I don't own House of Anubis!
Prologue
Nina's Pov
(Last day of Summer, Nina and her Gran's House)
I lie in my bed throwing darts and the picture of a dart board I hung on my ceiling. I was just waiting. Waiting for this day to end because tomorrow, I go back to England. I was just about throw the dart when 'ring ring ring ring!' the phone on my bed side table rang, startling me enough to throw my dart at the wall probably leaving a hole.
I picked up the phone figuring that it was Amber or Patricia so forgot about the caller ID and held it to my ear.
"Hello?" I asked getting off the bed and reaching for the dart
"Is this Nina Reynoldi Martinta?" a man with a British sounding accent
"Yes, this is Nina Martin. Not many people call me by my full name. May ask who's calling?" I asked
"Nina, this is your Grandfather" he said on the other line
"I'm sorry, my grandfather past years ago. I think you have the wrong girl" I answered
"No, you're thinking of your mother's parents. I am you father's father" he answered sounding distinct
"Oh, well It's just that I don't think I ever actually met you. Sorry that I couldn't recognize you" I caringly
"That's no need to apologize dear girl! Well I understand that your attending a boarding school near my summer home. I was wondering if you'd like to come visit. I'll be there for a while and I really need to tell you something" he now sounding like he was practically begging
"Um… sure" I said unsurely "You live in England?" I asked
"Um… not exactly" he suddenly sounded guilty now
"So can I have the address, tomorrow is my first day back so I can come visit the day after once school is over" I offered
"Oh, I'll send a car" he said
"You can do that?" I asked, how much money does this guy have?
"Oh, it's no problem at all" he said "I've got to go but, I'll see you in a few days" he said
"Alright, bye" I said as I hung up the phone
Today was my first day of school. I stood out side the door of my ture home, Anubis House, debating whether I should go in yet or not. I didn't see any lights on so I figured no one was there. So, I stood there, silently. Come on Nina! Just open the door! My inner voice said
I extended my shaky hand and gripped the door handle. I turned it and gently pushed the door open. I peeked inside to discover that nobody was insight and all the lights were off. It was pitch black so I had to move along the wall to find the light switch. I clicked it on and along with the lights turning on, the all the house members jumped out of hiding spaces like behind the grandfather clock and behind the couch and yelled "SURPRISE! WELCOME HOME!"
I thought I was going to have a heart attack! I smiled and laughed and felt giddy all at the same time. It was the best feeling in the world. I was truly home at last.
Fabian and Amber came out from behind the couch, Jerome the grandfather clock, Alfie the Sarcophagus, Patricia and Mara behind the counter and Mick came the closet in the boy's hall.
"Guys!" I exclaimed
"Nina! I'm so happy you're back! I was so worried that you weren't and that's big for me because worrying causes wrinkles!" Amber squealed giving me a hug.
"Hello Nina" Fabian said giving me an awkward smile, we never talked about prom so things have been kind of odd between us
"Whoa!" Alfie exclaimed "You can practically feel the awkward in the air" he said being followed by a punch in the shoulder by Patricia
"It's great to see you everbody!"I gave them a big group hug
This was going to be an interesting year. And you have no idea how much it changed my life.
