A/N: Yeah, I know I haven't updated in a while, but I have it all planned out. I'll update on Wednesdays and the weekends since the rest of the time, I'm pretty much booked. Oh, and reviewing really puts a smile on my face so please review! I beg you! Ha ha, okay, on with the chapter...
Nina anxiously waited in the attic for her time to get out. Amber planned that she should reveal herself in the living room while she and Fabian bring in the rest of the house blindfolded or something. Though Amber was debating herself on the whole "blindfolding" thing, Nina had to be prepared for what Amber's plan of attack would be. She could never understand what goes on in that head of her's.
Nina checked the time on an old clock and saw that midnight would be in a half hour or so. She got up from her spot on the attic floor and crept down the creaky attic stairs. She unlocked the door with her trusty hair pin and silently opened it. She walked down the staircase until she heard the front door creak open. She quickly crouched down and looked through the railing. As she looked on, she saw a hooded figure walk in carrying a box. As she looked closer at the features, she recognized the face.
"Mr. Sweet?" Nina asked. Mr. Sweet looked up from his box and when he saw Nina, he dropped it in shock.
"Ms. Martin?" He asked in awe. "I thought you were-"
"Dead? Heh heh, yeah, everyone thought that. But, I'm okay."
"It would seem so."
"So... uhh... what's with the creepy hood?"
"The hood? Oh, yes, the hood! It looked like rain was about to pour down, so I thought I'd protect my head."
"Okay... what's with the box?"
"Oh, this? This is just a package for Victor. Inside is something he wants to surprise the whole house with."
"A surprise? What is it?"
"Now, Nina, you know as well as I do, that I can't tell."
"Come on, Mr. Sweet."
"I'm sorry, Nina, but I can't say anything. Well, I better get this to Victor." Mr. Sweet said picking up the box and walking away.
"I'll come with you." Nina said about to walk along, as well.
"No!" Mr. Sweet said turning towards her. Nina jumped back at his snappish order. "I mean... no. You just stay right here. Besides, this is an adult matter. Wouldn't interest you."
"Oh, okay."
"That a girl." Mr. Sweet said turning his back on her. Nina looked down at her feel and saw something that must've fell out of the box when Sweet dropped it. It was a medium sized bottle with some-what orange liquid inside. She bent down and picked it up.
"Mr. Sweet?" Nina asked.
"Yes, Ms. Martin?" he asked. When he saw the elixer in her possession, his eyes widened.
"Care to explain?" Nina asked. Mr. Sweet saw that he had been found out, so he dropped everything and grabbed Nina. He took a hold of her arms and positioned them so that they couldn't move and he put his hand over her mouth. She struggled but couldn't get out of Sweet's grasp. Nina tried to scream for help but her screams turned into muffled cries. Mr. Sweet dragged her over to the cellar door and opened it. He then threw Nina in there and she fell down a few steps. Mr. Sweet closed the door on her and locked it. Nina got up and tried to open the door, but it was locked tight and wouldn't budge.
"Hey! Let me out!" Nina screamed.
"I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to do that." Mr. Sweet said. "The Chosen One awaits my arrival."
"... Who the heck is that?"
"Why, Ms. Joy Mercer, of course. Now that I've got you out of the way, things can go along swimmingly, like planned out in the first place!"
"You can't do that! Let me out of here!"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Martin, but you simply know too much!" Mr. Sweet said walking away from the door. Nina started to bang and kick the door, trying to get out of the prison Sweet put her in. She did everything she could, but her bangs and cries were never noticed.
"Definitely not good." Nina said to herself.
A/N: Short? Yes, I know. But there will be longer chapters, I promise. Now, in the oncoming chapters, that's where things get awesome! I kknow I've said this a billion times, but, please review!
