A/N: Thanks for who reviewed! 3 chapters to the end! Good reading! A part of this chapter was inspired on the episode scene where Senkhara talked to them through Nina's grandmother, so you may get an idea of what will happen.
Chapter 7 part one
House of plans/House of Rescue
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up,
With you all night,
Had I known
How to save a life.
Nobody's POV
After about half an hour of pure running, even without knowing to where they were going, they shockingly ended up in Anubis house.
"Now what?" Alfie asked.
"Now we need to find the potion that made Fabian sick." Nina answered, looking to somewhere behind them.
Everybody looked at her, kind of confused.
"Un, Nina, what's the point if he's all better?"
"Then why are his eyes turning red again?" Nina asked, pointing to Fabian.
She was right and he started to come on their direction. When he got really close, he stopped.
"Do you think that I'm an idiot kids?" Fabian asked, except it was with Senkhara's voice.
Nobody answered, so he kept talking:
"If it was easy to get rid of Isis potion, I wouldn't have become what I'm now!"
"Then how we take it off?" Nina asked.
He let out the creepiest laugh ever, and kept talking.
"Do you really think I'm going to tell you? HUAHAUHAUAH" He turned serious "You have two days to give up or you friends will all pay. Including this boy." He said, pointing to himself.
He gave a final laugh and fell to the ground, passing out.
One hour later...
The Sibuna gang managed to get inside the House unnoticed, what wasn't very difficult to do, since the only persons left on Anubis House were Vera and Trudy, and Vera was nowhere to be seen.
The gang managed to drag Fabian to the attic, then they got the things from the girl's bedrooms, like pillows, blankets and everything else, and Nina opened a secret passage on the attic, where they were now.
"Two days?" Fabian exclaimed after Amber told him what happened, while Nina wrapped his injured arm. He was laid down with his head on one pillow and covered with blankets.
"How are we supposed to do this in two days?" He asked.
Nina that finished wrapping his arm sat up and answered:
"I don´t know..." They all stayed silent, hearing the cold window of night. Hit against the window of their new hidden place.
Amber's POV
"I think I know how we can do this!" I exclaimed and they all stared at me, waiting for me to say something else.
"So, Fabian was "cursed" with a potion, right? Well, we can search downstairs at the cellar for the book that contains the potion, and see if we can heal you Fabs."
Everybody but Nina gave a deep breath. It wasn't what they wanted to know, but a smart thing coming from Amber? How often would that happen?
"Good Idea Amber!" Nina said, standing up.
"Where are you going?" Asked Alfie, that was sit next to Amber and Patricia.
"To find the cure to Fabian's "Curse", of course!"
"No! Nina, wait" Fabian said, trying to stand up, but he was still weak from the recent events and his injured arm didn't help much.
"You stay here."Nina said, pushing him back down. "I can't risk losing you again." She said, whispering now, so only he could hear, and got closer to the door.
"But I..." He stopped. "Ok, but Nina..." He said, as she opened the secret passage.
"Be careful" She nodded.
"I will." She said, closing the passage behind her.
Nina's POV
I sneaked very quietly through the house. I didn't see Vera, but I figured that she should be on the tunnels, figuring a way to get the mask. And Trudy should be sleeping by now.
When I got to the cellar, I gave a quick look around, and I found a thing that caught my attention:
An open book, which was floating right next to bottle with a pink liquid inside. The same liquid Senkhara gave Fabian a few hours ago.
The book was open on a page, and was written potion of Isis. It had a very weird ingredient list, but the cure wasn't written. Instead there was a riddle, which said: "To the Isis potion to end, a little time you'll have to spend. In case of time is over to solve, it will be over with demonstration of love."
Immediately, I got the book, but when I did, the potion fell, making a loud noise, almost as if someone throws a rock on a window.
"WHO"S THERE?" I heard Vera asking inside the tunnels. The voice was getting close by the moment.
I didn't think twice: turned the lights off and ran as fast as I could to the Attic.
Fabian's POV
I heard something or someone coming running straight on the hiding place's direction. The other ones were sleeping, so I didn't bother on asking them to be quiet.
Suddenly, the passage opened revealing Nina, that tripped on Amber and Alfie.
"AAHHHHHHH!" I heard Amber screaming and Nina put a hand on her mouth, making a signal so everybody would be quiet. We were confused, but we obeyed.
"Who's there?" I heard Vera asking from outside and I froze. If she finds out about us, she'll call Victor and Victor= Senkhara.
We just remained silent, until the footsteps started fading away and the Attic's door closing.
"Did you find something?" I finally asked, when Nina let go of Amber and laid down by my side. (We couldn't risk going downstairs, so Nina and I were sleeping on the same blanket, as well as Alfie and Amber. Patricia was next to us, but had a blanked for herself, since no one wanted to share it with her.)
"Yeah! But it doesn't really say what we have to do. It gives us a new riddle."
"And what does it say?" Amber said, yawning.
That was when I started to feel tired myself and answered.
Tomorrow. For now, let's get some sleep.
Everybody nodded. We were too tired to discuss after all.
She lay down and covered herself with our blanked, turning her face away from mine.
"Goodnight Fabs." She said yawning.
"Goodnight Nina." I answered, and we slept, hopefully for pleasant dreams.
Chapter 7 part 2
The sunlight emerging from the window woke Nina up. She rubbed her eyes with her arm, and felt someone hugging her. She turned around very slowly and smiled. It was Fabian.
"Morning" She said, when he opened his eyes.
"Morning" He answered back, smiling.
Nina leaned over his face and when their lips were almost touching each other...
"AWWWW! That is SO cute!" Amber said, sitting up right next to Alfie. They were holding hands and he was laughing.
"What?" Nina sat up immediately and hit her head on one box that was over a table they were lying next to.
"OUCH! Amber, look what you made me do! I..."
"Find it..."
"What?" She asked.
"Find it and use it against Senkhara!"
"What what?" Fabian asked, looking into Nina's eyes.
"What did you just say?" She asked
"I asked what you are asking me" He said, now looking extremely confused.
"Not that, the thing before that"
"Get the box and capture Senkhara..."
"I didn't say anything." Fabian answered, now looking concerned, but Nina wasn't paying attention on him anymore.
"Where do I get the box?" She asked, and now everybody was looking, kind of confused at her.
"What are you talking about, Nina?" Patricia, that now had woke up as well asked.
Before Nina had a chance to answer, Victor's father appeared in front of them. He was holding a small box, full of Egyptian inscriptions, and a red button on top.
"Take it chosen one, take it and get Senkhara FOREVER!" He said, handling the box to Nina, and disappearing.
"Ok, now that was very creepy!" Alfie said, hiding under the blanket.
"So, what do we do now?" Fabian asked, pointing to the box." Nina smiled.
"I got a plan"
"I hope this time it'll work!" Alfie complained. Fabian gave him a death glare.
Nina looked at him and smiled.
"Don't worry, it will."
