My first House Of Anubis Fanfiction. There's a poll on my profile for a you to pick what couples/pairings you want in this story.

Everyone crowded in to the room for breakfast. Alfie was going in about aliens and everything else was normal. Well as normal as things could be for those who lived in Anubis house. Things were rarely normal in the house as there was always something strange happening.

Mick and Mara were busy talking about something. No one else could hear as they were speaking to quietly. Mick then raised his voice back to a normal level.

"Oh thanks babes. I'm going for a run. I'll see you in school." Mick said before kissing Mara on the check.

This made Jerome feel sick as he hated the relationship that Mick and Mara had. Mara left soon after Mick to go and finish of some homework that was due in next week sometime knowing what she was like. After Mara left the room it just left the Sibuna group.

"So what do we know?" Alfie asked.

"Well we can't put the puzzle pieces together unless we have the chosen one and we know what the date of the special day is." Nina said remembering what Jerome had told them.

"Well we need to know more information." Patricia started. Jerome looked up at her knowing what she was going to suggest, "Jerome had to meet up with Rufus and get more information."

Jerome was about to speak, but Fabian spoke first. "That's a great idea I over heard Victor telling Trudy that he woild be out tonight, so we can get Rufus to come here." Fabian finished.

Nina started to continue Fabian's sentence. "And Jerome can him to go into the cellar and we can trap him in there." Nina finished excitedly forgetting the faults that the plan had.

"Can I just say that that plan didn't work before when we tried it," Amber stated as she walked out of the kitchen and back through the dining room, "Anyway I've got to go and finish sorting out my hair." She finished as she left the room.

"I have no intension of meeting Rufus again. Nor do I plan on taking him down to the cellar again, because one that plan failed last time and two as soon as he figures out that I'm lying he'll mummify me." Jerome said finally managing to speak over the others, "Alive." He added at the end for the emphasis of it, while looking very unhappy.

"Come on Jerome," Nina begged, "Rufus is the only one with the information that we need."

"You'll be fine mate." Alfie said trying to convince Jerome to lead Rufus to the house. They find a way for the plan to work.

"Fine I'll call him later, but if anything, any little thing goes wrong then I'm blaming you lot." Jerome said before grabbing his bag and walking out of the room.

"Do you think we can get the plan to work this time?" Nina asked trying to think of how they could make sure that it did.

"I don't know, but if it fails and anything happens to Jerome I'll blame you as well." Alfie said in a calmer tone before he got up and walked to his room.

~ Outside of Anubis House ~

Jerome walked out of Anubis house and was planning on walking to school when out of nowhere he felt an arm on his back and a hand o n the right side of his ribcage.

He looked round behind him before seeing Rufus's face and tuning his head forward again to avoid looking at him.

"Hello Jerome."

"Rufus you couldn't have rang my mobile?" Jerome half said, half asked.

"That doesn't matter what have you got me?" He asked. Jerome who wasn't ready for the question quickly answered "Nothing." How soon he realised that that was the wrong thing to say as he was thrown against a wall by Rufus who was the only thing holding him up.

Before Jerome could even stop himself he said, "But I can get you something." Rufus let go f Jerome and smiled that wickedly evil smile of his.

"When can you get something for me?" Rufus asked.

Jerome tried to think of when Fabian had said that Victor would be ouut. Tonight? Tomorrow? No Fabian said tonight.

"Tonight Victors out I'll let you in."

"We tried that before and Victor came back."

"Then come at eleven o' clock instead, but I'm sure that he'll be back later than you think."

"Okay I'll meet you tonight," Rufus said as he let Jerome go and began to walk away, "Oh and Jerome I'd better have those puzzle pieces or," He paused, " Well you already know what I'm capable of." Rufus finished as he walked away.

When Rufus was out of sight Jerome left the tunnel to walk back to school and tell the other.

He still managed to get in to class before their teacher (even though he was technically ten minutes late,) and take his usual seat next to Alfie.

The rest of the Sibuna gang looked at him strangely wondering why he was here so late when he had left so early?

Mr Winkler walked then walked in, so they started the lesson none of them getting the chance to speak to Jerome.

~ After History ~

"Mate where were you?" Alfie asked, "You were really late to history, but you left before us."

"I took the scenic route." Jerome lied trying not to bring up the fact that he ran in to Rufus.

"But there isn't a scenic route to get to school." Nina pointed out, but Jerome was gone before anything else could be said on the subject.

~ After School ~

Alfie walked into the room to see his roommate lying on his bed. Jerome hadn't noticed Alfie, so he decided to break the silence.

"So have you rang Rufus yet?"

"No need."

"What Jerome you've got to stick to the plan, so you-"

"Rufus met me this morning," Alfie just stood still on the spot, "He's already coming here at eleven."

"That's great!"

"Not really."

Alfie didn't reply to that as he just didn't know what he was supposed to say back he knew Jerome didn't like Rufus, but he had a feeling that there was still something that Jerome wasn't telling him.

~ At Dinner ~

At dinner Jerome didn't eat anything he just sat there for about ten minutes before handing his plate and glass to Trudy and walked away.

This left everyone else in the room a little shocked. Jerome was either first to finish, (Which usually happened most of the time,) or he would eat everything and wait for everyone else or just Alfie to finish before walking off, but today he'd just walked off.

Mara and Mick were on wash duty that night and Victor had just left to go to wherever he was going and had just given the keys to Trudy.

"Right Sibuna meeting now," Nina started before even thinking of where they were going to go and then she just quickly blurted out, "In Alfie and Jerome's room."

"Why Alfie and Jerome's ro- oh right Jerome's in Sibuna now as well." Amber said remembering that they'd let the blonde join.

"Yeah and he's still got to ring Rufus." Patricia said as she stood up and took her plate and glass over to Mara who gave her a silent thank you. Alfie wanted to reply to what Patricia said about ringing Rufus, but quickly stopped himself thinking it better if Jerome told them.

~ Jerome and Alfie's Room ~

Alfie opened the door carefully not wanting to just come walking in if Jerome was in there.

Jerome was lying on his bed when Alfie and the rest of the Sibuna club walked in. As soon as Alfie shut the door Jerome was sat up looking at them.

"Sibuna meeting." Fabian stated casually. Jerome's face became less shocked after this announcement.

"Okay Jerome ring Rufus." Nina said picking Jerome's mobile up off of the floor and handed it to him.

"No need." Jerome said as he took the mobile out of Nina's outstretched hand and placed it on his bed.

Nina, Amber, Patricia and Fabian just looked at Jerome in confusion. Alfie however wasn't as confused as they were since he already knew exactly what Jerome was going to say.

"Why n-" Fabian started, but was soon interrupted by Jerome.

"Rufus met me this morning." It was such a simple statement, but it brought out so many different questions.

"So you rang him this morning?" Patricia asked.

"No."

"Then how exactly did Rufus know how to meet you?" Amber asked.

"He just met me outside of the house this morning." Jerome said wishing to drop the subject of Rufus so that he could rest for a while, however the other didn't quite get the message.

"But-" Nina started.

"He's coming here at eleven, so that he can go back down to the cellar, but this time your plans going to work right?" Jerome said and asked the rest of the group.

"Yeah it should." Patricia said.

"I don't know maybe we should change the plan a little." Nina said as she thought about last time.

Alfie soon had an idea that sounded good to everyone else so they went with that hoping that all would go to plan.

"Right everyone it's ten o' clock, so you have five minutes and then I want to hear a pin drop." Trudy said as the girls headed upstairs. Patricia, Nina and Amber heading out of Jerome and Alfie's room and Mara leaving the dining table.

Alfie shut the door to his and Jerome's room after everyone else had walked out of the room.

Jerome was sat on the floor fiddling with whatever he was able to get his hands on. For some reason Jerome's hands wouldn't stay still.

"Jerome is something the matter?" Alfie asked his friend who was dressed for bed already.

"No Alfie why should there be something?" Jerome asked like he'd just woken up from a three day long daze or sleep.

"No there shouldn't be, but I just wondered if there was."

"No Alfie there's nothing wrong with me, but thanks for the concern." Jerome said as if he wasn't afraid of meeting Rufus tonight. That was the voice of the strong Jerome, the Jerome that Alfie met when he first came here when he had just turned twelve.

There was a knock on the door before the pair heard Trudy's voice. "Can I come in?" She asked. Jerome quickly pushed himself up on to his bed and climbed in under the covers. Alfie did the same, but he just slipped into bed as he was stood up.

Both of them then answered. "Yes."

Trudy walked in and said that five minutes was up, so they had to turn the lights off and go to sleep.

Alfie was asleep in a matter of minutes with Jerome's mobile's alarm set to wake them up. However Jerome couldn't get to sleep he was to scared of what would happen if the plan failed this time if Rufus figured out that Jerome was just playing him.

Jerome glanced over at his sleeping roommate before truning his head back to the wall.

He just closed his eyes and laid in his bed. After all there was no way he was getting any sleep tonight.
