SOOOOOO SORRY for the issue with chapter 2! I fixed it now. Sorry if you were confused... I'm confused as to why the document was being weird.

Two things one, reviews make me happy happy makes me write better. and two if anyone wants to make a cover photo of some sort of ankh ring I'll be eternally grateful to them.

And the reason Mara is gone is because the actress said if there was a season 4 she wouldn't be in it... as this is a season 4 story...


Chapter 4

House of Sibuna

"Fabian," I began, but the boy moved closer cutting me off.

"I never expected to see you again," he whispered. "You said you couldn't come back but..."

"I couldn't," I promised Fabian clamping his hand in mine. "Because Rufus was evil Eddie and I are never supposed to be together."

"But you're here now," Fabian reminded me. "So what's changed."

Eddie and I agreed not to tell anyone until tonight, but this was Fabian and he had to know. "Victor called me back here because he thought there was a goddess problem." Fabian noticeably stiffened up and I quickly continued, "It turned out it was only a cat problem. He's over a hundred, I guess we should give him a break for being jumpy. I was leaving when Eddie ran into me and now... now he and I HAVE to be together."

"Like.. together, together?" Fabian asked awkwardly causing me to laugh.

"No," I answered with a smile. "Nothing like that. We just have to stay within the same few miles or Eddie gets hurt."

Fabian relaxed a bit at my words before speaking, now to KT who'd been awkwardly standing there. "Where's Mara?" Jealousy flamed within me as I realized that Fabian did what I wasn't able to- he moved on.

"She's gone," Eddie told him walking in from the kitchen. "Some early college program."

"What's with you and girls leaving right after you get together?" Jerome asked Fabian with a slap on the back. "Bad luck mate."

"You guys better get in here before Alfie eats all the cookies!" KT warned from the kitchen. As I went to follow the others Fabian grabbed my arm and held me back.

"I missed you Nina," he whispered looking straight into my eyes. "I missed you more than you could ever imagine." I doubted that. Just thinking of how I felt whenever I looked back and remembered he was gone hurt.

"I missed you too, Fabian." I told him meaning it more than he could imagine. The pain I felt because of the mysteries and troubles we faced here at Anubis couldn't even compare to a single moment of my pain over Fabian. "But I couldn't be here."

"But now you can," Fabian assured. "Now you can't leave."

Looking into Fabian's chocolate eyes I spoke with more sincerity than I knew possible, "Even without the thing with Eddie I could never leave again. Not now after seeing you."

"I loved you," Fabian confessed causing my heart to stop. "I never got the chance to say it, but it's true. That doesn't mean we can go back to being us, you left and no matter the circumstances you hurt me, but I thought you should know. I loved you then and the moment I saw you talking to KT I knew that love didn't go away with time. You're still my Chosen One even if I'm not sure we can be together."

Fabian left to go and greet the others leaving me to speak only to the air, "Fabian," I whispered. "I love you too and will do whatever I can to get you back."


Everyone seemed to reflect to Eddie now as the leader of Sibuna (not that I objected. I hated it when everyone always looked to me for answers.) Eddie seemed to feel the same way, but I just smirked letting him take over.

"Well then I guess we need to explain what happened don't we. Nina, would you like to explain?" I scowled at the boy, but considering it was my fault I explained everything from the ancient lovers to Rufus to the ring.

"So basically our new Sibuna goal, until something else comes up as I'm sure it will, is to find a way to make it so Eddie isn't reliant on the ring. There is always another way with stuff like this. Always a secret riddle to be solved. With the six of us working together we can definitely find a solution." My words were confident, but what I didn't tell them was that the ring was the alternative method and now we were looking for the alternative alternative method that may or may not exist.

"What do you mean the six of us? I count seven here," A familiar voice said from the attic stairway. Turning around I saw the perfect blonde curls of the one person who could make this reunion better.

"Amber!" Alfie cried running over and giving his ex a hug. We all joined him hugging the girl in turn.

"So you're the reason there is an extra bed in Nina and my room," Patricia reasoned and a smiling Amber nodded.

"But what about fashion school and following your dreams?" Fabian asked and Amber just rolled her eyes.

"It was so not worth it. No one there appreciated my need for pink with every outfit and it was so boring. Do you realize that most high schools don't have secret clubs that fight evil? It's ridiculous!"

Every snorted at the idea of Amber trying to solve mysteries at her fashion school until the girl spoke again. "And as it seems Nina is back, I so want to hear that story, I think we have a problem."

"What problem?" Eddie asked. "Everything seems good to me." We all knew that was a lie, nothing was good for him, but that's just Eddie I guess pretending he's okay when he's not.

"We have two leaders," Amber pointed out. "And we can't have two leaders of Sibuna! As a founding member I think Nina should be in charge."

"Why don't we take a vote," I suggested. "Everyone votes on who they want in charge Eddie or me. Whoever gets the most votes is the absolute leader... not that we still don't all work together."

No one had any objections so everyone wrote their vote on a piece of paper (no hard feelings that way. Not that I'd care if someone didn't vote for me... actually hoped they wouldn't.)

"I'll count the votes," an over-excited Amber told us. Opening up the papers Sibuna's future was decided.


A/N So who do you want to be Sibuna's new leader? Nina or Eddie? Or should a third party come in and seize control? Tell me what you think in a review because I haven't decided yet.
