Chapter 6 (Nina's PV)
I walk back inside the house, and see everybody was cleaning up from the damage of the earthquake. Other than Patricia, who was sleeping on the couch. Alfie was about to wake her up, but Jerome stopped him. "Dude, she'll kill you. You know her." Alfie nodded in agreement, and backed off.
Fabian was cleaning up dishes that had fallen out of their cabinets. There remains were shattered everywhere. I walked into the kitchen, and started helping him. He pulled out a trashcan, and started picking up all the big pieces of glass.
"So, how bad is the damage outside?" Fabian said as he threw out more glass shards. I picked up a broken piece of a plate, which was designed beautifully. I've never seen this plate before. I placed it into the trashcan, ignoring the thought of taking it. I had no purpose for a broken plate. Beautiful or not.
"Pretty bad." I said, throwing out the other piece of the plate. Such a shame. "I don't think we will be in school for at least a few weeks."
Joy walked into the kitchen, walking towards the fridge. She was wearing shoes, so she walked right across the glass, but just made a bigger mess for Fabian and me. She opened it up, and took out some chocolate. Strange how the refrigerator stayed alive with the food perfectly in it.
She walked back over the glass, and exited the kitchen.
"Could we talk upstairs for a minute, Fabian?" I ask when most of the glass is thrown away. He looks up at me, with curious eyes. I hope I didn't sound too serious.
"Sure, Nina. Is something wrong?" Fabian asks, sweeping up the last bits of glass.
"I'm not entirely sure, actually. That's why I have to talk to you." I said, standing up to let him sweep. After he finishes sweeping, he puts the broom on the head upstairs, trying the best to be ignored by everybody else.
We got away unnoticed, and went up to my room. I shut the door behind me, and Fabian sits on my bed. He watches me curiously, as I take out the picture of Rebecca that I had.
"Okay, so when I was outside, I heard R again. And she told me a lot of things. Some which involves this little girl, and your little neighbor girl." I said, handing him the picture. He took out his once again, and put them together. "These girls aren't actually girls at all."
He looked at me strangely, and then back at the photos. He proabley thinks I'm crazy. They look like normal girls. Well, a normal girl. They look identical. Well, that's because they are the same girl. But they really aren't a girl at all. Or at least that is what R told me.
Well, actually she told me I had to kill somebody, and then create somebody. So, I'm not entirely sure what R wants me to do.
As if she heard my thoughts, my room's door slammed open. Standing there, was a girl who looked just like Rebecca. I am assuming its R, but I have no idea anymore.
"Hey Fabian!" The girl smiled, kind of evil looking. Fabian didn't notice the evil glare she was giving me. This little girl doesn't seem right. This isn't R, this is his neighbor. And something's messed up here.
"Oh, hi Rebecca! H-How do you know I would be here?" Fabian said, eyeballing me. I wasn't exactly sure what was going on.
"Don't trust this girl, Nina! This girl has a gun in her backpack! Don't get her mad. My task was confusing, I'm sorry for that. I understand I screwed you up. You need to kill all the Rebeccas. They are all out of control!"
She's armed. I trusted R more and more. Is that even safe? I shouldn't be trusting R a bit. But I know this little girl looks just like my Rebecca. I could only trust R right now. Hopefully, she was being honest.
"Oh, I asked your mum the other day. She is doing quite well, Fabian. She just makes the yummiest cookies ever! And you must be Nina! Fabian talked about you the whole summer. Are you his girlfriend?" Rebecca asked. This girl had a lot to say.
"Not exactly sure, Rebecca. Um, is there a reason you're here?" Fabian asks her. Yes Rebecca, is there a reason you're here?
I could see Fabian was getting nervous. He was sweating a bit, and kept staring over at me. He had no idea what was going on. And I wasn't sure about our relationship either. Were we dating? I could only hope. It kind of seems like we are. We are constantly with each other.
"Yeah, actually I wanted to speak to you about R. You know her, right?" Rebecca says, tilted her head to the side. She brought up R. Yeah, this took a turn for the worst.
"I wouldn't bring me up if I were you."
"Who's R? Is that like a nickname or something?" I ask her. If I can pretend like we know nothing, I was going to. But we all know that I am bad at lying. I mean, I am really bad. It's pretty noticeable. Fabian looked at me questionably, and I shushed him.
"No, are you sure you don't know her? She said she was coming over…" Rebecca said, looking over at me. "Your lying, aren't you?"
"You need to both run, now! Say you have to go, just get out of there!"
If she catches me in a lie, she might take out her gun. The gun I know she has, due to the clanking it made in her backpack. I didn't want to get Fabian killed. I didn't want to die either. But if something happened to Fabian, and it was because of me, I couldn't live with myself. I would be so depressed, and more alone then I already am.
"Nina, I'll tell you everything. The Rebeccas are robots we sent out to protect all you guys at the house. Somebody is after you all. And they reprogrammed the Rebeccas to kill all of you! There are twenty of them, and they are all coming towards Anubis house! I have them all on radar! You need to evacuate the house, now! You can't kill any of them right now, not with them together like this!"
The doorbell from downstairs made me jump. Rebecca glared at me, and slid her hand into her backpack. "Are you lying, Nina? Fabian?"
I couldn't think of anything to say, but just to shout out what I knew. "Fabian, she has a gun!" And with that remark, she started morphing into some odd creature. Fabian grabbed my hand and we rushed downstairs. We weren't fast enough to stop Patricia from opening the door. Another little girl opened the door. She looked the same as the one upstairs.
"Hi! I'm Sammie! And guess what? I'm here to kill you!" The little girl said, laughing. She looked a bit different then my Rebecca. She had a punk look to her, like Patricia. Patricia cocked her head, and looked sweetly at the girl. What was she doing? Fabian and I rushed downstairs, and I shouted at her.
"Patricia, she isn't lying!" I said, as I heard Fabian's Rebecca get closer to us. Patricia looked at me in horror, and looked back at the little girl. She morphed into some odd creature too. We had to get out of here. Now.
"Take everybody into the hidden book room, Nina. Remember in the cellar? They can't get in there."
Patricia froze in place, as the little girl morphed. She now looked like some sort of dragon creature. "Patricia, move!" Fabian yelled, as I was unaware that the dragon creature was breathing out fire. She ran closer towards us, and we ran to the kitchen. I opened the cellar with my key, as another creature near us.
Amber came rushing towards us, hiding between Fabian and I. How many were in the house right now? I heard a scream come from Fabian and Mick's room. Was Mick alright? I wanted to go check, but a creature came out of the cellar opening. I screamed and bounced back, and now creatures were facing us in all directions.
This could be it. It could all be over right here. At least I am with Fabian.
"No, I won't let it end this way." Fabian whispered, and he stepped closer towards one of the creatures, and kicked it right in the mouth. It moaned and fell over, but got up quickly. They were in a fight, and I wasn't sure Fabian would be able to win. I couldn't even move, since Amber and Patricia really didn't let me.
The other two creatures (Fabian's creature and Patricia's creature) came closer towards us. Fabian's had a gun, and Patricia's was able to breathe fire. Okay, even with Fabian fighting one of them, we could still die. What would really be helpful would be if I got that gun away from Fabian's creature. That way, I could just shot them all.
I needed some sort of distraction. The creatures kept circling us, while Fabian kept on fighting Amber's creature. Amber was perfect for a distraction.
"Amber, I need you to create a distraction. I need to get the gun." I whispered to her, and she nodded. She looked at the two creatures, and poked one of them.
"Hi, you must know me. I'm Amber! My, your skin is so dry! You really should try some lotion. I used the almost four different…" Amber kept talking about skin, which made the creatures stare at her. The dragon didn't do anything, but Fabian's creature actually looked a bit interested. That's proablely cause the creature looked a bit like a human.
How could I get the gun away now? Even with the distraction, the creature kept the gun strongly in her hands. I could never get it out of its grip.
"Nina, just punch it."
That made sense. I walked slowly away from the scene, and went in the back of the creatures. Both of them murduers. I could do this. All I had to do was punch this thing, take its gun, and shoot it. How hard could that be?
It could be really hard.
Before I could change my mind (my other idea was to run out of the room, screaming for Victor), I punched the human-like creature from the behind. It yelped in pain, and dropped the gun. Amber took it, and the creature swung a punch at me. It hit me right in the eye, and it was so powerful I was swept to the other side of the room. Fabian yelled out to me, but I couldn't get up. The punch was extremely strong. Then, I heard a gunshot.
Amber had shot the creature that punched me. Then, another shot went off. It was the dragon. Amber nervously looked near Fabian, who was bruised a bit. He had knocked Amber's creature out. Still, she shot him. The three that were in the room were dead.
Fabian ran over to me, and Amber followed. She had a small grin on her face. After all, she just killed three creatures that were going to kill us all. Patricia was still standing there, shocked. I feel so bad for her. She seems so, distant. Like she doesn't really believe anything that is going on. But who could blame her?
I rub my eye, which was already swollen shut. It hurt a lot, but I had to keep going. There were more creatures coming. And I doubt we can shoot them all. Some of the creatures could deflect shots. I just can't guess though. I need to know.
I stand up before Fabian can say anything. I stop rubbing my eye, and he cringes.
"Patricia, since you're nearest to the fridge, could you get some ice for Nina?" Fabian asked Patricia, looking at her. She nodded, and opened up the fridge. Trudy had a bunch of ice packs in the fridge. She is always prepared.
Patricia walked over, and handed me the ice bag. I thanked her, and she stood there silently.
"I'm sorry, I'm just nervous. I really don't understand why those "things" are trying to kill us." Patricia said, sympathetically.
"It's ok, Patricia. We totally understand." I said, putting the ice over my eye. "I heard a scream in your room, Fabian. We should probably see if Mick's alright." I said. Why am I acting so calm? Mick could be dead right now?
I really hope we aren't too late for Mick. Or Alfie and Jerome. What if they are all dead? That would be my fault. I couldn't live with that. We needed to go to both of their rooms. We couldn't hide right now. We had to defeat these things, now. We couldn't wait.
Knocking me out of my thoughts, I heard a scream in pain.
It was Jerome.
I know it's kind of confusing, but basically each of the kids in the house have a "Rebecca" chasing them, trying to kill them. There are 20 Rebeccas, and why there are that many will be told soon. Please, stick with me, even if not exactly everything makes sense. Please review, so I know what is confusing, and so I can make it better.
