A/N- Hey guys! Here's chapter 2 of Safe and Sound. Hope you like it! Thanks for the amazing reviews! I've got 5 so far, so let's see…hopefully you guys will review more! Oh, and just so you know, from here on out, I'm dividing each chapter into two parts. The first part in Nina's POV and the second part in another person's POV. I think Nina deserves her own part because this story centers on her. Okay, enjoy the chapter!

Part 1

"WHAT?" The Sibuna gang screamed.

Patricia, Amber, Jerome, Alfie, and Joy (well of course she's part of the club) were staring at me and Fabian like we were insane. All I did was give them a nod. We both told them everything. And for some reason, we both remembered every word of the petrifying message. Every word. Just recollecting the look on Fabian's face, the message slowly emerging on the wall, the blood dripping down, and the slight shake of this animate house sends chills down my back. Just being in my room for the club meeting is making me want to scream.

"So, are you sure that this isn't one of Jerome and Alfie's pranks?" Patricia said, eyeballing the two. Jerome and Alfie looked appalled, and put a hand over their chest, as if Patricia just pricked them in the heart.

"Patricia, I am HURT for the very little trust you have in the both of us!" Jerome said.

"After all we've been through!" Alfie chimed in.

"Guys," I said, slightly smiling. "I don't think even Jerome and Alfie would have the guts to do something like that."

"Thank you Nina!" Alfie said.

"At least one of you lot trusts and believes in us!" Jerome said. I rolled my eyes a bit playfully.

"And even if they did, I don't see how they could have had the words emerging, or the house shaking. They're not wizards you know, Patricia." Joy said. Patricia rolled her eyes.

"Just a thought," Patricia murmured.

"Wait what did…they…say again?" Amber asked.

"Please pay attention next time Amber!" Fabian complained. I nodded in agreement.

"Sorry, just seeing if I could analyze it further!" Amber said.

"Who knew you actually knew the word 'analyze'?" Joy said. We laughed half-heartedly.

"Just repeating that once is awful, I don't want to have to repeat it again," I said, but let out a sigh, as I started to recite the dreadful message.

"You may think that this is over,

You may think that the search is over,

You may think that your job is done,

But in Anubis house it's never over. EVER.

If you don't find what I ask, you will die a painful death.

BY ME.

Do what I say…

Or else…"

"Whoa," The Sibuna Club echoed in unison, as if this was the first time they heard it.

"So the question is who could've done it? Or what could've done it? And why?" Amber asked.

"I don't know," I admitted. "It obviously couldn't be a person…like Joy said they're not wizards."

"So is it…the house?" Patricia asked.

"Well, Sarah said the house wasn't evil, so that doesn't…" But my voice trailed off, as I thought about that. The house. Talking to me again. "Maybe…maybe the house is like….sending a message through someone….and the house showed it to me,"

"It must be the aliens!" Alfie said. "Or zombies!" Jerome started cracking up.

"Okay, this is getting far too absurd." Jerome said, but couldn't help laughing at Alfie's ridiculous comment.

"Well we know that it couldn't be a person though, there are no such things as magicians!" Amber said.

"But I wouldn't be surprised if there was a magician," Fabian said. I smiled a bit.

"So what is it that you have to do exactly?" Jerome asked me.

"I don't know," I admitted, yet again. "They never even specified." Although, for some weird reason, I didn't want to know. Why is the house speaking to me again? Is there more to the mystery?

"So what do we do?" Amber asked. "I mean, come on guys, are you sure that you're not kidding around with us. Please, I've had enough scariness from last night. I almost died from Rufus! And FYI, those pimples made him look like an ugly troll."

"Amber, shut up," Patricia whined.

"Well, it's true!" Amber said.

"Well, we need to stick together more than ever now." Fabian said. "We're not letting Nina… die."

"Aw poor Fabian! His little girlfriend could die!" Jerome teased. I could feel my cheeks slightly heating up, and my lips pulling into a slight smile. I should've said yes to the girlfriend offer. Or was saying no the right thing? Okay, forget it, now's not the time to indulge in romance.

"Shut up, Jerome!" Fabian said, smacking him. "Okay, so I say that someone needs to look after Nina…we should take like, shifts…or something."

"I'll take the night shift!" Amber chimes in. "Since I'm roomies with her…duh."

"Wait hold up," I said, stopping Fabian's ingenious plan. "I don't think it's the best idea to take shifts over me...I mean it seems far-fetched to me. Are you sure, you guys want to like bodyguard me?"

"Nina," Patricia said, saying my name in a harsh British tone. "This whole thing is far-fetched. Body guarding you is the least we can do…the least far-fetched anyway. We're a club, remember? Sibuna?"

"Fine, but you guys just remember….I know how to take care of myself, alright?"

"Alright, Nina whatever you say," Alfie said, smiling.

"Okay, so night-shifts…Amber," Fabian said. "I'll walk Nina to school and from school and Jerome you…"

But I didn't listen to whatever Fabian said. After that I was listening to another voice. A voice in my head….and it wasn't even Sarah's voice. And as this voice ringed in my head, I was prepared to die right on the spot, of utter fear and confusion.

Foolish chosen one…even with the President's body guards, you are no longer safe. Do what we say or else…

Part Two: Mara's POV

"Mick, do you ever stop thinking about eating?" I laughed, snatching two cupcakes away from his hands. Could my life get any better? I go to an amazing boarding school; I have the hottest boyfriend ever, and I have great friends. I think after last night's mara-culous prom night, I've been extremely absent-minded about everything…like I'm in a different universe, with none other than Mick Campbell.

"What? I'm done with training; I can eat all the sweets I want!" Mick said, flashing that cute smile of his.

"Just because you're not training, doesn't mean you can eat anything you want. You want to maintain that 'hot bod' of yours then you need to have a healthy diet!" I said smiling.

"Okay, fine just so I don't lose you from a fat bod and not a hot bod," He said, bringing me into his arms. I giggled.

"You could never get rid of me that easily," I laughed, and leaned in to meet his lips. As we pulled away all he did was give me another smile.

"Hey, do you mind doing me a favor? Jerome borrowed my lucky soccer ball, and he hasn't given it back yet."

"Didn't he just borrow it…this morning?" I asked. My mind went on Jerome. When Mick left, for some reason, Jerome was being nice to me. And this is Jerome we're talking about. He's never nice. He helped me out with elections, and nominated me in the first place. Even when he bailed on me in the end, he still helped me out. I was grateful for that...I really was...I almost felt bad for ditching Jerome like that...for when he asked me to see that movie and lunch. But, Mick was here. Mick's my boyfriend. That whole Jerome story is over. No more discussing it further. Jerome hates me now, anyway. Like I care.

"Yes…it's been like, 6 whole hours!" He exasperated, snapping me out of my thoughts on Jerome. I laughed, and gave him a playful shove.

"Alright, I'll go and get him." I said. "Don't eat the cupcakes though," He rolled his eyes playfully, and I gave him a smile, and went in front of Jerome's room. I knocked on the door.

"Jerome?" I called out. No answer. Where was he? I knocked once again…I don't want to disturb. Again no answer. Fed up, I opened the door, and I saw no one in the room. Where have those pranksters gone? Confused, I went inside Mick's room to see if Fabian was there, but again, no one was in the room as well. I started to get intrigued. Where could have Jerome, Alfie and Fabian gone? I started climbing up the stairs to see if perhaps Patricia knew where Jerome and Alfie were. Thoughts of Patricia started to swirl around in my head. She's been avoiding me lately for Nina, Amber, Fabian and the Jokesters. Was she upset that I was going out with Mick? Was she jealous, perhaps? Then again…this is Patricia we're talking about. She never even thinks about going out with any of the boys in this odd house. Is she starting to hate me? Maybe I should apologize to her, and start making even more time for her. After all, friends come first, before boyfriends. I started to go inside my room.

"Patricia, can I…" My voice trailed off as soon as I saw our room. Empty. Joy wasn't even in the room. Of course, I thought. She must obviously be in Nina's room. Again.

I started walking to Nina and Amber's room, and I noticed the door was shut. To be polite, I was about to knock on the door, when I started to hear things. And they weren't about school.

"Guys, listen," I heard what sounded like Fabian's voice. "It doesn't matter if we have to…as Alfie would say 'stalk' Nina. We're a club. Besides looking for Egyptian treasure, which we've already done, we have to be there for eachother, because right now, Nina's in danger."

A number of questions whirled inside my head. What Egyptian Treasure? Why were they looking for it? Why is Nina in danger? Why are they stalking her, or protecting her? What's going on?

"It's not just Nina. We're all in danger." I heard a high pitch girly voice that was obviously Amber.

"How are we all in danger, Amber?" An annoyed voice echoed, which I could instantly tell was my best friend's voice.

There was a short pause. "Because now they know we know that they know that Nina knows it's dangerous, and that now they know we know that we have to protect her."

I could hear muffled laughter. "What?" I heard a confused, quiet voice that I think was Joy's.

"I don't know," Amber said, defenseless. I almost laughed, but forced myself to remain quiet.

"Amber, do you ever make any sense?" I heard a deep, slightly sinister voice that belonged to Jerome. Oh yeah, I almost forgot what I was even doing here. I decided to knock, but then I heard something dreadful.

Screaming.

"Nina?" I heard Fabian's voice.

"Can't…it's….coming…." I heard a weak voice. Then I heard a loud thud.

"Nina! Nina!" I heard people scream inside the room.

"She's fainted!" Amber said frantically.

"The zombies are coming!" Alfie wailed.

"Someone get Victor! Or Trudy! Quick!" I heard Fabian scream. Then I looked at the doorknob as it quickly twisted, and before I could make a run for it, I see Jerome, tall and skinny, looking at me, his eyes wide and frantic.

"Mara?" He said, almost in a harsh tone. "What are you doing here?"

"I…I…" I stuttered. But I didn't know what to say. How can I tell Jerome that I was eavesdropping? Instead, I did something that seemed logical at the time, seeing Nina collapsed on the floor.

I ran to Victor's office.
