Chapter 4! What happens next? Keep reading!
* Nina's POV *
I woke up in the vent where Senkhara had held me captive, with no idea what the time was. The ghost was nowhere to be found, so I climbed out into the tunnels.
I passed through every passage, into the Smythe's the main room, through cellar, and up the stairs.
The door creaked open, and I stepped out into the lobby. Glancing at the clock, I saw that it was nearly lunchtime. My stomach growled, and I suddenly realized how hungry I was.
I shrugged, thinking lunch could wait, and headed upstairs to get ready for school.
* Fabian's POV *
Ms. Andrew's class seemed like forever. In fact, this whole day had seemed like forever. I couldn't stop thinking about Nina. As far as I'm aware, Senkhara could be torturing her at this very second.
Sibuna had already talked this through. We're all going down into
the tunnels after school, and if we don't succeed, were gonna report to Mr. Sweet.
I looked down at my notebook to see that I had been drawing Nina. She had angel wings and a halo and there were hearts all around her. In reality, that was what she was to me.
Class continued, and once there was only about five minutes left, something amazing happened. Nina walked in. My heart lurched in a mixture of shock, confusion, and pure joy. I was looking at her like she was the queen. Well, she was my queen.
"NINA! WHERE WERE YOU?" Amber cried.
Ms. Andrews shot her with a frustrated look. "Miss Millington, this is class and I will kindly ask you to respect the rules. As for Ms. Martin, you are late. I won't ask why, but I trust you will stay in at lunch and copy everything down?"
Nina groaned, and walked over to sit next to me. I couldn't stop looking at her in awe. I had a whole encyclopedia of questions to bombards her with, so I took out my notebook and wrote her a note.
"Where were you?" I started off with that, then passed it to her.
"Well, I was gonna get out and face the trouble with you, but Senkhara stopped me and punished me for flirting with you instead of finding the mask. She said I would be released tomorrow. I didn't sleep much, but when I finally did, she probably left. I overslept till now, and so I just climbed out, and went through the tunnels and the cellar. My excuse for Victor was that I was vomiting. Best I could do really."
"Wow. Are you alright?"
"Yeah, just starving, but I gotta miss lunch to copy notes with Ms. Andrews, and I'll probably get home late to make up my notes from first, second, and third period."
"I can grab you something from the cafeteria."
"Aww, that's so sweet! Thank you so much!" There was a heart on this note and some cash enclosed.
I wrote my final note saying, "No charge, my love," and the same cash was sent back to her.
* Amber's POV *
I watched as Nina and Fabian passed notes. It was so romantic! I wanted to read them like crazy, cause they would probably explain why Nina was gone in the morning.
I saw Nina give him some money. He wrote something down, and handed the money back.
Peering over, I was catching a glimpse of something when the bell just had to ring. Everyone got up and started heading out towards the hallway including Nina and Fabian.
There's 4! Enjoy! Please review!
