I've been working on this for awhile, handwriting it and then typing it in my free-time. It took a lot longer to type up then I thought it would, but then again I switched the POV it was written in. Italics are either emphasis or words Fabian's writing in his journal, usually the latter. Anyways, the timeline doesn't apply to a lot of the season two episode, so I guess you could say it's almost AU. I apologise beforehand for all of the OOCness, but I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer- I do not own House of Anubis, I'm just a simple fan-fic writer.


'Mason. His name is Mason. He was the guy who took one of the most important people in my life and changed her; the guy who changed Nina. He would tell her he loved her, and then he would hurt her, physically and emotionally. But she couldn't do anything about it. Then soon, the words started to pierce her, they inflicted wounds that would never heal; wounds that only love could numb.

She took it to heart, and she changed. She'd skip meals, and no matter how much I try to get her to eat, she'd find some excuse and I'd give up. Because Nina's stubborn, and once she's made up her mind, there's no use trying to change it. I'm sure the extent of her change goes farther than that, but it's hard to tell.

I tried to get Amber to break through to her, but I don't think she really notices what's going on. I know she's Nina's best friend, but she can be a little clueless sometimes. I don't think the others notice either; they never were as close to Nina as Amber and I, but you'd expect them to be paying at least a little attention. If they did notice, however, they never mentioned anything. But then again, I could be the only one who actually pays attention to those things; those little details that mean everything.

Not to mention the fact she's been pushing us away. Amber has noticed that little tidbit, so has Alfie, and Patricia, and so has Joy. I'm not sure about Jerome, Mara, and Eddie; they aren't exactly what I'd consider associated with Nina, not like Amber and I. Alfie and Patricia are not as close to her, but they're there, they're her friends as well. Joy is neither associated nor as close. I only know that she knows because a certain someone has more free-time, and is always trying to hang out with him. That person just so happens to be me, but that's a story for another day.

Ever since they began to date, she seemed to forget about me, about Sibuna. There's a part of me that believes it is all my fault, and I don't doubt it either. If Nina and I had never broken up, then she never would have dated Mason, and we could've avoided all this tragedy. Which is why I am where I am now, sitting on my bed in mine and Eddie's room blaming myself for Nina's suffering, writing all this down for no reason besides trying to get it out of my head. Too bad it isn't working.'

Fabian looked over what he had just written, and sighed, not quite satisfied with what he wrote. With that, he ripped the paper to shreds and burned them in the candle he had on a table next to him. He let out another sigh and fell backwards, letting his head hang off the other side of his bed. He laid there for a couple minutes until he heard a knock at the door and sat up.

"Fabian? Are you in there?" Amber said from outside the door.

"Come in Amber," Fabian replied, and waited anxiously for Amber to spill what was on her mind. Amber opened the door a little and peeked in. She turned back around, checking for other signs of life in the hallways. Seeing no one she stepped into Fabian's room.

"Fabian, I miss Nina," she said quietly, a hint of sadness in her voice.

"I do too, Amber."

"I know," she said in a way only Amber could. "It's like everybody except for her can see how she's changed! Old Nina would be ashamed of New Nina!" Fabian nodded his head in agreement, and grinned inwardly, now knowing Amber actually waspaying attention. "I want Old Nina back." Amber continued lowering her voice again.

"I think everyone wants Old Nina back."

"No, I don't think New Nina wants Old Nina back."

"I hope she does."

"When she first started dating Mason, I thought she was only dating him to make you jealous. Now I'm not so sure."

"She's completely forgotten about me, why would she try and make me jealous."

"That isn't true."

"Yeah it is."

"No, it isn't."

"If she remembered, she'd know how much I liked her for who she was! I mean, I only make it as plain as day! If she remembered, she never would have changed!" Fabian yelled, realising how loud he was speaking, he lowered his voice again. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled."

"Tell Nina that." Amber said before walking out of Fabian's room, leaving Fabian to his thoughts. He knew Amber was right, but he didn't know how or when the perfect time to tell her would be.


That evening at dinner, Fabian sat down at his usual seat waiting for Nina, but she didn't show.

"She's at Osiris House, eating with Mason." Patricia said before Fabian could even ask.

'Mason, I should have guessed.' "Gah!" Fabian groaned/yelled out in frustration. "I hate him so much! Words can't even describe how much I dislike the guy!" he continued, oddly out of character.

"Join the club mate," Jerome said. Alfie, Patricia, Amber, Eddie, Mara, andJoy all nodded in agreement. "We hate him just as much as you do. Well, almost as much as you do." You know something is serious when all the kids in Anubis House agree on something.

"Ow, my eye!" Amber said, bringing her left hand up to her left eye. 'Smooth Amber, smooth.' "I'm going to need someone to come look at it for me." she continued with a subtle wink, or maybe it was a blink. Only facial expressions could give away her intentions, but with Amber it's hard to tell if she really is trying to keep a secret. "Fabian, will you look at it for me, please?" she asked before she stood up and dragged Fabian up the stairs, Alfie following behind them.

They went to Amber's and Nina's room and waited for Patricia who arrived a few minutes later. Even though she assured them no one was following, they found it was better to continue in hushed voices.

"We need Nina back! Just because we found the Mask of Anubis doesn't mean our lives aren't still at stake. This is Anubis House for crying out loud!" Amber said in a loud whisper after Patricia walked in.

"Not only that, but I have bad vibes coming from this Mason dude." Fabian said quietly.

"No kidding! That guy creeps me out!" Patricia said in a loud whisper equivalent to Amber's.

"What are we going to do?" Alfie asked.

"I don't know." Fabian replied. They all sat in silence for what felt like forever until Amber spoke.

"We wait." And wait they did.


So that was the first chapter, it was relatively short, but then it's a relatively short story too. For anyone interested, I'm working on a larger House of Anubis fic that requires OCs. There is an application on my profile, and if you want to know what it's about PM me, please. Also, feel free to leave a review. Thank you.
