*Fabian's POV*
I woke up the next morning ready for the task at hand. I got out of bed and stretched like you see in the movies. I cracked my knuckles and tilted my head back and forth for dramatic affect. I took my pajamas off and pulled my uniform on. I brushed my teeth and combed my hair. After that, I went to the kitchen and grabbed a banana. I scarfed it down not realizing how hungry I was. After I was finished, I went back to my room and grabbed my shoulder bag. Inside was a soccer t-shirt from freshman year, basketball shorts that I foun in Mick's things, and white trainers. With the strap fitting firmly over my shoulder, I grabbed Nina's locket and bracelet.
I took a deep breath. It's all or nothing.
I proceeded out the door and towards the school building. The air outside was warm and humid. I could tell there was a storm brewing. At the same time, it was a calming feeling. Almost like I could do anything.
I put my head down and walked to school with so much determination you could catch it in mid air. When I went through the main entrance, Nina was standing at her locker right next to mine. I put on a friendly face and made my way towards her.
"Hi, Fabian! How are you?"
"Great! How are you?" I tricked my mind into thinking it was real Nina and I felt myself blush.
Nina giggled. "I'm good. It looks like it's going to storm though!"
"Yeah, we get a lot of them around this time of year." Wow was I a good actor today!
"So do you want to go to French together?" She flipped her hair which was in a pony tail for the first time in forever.
"Sure."
We walked in silence and sat at opposite tables. Mrs. Andrews went through the lesson, but no one was really paying attention. We had all been in French since third grade. The class was pretty good at it by now. After French, the rest of the day went by fairly quickly. After I ate my lunch, an English muffin with ham and cheese, hard pretzels, and a green tea, I went over the plan again. I nodded feeling satisfied with the game plan.
After lunch, I just had my block of English. First hour went by like a jet plane, but second hour was a different story. I started getting really nervous. My hands were sweating, my heart was pounding, and I couldn't pay a lick or attention. Finally, after checking the clock a million and one times, we had five minutes left.
Here we go. I raised my hand, and asked to be excused. The teacher agreed, and I got up quickly before they could change their mind.
When I got to the bathroom, I got changed as quickly as possible. When I was done, I still had two minutes until the bell rang. I sat on the counter and savored the silence and simplicity of the moment. I knew all too soon that it would be all but easy.
Finally, the bell rang, and I jumped off the counter. I peaked my head out the door and caught a glimpse of Nina. She was leaving the school and heading for "home". I quickly ran after her and threw my bag in the bushes beside the school. I started jogging lightly following the path that Nina was on. I stayed a good distance back so she didn't suspect anything.
After about fifteen minutes of walking, Nina stopped, looked all around her nervously, and walked towards the woods. I continued running, careful not to draw attention to myself. After another fifteen minutes of running, Nina walked up to a small house. It was brown and shingled to blend with it's surroundings. The windows were closed and dark. Nina opened the door and walked inside quickly.
I ran to the door and pressed my ear on it. I heard nothing but a woosh sound. It was like there were four million computers starting up inside. I didn't hear any voices, so I opened the door as quietly as possible. What I saw made my jaw drop. The interior of the house was the complete opposite of the outside. It was all white and very futuristic looking. There were three doors. I pushed the first one open and gasped.
I looked around the room. It was filled with Nina's things. Her bedding, her clothes, her nick-knacks. Everything that was at Anubis was sitting in the room. I closed the door and walked towards the second one. I pushed it open revealing a very disturbing scene.
Nina was laying there on a hospital bed. She still had her school uniform on. There were wires attached to her head coming from every angle. I went over to her and noticed her eyes were closed. I turned to the wall, and noticed two huge white boards. The handwriting on them was very familiar.
One was labeled Memories. I glanced at it catching words like Amber Millington. Fabian Rutter. Anubis. Gran. They were all the things that Nina loved and cared about.
I looked towards the other board. Its title was. New Memories. It said stuff like. Juicy bag. Pittsburgh. Osiris.
I walked over to a computer that was hooked to all the wires. There was an empty page, and a courser ready to type. This was my chance. I walked over and typed anything I could think of.
Anubis…nothing.
Victor…nothing.
Amber…nothing.
The next one, I was really hoping for.
Fabian…nothing.
Then I remembered what the article on the study said. It has to be something that no one else knew about.
Sibuna.
Nina jolted awake. Her eyes opened and she took a huge breath of air. I was just as shocked. "Nina! Nina! Nina! Nina!" I held her cheeks in my hand and looked into her eyes.
"Fabian." She looked back at me and I knew it was truly her. Not the "Amber Millington doll".
A tear ran down her dace, and I wiped it away with the pad of my thumb. "It's alright. I'm here. You're safe."
I spoke to soon. I heard a gun cock, and our heads whipped towards the door. The last person I expected to see was standing there, ready to shoot.
OMG! I'm so devious! Haha. Look out for chapter 10 hopefully this weekend!
REVIEW AND YOU WILL BE AWESOME! =) Heck, you already are! THANK YOU!1
