Ok, so I won't be updating as frequently as I have been after this because I have other stories to write, but I'll be updatingmore frequently than I was before. I'm working on chapter 7, about half way through. I'll try to update every weekend, like I guess every... Friday? Or around that time.

Enjoy the chapter! Give KT your warmest of welcomes! Because she doesn't get much of one in the story.

Also thanks so much for the reviews! Only 5 chapters and I got more than 50? You guys are awesome!

Chapter 6

"Ok loves, I put money on the table for you to order pizza. I'll be seeing you on Tuesday" Trudy said as she exited the door with an overnight bag at the same time someone else came in with a suitcase.

"Finally!" the girl said not noticing everyone else stare at her. "Finally at my new home"

The girl walked up the stairs and didn't turn around and look at the other Anubis residents looking at her.

"Who the hell was that?" Amber asked.

"Dunno" Mara shrugged.

"It's another American" Patricia said. Eddie and Nina shared a glance. The girl came back down the stairs and finally noticed the living room filled with teenagers.

"Oh hi! I'm KT" she said to them. They all continued to stare at her.

KT began to get a little nervous. They didn't seem like her kind of people. All of the girls were glammed up to the max with expensive accessories and clothes. And the boys had gold watches and fancy sneakers. They all looked very Beverly hills 90210, for being British.

Nina realized how rude she was being. She wasn't trying to be, she just was surprised to see another girl walk through the door, and an American nonetheless. Just as she was about to get up and introduce herself, her phone buzzed. She reached in her pocket, noticing that everyone else was too, and clicked on the small jackal that was in her notification bar. When she got to the home screen it looked pretty much the same, except the white jackal in the middle of the screen was now glowing. She clicked on the glowing mark and it brought her to the latest news by the Jackal.

Well Anubis is really recruiting aren't they? Another American just walked inside. And it doesn't sound like the crew is giving her the warmest of welcomes. Will this girl make it past the initiation? Or will she fall like the lot of them. I'll keep you posted! -Jackal

"Oh no, I don't think so" Patricia said. "We do not need another girl in the house, we're stuffed already!"

"Normally I wouldn't agree with you" Joy said. "But I will admit, we already have two rooms with three people staying in it"

"Well no one invited you back either" Patricia spat at her.

"Are we really starting this again?" Joy asked.

"I don't see what the big deal is" Amber said. "So we got another girl, big whoop"

"You do realize if she stays here she'll have to sleep with you and Nina?" Mara asked. "Which means less closet space"

"What?!" Amber screeched. "VICTOR"

"What? What is it?" Victor said coming down the stairs looking ready to leave.

"Where are you going?" Fabian asked.

"I already told you I'm going away for the rest of today and tomorrow" Victor said.

"Victor this random American girl just waltz right in and she thinks she's staying here. We're stuffed!" Amber said.

"I'm leaving bother Trudy about it" Victor said.

"But she's-" Fabian started.

"Working in the laundry room, very busy" Alfie interrupted.

"Yeah, we don't want to disturb her" Jerome said.

"But you disturb me? Trudy!" Victor called.

"Um, actually Victor, we'll figure it out on our own" Amber said. Victor looked at KT standing awkwardly to the side.

"What are you?" he asked.

"I'm, um KT" She said quietly. "I'm gonna be staying here"

Victor looked from her to the Anubis Residents. "Good luck" he said as he exited the house.

"Why does Victor think Trudy is still here?" Fabian asked. Amber, Alfie, and Jerome smiled at each other.

"Did we forget to tell Victor that Trudy was leaving to visit her friends new baby on the same day Victor's going to that meeting for two days?" Jerome asked.

"Oops" Amber shrugged.

"Wait, are you telling me we have the whole house to ourselves for two days?" Patricia asked.

"That's exactly what we're telling you" Alfie smiled.

"That's awesome!" Mick exclaimed.

"I'm just gonna go unpack" KT said quietly as she went up the stairs. When she was out of earshot Amber immediately turned to the group.

"What are we gonna do?" Amber asked.

"We just do what we usually do" Alfie shrugged.

"No, we have to make sure we don't get anyone else. Doesn't matter if they pass the initiation or not" Amber said. "She is not wanted here"

"We all should make her life here hell" Patricia said. "So they know they shouldn't send anymore people"

"I don't think that's a good idea" Joy said.

"Ugh come on" Jerome said. "It'll be just like old times"

"No" Joy said.

"Well who all is with us?" Amber asked. She raised her hand and so did Alfie, Jerome, and Patricia of course. Eddie also did and surprisingly Mara did too.

"Mara?" Fabian asked, shocked.

"Well, normally I wouldn't agree with this" Mara said. "I never liked the torture those four did. But I'm actually thinking about her. It's not fun sleeping in a room that should be for one person and squeezing three beds into it. And she'd have to share with Amber nonetheless. Plus, she doesn't look like she would fit in here. She's too nice. She'd be much better in another house"

"Well when you put it that way..." Mice raised his hand.

"I guess you're right" Fabian said with his hand up. "But don't do anything too mean"

Joy sighed. Nina reluctantly rose her hand. "Nina!"

"Amber only gives me a hook to begin with" Nina said. "And she already doesn't like the girl, so why would we want her to go through the torture of staying here?"

"I'm not gonna be apart of this" Joy said.

"Fine, but don't get in the way" Patricia said.

"We can't back down" Amber said. "If you do this, you can't be afraid to hurt someone's feelings. You have to really show that she's not welcome"

"Amber's right" Alfie said. "When we do what we do, there's no holding back. It has to be the same for you"

"Don't back down until it's done" Jerome said. "Put on your poker faces. This is our house we can have who we want in it and we don't want her. Get it?"

Fabian couldn't believe he was agreeing to this. But reminded himself that it would just be better for the girl to be somewhere else. "Yeah, no backing down"

"She'd be better somewhere else" Nina nodded.

"She doesn't belong here" Mara said.

"She's not welcome here" Eddie said.

"She's got to go" Mick said.

"Great" Patricia smiled. "So we're all on the same page"

That new girl better say her prayers. Because dealing with the Fearsome Four is one thing. But when the whole house gets involved, it's sayonara! There's no way she'll be able to survive this. I actually feel a bit sorry for her. That new girl is so in for it -Jackal

"Um, hey, I wanted to put my stuff up but someones clothes is already in there" KT said. They all looked at her. "Well aren't you guys quiet"

"Don't mind them" Joy said and everyone looked at her. "They don't do well to new people"

"You're the first person to actually talk to me" KT smiled.

"I'm Joy" she said. "Do you need help unpacking?"

"Nonsense! We'll help her" Amber smiled referring to herself and Nina. The two led her up the stairs. "I'm Amber"

"I'm Nina" she said. As they walked inside the room, Nina was surprised to see KT's stuff on her bed. "And that's my bed"

"Oh is it? I'm sorry I didn't know" KT said. "It didn't look like anyones slept in it"

"Maybe that's because I make my bed every morning" Nina said. She couldn't hide that she was upset. She had only been there for five minutes. She didn't even get a chance to unpack, but the new girl, or newer girl, has already made a place for herself. Nina had to work for her spot in the house and she wasn't about to leave anytime soon.

"I'm really sorry" KT said moving her stuff from Nina's bed. Amber had to hold in her laughter. "Where's my bed?"

"Well you see newby" Amber said. "This room is meant for two people. You're not supposed to be in here"

"But we'll make room for you" Nina said kindly. "You can take your homemade pillows that you so eagerly put on my bed and make a bed on the floor until Trudy and Victor come back with the bed they're somehow gonna squeeze in here"

"Um... ok" KT said. Nina realized what she said, and even though she was upset about the bed thing, she couldn't believe it was her that was saying these things. It seemed as though Amber read her mind when she mouthed 'Don't back down'. "Would you help me unpack?"

"Geez we're not your slaves" Amber said and left the room with Nina.

"Yeah the pizzas here!" Mick said running to the door.

"Yes!" Alfie and Eddie followed.

"Well, what's she like?" Mara asked when they came down stairs.

"She's totally convinced she's staying here. But Nina was awesome!" Amber said.

"How so?" Fabian asked.

"Well New Girl thought Nina's bed was her bed, and Nina got so mad" Amber explained.

"I wasn't that mad" Nina said.

"So she told the new girl to find space on the floor and sleep there it was hilarious!" Amber laughed.

"That sounds pretty harsh" Fabian said.

"Don't go soft we barely begun!" Jerome said.

"Nina can I talk to you for a second?" Joy asked. Nina nodded and they went on the side. "Don't let this place change you"

"How would it change me?" Nina asked.

"I've seen it happen before" Joy said looking at Fabian.

"Why are you looking at Fabian?" Nina asked. "You said it yourself he's like the sweetest guy out there"

"Because there was a time period when Fabian wasn't so sweet. It was a little after he'd been here for a month, he started to change. But that's not his fault, I was mostly the one that corrupted him" Joy said. Nina remembered what Fabian said to Mr. Sweet when they got caught. 'just a little something I picked up from Joy' "He only recently went back to his old ways. Same with Mara. I think that's partially because I left. When I was still here, they weren't so sweet. It's this place! They're not even totally back to the way they were" Joy said.

"Trust me, I'm still me" Nina said. "And I'm keeping my lucky sneakers so it stays that way"

"Keep those sneakers" Joy warned.

"I will!" Nina said. They rejoined the group as they all sat at the dinner table.

"We have the whole house to ourselves tonight, what are we gonna do?" Mick asked the group.

"We could have a party!" Amber said.

"It's already six, it's not enough notice" Mara said.

"Are you doubting my party planning skills?" Amber asked.

"Why can't we just hang out. Play a couple of games, just have a good time ourselves" Patricia said. "When was the last time we did that?"

"Years ago" Joy said.

"You can play" Patricia said to Joy. "But don't be a buzzkill"

"No, it actually sounds fun" Joy said.

"We have to have drinks" Jerome said. "What's a game night without drinks?"

"...A regular game night..." Eddie said.

"But we aren't regular people. We're Anubians" Jerome said.

"Who's gonna get the good stuff?" Alfie asked just as KT walked in.

"Oh! New girl!" Mara said pointing at her.

"No!" Joy protested.

"Oh shut up Joy" Patricia said. "Newby, your timing is perfect actually"

"We have a little job for you" Fabian said taking his piece of pizza.

"Oh yeah?" KT asked, taking note that there wasn't a seat for her. Joy noticed this and let her sit down, making others roll their eyes.

"We're gonna have a little game night" Mick said. "And we need something to make it more fun"

"And what's that?" KT asked.

"Well, in the school, my dad - Mr. Sweet - has these keys to the basement. In the basement is his wine cabinet" Eddie said. "Get as much as you can bring in one trip"

"Isn't that illegal?" Kt asked.

"Yeah" Mara said.

"You're not scared are you?" Amber asked.

"I have no reason to be scared, it sounds simple enough" KT said.

"Exactly, all you have to do is not get caught" Alfie said.

"Why can't one of you do it?" KT asked.

"We could, but we'd be having all the fun, and we really want you to have fun here" Fabian said.

"Besides we're eating" Mick said with a stuffed mouth. KT thought about it. This was her new home. She'd be here for a while. If doing this one thing will help get them off her back, she'll do it.

"Fine" KT said reaching for a slice of the pizza.

"You can start now" Nina said taking the last piece. Kt sighed and looked at Joy, who mouthed an apology, and made her way to the main building using a map Mr. Sweet gave her to find her way to Anubis.

"Wow" Patricia said. "I'm impressed. I know you said you were gonna do it, but I didn't know if you were actually gonna do it"

"I felt uncomfortable doing it" Mara said. "And really mean. I mean do we really want to send her out to do that?"

"I agree, are we sure this is a good idea?" Nina asked.

"Yeah, I can't believe I went through with this" Fabian said.

"Finally!" Joy said.

"Well, think of it like this" Amber said. "Either way, we're gonna give her hell, and we're gonna give any other person who thinks they can stay here hell"

"That's right, but if we make our point clear with her, we won't even have to deal with another girl" Patricia said.

"I guess..." Fabian said.

"Well, I wish luck to her" Mara said. "All of the luck in the world"

"Does anyone want this slice of pizza, because I don't actually want it" Nina said. Mick, Eddie, and Alfie reached for it at the same time, immediately.

New girl is about to do her initiation. But I don't want to spoil too much just in case any teachers are reading this. Yeah I know you do. I just know it's a dangerous task. I guess I shouldn't call it an initiation, it doesn't seem to matter if she fails or not. Doesn't look like they'll let her in either way. -Jackal

"Oh KT!" Mr. Sweet said when she stepped into his office.

"Hi Mr. Sweet!" Kt said. "I'll admit, I wasn't sure if you'd be here on a Sunday afternoon.

"What can I do for you? Completing your Anubis Initiation by chance?" Mr. Sweet ask.

'Initiation?' She thought. 'That makes so much more sense!' If she completed her initiation, maybe they wouldn't be so rude to her.

"What have they assigned to you? I hope nothing too life threatening" Mr. Sweet joked, but with a serious tone behind it.

"Um, I already did it. They're being much more welcoming now" KT smiled. If she said what it was, it would blow anything.

"Marvelous! What can I do for you?" he asked.

"I..." she thought on her toes. Then she stuffed her map in her pocket as subtle and quietly as possible. "I lost my map of the school. Yeah I'm surprised I found my way back here"

"Oh, I'll get you another one now" he said as he got up and went to a filing cabinet with his back turned to her. She quickly looked through the keys and took the one with the B on it. She hoped it stood for basement and not something like balcony.

"Here you go" he said to her.

"Thank you!" she said as she exited his office. She looked on her map and followed the way to the basement. When she got there, the key unlocked it easily. She went down the stairs, noting how dusty and creepy it was. Eventually she found the cabinet and just grabbed anything she could hold. He wouldn't guess it was her who stole it right? Besides, it looked like it hadn't been opened in centuries. She quietly made her way up the stairs, locked the door, and ran back to Anubis house, not looking back or letting up till she got there.

"I did it" KT panted bursting in the room.

"Oh! This is embarrassing" Jerome said giving her an oops face. "See as it turns out, Victor also has a wine cabinet"

"So we really didn't need you to go" Mara said. "Sorry"

"You've got to be kidding me" KT huffed.

"Nope" Patricia said.

"Fine, whatever" KT said dropping the items in her arms on the couch. "But I'm in, right?"

"In?" Amber asked her, eyebrows raising.

"This was just an initiation, right?" KT asked.

"An initiation?" Alfie laughed. "That's ridiculous! That'd be just plain cruel"

KT's eyes fell on a girl with long reddish hair and bright green eyes that glared at her.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"This is Willow from Isis house!" Mick said. "She's been waiting to stay in Anubis for months"

"Years" Willow said.

"Oh, years" Mick said. "Sweety promised her the next open spot. But instead he gave it to you"

"Oh" KT said. Willow's glare left her eyes, but she didn't smile.

"It's fine. No hard feelings" she said, though KT could tell she didn't mean it.

"Uh, yeah" KT said. Joy felt really bad for the KT. She should be getting a warm welcome. Joy decided instead of watching KT put up with this for God knows how long, she would advise her to leave now before it goes too far.

"Ok lets get this game night started!" Eddie said which was followed by cheers from his housemates.

"Be there in a sec" Joy said. She walked to KT and led her in the hallway. "I'm gonna give you advice. Leave"

"What?" KT asked.

"They're gonna be doing this to you for God knows how long" Joy explained. "It's easier if you just leave"

"No" KT said. "I'm facing this head on. I'm not about to break"

"Wow you're either really brave or incredibly stupid" Joy said and KT chuckled a little. "Either way, you've got guts. I admire that"

"Well it's much easier knowing I have at least one friend here" KT said. "Glad there's one nice person in this place"

"Honestly, they all think in a weird twisted way that they're helping you, they're really not bad people" Joy said.

"They have a weird way of 'helping'" KT said and Joy chuckled.

"Stay behind tomorrow, we can walk to school together, yeah?" Joy said to her. KT nodded and smiled.

"There you are Joy, we're playing spin the bottle!" Mick said as Joy walked in.

"Ooh fun! Anubis style?" Joy asked taking her spot in the circle.

"Yup!" Amber said.

"What's Anubis style?" Nina asked.

"Well, you spin the bottle, obviously, then you pick a slip of paper from the hat" Amber said pointing to the hat full of papers. "If you get green, you just give them a little peck. Yellow, a longer dry kiss. Red is a full make out session"

"Sound fun" Nina shrugged, and couldn't help but hope when it was her turn, she got Fabian.
