This will have everyone in Anubis, their fear. A quick one-shot about them all.
Nina Martin- Power outages
"All the world's a stage," Nina and the rest of her class heard the year after the Mask of Anubis mystery had been solved and they turned to the doorway, "And the men and women… merely players. Hey, remember me?"
"Mr. Winkler!" Amber couldn't help running up and wrapping her arms around the man's small waist. Soon, Nina and Patricia joined as well.
"Good to see you guys." He let out a small chuckle.
"We heard from Ms. Robinson that your situation was… not the best…" Patricia trailed off, "And that you weren't returning."
"Well, good news is I'm cancer-free." He smiled.
"That's great." Nina said.
"Okay, class, let's get started." He began, "Now, I understand that Nina and Fabian are an item so can I ask you guys to perform a scene from Romeo and Juliet?"
"Um." Nina stuttered, "We, uh…"
"Yeah, what she said." Fabian looked at his feet.
"THEY SPLIT UP!" Jerome shouted to Mr. Winkler, "A bit of time ago actually."
"Oh, that's too bad." Mr. Winkler said.
The lights flickered, the PA went on and off, and then the lights were gone for good leaving Nina screaming bloody murder and clinging to Fabian for dear life.
"TURN IT ON!" Nina shouted, "TURN IT ON! JEROME PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS ONE OF YOUR SICK JOKES!"
"Wasn't me!" Jerome put his hands up.
"Nina, Nina, calm down." Fabian said, wrapping his arms around her and rubbing her back.
Tears flowed from Nina's eyes like a waterfall. Power outages were her weak point and always would be. It was only because there was a powerful rainstorm the night of her parents death. And she was alone in her dark house, while her parents her driving in the rain. Trying to get home. They were right outside her house when it happened. When they're car slid down the rainy street, slamming into the phone line at the end of the cul-de-sac. The fuse box thing fell on their car, bursting it into flames. Nina swears she felt their pain when they died.
Reliving it all in her mind made her cling tighter to Fabian.
Nina couldn't stand the feeling of having no power. It was dark and would make her feel alone even if she was in a room full of a thousand people. But strangely, in Fabian's arms, she didn't feel alone.
You know he's the one Nina. A voice in her head said was it… her mom? Talking to her? Like Sarah did? I met your father the same way. You know the story, we were always best friends. Sure we were never Prom King and Queen but still. And you heard him say it, he isn't over you. He loves you and you love him. He makes you feel safe and I know he'll always protect you. Don't be afraid baby, not while he's there for you. Your father and I love you very much Nina and we're so very proud of you.
The tears stopped flowing from Nina's eyes and she looked up and Fabian.
"Are you okay?" he asked, caring as ever.
"I will be." Nina promised, "If you kissed me."
Fabian didn't hesitate to lean over and kiss her softly. With his warm, soft lips against hers again Nina felt she could conquer anything.
"I love you." Nina said as she broke away.
"I love you too." Fabian smiled.
From then on, Nina thanked power outages for bringing her back to her true love.
