A/N Ok everybody I was at a romance author's signing last night and I'm ready to go today. Believe this chapter will be juicy in more ways than one. Enjoy! Sibuna!

Classes went pretty normal except for Amanda being very jumpy and not talking much. Nina was trying to figure out how to get her to talk to her. Anytime Nina was able to get Amanda alone for a moment Amanda would come up with some excuse to walk away from her. Nina was ready to take some drastic action. And finally after most of the school day she got her moment as Amanda walked into the girls bathroom.

"What is going on Amanda?" Nina asked as she followed her into the bathroom.

Amanda turned around a little shocked and asked, "What are you talking about? I just have to pee."

"No, you've been avoiding me all day. Anytime I get you alone for a moment you come up with some reason to walk away. I know something is going on and that things aren't right! Where were you and what happened to you?" Nina said getting more and more firm.

"Nina I was with my aunt and uncle who came to visit. We spent some good time together and now I have to get caught up on everything I missed." Amanda said as she glanced down at the floor. She knew that if she had to look at Nina she wouldn't be able to lie and she couldn't handle another shock today. She had already recieved 3 from slipping here and there and they've been getting worse each time. Her head was beginning to hurt.

"You've never mentioned an aunt and uncle to me before. Plus it's me, you tell me everthing and we go everywhere together. I see how jumpy you've become and I know that you are not easily scared, so what is going on?" Nina asked again.

Suddenly Amanda looked up and made eye contact with Nina. Nina saw the tears streaming down Amanda's eyes as Amanda barely got out, "Nina, I'm really okay. It's just been a busy week. I need to go to the bathroom now, but I'll catch up with you later, okay?" Then Amanda gave Nina a huge firm hug.

Nina stood there as Amanda walked into a stall in shock. It takes a lot to get Amanda to cry. Then and there she knew that something was seriously wrong, but for whatever reason Amanda couldn't tell her about it. As she walked out of the bathroom deep in thought suddenly someone grabbed her from behind and twirled her around. He grabbed her around the waist and neck and dipped her backwards. Suddenly he planted a big kiss on her lips right as Nina could tell that it was Fabian.

"Where have you been all day?" Fabian asked. "I've been wanting to take you in my arms and kiss you since this morning. I can't wait another moment..." Right then he pinned Nina against the lockers and continued the kiss that he originally started. And of course Nina couldn't refuse.

Amanda walked out of the bathroom after she had straightened herself up. And was finally able to smile as she walked past Nina and Fabian. "Nothing changes," Jerome said as he walked up behind her. "And trust me it keeps getting worse day by day!" He finished as he pointed to Nina and Fabian still kissing by the lockers.

Jerome wrapped his arm around Amanda and walked with her down the hallway. "Now tell me miss Amanda, how should we make-up for our missed date?"

Amanda grinned again, glad to be back in Jerome's arms. "I would love to be with you tomarrow night!" She said excitedly.

"Tomarrow, what about today?" Jerome asked as he gently pulled Amanda into a cubby whole in the wall and pushed her hair away from her eyes. As he gently caressed her check she closed her eyes wishing this moment would never end. Right when their lips were about to touch for a gentle kiss...

"ATTENTION EVERYONE, there is an anouncement I would like to make." Hollered Mr Sweet at the end of the hallway. "We have a new student starting today."

Now everyone was paying attention. Amanda and Jerome made their way back into the hallway right next to where Fabian and Nina were standing and watching Mr Sweet.

"This is Eddy Miller. He will be staying in the Anubis house." Mr. Sweet continue. "We also have a new staff member. This is Vera and she will be a new secretary for the school and also staying in the Anubis house."

As their names were mentioned Eddy, a young boy with ruffled blonde hair and old bruising around his eyes, and Vera, a middle aged woman with short blonde hair, walked out from Mr. Sweet's office. "I would like everyone to welcome them and make them feel as comfortable as possible." Mr Sweet finished as he walked back into his office.

"What is he all about. He is pretty yummy if you ask me!" Patricia whispered as she walked up to where Fabian and Nina were standing.

Nina barely heard a word Patricia said due to Amanda's reaction to seeing Eddy and Vera. She noticed as Eddy walked by his eyes locked on Amanda's and tears began welling up in her eyes again. Nina then knew that somehow they were connected. She leaned over to Fabian, "We need to talk?" She whispered as she led him away. Then she told him everything she noticed and everthing Amanda had said to her in the bathroom.

"So how will we find out what is going on? It sounds like someone is hurting them, or blackmailing them." Fabian said.

"I think I know how to get a little more concrete evidence about Amanda, but I won't be able to do it until tonight when she leaves to go back to her aunt and uncle's house. And I think we should get the gang back together." Nina responded as they began going to their last class for the day.

After classes ended Amanda left in a taxi and Nina rushed to the phone. About a half hour later she returned to her room where Fabian was waiting for her as white as a ghost. "So what did you find out?" Fabian asked.

"I just got off the phone with Amanda's mom. Amanda doesn't have any aunt and uncles. Both parents were only children. She has no relatives at all that are around here and would come to visit. And the other thing. Mr Sweet has told them that Amanda is off on a field project to tour various parts of England to help her learn the history of England. He told them that every student who is not from England goes on this tour to help them understand the land and customs better." Nina said as she looked down at the ground.

"But there is no tour of England for other students." Fabian stated.

"I know. Amanda has been taken by someone and Mr. Sweet is involved." As Nina made her last statement tears streamed down her eyes and she finished with "Amanda is in a lot of trouble!"

~CHANGE SCENE~

Amanda walked into the buidling where she was to return every night. As she walked in she saw a big burly woman walk swiftly across the floor to her then suddenly...SMACK! Amanda was facedown on the floor with blood coming from her nose. The big lady had hit her. "You little brat! You almost slipped numerous times today. You almost confided in Nina." As she was talking she grabbed Amanda by the hair and began dragging her into another room with nothing but a chair in there. "You will have a long night of training before returning to school tomarrow." She threw Amanda across the room then said, "Now tell me about the boy named Fabian!"
