Chapter7
"It is", the voice said from outside the opening door. She girl outside the door clutched onto her purse. "At least Nina had the decency to tell me Sibuna was up and running".
"Amber"
Nina got up from the bed to hug her. Fabian looked at them both in confusion "How did you-".
"Nina called me some days ago, and told me that you needed her back. Why didn't you guys call to tell me?"
Fabian and Eddie were only focused on getting the chosen one back to Sibuna at the time. They didn't even think of Amber.
"We didn't want to disturb you, since you were doing so well in New York", Eddie lied.
Amber's face relaxed "Well thank you, but when it concerns Sibuna, I need to be here, too".
"Agreed", Fabian said.
"So, how bad is it?", Amber said quietly. Fabian, Nina, and Eddie looked at each other, wondering how they were going to break it to Amber that her boyfriend was on team evil.
"It's a long story ", Nina said.
"Well, that's good because Trudy wants us at the table now", Amber said, walking out of the room. The others followed, but not before tripping over Amber's collection of suitcases.
"Ow", Fabian said, as he nearly tripped
"Watch out!", she yelped.
They made their way to the table laughing and joking with each other over meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
Knock, Knock, Knock
"Coming", she said, still laughing as she got up from the table. "Well, it's about time, we're almost to dessert".
"Sorry we're so late Trudy, Patricia had family problems and to go home", a girl stated.
"Without checking in?", Trudy asked.
"She called Fabian, he mustn't have told you?", a boy said.
" All right. Well, you two get to the table, I bet your tummy's are growling", Trudy chuckled.
Nina, Fabian, and Eddie silenced as they saw Alfie and KT enter the room.
Jerome looked up from his plate and smiled, "Alfie, guess whose here?". Jerome hoped to enjoy the show. KT turned to Trudy, "Trudy, can you get me some medicine. I've had a fever all day", she said, as if she had a headache.
"All right, I'll be right back", Trudy turned and left the room.
KT looked over at Nina and smiled, "You must be Nina". KT walked over to where Nina was sitting, " It's nice to finally meet you", she held out her hand.
Nina shook her hand tentativly, "Nice to see you, too". While this happened Amber was embracing Alfie, he looked as if he didn't want her hugging him "Hello, Amber". Willow looked confused, "Um,Alfie, where have you been all day I was worried?, she said".
Alfie tugged out of Amber's embrace, and walked over to Willow. He pulled his head down, and kissed Willow fully on the lips. Everyone was in shock; Jerome didn't know what to make of it, but amused, Nina, Eddie,Fabian, Mara, and Joy were totally appalled, but Amber... Amber was heart broken.
"Alfie", she whispered. Alfie looked up and broke the kiss with Willow and smiled at Amber, "Amber, this is my girlfriend, Willow". Everyone just stared him. "You see Amber, me and Willow are likes what I like, she doesn't care about clothes, she's just... well, she's just not you. So why don't you go ahead and head back to New York, because I don't want you. You disgust me Amber, and I do rather prefer a red head", giving Willow a squeeze.
Amber let out a breath, heart-broken, embarssed, and close to tears she ran out of the room.
Joy looked at Alfie in highly dislike "How could you say that?".
"What it's true",he replied.
"Dude", Eddie said. He knew Alfie was with team evil, but he didn't know he'd go that far. Even Jerome didn't have a smirk on his face anymore.
Mara got up from the table to go look for Amber, "I can't believe you Alfie".
Willow turned to Alfie, "You used me?".
"Oh, definetly. Why else would I go out with you?", Alfie said. Light-hearted Willow, choked on a sob, and got up from the table.
"Willow", Mara said, following after her, passing by Trudy as she entered the room.
"What's going on?", Trudy asked, with the medicine in her hand.
Alfie looked apathetic, "I don't know, they can't take a joke. Well, I'm beat. See you in the morning everyone", he said, leaving the room.
Trudy shook her head, "You kids... here KT, for the fever".
"Thank you", KT took the medicine from her. The rest helped Trudy clean the table and head to bed.
Nina stepped out of the foggy bathroom and looked up at the clock, "Hey Mara, does Victor still drop the pin?"
"Yeah", she said, and looked up at the clock. It was 10:45. "That's odd he would have done it by now".
"Hm, how's Amber and Willow", Nina asked.
"Hurt. I think Amber's still crying . I can't believe Alfie would do that, it's not like him", Mara said.
"Yeah, I wouldn't think he could do that either", Nina replied. "Well, I'll see you in the morning. Good night".
"Goodnight"
Nina walked down to Eddie and Fabian's room. Eddie was asleep, while Fabian was studing the heiroglyphics from the sheet of paper they found in the tunnel with a notepad and pen in his hand and his lamp on. Fabian looked up when the door opened and smiled "Hi".
"Hey",Nina said. "Do you mind if I sleep in here with you?", she said shyly. Fabians eyes widened. He hadn't expected her to say that. "Um, yeah, yeah sure, come on". Fabian put his things on the his dresser and Nina walked over and slid into the covers. He adjusted himself by the wall to give her space and hesitantly, put his arm around her. "I'm so glad you came back", he said softly. Nina smiled "Me too, I missed you".
"Oh my gosh, get a room", Eddie said, from his sleep-like form. Nina and Fabian laughed. They drifted into sleep and Nina couldn't feel more protected his his arms.
"Nina", a voice said. Nina's eyes fluttered. "Nina, wake up", a voice said, with a finger poking her shoulder. Nina opened her eyes and looked up to see Alfie and KT standing over her in the moonlit room.
"Fab-!", she yelped before KT's hands covered her mouth. "Get her up", KT whispered to Alfie. Alfie took Fabian's arms from around her and lifted her from the bed. She thrashed and screamed as much as she could but Alfie was incredibly strong.
"Cover her mouth", KT ordered Alfie. Alfie replaced KT's hand on Nina's mouth, while KT took the notepad and message from the dresser. Nina yelled Fabian and Eddie's name, but they remained asleep. Unbothered by her attempted screams.
Alfie took Nina out of the room and into the hallway, as KT followed them. "Knock her out", Alfie ordered.
KT lifted something above Nina's head and said, "Don't worry. You will soon welcome our evil, chosen one", and landed the object on top of Nina's head.
So, what do you think. Good right. Please review. I do want you to vote on who you think Alfie should end up with Willow or Amber. Just send their name in a review or a PM. Thanks.
