"Find her?" Eddie whispered, puzzled. Who's 'her'? Eddie glanced toward the living room, and then headed out the front door, as that's where he felt he had to go.

"Why are we coming out here, Nina?" Amber asked, being careful as to where she walked in her new designer shoes.

"I don't know…. I just have this feeling. Like I'm being drawn here."

They were headed toward the summer house, where Eddie and KT found the artifact not very long ago. Nina and Amber had not known what went on then, but Nina had felt that something was not right. It was part of her reason for returning to the old Anubis House. Patricia was looking around toward the kitchen to see where Eddie had gone off to, but all she saw was Trudy cooking in the kitchen, and Alfie stuffing his face with Trudy's peanut butter cookies and blueberry muffins.

"Are you okay, Patricia?" KT came and sat by Patricia where Eddie had been earlier.

"Yeah…. Do you know where Eddie went to?" she asked, still looking around for Eddie.

"No…no, I don't. I saw him go toward his room, but that was quite awhile ago."

KT looked over at Willow and Alfie, talking about the hedgehog Willow adopted. They were just so adorable. She looked around and noticed how everyone was a couple but her….and Fabian. 'Where was he?' she thought. She made her way down the hall to Fabian's door. She knocked and opened it, not giving him anytime to respond. Fabian looked flustered as he quickly shut his laptop.

"Hey, why aren't you with the rest of us?" KT asked as she walked in and sat at the chair at Fabian's desk.

"Ah, I'm uh, just taking care of a few things." Fabian quickly said while clearing his throat.

"You okay? You don't look like yourself." KT looked at him, concerned.

Besides Eddie, Fabian was her best friend here, despite all the craziness and mistrust from last year. Though, she had a feeling she knew just what it was about. Nina. Sometimes last term, Fabian would be in his room lying on his bed thinking about her.

"Uh yeah, I'm fine." Fabian wasn't very good at hiding his feelings.

"It's Nina, isn't it?" she rested her head on her hand, her elbow on the table.

"Yeah…. Do you have anyone back in America, KT? Someone you miss when you're away?"

"No, not really." KT answered. "I mean, there was this one guy I kinda liked, but no one special."

"Oh." He paused for a moment. "What should I do, KT? Nina said she can't come back because the Chosen One and Osirian couldn't be together, or bad things would happen. But they lived in the same house for a year, and nothing happened…. Well, nothing that was caused because of that, anyway."

"I could ask my great grandpa, I'm sure he'd know the answers."

"That's brilliant!" Fabian was grinning now. He couldn't believe he hadn't thought of it before. He was certain Robert Frobisher-Smythe would know the solution to his problem.

KT shrugged. "Glad I could be of some help." She smiled and turned for the door.

As she walked toward the living room, she bumped into Patricia. "Is Eddie in there?" she asked.

"No, just Fabian. He's down about Nina again."

"Oh…poor Fabian." She looked toward his door sympathetically. It's been about a year now, since Nina sent that letter….

"I'm going to try to see if my great grandpa knows anything about it that could help."

"Good idea, KT. I'm going to go look for Eddie."

"Good luck finding him." She said, walking towards the stairs to get her cellphone.

"It's around here somewhere, I think. Over there, by that summer house." Nina said absentmindedly.

"What is?" Amber asked her.

"I'm not sure. At least, I think I'm supposed to be looking for something."

The girls began searching around for something that might look like an artifact or a clue. Eddie walked toward the summer house, memories from last year creeping into his mind. Evil Fabian. Evil Patricia. Almost the end of the world…. He shuddered and continued looking for a girl.

"Find Nina," said the voice.

"Nina?" Eddie was even more confused.

"Eddie?" Nina said, surprised.

"Nina! What are you doing here?" Eddie ran up to her, even more surprised than she was.

"I had to come back. I felt like there was something wrong, I couldn't let my friends get into danger. That's the reason I left in the first place, to keep you all out of it. Also, Fabian…" Eddie stifled a laugh.

"Being away didn't help."

"What do you mean?" Nina looked over at Amber, and then back at Eddie. She started feeling a bit panicked.

"I'll fill you in on the way back. Come on." Amber and Nina walked on either side of Eddie as he explained what happened after Amber left Anubis.

"Are you serious?!" Nina was shocked, that was the worst thing to happen yet. I guess me staying away didn't do any good after all... she thought. That was a whole year she could've spent in England….

"Yeah, it was a disaster. I still have nightmares about it."

"Fabian was evil? That's really hard to believe." Amber said.

"I know, but he was really bad. He made Joy cry."

"He's done that before you know." Amber pointed out, she wasn't buying the fact that Fabian had in fact been evil.

"Would the Fabian you know tell someone he can't stand them, or that they're a joke? Intentionally be mean to Joy, or Alfie?"

"No…."Amber said.

"He's okay now, right?" Nina asked, concerned.

"Oh yeah, he's fine now. Everyone's fine. KT and I were the only ones who were never affected. I was afraid for a bit there that they'd get us too."

"I'll bet, just hearing about it makes me shudder. I'm sorry you had to go through that, and that I wasn't here to help. I would've come if I had known…."

"No, I mean I did think about calling you, but I didn't want to put you in danger. It IS my job to protect you. And well, I didn't think you'd react well to your friends having their souls taken from them. It's hard to be rational when everything's falling apart around you."

Nina sympathetically patted Eddie on the shoulder. She understood the kind of horror he had been through. Being the Chosen One and Osirian had its toll. They were almost at Anubis House.

Whose bags are these? KT thought when she walked in the room. Patricia, Joy, and Willow were sharing the room at the end of the hall, so KT would be sharing with whoever owned the bags. KT was headed down the stairs when Eddie walked through the door.

"Oh good! Where is everyone else?" Eddie looked pretty psyched.

"In there, why?" she pointed towards the living room, and looked confused. "I have a surprise. Come on," he said, leading her in to join the group.
