––––––

Nina Martin got a call one early, early morning, four months after she had decided she would not be returning to Anubis House.

It had been a long time since anybody had actually taken the time to call her, usually just texting to ask what the Spanish homework was.

The last time someone had called her was actually four months ago. Not to mention this late at night.

Nina mentally calculated what time it was over in England while it was 3:00 am in Rhode Island.

Around 10:00 am.

She sat up, groaning, and rubbed her eyes, coming away with "sleepy dust." Nina ran one had through her tangled, split-end plagued hair, using the other to grab her cell phone. She squinted her tired eyes at the screen, pupils trying to make account for the name on the glowing screen.

"Whatever," she muttered, pressing the "Accept" button. "Hello?"

"Nina? Is this Nina Martin?" someone whispered on the other line.

It was an American voice, one she didn't recognize. Still bleary with sleep she nodded… then remembered this was a phone call. "Oh! Um… yes. This is she. May I ask who's speaking?"

"KT. My name is KT. And I'm in trouble," hissed the girl.

"I'm not sure I know how to help…" Nina replied, waking up now.

The girl's voice turned desperate. "Please, Nina! It's not just me who's in trouble! It's everyone! Eddie and I are in more trouble than you can possibly imagine."

At first Nina got defensive— she'd seen a hell load of trouble and had been through a lot of shit. Then the words sunk in, and she gripped the phone tighter. "Eddie? Are you at Anubis?"

"Yes! We are! But Anubis House has become a very unsafe place, and—"

"It's always been unsafe. You don't think I know that?" she interrupted sharply. This was her area of expertise.

The girl on the other end, KT, took a deep breath in before answering. "Yes, I'm sure you know that. But what I'm trying to say is very important. Sibuna is virtually destroyed, because—"

Nina gripped the phone tighter. "What?" she whispered. She left, yes, but if anything went wrong, she was certain Sibuna would have thrived anyway. "What do you mean? Isn't Fabian leading?"

Saying Fabian's name again sent a shot through her heart like a bullet. Move on, stupid, she scolded herself.

KT scoffed. "Thank God he isn't, or we'd be absolutely screwed."

This late night/early morning phone call was quickly making her anxious. "You aren't telling me why you called. And from," Nina pulled the phone from her ear and looked at the Caller ID, "Eddie's phone. Who are you, and what do you want?"

"I— we— need your help, Nina. Everyone is being shot out of the sky! I don't have the time to explain everything. You have to come back."

Nina's heart beat faster and faster. "What's happening? Why? Are you in any immediate danger?"

The girl let out what sounded like a growl. Then, her voice was almost weepy. "No, at the moment I'm fine… but I'm calling you because Robert is awake. And he's evil."

Nina was confused and growing frustrated with this weird girl. "Robert? As in Robert Frobisher-Smythe?"

"Yes."

"You're lying. The Frobisher-Smythe's are dead. I knew Sarah. She told me her parents were dead. She mentioned nothing of her father being alive. And even if he was, he never had the Elixir of Life so he'd have to be at least—"

"132 years old, yes I know! It's all very confusing and you just— you just have to come back!" KT sighed impatiently.

Nina was faced with a very tough decision— leave her sick Gran to the doctors and return to the house in which she truly belonged, or leave the people she had grown to love to fend off whatever evil was going on now. Nina was skeptical about Robert, but she was feeling that familiar tug of adventure in her heart. She knew what had to be done.

And so, holding her breath, Nina Martin, The Chosen One and Vanquisher of Darkness whispered into the phone. "I'll see you soon… I guess…"
