Thanks Skylar, drama4lifexoxo, Heather and Lover-Bug for reviewing.

Disclaimer: I do not own House of Anubis, if I did Fabina would never have broken up obviously, they probably would've got together in the first episode.

House of Sacrifice

Monday morning was fun for everyone except Zaielle- there wasn't a person in the room that wasn't staring at them or making comments about their relationship. Danielle had threatened her 3 roommates that if any of them divulged the contents of the letter to anyone they would be murdered viciously which hadn't done much good because that left everybody to just make up what was in it.

"Let's just go," sighed Danielle after finally having enough.

They left with choruses of "ooohs" behind them.

"Are you beginning to regret this?" asked Danielle.

"Just writing the letter," he replied, "I should've just kissed you when we were locked in the closet together."

Danielle laughed and confidently took hold of her new boyfriend's hand which made Zach smile.

She said, "The letter was so sweet."

"I know," he joked.

She rolled her eyes and they walked to class.

HOAHOAHOA

The next couple of weeks passed quickly and without incident. No new relationships happened because everyone seemed content to just bask in the cuteness of Zaielle. At least Amber did and when it came to people getting together that's all that really mattered, Amber had done her job well and deserved a nice break from making people happy.

Zach and Danielle were sitting on the sofa together, Zach was watching TV and Danielle was laying against his chest with her legs tucked up to her chest, her American history book resting open on them.

"Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss!" chanted Amber as she came down the stairs with Nina in tow.

Danielle rolled her eyes and Zach kissed the top of her head.

"You know that's not what I mean," she moaned sitting down next to Danielle, "Kiss her, properly kiss him," she emphasised the word 'properly'.

Danielle hid her head in Zach's chest.

"Leave them alone," said Nina, "You're not one to talk, your single."

Amber replied, "Single by choice- it's different."

"Right," said Nina.

Zach frowned, "That's sound kind of bitchy Ninny."

She stuck her tongue out at him and she and Amber left the house, they were looking for Mick and Catty who were for no apparent reason climbing trees in the forest by the house.

"What are you two doing?" wondered Amber a hint of laughter in the voice, "Come down here, we need to talk."

"Amber, be nice," ordered Nina.

Amber snapped, "No." This just made Nina start laughing.

Mick came down the tree first and then helped Catty down, smiles on both their faces. Nina thought, "They obviously like each other, with the amount of time they spend together it's like they're together anyway."

Amber asked with forced politeness and calmness when they came down the tree, "We were wondering whether you'd made any progress with finding the next scroll."

Mick and Catty shared a look and then shook their heads.

Catty explained, "It's just so creepy, 'see his blood', and we don't really know where to start with that."

"Well Nina just had an idea about it now," informed Amber.

Catty and Mick turned to look at Nina expectantly and she swallowed and explained, "I think it could mean us putting some blood on the eye of horus, because it's an eye so it could see it."

There was silence for a moment as they processed this new idea and then Mick said, "Should we try it with my blood since it says he?"

Nina nodded and said, "If that's ok?"

Mick confirmed that it was and Amber took out a small knife from her huge bag, when they gave her alarmed looks she shrugged and cried, "Do you blame me? Do you remember what happened a few weeks ago?"

They gave her nods and signs of agreement, understanding and such then Mick took the knife off her and made a small cut on his finger. It started to bleed and Nina handed him the eye of horus and he pressed it to his finger- nothing happened.

"Well it was worth a try," sighed Amber.

Catty said encouragingly, "It was a good idea Ninny, we'll keep trying."

Nina looked quite down-hearted but managed a smile.

Amber grinned now and said, "Now follow me guys."

The others looked at her like she was crazy so the third time that day but they followed her into the woods anyway. They didn't go far and came to a clearing where the rest of the Anubis gang were waiting for them.

"So what's this about?" wondered Josie.

"I remembered the other day that all you new members and even some of you older ones hadn't been through the traditional Sibuna rite of passage," informed Amber, "When we started the group we all had to sacrifice something we loved in the fire."

She then opened her massive bag and emptied the contents.

In the bag was a picture, coloured hair pieces, a pair of socks, a poster, a drawing and a certificate.

There were outbreaks of mumbling and yelling and arguing then Nina said, "Guys, you have to do it, we all did, Fabian sacrificed his book, Alfie sacrificed his hat, Amber sacrificed her favourite picture and I sacrificed my lucky mascot."

They were silent and Amber said, "Please collect your item."

She then ordered them in the order of membership, Patricia, then Jerome, then Joy, then Catty, then Mick and last was Josie.

Patricia frowned and tossed into the fire her favourite hair pieces.

Jerome was next holding a picture of him and Patricia, he asked, "What did you do with the frame?"

"It's by your bed still, I would've brought it but it's metal so it wouldn't burn quickly," replied Amber.

Mick laughed, "You keep a picture of Patricia by your bed."

"Your prized possession is a pair of socks!" retorted Jerome.

"Their lucky," said Mick sadly.

Catty added, "They smell awful."

"Just throw your things in the fire guys!" exclaimed Amber.

Jerome put his picture in and then Joy went after him holding her poster of Robert Pattinson, she looked very sad as she watched it burn.

Catty was next holding a drawing in her hands looking very reluctant.

Nina gasped and exclaimed, "No, not that! That's the drawing you drew of all of us the summer before we started high school."

Catty nodded and Nina rushed towards her, they looked at the picture that depicted them and all their friends that were at Anubis house with them. It was good.

"I have to do it," said Catty, she felt she had to prove herself still, she understood that her cousin and her friends had been through a lot last year and probably still didn't think she was as important as they were to the mission.

She put it in the fire and hugged her cousin; Mick was next very sadly burning his lucky socks that he always wore in sporting competitions.

Last was Josie holding a certificate, she held it over the fire, closed her eyes and let it drop. It was the first award she'd ever gotten for her acting and she was very proud of it, it was the thing that started her competitive streak.

"That wasn't too hard was it?" wondered Amber.

They all stared at her like she was insane- Amber was used to that stare by now.

"Now repeat after me," she began, "I, then say your name." They all did this. "Being of sound mind." They repeated this too. "Promise to protect the secrets of Anubis house with my fellow sibuna members: Amber Millington, Nina Martin, Fabian Rutter, Alfie Lewis, Patricia Williamson, Jerome Clarke, Joy Mercer, Catty Samuels, Mick Campbell and Josie Matters." They repeat this too with some stumbling.

Then Amber raised her hand to her eye and said "Sibuna." They repeated this too.

She exclaimed, "Welcome to the club!"

HOAHOAHOA

Nina was half asleep a smile on her face as she thought about Fabian like she did most of the time when she wasn't forced to think about something else. Things were going great with him, there were no problems and he seemed to like her almost as much as she liked him.

Her mind wandered for a few more minutes, she was almost asleep when...

Nina sat up suddenly and quietly rushed out of the room and to the bathroom.

"See his blood," she muttered, "See his blood."

She stared at herself in the mirror for a few moments and then she took the necklace off and opened the cupboard and took out a razor.

She made a small cut in her finger and pressed it to the eye of horus.

The ground started shaking like it had before and the white blinding light appeared from locket and Nina closed her eyes immediately and when the locket grew too hot she let go and it fell to the floor.

When Nina heard the sound of the scroll hitting the floor she knew she could open her eyes, she looked down and it was right of in front of her feet. She picked it up and went back to bed.

So there was a little bit of Zaille at the start, lots of Sibuna and some mystery. Hope you liked it.

I got a review saying that the story needed more Nina and I tried to work on that in this chapter, especially at the end, so I hope that's worked out and I will contiune to write more Nina into the story. I think I just forgot how great her character is, which is stupid :D

Thanks for reading and please review.
