Chapter Nine

Three days after Fabian found the locket, the two decided to visit the library again, and research a bit more. They were finally getting somewhere.

Nina waited outside of the library, waiting for Fabian to come. She had put the locket on, so she wouldn't lose it. Nina lost things constantly, she was just that type of person.

Fabian's cab pulled up to the library, and he quickly got out. He now had a plastic shoe on his right ankle, which stopped him from bending it. He had eventually went to the doctor, Nina had forced him too. Turns out he really hurt his ankle, he was taking multiple medications for it.

Nina smiled at him, and Fabian walked over, returning it.

"Ready?" He asked. She nodded, and they both walked into the library.

It was busy, unlike the day when they first met. That seemed like ages ago, yet it wasn't that long ago at all.

They both put their things down at the same table, and walked over to the Egyptian mythology section. Fabian surveyed the different titles, and Nina peered at the locket. She noticed there was some sort of latch, and she opened it. There was a picture, she couldn't recognize who it was. She closed it back up.

"There isn't anything here…" Fabian complained, looking over at Nina. She was still looking at the locket, so she looked back at him.

"Maybe since Sarah died recently, we could check the older newspapers? Maybe there is something in those?"

Fabian's face brighten up, and he whispered loudly "You genius!" Nina giggled, and they headed over to the archive that the library kept.

There were two boxes full of old newspaper, so each of them took one. They looked through them for quite a while, until Fabian stumbled across something that seemed interesting.

There is more history around than you think. Only a few minutes away from an élite boarding school, lies the 'Frobisher-Smythe library', which was built more than a hundred years ago. No exact date was recorded.

"Frobisher-Smythe… That's Sarah's last name!" Fabian exclaimed, showing the picture to Nina, along with the caption under it. "This is the perfect place to start looking!"

"Where is it though?" Nina asked, she had no idea what élite boarding school they were talking about. She hadn't heard of any boarding school near her.

"I know exactly where it is, it's only fifteen minutes away!"

"We better get going then!"

"The library isn't opened to the public, Fabes…" Nina said, the door was locked. The library seemed like it hadn't been opened for years.

"Then we will sneak in. And… Fabes? Already got a nickname for me, Martin?" Fabian questioned, smirking over at her. She blushed, his smirk was extremely attractive.

He chuckled, and took a bobby pin from her hair, and opened the door. She shook her head and grabbed it from him, and adjusted it back into her hair. They both walked in, coughing from the dust that was all around.

"Let's look around, shall we?" Fabian asked, coughing a few more times. Nina nodded, they had to leave the door shut, or people would know they were in there.

They began to look around, going through the different books and artifacts. It was like a museum that was being barricaded from the world. Had anyone actually stepped in the library in the last fifty years?

"Nina, check this out," Fabian shouted softly, waving his arms to catch her attention. She ran over. "It's a journal written by Robert Frobisher-Smythe… She could be Sarah's dad!" Nina smiled at how excited he was, she was excited to. They were even closer to Delaney!

Fabian flipped the journal opened, skipping through it until he found what he needed.

The 'Chosen One's were decided many years ago, in the days where the Gods Anubis and Amneris were around. They made an agreement that every twenty-five years, the 'Chosen One' could rearrange the 'Cup of Ankh'. The 'Chosen One' is decided by their birthday. My daughter, Sarah, she is a 'Chosen One', her birthday falls on the first on the year, on the first hour.

"So, if Delaney is the 'Chosen One', they must have taken her since that special day is arriving!" Fabian concluded. He flipped to the next day, where there were a bunch of days. "What do you know, the next 'special day' is next week!"

"We finally have something!" Nina exclaimed, hugging Fabian. He smiled and hugged her back tightly, this was exciting.

This mystery was unlike any mystery he ever solved before.

Interrupting the two's hug, the door slammed open.

Wanted to write the last sentence better than I did, but I couldn't. Any who, cliffy! Titter to you xD Just kidding, it's not much of one.
