Nina's POV

I stood up along with the rest of the house. I led the way to the attic and when we reached the door, I looked at the rest of the house. I reached out and went to turn the knob, but found that it was locked. I turned towards the rest of the house.

"So what do you suggest I do now?"

"Pick the lock?" Patricia suggested. I pulled one of the bobby-pins from out of my hair. I started picking the lock and then there was a click and the door swung open.

"Creepy." Amber said. I turned around to look at the rest of the house and met eyes with Fabian, whose eyes were dark with worry. I turned back around and started walking up the stairs to the attic. I stopped at the corner and looked down at everyone who kept on waving me on. I took my first step onto the second set of stairs when I heard it.

"What are you all doing?" I heard the door shut and I looked down at the door.

"Nothing." I heard Patricia tell Victor. I heard footsteps and then shuffling. There was a murmur and then I heard Victor yell, "Go. Go!" I stayed near the stair when I heard him grab the doorknob. I ran to the attic and looked around for a place to hide. I pulled my locket out of my shirt, hoping that it would give me some kind of good luck. I was running around and all of a sudden I fell into a room and then the door slid shut.

I heard Victor walk by my hiding spot and waited until I heard the door downstairs shut before I allowed myself to breathe again. I looked for a way out and when I couldn't find a handle or something to open it, I began to panic a little. All of a sudden, my locket was glowing. I picked it up and held it up. A place on the wall glowed red so I placed my locket over it and the door slid open. I ran out of the room before the door could shut again and I looked back at the door I had just came out of.

I looked for a handle, or something that would've made the door open. When I couldn't find one, I almost gave up, but then I saw a similar symbol to the one in the room that I had put my locket up to.

I put my locket up against the symbol and since I was leaning against the door, I fell into the room. A pair of red eyes flashed at me and I turned around and ran.

I walked back down to the door and as kept trying to put my bobby-pin in the lock. As I kept trying, I heard voices.

"How did he not find her?" I heard a guy ask, I assumed it was Fabian.

"Maybe she's just really good at hide-and-seek." Amber told him. I rolled my eyes and kept picking the lock.

"Maybe she jumped out the window."

"I highly doubt that Patricia. Nina wouldn't do that. Right?" Fabian asked. By the third time, I finally got my bobby-pin in the lock and I started picking it. The lock clicked and I opened the door. Fabian, Patricia and Amber all jumped back.

"Hi." I said. They all waved and I turned around to shut and lock the door while the stood there and looked at me shocked

Fabian's POV

"How did he not find her?" I asked Amber and Patricia.

"Maybe she's just really good at hide-and-seek." Amber said. I rolled my eyes and looked towards Patricia.

"Maybe she jumped out the window." Patricia said.

"I highly doubt that Patricia. Nina wouldn't do that. Right?" I asked Amber, as she shrugged. All of a sudden the lock to the attic door clicked and Nina walked out.

Amber, Patricia and I all jumped back.

"Hi." She said. We all waved and she turned around to shut and lock the door while we all stood there, frozen.

Amber was the first to recover.

"Was it creepy up there?" She asked, linking arms with Nina as we all began to walk to Nina and Amber's room.

"Actually it wasn't that bad. I didn't have a chance to really look around with Victor coming up but it looked pretty cool." Amber and Patricia sat down on her bed so Nina and I sat down on hers.

"Okay Patricia so where's the key." Patricia's face fell.

"What key?" Nina asked.

"While Victor was in the attic, Patricia ran to his office and grabbed the spare attic key. Where is it Patricia?" Patricia grimaced.

"Funny story. When I heard footsteps coming near my door, I kinda threw it out the window."

"You what!" We yelled.

"I didn't want him to find it and I panicked! I'm sorry." I ran a hand down my face.

"No, it's fine. We'll just have to find it after school tomorrow." We all heard Victor yell his ten o'clock speech and we all groaned. Patricia and I ran out of Amber and Nina's room and to our own rooms. I ran down the stairs and avoided eye contact with Victor as I ran to my room.

Nina's POV

The next morning, Amber and I walked down to breakfast. When I walked in Jerome and Alfie clapped for me.

"Well done Newb." Jerome said as he passed by me.

"Any zombies or aliens up there?" Alfie asked.

"Nope, just a few rats and spiders." Alfie grabbed a piece of toast that sat on the plate in front of me and walked to his seat. We ate breakfast in silence for the next few minutes before we all started trickling out the door for school.

I was the first one to leave and as I was walking, I heard the sound of stones shuffling as someone ran across them.

"Nina!" I heard a voice call out. I turned around and saw Fabian running to catch up with me.

"Would you...would...huh. Would you fancy walking over with me." I smiled.

"I would fancy that." I told him emphasizing the fancy. These British terms were going to be the end of me. We were talking until all of a sudden, Fabian dove into the bushes.

"What are you doing?" I asked him, standing there watching him looking for something.

"I'm looking for something. Hang on." He said as he looked through the bushes.

Jerome and Alfie ran by me at that second and I turned to watch them run. When I turned around, Fabian was back by my side, the key in his hand.

I saw a leaf behind his ear so I grabbed it while I started to laugh.

"This is going back into Victor's key box." He told me while he held it up. He went to put it in his bag when I grabbed it.

"Actually that's going to wait a while. I wanna make another trip up to the attic." Fabian gave me a incredulous look.

"You're going back up there. Willingly?" He asked me.

"It didn't sound so crazy in my head." I told him reluctantly. "I saw something up there and I need to see what it was. I just won't go up there while Victor's awake anymore." I said.

"Nina-" He started.

"You're right. It's crazy." I said as I walked away. Fabian stood where I had left him, flabbergasted.

A/N: So I just realized that I haven't done a disclaimer once in this story so I'm gonna do one now. I do NOT own House of Anubis or any of its characters. I only own my changes in the plot line. Okay, so I wasn't going to include this scene but I really want some Fabina in here. (Oh who am I kidding. I want LOTS of Fabina in here.) I always thought that this scene was one of the big spots in their relationship and this is the first scene I think about when it comes to Fabian and Nina's relationship.
