I wrote this over a year ago for a fandom I used to be in and cause of my lack of confidence for my Once Upon a Time stories, I felt like posting this instead for a while. Yes, I know it kinda sucks…minus the "kinda" part. Lol. And I'm sorry if the little interjections (in bold, throughout the story) are a bit annoying, Idky but I decided to keep them. So yeah. And this was written over a year ago, so I doubt I'll finish it, but (somehow!) I made it a lot longer than my usual OUAT stories so I'll have enough to just post for a while. Review if you are/were a HOA fan!
This starts somewhere after they crossed the chasm in season 2, and eddie is not the osirian; nina is there; Senkhara and rufus did not get sucked down into hell :(
Nina looked out the window of her cab. A lot had happened last semester. She had found the mask of Anubis and gave it to Senkhara, everyone had just about given up the idea of eternal life, and Vera was put in jail. All that's behind you now thought Nina. She wanted to have a normal year here for once. Everything was perfect, Joy was less interested in Fabian, Victor had no idea where the cup was hidden and best of all, and she had gotten Senkhara off her back. Or so she thought….
"Hey Eddie!" called Patricia as she ran up to him.
Eddie kept walking.
"How's little sweetie junior?" Patricia said mockingly.
Eddie glared at her. "Shut up!" he yelled and stormed away. Patricia looked a little confused.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
"NINA!" cried Amber as she came running up her.
Nina had barely just walked into the house when almost everyone flooded into the hallway to greet her. Fabian and Nina hugged.
"I missed you" said Fabian. Nina smiled.
They leaned in to kiss when Amber grabbed Nina's arm and dragged her up the stairs. "Wait until you see our room!" she said. Fabian and Nina looked at each other with that "oh Amber" look.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
On the way to class Patricia ran up to Eddie. He had a "ugh" look on his face as he ignored Patricia and kept walking.
"Eddie!" Patricia said and put her hand on his shoulder.
"What!?" he said, ripping it off.
"I just came to apologize for the sweetie junior thing" said Patricia.
"Oh" said Eddie, "I'm not mad about that I just don't want to be reminded that I'm related to him"
Patricia smirked. "What happened?"
Eddie opened his mouth but then people started flooding the hallways. Eddie disappeared in the crowd.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Everyone sat at the dinner table while Trudy brought out the food. "Sibuna reunion Frobishersmythe's study. Pass it on" whispered Amber.
After dinner all the sibuna's gathered in the dusty old study. "This brings back memories" said Patricia.
"That's not exactly what I would call a good thing" said Nina.
Everyone sat around on the old furniture and Fabian put out the leftover food he had swiped from the kitchen.
"Ugh! Frobisher needed a cleaning lady!" said Amber.
She hit the chair with her hand and a cloud of dust rose up. Everyone coughed and tried to fan the dust away with their hands.
"Wait stop" said Fabian. Everyone quieted. "I hear someone" said Fabian.
Just then the door to the study started opening. "Victor!" Nina said nervously.
"Everyone! Through the bookcase!" said Fabian.
They pressed themselves against the bookcase and it turned around just as Victor entered the study. The sibuna's were scanned and turned back to look through the hole in the bookcase. What they saw was Victor coming after them.
"Aha! I know you're in there! Come out immediately or the consequences will be severe!" shouted Victor.
"What do we do?" Amber said nervously.
"You won't come out? I guess I'll just wait here until you do!" said Victor.
"Let's go!" mouthed Nina and they ran away.
They ran through all the tunnels, over the chasm, and didn't stop until they reached the mask room.
"This is bad" said Patricia.
"How long is he going to stay in there?" said Nina.
Fabian put his arm around her. "Don't worry he can't wait there forever" he said, "We just have to wait here until he leaves"
"or gets eaten by the zombies in the basement!" said Alfie.
Amber whacked his shoulder and he fell against the wall. He knocked a painting off the wall to reveal an eye of Horus indentation. Nina walked over and her necklace started to glow. She put her locket in the indentation and a door slid open to reveal a little panel in the wall. There was a small pedestal inside with a note on it. Nina picked it up and it said this was one thing I was never able to get (I suck at poetry so I just did that)
"weird" said Amber.
"Yeah…well we should go check if Victor is still there" said Nina.
Fabian peered through the hole in the bookcase. "He's asleep" he whispered.
He pushed the button and the bookcase turned around. They tiptoed across the room.
"Phew! That was close" said Nina.
"Yes but what did the note mean?" asked Fabian.
"Let's not worry about it, it was just some note that Frobisher wrote" said Nina. She was determined to have a normal school year for once. "Goodnight" she said and kissed him on the cheek.
*Nina's dream*
Nina was walking home from school, alone. She smiled at the thought that she would finally have a normal semester here. Suddenly the note floated down and landed in her hands. She read it and when she looked up; she saw Senkhara standing right in front of her. "Get away from me! Get away from me!" Nina screamed and turned around to run. Senkhara flashed in right in front her. "Do not disobey me!" she snapped, "find it!" Nina looked confused. "Find what?" she asked. "The water of Isis! (I just made that up) find it or forfeit your life!" Senkhara said. Nina awoke, startled, and said "not again!"
