Chapter 2 still in Nina's POV
When I finally woke up, I thought maybe, just maybe, it had been a dream. Maybe. I looked around, and noticed I was in the nurse's office, and I hoped I had fainted in the attic! I looked over and saw Patricia and Amber, and knew I was wrong. Amber was now in the navy blue track suit I had seen earlier. And Patricia... I was scared!
When I came to Anubis House, I was a little scared of Patricia, I'll admit it. She had red hair, bright highlights, black leggings under her tighter-than-what-the-rest-of-us-wore skirt, and an attitude to go with it all. But she took some warming up to, and confirming that I had nothing to do with the disappearance of her best friend, Joy. This Patricia, smiled brightly at me. "Oh! She's awake! Good morning! Well I guess it's afternoon now!" she giggled.
Patricia had her hair dyed... a dark blond color one shade lighter than mine. And she had highlights, blond ones. And if you saw what she was wearing, you'd faint. She had on a hot pink, frilly top, a bright blue ruffled skirt, a yellow rain coat, (I hadn't even noticed the pitter-pattering of the rain outside) hot pink rain boots, a brightly colored set of hot pink and blue feather earrings that match the outfit, and a bright blue feather necklace, that matched the earrings.
I felt myself become dizzy again. Amber leaped across the room and actually managed to steady me. "This is the nurse's office." she told me. I opened my mouth to tell her that I already knew that, but thought better of it. "Come on, I set up your room. It was quite a workout!"
I got up, then realized something, I hadn't brought anything! How did she get it? As if she read my mind she said "Victor brought it up earlier!"
I wondered, would Trudy be sour and Victor nice? This was very strange, I hadn't even thought of them! How did Victor get my stuff? We walked to our room in silence, all the way from the school. Amber suddenly broke the silence by saying "Don't you just hate the rain sometimes?"
I nodded and didn't expect what came out next;
"I can't jog in the rain! But at least there's big puddles to stomp in! Too bad I didn't come prepared like Patricia!" she said as we entered the room I had fainted in. It had been 3 hours. All my stuff was there, organized liked it had been once upon a time in the real world. I wondered my friends would notice I was gone, or if time froze outside of this world...
I hoped it froze, so they wouldn't be sad if I was gone long. So that I could probably see Fabian again if I was stuck for a long time, and they wouldn't all be old... or gone... I sighed and tried to think happy thoughts, but couldn't. So I laid down in my new old room and took a nap, hoping this would only be a dream.
***BACK IN THE REAL WORLD***
"NINA!" Fabian jumped towards the machine as Nina began to fade away, until POOF! She had disappeared into nothing!
"Where'd she go?" ask Amber.
"I don't know! She just disappeared!" he began to tear up. His first love, gone for good. Amber broke down crying she would never see her best friend either. All because of some crazy machine.
Just then the rest of Sibuna entered, "What's wrong with you two?" Patricia ask Silence... "WHERE'S NINA?" She demanded.
"Anyone else got deja vu?" ask Alfie.
"Nina... She, she went to look at that machine... And..." Amber sobbed loudly.
"We have to get her back..." Fabian muttered "She can't be gone..."
