Chapter 3!
"Patricia? What are you doing here?" I said. Patricia walked up the stairs and sat down next to me.
"I heard her voice…" patricia said shaking. "I saw her Fabian. I had to come here." Patricia said.
"It was brutal huh?" I said knowingly.
Patricia's POV
"It was brutal. Her eyes were so white… her pjs were bloody… she sounded somewhat evil. It was so scary." I explained to Fabian.
He put his arm around me and rubbed my back while we sat on the bottom step next to eachother.
"I have been trying to find her, but she hasn't given my anymore clues! Its just Anubis and the diary, but even that wasn't a clue. Im stuck." He said still with his arm around me.
I guess im less goth than I used to be. My hair is longer, with no hairpiece, and curly. I tied a few strands behind my head like nina always did. My clothes are more blue and green than black. I guess you could say I am… pretty now.
"Maybe you should ask Nina…" I suggested.
Suddenly, as if she heard me, Nina's ghost appeared. Both of us shivered in fright, holding eachother close. The ghost reached out, holding something with her ghastly hand.
"It's a clue." The ghost said. "He who took must not know. He is watching." She said
She set the old folded up paper at my feet.
"Nina, Why cant you tell us where you are?" Fabian said. I could see her tense up as he said that.
"Now how much fun would that be?" Nina's ghost said. For a second, I thought I saw her white eyes turn the hazy green that they should have been. But then they were white.
"Hes watching. I cannot let him know that I am leading you." She said.
I was about to ask her something when she started to disappear.
"Wait nina." I said
"Yes?" she said, halfway gone.
"Do you still like Fabian?" I said. Fabian gave me a weird questioning look.
Nina's ghost sighed, then completely disappeared.
Fabian took his arm off my back, and reached out to grab the paper sitting at my feet. He unfolded it and looked at it. He looked confused when he turned it over and looked at both sides.
"What does it say?" I asked.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." Fabian said staring at the piece of paper.
"Wow, I thought that Nina said this was a clue." I said.
"Yea, but apparently ether she grabbed the wrong piece of paper, or being dead makes you a whackjob." He said.
We both heard a voice.
"I heard that." It was Nina.
We both laughed. It was like old times.
"You know patricia, you look… different." Fabian said.
"Yea, I know. Amber ambified me while I was rooming with her." I replied glancing down at my light blue jeans, my baggy black off the shoulder top that came down to my upper stomach with a white tanktop underneath. My makeup was not very heavy ether, and amber had insisted that I wear blue flower earrings.
"I didn't say that it was a bad thing." Fabian said.
I smiled at him. We stood up and held up the clue. Or should I say the piece of paper. Suddenly a stick that was on the wall lit on fire, like a torch.
"Who did that?" I said shakely. I tried the lightswich.
"Ummm patricia, the power was cut off when we moved out remember?" I heard Fabian's voice from behind me.
"Uh yea. I remembered." I said sheepishly.
I grabbed the torch off the wall.
"Cool! I feel like one of those people from the horror movies!" I said while I was swinging the torch around.
"Watch out!" Fabian said. I had almost lit the clue on fire.
Fabian stared at the paper for a moment.
"Wait. Do that again." He said.
I waved the torch just underneath the paper and watched as words slowly started to appear on the paper. I gasped.
"Huh. Maybe nina wasn't so crazy after all." Fabian said.
"Yea, it took you this long to figure it out?" We heard nina's voice say.
We both laughed. Even though we were trapped in a spooky house with a ghost, I still felt safe next to Fabian.
"What does it say?" I said to Fabian.
"Underneath the square, push the knot, and reveal an echo." Fabian said.
"Yea, but where is the square?" I said.
We looked up the stairs to see the door to victors office start to creak open. Even though I knew that nina was opening the door, the darkness of the house and the fact that it was opening seemingly by itself was creepy enough. We slowly crept up the stairs and through the open door. The office was completely empty.
"Maybe…." I thought. I walked over to a wall and saw a little square in the wallpaper. I pulled the corner and a knot in the wood was underneath. I pushed it.
"Woah." Fabian said. I just realized that he was standing behind me. A giant piece of wall went down like a drawbridge. We both glanced at eachother and went in. The drawbridge closed behind us leaving us in the pitch black tunnel.
"Good thing I still have the torch." I said. My voice echoed against the walls.
"How in the world did this even exist?" Fabian said. The stairs that we were walking on went down. And down. And down.
"I think were underground now." Fabians voice echoed.
"Yea." I shivered. Fabian noticed and put his arm around me. That was so much better. We finally came to a door. I reached out and creaked it open.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" I screamed, dropping the torch on the stone ground. Fabian picked it up. When he held it up he almost dropped it. Two eyes were stairing at us from the back of the room. They didn't move or blink.
Fabian walked into the dark 12x12 room, feeling around for a light switch. I heard a click and the room lit up. I guess this room is not connected to the Anubis power lines.
"Oh my GOD FABIAN." I said pointing. I had figured out where the eyes had come from.
Rufus. Rufus was sitting on a chair stairing straight at us.
