Before you read Chapter 3, I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that I posted Chapter 2 BEFORE "House of Oblivion/House of Snoops." So muahaha! I didn't steal the idea from the show. :)

I think this chapter is a bit longer than the others. Yay!

Enjoy!


Fabian's POV

I slowly looked around the room. I noticed a girl standing in front of me.

"Excuse me, but… where am I?" I asked, very confused.

I looked around again. I didn't think I'd ever seen this place before. I didn't recognize the girl, either.

"You're in the Frobisher library. Don't you remember, Fabian?" she replied.

"Who's Fabian?" I asked.

"You are! Please try to remember!" she exclaimed.

"I-I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talking about." I replied.

"Try really hard, Fabian." she said.

"I-I don't think I should be here." I said. I pushed past her and headed for the door.

Dust rose from the ground with every step.

"Fabian, wait!" she called after me.

"Really, I-I'll just go." I replied, opening the door.

The door groaned; it seemed as if it was asking me to put it out of its misery. I couldn't see much outside, other than a few feet ahead of me. I was careful where I stepped.

"Fabian!" she called again, grabbing my arm.

"Listen- I don't know who you are, or where I am, or what I'm doing here, but-" she interrupted me.

"You… you don't remember me?" she asked cautiously.

"I'm really sorry, but- no." I said.

I felt horrible when her expression went from confusion to distress.

"I'm Nina. Nina M-" she began.

"Martin." I heard myself say.

"What did you say?" she asked.

Her face lit up and she looked at me hopefully.

"M-Martin," I said again. "What does that mean?"

Her hope had faded away.

"That's my last name." she explained.

"How did I know-" I began.

"Because you're my best friend." she replied.

"I don't even know you," I said. "But for some reason… I believe you."

She threw her arms around me and pulled me into a forced hug. When she released me, something white fell out of her pocket and fluttered in the breeze. It blew past me and landed in the grass. I picked it up and quickly put it in my pocket.

"We better get inside before anyone notices we're gone." she told me.

She grabbed my hand and my cheeks felt hot. She pulled me along up to the large, dark building.

Then she motioned for me to be quiet as she opened the door. We slipped inside and she pulled me down the hall. I tagged along behind her as she opened the door and went inside.

"This is your room, Fabian." she said.

"Who? Oh- um, I mean, uh…" I stuttered.

"I know what you mean." she sighed.

"Uh, yeah." I said nervously.

I sat down on "my" bed.

"So… your name is N…" I said.

"Nina." she explained.

"And my name is…" I began.

"Fabian." she said.

I smiled. "Okay… and this is the house of what?"

"House of Anubis." She said.

That didn't seem too hard to remember.

I jumped at the sound of a loud voice booming from downstairs.

"YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES… AND THEN I WANT TO HEAR A PIN… DROP."

"What was that?" I asked worriedly.

"That's just Victor, the caretaker." She explained. "But that means I have to go."

"Uh- okay. See you tomorrow, then?" I asked.

"Yeah!" she smiled.

"Night." I said.

"Night." She replied, gently closing the door.

I got up and turned the lights off. I laid down in my bed and sighed. This was going to be a long night.

I thought that I heard a deep cackle, but I put the thought out of my head and tried to sleep, ignoring the slight pain in my right arm.


So, did you guys enjoy it? I love cliff hangers. Unless I'm not the one writing them. :)

I'll update tomorrow.

Review!
