Chapter 7:
A/N: Sorry for not changing POVs much the story kind of revolves around Nina/Fabian...
Nina's POV:
I wake up uneasy from the night before. It is dark in the room because of the heavy curtains, so I open them up, letting sunshine pour into the room. I yawn, stretch my legs, and walk into the bathroom and turn on the shower. I get in, letting the warm water touch my cold skin. I let out a long sigh, because the water actually calms me. I wonder what Fabian will think of all that is going on. My thoughts are interrupted when I hear:
"Tread carefully chosen one,
Or your life will be done
Not a minute to waste,
Work with haste."
"Stop this!" I yell,
"Just tell me what to look out for, I can do this!" But the voice does not reply. I shut off the water, and with a little soap still in my hair, I run across the hallway, feet creaking on each floorboard, to write down the clue. I scribble it down on a piece of paper, fold it in half, and put it in my bag.
Fabian's POV:
I wake up to Mick shaking my bed.
"Get up, sleepyhead! You overslept by 10 minutes!" He says.
I sigh, what a great way to start the day, right? Now I have to skip my shower.
I clean my face with a warm rag, and I comb my brown and messy hair. I look in the mirror as I wring out the wet rag. I guess I look good enough today. I open the door and straighten my tie, and put on my uniform jacket. Red as usual. I smell French toast, with a side of freshly fried bacon and a croissant with a fresh cup of apple, or orange juice, milk or water. I quicken my pace to the table, this being my favorite breakfast meal and I am startled by Nina grabbing my hand and pulling me into a corner.
"Sibuna meeting. Me, you and Amber. Upstairs after school." She says softly. I nod slightly, and sit down to eat breakfast.
Nina's POV:
I am walking practically lifeless through the hallways when Lucy taps my shoulder. She is a little shorter than me. She flips her brown hair that goes down to her shoulders and says
"Hi Nina!" she follows me to my locker and when I open it I reply with a cheerful
"Hello!"
"How are you, Nina? You look really stressed." Lucy says. She knows something is up.
"Oh, nothing. Just a big test coming up." I say. For some reason, I knew she knew I was lying.
"Oh, okay. I'll see you later okay? I don't want to be late to class." She says.
"Do you need help finding your way there? I have been going here for a while." I say. But then I remember she is in the middle school division of this school. She looks almost as old as me I forgot she is only in the 6th grade.
"No thanks Nina, I know my way around already. I'll see you around" She says with a smile. As she walks away I can see her look down. I think she is crying. I drop my book and go to pick it up, and when I look back to where she was, she was gone.
After school I meet Fabian and Amber up in my room. I sigh and say
"Welcome, Sibuna. It is good to see you guys." I say. Amber, you only know a little fraction of what has been going on. Fabian, you know nothing at the moment.
I spend the next hour explaining everything to Amber and Fabian. They just sat there, mesmerized. As I finally finish, they sit there emotionless. They do not know what to make of this new mystery.
Amber looks at Fabian, and then me.
"Sibuna is back together" She whispers. I smile and we all put our right hand over our right eye and all say "Sibuna". Just like old times.
