Hey guys! Fortunately, I have very little homework tonight, so I got this chapter finished! Thanks so much for the reviews on the prologue- I'm glad to see a few of you already intrigued! And now, for the first chapter! Hope you enjoy!

I, HOUSEOFSTORIES99 DO NOT OWN HOUSE OF ANUBIS!

~A few days earlier~

(Eddie's P.O.V.)

"Can't you just bribe your Dad or something?" Patricia whines

I shrug, and rub her shoulders. "If only it were the easy." I tell her, kissing her forehead.

One of my favorite things about England, is the weather sucks. Apparently we're supposed to get 6-12 inches of snow AND ice tonight, and the temperature is going to be a high of -5 degrees. (Yes, I live in England, but I still measure temperature in Fahrenheit- Patricia harasses me daily for it.)

If the bad weather does come, the paths to the school will be extremely dangerous to walk on, and Dad will have to cancel school.

If it wasn't obvious already, we are all praying for tomorrow off.

Another thing I like about bitter cold England; it has given me the perfect excuse to cuddle in bed with my girlfriend all evening.

Patricia pulls my blankets closer to her face, then lays her head on my chest.

"It's so cold." she murmurs, moving herself closer to me, even more than she already was.

I smirk. "You know, you might warm up a lot faster if you took your clothes off."

She smacks my arm. "You're such a perv." she mutters

I scoff. "Me? A perv? You're the one who had Sexual Lust as your reaction, Yacker." I tease her.

"Yeah but it's not like I could control that." she snaps

"I know, I know." I assure her, while I run my fingers through her hair.

She sighs. "I still can't believe I don't remember any of that madness." she whispers.

"It's okay, babe. According to Harriet, the book said that when everyone would come off their reactions...they would respond to it differently. And for you...it's not remembering." I tell her.

She looks at me with confusion. "So is that why we all forget what happened, except for Fabian?" she questions

I nod. "I think so."

She then laces her fingers through mine. We lay there in silence, holding eachother.

"I love you." she murmurs.

"I love you too." I reply

Soon after, she drifts off into sleep.

(KT's P.O.V.)

I love movie nights.

I don't know which part about them I like the best: the unlimited popcorn Trudy makes us, chatting with the other girls, watching a good film, or sitting on Fabian's lap for the entire movie...

Yeah, I think it's the last one.

Willow and Joy had insisted on watching New Moon tonight. Then, Mara told them she had only seen Twilight. Joy and Willow, being the big Twilight freaks they are, forced Mara to watch New Moon with them. Since New Moon is one of my favorite movies, they invited me too.

We also invited Patricia, but she wanted no part of it.

When the four of us were setting everything up in the living room for our night of fun, Jerome and Alfie started making fun of how "wimpy" Edward and Jacob are. Fabian, decided to join in by saying no one in the entire movie could act.

They, like Mara, had only seen the first movie, so they were forced to join us as well.

So here we sit. Willow is sitting on Alfie's lap, at the end of the couch that I'm sitting on. (Well, technically I'm not sitting on the couch because I'm on Fabian's lap, but whatever.)

Jerome and Joy have taken up the other couch by laying down on it together. Then there's Mara, who sits awkwardly on the floor at Fabian and I's feet.

We're just getting to the scene where Bella is about to jump off the cliff to see Edward. I squeeze Fabian's hand; this part always gets my heart racing.

As Bella's standing at the edge of the cliff, taking off her jacket, Alfie suddenly jumps off the couch, knocking Willow down to the floor.

"DON'T DO IT BELLA!" he screams.

I can't help but burst out laughing. I'm not certain which part is funnier- the look on Willow's face as she landed on the floor, or the sincerity in Alfie's voice.

Everyone joins in on the laugher, especially Willow.

Then, Bella jumps off the cliff, and plummets into the water.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Alfie screams

Now, none of us can stop laughing. Even as Bella crashes her head against the rocks, and begins to drown, we all continue to laugh.

A confused Trudy suddenly enters the room.

"What's so funny?" she asks

No one can stop laughing to explain to her what just happened.

"Well then. Maybe you all will find it funny that Mr. Sweet just called me to announce that school is officially canceled for tomorrow!" Trudy exclaims

We all clap and cheer. Even Alfie, who still looks upset.

"Alright, enjoy the rest of your movie." she says before she leaves the room again.

I turn my attention back to the TV. Jacob is trying to revive Bella. Then, she opens her eyes.

"Yes he saved her!" Alfie cheers, with tears in his eyes

Willow rubs his back soothingly. "Of course he did silly! There wouldn't be an entire saga without her now would there?" she murmurs

Smirking, I lean my head back on Fabian's chest. He tilts his head down, and pecks my lips.

"You hate this don't you?" I whisper to him

He shakes his head. "Actually, not as much as I thought I would." he admits

I chuckle, and give him another quick kiss.

The rest of the movie is more entertaining than usual, with Alfie cheering every chance he got. When the credits start to roll, Alfie's a mess.

"That...that was the best movie I've ever seen." he whispers to Willow.

Willow takes his hand, as she bends down to pick up their bowl of popcorn. "We can watch Eclipse tomorrow since we have the day off." she says

Alfie nods his head excitedly. "Oh yes please please please please!" he exclaims

I laugh, and lean back on Fabian again.

We're all talking and what not when Victor storms into the room.

"I know there is no school tomorrow, but I still expect you all to be in bed by the time I hear a pin drop!" he booms

Everyone scrambles to their feet, and hurry towards their rooms.

Before I head upstairs, I give Fabian one last kiss.

"I love you." he tells me

"I love you too." I reply, not even a second after.

He smiles, and we both go our seperate ways.

I couldn't have asked for a better night.

(Alfie's P.O.V.)

"Alfie Lewis, I swear you are the strangest human being I've ever known." Jerome says to me, as he's climbing into his bed.

"What? That was a great movie!" I reply defensively.

Jerome rolls his eyes. "I'll see you in the morning dude. Good night." he mumbles

"Good night." I say back, as I slip into my own bed.

For some reason, it's taking me awhile to fall asleep tonight. I must have had too much popcorn.

I sit up in my bed. Jerome is sound asleep by now. Sighing, I quickly and quietly slide out of my bed.

It's times like this when those late night Sibuna meetings come in handy. I'm able to slip out of my room without making a peep. Before Sibuna, I never could have done that.

I creep into the kitchen. All I want is a sip of milk, and then I'll go back to bed.

Or maybe I'll have a cookie or two...

Before I know it, I've eaten 7 chocolate chip cookies, and drank an entire glass of milk. Needless to say, I won't be asleep for awhile.

One more Alfie...that's all you need...

Creak!

I spin around. Is someone there?!

"Hello?" I whisper.

No response.

Creak!

There it is again. It sounds like it's coming from the pantry...

Crash!

Okay, someone is definitely in there...

I grab a broom that just happens to be next to the fridge.

Slowly, I creep up to the closed pantry door. I twist the doorknob...

What happens next is quick.

The broom is yanked from my hands. A white cloth is shoved over my mouth, and a gross, gassy taste fills my mouth. I don't even get a chance to call out for help.

After a few seconds, I feel incredibly sleepy. Next thing I know, a giant black sack is shoved over my head.

What is going on?!

I become weightless, and feel like I'm floating. My eyes are growing heavy...

I try to cling to consciousness for as long as I can, but it's no use. I soon fall into a deep sleep...

Yeah, I know. Not my best work...

Anyway, what do you think happened to Alfie? Did you like the ultra Peddie and Kabian?

I don't know when I'll update again, but I hope to not procrastinate for too long.

I'll probably update Broken next, then Oblivious, then this. So be on the look out.

As always, thanks for reading! PRETTY PLEASE REVIEW WITH A CHERRY ON TOP!

That's all for now! Have a good night- SIBUNA!
