Better Than Revenge

A/N: No, this song isn't about Nina using Jerome to make Fabian jealous. Don't be confused by the title! Anyways, I don't want to have anything to do with the whole Anubis House anymore. Instead, I made up my own mystery. Enjoy like a bottle of coke!

Disclaimer: I don't own House of Anubis.

Chapter 1: Bloody Necklaces & Red Indents

Jerome's POV

It was offical; Fabina was over. After Joy came back for good, it kind of went downhill from there. Fabian and Joy started biting each other's faces off and blah, blah, blah! Present day, the whole Sibuna club is sitting on the floor in Nina's & Amber's room, staring at each other, looking like a few idiots. Fabian has Joy on his lap, and Joy's looking at everyone with victorious sneers.

"Excuse me, but why does she have to be here?" Amber says, pointing at Joy with disgust. I almost laugh, but Nina gazes at me with a pleading smile. I stop. Since when did I start listening to Nina?

"Well, she was almost the Chosen One and she's my girlfriend!" Yeah almost, I smirk. Nothing like being the real thing. Fabian starts to say more, but Amber cuts him off. "OKAY! Well, we have a new mystery to solve but it doesn't have anything to do with the Anubis house. Nina, the floor's all yours!" Ha, that was kind of funny. Nina cracks a smile and stands up. I haven't seen her smile since Prom night. Yeah, Fabian "broke up" with her right after the kiss. What a prick!

"Um, okay. Late last night, both Amber and I had a dream. Sarah told us our time with the house is over and there's a new mystery. Apparently, it involves the school. Sarah said, I quote, "...Something's within the school...If you tell anyone not involved, they will die...No one's allowed to leave the case or you too would die...If you don't solve the mystery, the Chosen One will die..."

The room is eerie silent for a few minutes. Unfortunately for us and everyone with ears, Joy breaks the silence by screaming, "Another mystery! Gosh, I'm so sick & tired of keeping a secret and being the Chosen One!"

"Okay, that's enough, bitch! You're not the Chosen One! And if this wasn't so serious, I would tell you to get out! But no! You would die! And it would upset little Fabian over here!" I yell at Joy, losing control. I storm out of the room. I hear footsteps following me but I frankly don't care. Very British, Clarke, very British.

Nina's POV

Another Sibuna meeting, another opportunity to see Joy claim Fabian as her own. Why did Fabian choose her? After all I did for him! All those hints! That kiss at Prom, by the way, where he "dumped" me. Why did I say I loved him? I don't even love him anymore after seeing his true colors. Sigh. That's how life rolls.

Anyways, the whole Sibuna club is crowded in Amber's & mine room. With Joy, of course, perched on Fabian's lap. Amber makes a remark about why Joy's here, Jerome almost laughs but I send him a pleading smile. He stops as soon as he started. Hmm, what's up with Jerome...with his golden blonde hair and beautiful brown eyes-WHAT AM I SAYING? I focus back on Amber as she announces I have the floor. I smile a little since it's kind of funny. I start to tell the group, that consist of my closest friends, about the dream Amber & I had of Sarah telling us about a new mystery. It perks my interest how Amber was included in my Sarah dreams. Secretly, I'm freaked about the new mystery. What's within the school? After I finished the story, everyone stares at me. Then Joy opens her stupid mouth and groans about how it's tiring being the Chosen One. Um, newsflash? She's not the Chosen One, I am! I open my mouth to object when Jerome yells exactly what I was thinking. He storms out of the room. I stand back up and follow him.

"JEROME!" I scream after him. He ignores me and runs out of the house. I follow him, catching up with him. I tackle him to the ground. He stares up at me. "How did you do that?"

I smirk, "There's so much you don't know about me." Then we just stare into each other's eyes. His hands grasp my waist as my heart speeds up. He's going to kiss me! He's going to kiss me! He's going to kiss me! My eyes flash disappointment as he directs me off of him. I blush, not noticing how I was straddling him. Kind of...wrong, if you know what I'm saying. Jerome blushes too, laying back down on the grass. I start to lay back but I notice where we are.

"Jerome, look!" I point to the school. My necklace shines, like it's saying, yes, you're here! I get up and walk over to the school to touch the walls. Suddenly, my necklace is torn from my neck. Red indents appear on my neck and collarbone but I don't care. I run after my necklace as it's dragged through the halls of the school. Jerome and I chase after it. I slip on a puddle of water and I feel myself falling backwards. Oh no...this is totally going to leave a bruise. I close my eyes, but instead of hitting the floor, I feel two strong arms wrap themselves around me. I stare into Jerome's eyes again as we're in an awkward position.

"Thanks," I mutter untangling myself from his arms. I wince, missing the warmth from his arms-WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? Am I in love with Jerome? Oh god, it's a love rectangle. My necklace stops in front of a door that's labeled 'Don't Enter.'

Jerome's POV

Okay, Nina loves to go in detail about EVERYTHING, so I'm going to recap it all: I run out of the house after telling Joy off, Nina follows me and tackles me to the ground, we're in a sexual position (very...awkward...), we're about to kiss but STUPID, STUPID me swats her off of me. Then Nina's necklace breaks off of her neck, we follow it into school, some idiot left a puddle of water right smack in the hallway, Nina almost falls, but I catch her. Again, sexual position. Think of dead puppies! Dead puppies! Nina untangles herself from my arms and finds her necklace near a door that's marked 'Don't Enter.' Her body felt so...right in my arms. Am I falling for Nina Martin?

Okay, you're all caught up? Good, because I'm not repeating it. Nina grabs her necklace and stares at the door. "Jerome, do you see this?" No, I want to reply, because I'm too busy staring at you. "Yes," I force myself to say, tearing my eyes away from Nina.

"We have to tell the others!" Nina starts to run back to the Anubis House. I sigh and start to run after her. After about four minutes of solid running, we reach the hosue and run in. We bolt upstairs where a fight currently is brewing: Amber's slapping Joy again and again (HA!), Alfie is trying to pull Amber away, and Patricia (Surprise, surprise!) is defending Nina by yelling at Fabian and throwing her arms up in his face.

"Stop it!" Nina and I both yell, trying to stop the chaos. Everyone stops what they're doing and it looks like we paused a TV show or something: Amber's hand is inches away Joy's face, Alfie's arms are in mid-air of trying to grab Amber, and Patricia's mouth is halfway open, one arm in Fabian's face.

"Nina, oh, I'm so sorry!" Amber wails, hugging Nina. I jump away from Nina, in hope of not getting trampled. Patricia steps up and hugs Nina too, which really shocked everyone. Patricia glares at everyone, "What? I'm friends with Nina now! If anyone ever hurts Nina, they've just joined the Patricia's Hate Club." She grins evilly as everyone in a two foot radius of Patricia, steps away. Including me.

"Guys, we've found a clue!" Nina gestures to me and smiles softly. I grin back. "Wait, what do you mean 'we'? And are those hickies on your neck?" Fabian asks, glaring at me. My eyes widen as I look back at Nina. She stares back. Bloody necklaces and red indents...

Everyone stares at us, waiting for an answer. Nina licks her lips' and starts to reply...
