Hi guys. I'm SOOOOOOOOOO sorry I haven't been updating Prepare for D.C. Anubis: Life After This. I trying to hard to come up with interesting chapters. I promise and update from that story soon. I came up with this story during a Study Hall at school and I have an idea for this short story. It won't be a 30 chapter story. Maybe a 10 chapter story. There won't be a lot of cliffhangers.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own House of Anubis. (I WATCHED IT ON TEENNICK AND THE DELETED SCENES WERE DKJFKDJFKDJGKFDJGKDFJHG;JHDFJGHDFGJD!)

CHAPTER ONE

NINA'S POV~

I didn't enjoy the car ride to our new home. I didn't enjoy receiving the news about this. I'm scared to death right now. I'm only 7 and I already lost both of my parents in a "terrible accident" as Gran put it. She is taking me to a new state. I think it's either Pennsylvania…or Ohio? Maybe…England? Well, I'll never be able to go back to Arizona. Gran said it's a bad place.

"Gran, how much longer?" I asked from the back seat of the car. She was silent for a while.

"Gran?" I asked once more, hoping for an answer.

"Soon, Nina, We will be there soon." Gran said softly from the driver's seat.

My name is Nina Martin and I'm forever leaving my home because of my parent's terrible accident. My life is changing…forever.

FABIAN'S POV

"Mum! Why do we have to leave our home?" I asked from the kitchen table. My mum was packing away the dishes and my dad was packing the television away.

" Fabian, darling…we are just leaving our home, okay?" Mum answered. It was still confusing. Mick, my friend, was eating an orange while petting Spartacus, my Husky.

"Maybe you're moving?" Mick said with a mouthful of oranges. Spartacus barked and I scratched his head.

"Fabian, go upstairs with Mick and pack some of your toys up in boxes." Dad called from the Common Room. Mick and I glanced at each other and reluctantly hopped off the chairs. Spartacus followed us up the long, marble, spiral staircase.

"Oh son…" Dad said to me. Mick continued up the stairs and into my room…followed by Spartacus.

"Yeah, Dad?" I asked. He came up to me and had me stick my hands out. He placed one of his hands over my eyes and dropped something in my cupped hands. He pulled away and there was a necklace in my hands. "It was mine as a kid."

"Happy 8th Birthday, Fabian." He said messing with my hair, smiling. I placed the necklace around my neck, fingering the guitar pick that hung loosely from the string. I hurried back to my room yelling, "Thank you!" to dad. Spartacus was chewing on Mick's shoelaces.

"Mick, look what-" There was a loud bang from downstairs that shook the entire house. I grabbed Mick and Spartacus and we hid under my bed.

"CHARLES!"

My name is Fabian Rutter and at the age of 8, my life changed…forever.

~8 YEARS LATER

NINA'S POV

"Is it okay if I drop your stuff off here, love?" My cab driver asked holding my green splattered suitcase in his hands.

"Um, yeah that's fine." I said staring up at the school. It's gigantic.

"Anubis House is right down this pathway. Take that turn to the left and it's the first House on that curb." I gave him his pay and we bid goodbye to each other. I started walking down to my house. My eyes were focused on the map in my hand. Everything has changed since-

"UMMPH!"

My papers fell from my hands after running into someone.

"I am so sorry." We both said at the same time. It was a boy. I looked up at him and his cheeks were flushed with a rosy, red blush. He knelt down and picked up my house information. He glanced at it, up at me, then back at the paper. He handed it back to me and I neatly gathered them together.

"So, you're new here?" He finally said after a very awkward silence between us.

"Yeah…"

"You're American, too?" He said with a little smile.

"And you're English, too? Glad we got that settled between us." We both shared a small laugh. I looked back at my papers and let out a stressed sigh.

"I'm terribly lost, confused, and…excited about starting here but, everything before this has been a very scary rollercoaster. I mean…" I stared into his eyes and I just then realized that I was rambling on about it.

"I have to find my house…" I said grabbing my suitcase. But, he started following me.

"I live in Anubis, too and I want to know what you were about to say…if that doesn't, um, bother you…" He said drifting off in his words.

"Um, I'm Fabian Rutter." He said stepping in front of me. I looked him over and gave him a smile. I stuck my hand out in front of us and he grabbed it.

"Hi, I'm Nina Martin." I said while we shook hands. We started walking to Anubis, together. He was really sweet. He ended up carrying my suitcase for me the rest of the way.

"Fabian!" It was another boy with blond hair. A preppy blond was by his side. They both came over to us but their smiles slowly effaced.

"Who's she?" The blond girl asked. Fabian looked over at me and then back at the two standing before us.

"This is Nina Martin. She's from America. Nina," He looked over at me with his hand gestured towards the two, "this is Mick Campbell and Amber Millington." They both gave me a weak smile.

"What house did you get placed in?" Mick asked.

"Um…" I was searching through all my papers. I knew what house I was already in though, but it was just a reflect.

"A-Anubis House." I stammered. Amber brightened up just a bit.

"That's-"

"Our house too, Amber." Fabian finished. He gave me a warm smile. Mick and Amber headed off to the house saying goodbye to Fabian.

"They just have to warm up to you, that's all." Fabian said reassuringly.

"If you say so Fabian." I said taking my suitcase from his hand.

"Nina, I got this." But I pulled the suitcase back into my grip.

"You know Fabian…you have been so nice to me, but I'm just going to let you go. Do whatever you want to do. Talk to Mick and Amber, read, I don't know." I said looking down at the grass.

"What?" He asked confusingly.

"You don't need to help this lost, confused, hopeless new student." I started towards the house, regretting I even said that to the only person who has cared the most about my presence.

He didn't follow me…he just stood there in shock.

What have I done?

Just something small I came up with. Tell me what you think and if I should continue it.
