tone.

"I bet I am." Evan agreed.

"Sure."

After dinner everyone went back to their rooms.

"Nina, what do you think of the new kids?" Amber asked once the door was closed securely.

"They're cool, it's kind of, weird that Maddie and Evan have known each other their whole lives, isn't it?" Nina asked.

"I guess… Anyways, are you and Fabian official?" Amber asked.

"Um, yeah, we are." Nina said. Amber giggled.

"Well, Finally! Took you two long enough!" Amber announced, practically jumping up and down with excitement. Nina laughed.

"It's not really THAT big of a deal!" Nina said, calming Amber down.

"Oh, it is! It really is!" Amber cried.

Nina sighed, bracing herself for the nonsense to come.

"Now I'll have to make you a new scrapbook. Keeping the original name of 'Fabina' of course. It'll have have hearts, and pictures, and glitter!" Amber rambled, almost completely in one breath.

"Amber, could you quietdown please?" Nina pleaded, "I'm going to bed, try to keep your excitement under control. She muttered the last part slightly under her breath. But appearently not enough, Amber heard. And shrieked. And passed out on the bed.

Sooo...? Was it good? Bad? Awful? Wonderful? So fantastically amazing it made you cry? Whatever your opinion, REVIEW! But rememeber, no flames.

Farewell for now my darlings! I'll be back soon!
