Chapter 2-What is Happening?
Fabian's POV
What the heck was happening?
One second we were having dinner and then next a black hole formed, and swallowed everything up! Why had that happened?
But more importantly, what was going to happen now?
I wasn't sure I want to know.
I couldn't see, smell, hear, taste, or touch anything. It was as if I didn't exist, as if I wasn't real.
When I was about to give up hope of ever seeing light again, I saw a speck of it.
The speck grew larger and larger.
Until finally I could see what it was, it was the house! I kept falling until...Bam!
I hit the ground.
As soon as I hit I dematerialized only to materialize back again in my room. Had that all been a dream? A crazy messed up dream?
I looked around me, something wasn't right.
And then it hit me...I was in a cartoon game!
I looked in the mirror, and gasped. My head was huge!
So were my eyes, I also had a skinny little body.
I went to the door hoping I would find the others.
I heard people yelling in the kitchen so I went there first.
Patricia was screaming at Nina, and was holding Nina's arm so she couldn't run away.
"Patricia! What are you doing?" She looked at me, and I could tell she was a cartoon also.
I glanced around the room and saw that everyone was a cartoon.
We were stuck in some kind of game.
"She did this!"
"I didn't! I swear, I have no idea what happened I was just answering the phone, and the black hole appeared."
"Yeah right," Patricia said.
I had to get Patricia to see some reason. How could Nina have done this?
"What is going on?" Victor asked, "Go to you're room it's lights out."
Why was he acting as if this wasn't happening? Was he really that oblivious, or was he hiding something?
We all stood quietly staring at him, "Well, go on."
Nina was the first to bolt, eager to escape Patricia for a moment. Then Patricia unfroze from her spot, trying to catch Nina.
Amber, Mara, Mick, Jerome, and Alfie started walking back to their rooms.
I left too, but not as fast. I went into Mick's and my room. He was standing there in his clothes, and a second later was in pajamas. What the?
"This is really weird mate," Mick told me while turning around.
"You've got that right," I replied and imagined my pajamas. I looked down and my pj's were on my body alright.
"What are we going to do Fabian?"
"I don't know Mick."
Mick looked around then laughed, "That's it! This all just a dream."
"Mick? I'm having the same dream."
His smile instantly vanished.
"It's ten o'clock and you all know what that means. You have five minutes to get to bed, and then, I want to be able to hear a pin drop."
Nina's POV
I ran up the stairs as fast as I could and heard Patricia running behind me.
Why did she hate me so much? I didn't do anything to Joy, and I didn't suck us into...whatever this place was.
It seemed like a videogame.
I got to my new room and closed the door.
Patricia opened it and walked right in, "I didn't do anything! I swear." She looked at me with a faint smile tugging at her lips. "What's so funny?" That made her give me a full on smile, "What?"
She laughed then said, "I believe you Nina. I was wrong to think you did anything to Joy, and insane to think that you sucked us into this creepy videogame."
"Really?" I asked, still not certain she was serious.
She nodded, and then frowned, "Even if I don't think you did anything that doesn't change the fact that we're stuck in here." I nodded and she continued, "We have to find a way out of here, and then we can fight all we want. Deal?"
Patricia held her hand out, and I took it smiling at my new friend.
Patricia's POV
This is perfect. With Nina I can find a way out of here.
I just know it.
There's something about her that makes me know she can help me out of here. We could escape, and then get Joy!
Everything would be alright again when Joy was back. All I had to do was work with Nina, and Joy would be alright.
Everything was going to be okay.
Nobody's POV
The residents of Anubis House (A/N not including Victor) went to sleep with only one thought on there minds...They had to escape this virtual world.
*MORNING*
One by one they woke up. Not knowing that danger was upon them.
Nina's POV
I can't believe I'm stuck in a videogame.
That's insane!
I can't be dreaming though, because everyone else is having the same exact dream.
Oh well, I just hope I can find a way out of here before it's too late.
"Hi Nina," Patricia greeted me as I walked downstairs trying to pretend that this was perfectly normal.
"Hello," I replied as I sat next to her.
She started whispering then and I had to lean in closer to hear, "So I was wondering, if this is a videogame, how far can we go from the house?" Before I could answer she added, "What if it's just the house? Oh, and I think that we can only leave if we beat the game."
"Beat the game?"
She nodded, "Yeah, I think we have to beat the boss."
"But...Who's the boss?"
Patricia paused before answering, "I think it's Victor."
"What are you two whispering about?" I looked up to see Victor walking in.
"Nothing," Patricia replied. He stared her down then left the room. "Nina, now that we're friends I think that you should undergo you're initiation ceremony." (A/N in this story they really have one)
"Initiation ceremony?"
"Yeah."
Just then Fabian walked in. Even in cartoon form I couldn't help but marvel how amazing he was. "Hi Nina, hey Patricia."
"Hey Fabian," I replied then took a bite of toast.
"So, when is Nina going to take her initiation ceremony?"
"It starts today."
"Great," I told both of them.
People started trickling into the kitchen; Mara, Amber, Mick, Alfie, and Jerome in that order.
"So Nina, after you're done eating meet Jerome, Alfie, and I upstairs. Got it?"
"Yeah." Everyone finished their food, and once I was done I raced upstairs.
"Good you're here," Patricia said then continued, "You have to go up into the attic, and bring something back."
"Okay, I can do that."
"But you need the key, and you have to steal it. From Victor."
Then Jerome took over, "He has a keychain with ever key on it, but he keeps it with him at all times so you'll never get it. But, there is a cabinet with all of the spare keys, right over there on the wall," He pointed to a small, glass cabinet hanging on the wall.
"What are you kids doing?" asked Victor who had only just barely noticed our presence.
"We were just-"
"Admiring your coat. Is it vintage?" I asked interrupting Jerome.
"Just as I thought," Alfie said from the floor, "This could use a polish."
"Yes it could. Why don't you polish it Alfie?" He grabbed Alfie by the collar of his shirt, and dragged him downstairs.
I ran into Victor's office, and took the key from the cabinet, and ran back out before Victor got back.
"Lucky," Alfie said while Patricia and I smiled at my small victory.
"We'll see how lucky she is tonight."
"What was that?" I asked looking at the others.
They looked at each other trying to figure out who had said it, and stared back at me not knowing what it was.
The voice had come out of nowhere, it was sort of like Patricia's, but meaner, and crueler. It reminded me of how Patricia had talked to me when we'd first meet.
What could possibly be happening?
Hope you liked it! Sorry if it's kind of boring but I don't know what else to write to make it more exciting. Plz comment!
:D
