OMA! I'm like SO sorry I haven't updated enough! I know I promised one of my writer friends that I would, and I'm going to try to keep that promise. The thing that got in the way was that I got sick, the begining of the chapter sucked(ya know like those cheezzy fanfictions), we had to clean my room and reareange it(gosh I'm not even going to go there, lol:) ), And then I had my birthday, and yeah. I'm REALLY sorry:) lol, let's just leave it at that. Oh, and I also have a youtube account, HHAluver(HHA meaning Het Huis Anubis, the Ducth version of House of Anubis :) ), and I'll have some vids. up soon!:)

(Nina's POV)

I'm FREAKING OUT right now, like REALLY badly! Some stranger is pointing a gun at me! I looked at were Fabian was standing, but now, he was charging at the guy holding the gun. This was my only chance. I ran for it. I dashed up the stairs, through the door, up another flight of stairs, through the attic the into the secret door.

Now I'm safe, but what about everyone else? What if he hurt Amber, or Fabian? As I was rambling on, I noticed I wasn't alone. Jenna! She's here! "Jenna, what's going on! What does he want from us?" I asked her. "He wants to keep the secret thing ongoing, meaning, he will do anything, including kill, to keep it alive." she said quickly. "But why? Why does he have to keep the secret ongoing." "Ongoing? Ongoing? Why would he want to keep some stupid secret ongoing?"

Just as she was about to answer, someone opened the attic door...cccrrrreeeeeeaaaaaakkkkk. "Nina, are you in here?" "Niiiinaaaa?". It's Amber and Fabian! In quickly jumped up and opened the secret panel, then ran to them. "Nina!" Amber said. "Okay, no time to waist, Victor's got the police comming, but there's traffic apparently, so we're technically on our own for a little bit. We need to hide somewhere better than this," Fabian said pointing to the panel. "If that can't hold Victor, it won't hold whatever his name is." "What is we hide in the stair way of the secret door in the kitchen?" I asked. "Okay you guys, I really don't care were we hide, just as long as we hide somewhere." Amber said quickly. "Amber's right, we need to hide now. C'mon." I said going to the attic door and racing down the stairs, Amber and Fabian trailing behind.

As we got to the top of the stairs, I looked over just to be sure he wasn't anywhere where he could see us. To our luck, he was trashing Jerome and Alfie's room. We walked down the stairs quietly, and then ran into the kitchen, where I opened the panel and we climbed to the middle of the stairs.

"Okay, we're safe for now." I said, breathing out a quick sigh. "Yeah for now Nina. What if he comes looking own in the cellar, and finds the secret door to get out of the cellar?" Amber asked. "Look guys, he won't find the door, and if he does, then we'll just get out okay? And by that time, the police should be here." Fabian said calmly, yet kind of scared.

We heared footsteps in the cellar, and held our breaths. They got closer, closer, the there was a knock on the door, and a familiar voice. "Nina, Amber, Fabian?" "Alfie!" Amber said happily. "Amber!" Me and Fabian shushed her. "Sorry." she mouthed. She walked over us and to the secret door. She slowly opened the door a crack, just to make sure it wasn't a trap. When she saw that it was only Alfie and Jerome in the darkend cellar, she let them into the hiding place.

"Seriously, when're the cops gonna get here? Does it really take that long?" Jerome asked. "They should be here any minnute." Fabian said. "Jeeze. They can't just leave some murder scene?" Alfie asked dumbly. Amber just held her head down and nodded no.

Just then, footsteps. In the cellar. Getting closer. We all held our breaths and squeezed our eyes closed. The door to the hiding spot opened slowly, and then a voice said: "Guys, I've been looking everywhere for you." Patricia then climbed into the, already crowded, hiding spot. "Patricia, how are Mara and Mick?" I asked, worried they might be hurt. "They're fine, hiding under there beds. If we weren't in danger, I'd laugh at the-" "Oh how I'd love to see Mickm hiding under his bed." Jerome interupted, laughing at his joke.

More footsteps, and we did what'd we done before. We're all here, so we knew what was coming. I slowly inched backwards toward the top of the stepsto the kitchen, then tapped Amber on the shoulder. She turned around, and I motioned for her to tell the others. She nodded, and got everyone to come with. I made a sshhhsss sign with my hand and opened the door, hoping that he wouldn't hear it.

We were at the point were Alfie, Jerome and Patricia were getting out when our cover was blown. "There you are!" the man in black yelled as he lunged for Patricia. "AH!" Patricia, Alfie and jerome all screamed. We rarely ever heard Patricia scream. Like ever. Jerome and ALfie quickly escaped the small tunnel, but the man lunged again and, thankfully, missed Patricia, again, wich gave her more time to get out. We escaped to the living room and hid behind the couch, knowing that it was a terrible hiding place, but was better than nothing.

"How much longer do think it will be till they get here?" Patricia asked, getting annoyed. "Yeah, I'm beggining to get hungry." Alfie wined. "Here, just eat this." Amber said, quietly handing Alfie a small pack of two crackers. "Oh thank you so much Ambs!" Alfie said quietly, terring open the small parcel carefully, trying not to make a sound.

Then, there were footsteps. Well, not footsteps actually, it was more like windy stuff and coldness. But either way, we all stoped, Alfie even stoped stuffing his face with the two crackers Amber gave him, wow. Alfie stoped craming food into his mouth...that's a first...

It got colder, and colder until I was shivering mad. Until Fabian saw, and mouthed 'It's okay', and that actually stoped the shivers in their tracks, like we all were. Then I noticed the had just stoped blowing, and there before us was...

Lol, cliff hanger? Not? IDK what do you think so far? I know, I sound like one of those new(No offence, usually the stories are, like, really awesome!) authors. Anyways, sorry it was short, I know it took me a while to right the chapter, and for like the ba-gili-anth time, I'm sorry:) Review? lol, had to say that!:)
