A/N: So, part one of the first episode. I hope this is good and that you guys like it. I don't know where this is going yet, but we'll see. Any questions, just hit me up at the reviews. Also, English is not my first language, so any mistakes, just tell me. Thanks for reading and enjoy :)

I took my sunglasses off as I stared at the school for a few seconds. Memories filled my brain as I shook my head, laughing. Here I was. Valerie Cruz. Back to the boarding school. The same place where I had made good friends, had my heart broken, made bad and good memories. I never thought that my mother would agree to let me attend junior year again after what happened last time. I had missed an entire school year. Three months in a coma. Two months in the hospital, regaining my strength and doing check-ups. And seven months back in my country, doing… well, nothing.

I could have gone back to school if I wanted to, but I needed to organize my thoughts. What better way to do it than taking a gap year? My mother was not okay with it at first, but after I had convinced my psychiatrist to tell her that "going back to school would not be good for my mental health", she quickly accepted.

And when my gap year was finally over, I decided that I wanted to come back to England. As I said, I made good friends in here. But I would never admit it in front of them.

"Valerie?" I turn around to see Fabian standing there, smiling at me. "Is that really you?"

"Hey, Fabes." I asked, approaching him. "Yeah. Back from the dead."

"It's so good to see you." He says, giving me a hug. Oh boy. I had forgot how much British boys liked to give everyone hugs. I awkwardly hugged him back, pulling away after a few moments. "How are you doing?"

"Good. Better than I was last time we saw each other." I joked, shrugging. "How about you? How's Nina? And Sam?"

"I think we are about to find out." He says, grinning as a car stopped next to us. He approached it, opening the door, and backing away quickly. "Wow. You're not Nina."

"Last time I checked, no. How is it going, roomie?" A blonde guy asked, getting out of the car.

They hugged briefly, tapping each other's back.

"Good to see you, Eddie. I'll get the door." Fabian said, closing the car's door

I cleared my throat, and the blonde guy turned to me. "Hi. I'm Eddie." He says, with a smile.

"I'm Valerie." I reply, as I smiled back at him.

"Are you new here?" He asked, seeming a little bit too interested in me.

"I could ask you the same thing." I answered, blinking my eyes, as I shrugged. "I used to study here about… two years ago. Then things happened, and I had to leave." I explained. "What's your story?"

"I got transferred from America last term." He answered.

"Which part?"

"Excuse me?"

"Which part of America? North America? South America?"

"I'm from the United States."

"So you are from North America." I say, nodding my head. "I'm from Brazil, South America."

"Oh… right." He said, looking over my shoulders. "Dad." He exclaimed.

I walked over to Fabian's side, only to see Eddie giving Mr. Sweet a hug. I frowned. "Mr. Sweet has a son?"

"Apparently, yes."

"Wow."

"I know."

Eddie walked over to us, with a sigh.

"So…" Fabian started. "Have you seen Nina?"

"What?" Eddie asked.

"At the airport?"

"Dude, play cool, all right?" Eddie said, as we heard a loud scream through the campus.

"JEROME!" It was Mara, who dropped her things on the ground, and ran straight to Jerome's arms. Was her voice more annoying than I remembered, or what?

"I think I'm going to throw up a rainbow." I muttered, forcing myself to look away from the scene.

"Playing cool. Not a British thing." Eddie said, shaking his head.

"Agreed."

"Gross. Come here, Jerry."

They all hugged each other, and I stood there, staring awkwardly at my own feet. It was not that I wasn't happy to see Jerome or Mara. Believe me, my feelings towards Jerome were long gone and I had come to the conclusion that Mara was more of a victim than a bitch. And I was happy for them when Amber told me via e-mail that they started dating – but still. When I left, I was not in a good place with neither of them. I was afraid that maybe, my previous behavior could make things unconformable.

"Valerie?" Jerome asked, looking at me with wide eyes.

"What's up, cowboy?" I asked, smiling at him.

He approached me. "Can I…?"

"You have four seconds." I replied. He smiled at me, and gave me a quick hug. I pulled away, and looked at Mara. "I'll give you six seconds."

She laughed as I approached her, and we hugged. "It's good to have you back, Valerie."

"Of course it is." I say, pulling away from the hug. "Who else is supposed to make you all laugh by getting into trouble?"

Fabian shook his head, turning to Jerome and Mara. "I guess I don't need to ask how your vacation was."

"Oh, it was awful, wasn't it, Jerome?" Mara replied.

"HEY GUYS." Alfie screamed, running towards us. "Baby V?"

"Hello, A-Dog." I replied, smiling. I missed having Alfie around. He was funny. He gave me a big hug, before turning to the others.

"What a day to get stuck in traffic. Trudy's cookies may be gone. This is a disaster of epic proportions, guys." He exclaimed, with a funny voice.

"Wow, Wow, Wow. Alfie, haven't you had enough sugar?" Fabian asked, raising an eyebrow.

"NO!" He yelled, grabbing one of my hands. "COME ON V. COOKIES."

I laughed, shaking my head. "Oh yes. I missed Trudy's cookies." I commented, as we started to run towards the Anubis House.

( . . . )

When we entered the house, Alfie let go of my hand and ran towards the kitchen.

"HONEYS, WE'RE HOME!" Eddie yelled. Soon, Amber and Joy appeared in the top of the staircases.

"Hi guys." They said together, smiling. "VALERIE, YOU'RE BACK."

"I AM." I yelled back at them.

They got downstairs, and we hugged. I missed them. Other than Mick, Joy and Amber were my best friends. I hope we would still share that connection this year.

"Oh, my lovelies. Back again." Trudy said, greeting us with open arms.

"TRUDY!" I yelled happily, giving her a hug. "I missed you."

"Valerie?" She asked, shocked, as she hugged me back. "And in a good mood? Oh, what happened during this year you spent away, honey?"

I laughed, as she let me go, and hugged the others.

"What about Nina? Is she here yet?"

"Not yet. When is she coming?"

"I don't know. I tried messaging her, but…"

"Your girlfriend is really bad at keeping in touch." Amber said, rolling her eyes.

"Not just me, then." He said, giving Amber a hug.

"What about Mick?" I asked, crossing my arms.

They both looked at me. "We didn't told you?" Amber asked.

"Told me what?"

"Mick moved to Australia." Fabian explained.

"Oh…" I said, taking a moment to let the information sink in.

Don't get me wrong. Amber and Joy were my best friends as well. But Mick and I had a special kind of best-friend connection. He was like a brother to me, always making me laugh of his jokes, singing along to Broadway musicals with me, and sneaking out in the middle of the night to make a sandwich. We always told everything to each other – well… almost everything – and maybe that's why I was a bit upset that he didn't told me that he had moved to Australia. But it was only fair, I guess. I didn't told him that I was going back to Brazil. "All Right, then."

Everyone except Alfie, Amber, Joy and Fabian left the entrance hall. "Where's Patricia?" Joy asked.

"Someone mentioned my name?" She asked, entering the room. She linked her Arms with Joy, and they looked at each other, before putting their hands over their eyes. They looked at me.

"What?" I asked.

"You are a part of Sibuna." Fabian said, as it was obvious.

"I… am?" I asked, frowning.

"You saved my daughter's life two years ago." Fabian said, shaking his head. "Of course you are. Now come on."

I nodded my head, and did as the same thing as they did. We looked at each other with smiles, before whispering: "Sibuna."

And at that same time, creepy creeper appeared out of nowhere. "This is an entrance hall. It is not a meeting room. Move, Move."

"What's up, creeper?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

"Always a pleasure to have you around, Miss Cruz." He answered, sarcastically.

( . . . )

"Great danger." I heard someone whisper. I looked around. It was not the voice of any of the guys "Great danger." It said again.

I frowned "Great danger." It was getting more far and far away. I felt some energy form running through my body, and I started to walk. It was like it was guiding me somewhere "Great danger."

The voice was coming from Fabian's room. I opened the door, only to see Eddie going through his stuff.

"Yes?" He asks, looking at me.

I took a quick look around the room, the voice echoing in my head. "It's… nothing." I say, clearing my throat. "I just thought that I had heard something."

"Great danger."

I looked around one more time, before wrapping my arms around myself

"Are you all right? You look like you have seen a ghost." Eddie asked, frowning.

"Yeah. I'm awesome."

"Okay." He said, nodding his head. "Uh… Valerie. If you were a letter, where would you be?"

I raised an eyebrow "In the mail?"

"No, no, no. If you were a lost letter…" Eddie trailed off, before clasping his hands together "THE JACKET." He suddenly yelled, walking to the cupboard and opening the door. I felt the same force upon me again, and suddenly, a scene formed in front of my eyes, just like a dream.

"You must take this to the Anubis state." The same voice suddenly said. It belonged to a man in a hospital bed. I approached Eddie. "Take this. There is a great danger ahead. I'm… too old. The burden now falls on you. I'm so sorry."

The girl standing by his side frowned "Gramps? What is this key for? What is it that I have to do?"

"You must stop it, KT. You must-"

"No. Grandpa."

"Hey." Fabian said, suddenly coming into the room. It all seemed to fade. Eddie looked at Fabian with a scared expression while I just stared at the ground.

"Eddie… Valerie? What is it? What's up?"

"I think I just had a… daymare." Eddie answered. He looked at me, frowning. "You had it too, didn't you?"

I nodded my head, blinking my eyes. "I… need to go upstairs." I replied, getting out of there and running towards my room.

When I got there, I opened my purse. I always keep with me some vodka inside a bottle of water in case of emergencies. And, well, this was an emergency. I took a sip of the vodka, a smile appearing on my face. I didn't had much chance to drink during last year, and being drunk was a sensation that I missed… a lot. After taking another sip, I closed the bottle, putting it back on my purse, and getting up to leave the room.

( . . . )

I was climbing down the stairs when I heard a scream and someone falling into the ground.

"You." It was Eddie's voice. I raised an eyebrow, and went to help the poor girl.

"I don't know what's wrong with him, but I guess he's sorry." I say, looking up to her. Oh. Now I understood why he was shocked. "You are…"

"KT. I just got here." She explained, as the others came along.

"You are taking Nina's place?" Joy asked.

"Nina? I'm not sure. This is where they told me to go. I'm staying at Isis house tonight, and moving here to Anubis tomorrow, apparently."

"Cool. Welcome to Anubis House." Mara said, smiling at her.

I shared a look with Eddie.

"Thanks. Wow, this place is so cool." She says, looking around. "Is everything here from a museum or something?"

"No. Only Victor." Patricia replied.

"Yeah. I heard about him." KT said, grinning. "Well, I just thought I would bring some stuff here duringg the night and…" She stopped, looking at Eddie and me. "Are you two okay?"

"Yeah." Eddie said, nodding his head nervously.

"Am… I okay?" She asked, sounding a bit hurt. "I hope I didn't interrupted anything."

"No, you're fine."

Joy helped KT with her stuff, and everyone followed them inside.

"We've seen you before." Eddie said. I only crossed my arms. "Seriously, we have."

"Uh… It's possible… Where are you two from?"

"No, it's just…" He started. "You are the girl of-" I realized what he was going to say, and interrupted.

"You are the girl from my dreams." I said.

"Oh, please." Jerome said, rolling his eyes.

"Ok." KT said, awkward looking around. "Gotta go. Nice to meet you." She said, smiling at Joy before turning at me and Eddie. "Uh… I see you later."

"That could have been awkward." Eddie commented, looking at me.

"IT'S TEN O'CLOCK." Victor started.

"Oh. I'm so happy he still does that." I say, clapping my hands happily.
