More mystery! (But still some drama…)

Chapter 5- Safe for Now

Nina's POV

Fabian had bailed out of going to the Egyptian Exhibit movie and has web-walking like a pro.

"What now?" he asked holding up one of the little spiders. Alfie had dropped the big one revealing its 'daughters.'

"Hang them up I guess," I shrugged and carefully placed mine on. Fabian and Patricia did the same and the door opened up.

Quickly I darted through ignoring Fabian's shouts. Once I was through the door closed and bright red angry eyes flashed brightly.

There was a hideous face and I pounded on the door relentlessly.

"Help! Help me Fabian please!" I pleaded crying. Then the door slid open and Fabian was there to hold me.

All the ribbons had disappeared and my friends gathered around us. After I'd calmed down we made our way into the next room.

The thing I'd originally thought was some horrible creature was instead some kind of giant metal medusa-looking structure with little vials on the end of a couple of her snake heads.

Surrounding us were loads of bottled up, multicolored bottles filled with mysterious substances. I grabbed one and took a little whiff of the closet.

Christmas, I thought.

"Look at these," Fabian commented pointing to the words around the room.

He took out his phone and began talking pictures. "Got them," he announced and I smiled gratefully.

We were finally getting somewhere! "Okay, we'll work on them tomorrow. Let's go," I told everyone and they sighed relieved.

They all filed out except Fabian who stayed back with me. "Do you want to go see that movie? We never got to," Fabian pointed out smiling.

I nodded smiling and we continued talking until we'd reached my door.

"Goodnight Nina," Fabian whispered.

"Night Fabian," I replied and gave him an unexpected hug.

"Thanks for everything, you're the best," I told him and then left him stranded alone in the empty hallway.

I wish I could tell him how much I cared about him, how I'd never wanted to break up in the first place I thought that was what he wanted.

Love sucks.

Aiden's POV

I pretended to be asleep when I heard Nina and Amber leaving and talking to Patricia.

I decided to follow them from a safe distance. When they reached the kitchen I hung back and listened intensely.

"We all know what to do right?" Nina asked double-checking. A chorus of yeses sounded and she asked yet another question. "Sibuna?"

"Sibuna," they replied in union.

What in the heck in Sibuna? I wondered and waited another second but no sound.

Peering around the corner I saw that they had all disappeared. What the-?

Not knowing what else to do I crept back to my room and pulled out my dad's journal once more maybe he'd written something about secret passages.

I flipped through the pages till I found something useful.

Jerome has found a passage to the basement where he says the ankh pieces along with the elixir is hidden. For his sake he better be telling the truth… The passage way was in the kitchen through the dark gray oven. That girl's necklace opens it. I drank almost all the elixir and Jerome betrayed me, next time he's alone

"Huh, so Nina's necklace opens the oh-so-secret passage does it? Maybe it's time to get my hands dirty," I mused aloud grinning evilly as I closed the journal, placed it in my drawer, locked it, and strung the key unto my necklace.

There, no one will ever get to it, my secrets all safe and sound resting in peace undisturbed for now…

I really need some advice for the next chapter okay? Tell me what you want to happen and what you want to find out about! PLEASE! R&R!
