*Fabian's POV*

I had finally gotten to come home from the hospital. My house mates had thrown me a welcome back party, and best of all, I was with Nina again. After I was welcomed into the house, we went into the common room. I was feeling a little nasty, so I sat on the big lumpy couch. Nina was next to me in a heartbeat. She held my hand, and we enjoyed the togetherness. Amber turned on the TV, and the most unexpected thing happened. There was a video of the state jail, and Joy's mug shot. The reporter spoke.

Earlier today, a young incarcerated female escaped from the state prison. Joy Mercer, a former resident of Anubis House on the campus of the prestigious boarding school in Liverpool was convicted for possession of drugs, and attempted murder of a fellow housemate. Mercer was out of her cell when she pulled a gun from an officer. She shot two and wounded a third. Mercer escaped from the jail moments later. She still hasn't been found. A search party is underway. If you have any information on this developing stor-

Amber turned the TV off.

"Oh my God." Nina looked around the room. Every single person's jaws were on the floor. We had never expected this.

"Lock the doors and windows! Lock the cellar door, and no body leave the house!" Trudy was running around like a crazy person. Who could blame her? Mick, Jerome, and Alfie ran through the house locking all the doors. Mick pushed the grandfather clock in front of the cellar door, just in case. Jerome locked the front door, and pushed the large antique mirror in front of it. While Alfie locked all the windows.

All the girls, as well as myself, stayed in the common room. We just sat there, completely shocked.

Nina gave a sarcastic laugh. "I knew it was too good to be true! She's never going to stop!"

"It's going to be alright, Nina. Now that I'm home, we're all together. She won't be able to get all of us. We're locked in and she's locked out." I gave her a hug.

Just then, the phone rang. Trudy went to answer it. "Hello? Yes, we saw it. Fabian is home. Alright. I will be sure to let the children know. Thank you, Eric." Trudy turned to look at our worried faces. "That was Mr. Sweet. He wanted to make sure Fabian was home. The entire school is on a code red lock down. No one leaves, and no one comes. They've got police at all the entrances, and the K9 unit walking the grounds."

We all breathed a half sigh of relief.

"Can we all sleep down here tonight? I don't want to be by myself." Amber said in a sing-songish kind of voice. She rocked back and forth on her toes.

"I think that's a good idea. I call the couch!" I raised my hand trying to lighten the mood. I didn't want to go through anything like that again. Though it seemed that history was repeating itself.

I was brought out of my thoughts when Nina got up to leave. "Where are you going?"

"It's a surprise." She gave me her beautiful smile.

After a few minutes, Nina came back with a plate of her amazing chocolate chip cookies.

"Nina! How did you know we made those?" Amber seemed upset.

"I can smell from upstairs you know." She sat the plate down, and everyone dug in.

It was like old times. When there was nothing to worry about. Just small things like what Trudy was making for dinner, or what we'd watch on TV. This was how I liked it. After a few hours of talking, truth or dare, and Jersey Shore, which Nina found on Pay-per-view, I could feel my energy high coming to an end.

Nina noticed my droopy eye lids. "I'll get some blankets. Do all of you want to go get pillows and things?"

"Sure. Be back shortly." Mick grabbed Amber, and the rest followed.

"I'll go get our things." Nina left the room.

I was so happy to be back home. To be back to my best friends, and the girl of my dreams. Nina came back moments later with our things. She had changed out of her romper and fedora, and now sported sweats and a tank top, and big fluffy slippers.

"Let's get cozy." She laid down next to me. All the others came back in the room. We all felt safe and sound crowded together with people we trusted. The warmth in the room quickly took its toll, and we drifted off to sleep.

It must have been a few hours later, because it was pitch black in the room. "Fabian! Fabian!" Nina stood over me.

"W-what is it?" I rubbed my eyes.

"I woke up to use the bathroom, I saw something on the window. When I went to see what it was, I realized it was a note. It said: You think you're so safe in there. Well guess what? There's someone in there that isn't who they say they are. Good luck, you'll need it."

"Oh God." I rubbed my forehead and pulled Nina tightly towards me. We looked around the room. Patricia, Jerome, Amber, Mick, Mara, and Alfie. One of our dearest friends was a trader. Someone who we thought we could trust was on Joy's side. We were no longer safe in the house.
