IMPORTANT! I have changed my username from 'JessIsTheBest' to 'Wizard of Wonderland', so please don't think I'm someone else, you may be confused xD This is because I want to have some sort of fan base, and why not do it by putting us all in a mystical, magical atmosphere? So if you are a fan, you are officially a 'Wonderland Wanderer'! Brilliant, isn't it? Now, I must say, I only thought of this because of 'Definition of a Writer', which I feel ashamed of... I mean, I seem to copy her with everything! Of course I've seen all that stuff before, but, ya know... But oh well, I wanted to have some sort of fan name anyway! Hehe...
Oh, and early update to celebrate all this stuff, woo!

Chapter Ten
The door slammed open, Nina and Fabian both dove behind the bookshelf, hoping whoever what there didn't find them. Nina fidgeted with her hands slightly, just like she had done at the police station. Fabian put his hands over hers, hoping it would help her relax.
She looked at his hands and smiled slightly, calming down a bit. She didn't like getting in trouble, being in trouble, or having anything to do with trouble. She was a good girl, and she liked being that way. Sure, she was a bit rebellious when she was with Delaney, but not usually.
Fabian peeked over, and saw the man walking around. He was defiantly older, he looked to be in his late sixties. He had blackish-grey hair, and his eyes were a lighter blue.
The man looked around the library, and Fabian hid himself back behind the bookshelf, staying with Nina. He peeked through the cracks of the bookshelf instead, so he could see what the man was doing.
The man had looked for the journal, and scoffed when it wasn't there. He knew other people were looking for it, he wasn't a fool.
"It's almost time!" The man shouted loudly, angrily walking out of the library, and slamming the door shut. Nina and Fabian both jumped slightly, he slammed the door quite hard.
"I think he is involved in the mystery, we need to follow him!" Fabian exclaimed, moving his hands off Nina's, and standing up. He offered his hand once more, and she stood up, and they both ran outside.
The man was walking pretty slowly, which was good for the two. If he was going fast, it would be harder to keep track of him. They walked far behind him, so he wouldn't notice them.
Nina and Fabian were both still holding hands, but neither of them said anything about it.
The man seemed to be going towards the boarding school that they learned about earlier. It really was only a few minutes away from the library! Fabian was sure that would be handy at some point.
"Where do you think he's going?" Nina asked suddenly, as they quietly walked behind the mysterious man. Nina thought the guy looked creepy, he seemed really old, but yet, not that old at all. She didn't know how to describe it.
"I think he might work at the school," Fabian responded, continuing to walk. "For our sake, I hope he is. We'd be able to find again if we needed to."
The man stopped in front of a large home, and walked straight in.
"Isn't that trespassing?" Nina wondered.
"Not if he is the house master." Fabian commented, going towards the door. He waited about a minute before he opened it, and walked inside, along with Nina.
Nobody was around, Victor had already left. They could hear chatter coming from the room to the left, but they didn't need any attention. They weren't supposed to be in there, they needed to be quiet. If someone noticed them, they'd be kicked out.
"Nina, look at the staircase." Fabian whispered suddenly, directing Nina's attention over to it.
The 'Eye of Horus', right there!
"I think this house will be very useful to us. I think it's the key to this whole mystery." Fabian said quietly, looking around.
They were on their way…
Oh my goodness, this is short. But I can't really extend this one, and the next has some important information in it! This story might also be shorten by one/two chapters, only because I'll combine them. But this chapter couldn't be combined, it would be bad! So this is all you get today :P
Once again, review, and I shall send you a preview sometime today or tomorrow! Or near the time when you send it in! Yeah! That's all for now my Wanderers :) Update date will be given in your previews!
