HHHIIIII! It's Ajluv! I already updated TTILAY, so I decided to update this as well! I really like writing this for some reason. Oh well. TO THE STORY!

Natalie smiled at the couple in front of her. Oh yeah, she was the love guru. "Fabian, what are you- NINA!" Startled, Natalie whipped around to see a girl with reddish brown hair, wearing skinny jeans and a huge, toothy smile. The two lovebirds in front of her broke apart, so Nina could hug the girl. "Patricia!" Natalie stored the name in her mind, for later.

"Where's Eddie?" Nina asked, her voice muffled. Patricia pulled away, and gestured to somewhere behind her. "Sliming around with his dad or something." She winced slightly, but faced Nina " Are you back for good then?" Nina smiled and looked back at an expectant Fabian, who was absentmindedly leaning forward. "Yes!" Nina glowed with happiness. "Good, now I a-AAHHH"

Patricia had turned, not expecting Natalie to be there. "Who are you, and why are you skulking around?" She asked, taking deep breaths. Natalie smoothed down her dress, and held out her hand. "Natalie Winters, new resident at Anubis House." Patricia brightened. "American?" She said, raising her eyebrows at her accent." We should start calling Anubis House, American house." Natalie smiled, time to show off her skills.

"Fine, keep the name, and I will talk in this accent" she said in a perfect British accent. Everyone raised their eyebrows. "Or would you prefer French" she said in the same perfect accent, enjoying their expressions. They opened their mouths, ready to comment, when two African-Americans ran across the lawn to the group.

"Hey" the girl said to Natalie, in an American accent. Hmmm, she could see what Patricia meant. The girl continued to the rest of the group " Trudy wants us all back at the house." Then the boy cut in " And she we couldn't eat until everyone was there. And guys, I am really hungry."

Then they converged on each other, while Natalie waited patiently, for them to notice her again. She didn't have to wait long, for after the cries of "Alfie! KT! And Nina!" had died down, and she had been introduced to everyone, they set off in the direction of the house.

Soon however, the sun glowed even more brightly, causing Nina to stop and take off her coat. While doing so however, the coat caught on a necklace she was wearing, and threw it to the ground. Natalie stared at the oddly shaped locket, it seemed like she was the only that saw it fall. She picked up, slightly falling behind. Nina noticed this and turning around saw Natalie with the necklace.

"Is this yours Nina?" Natalie asked. Nina's face dropped into a shocked expression, and she stopped in her tracks. " Guys" she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Look." Her friends turned at around, each staring, mouth wide at Natalie.

"What?" She asked, puzzled. She looked at the necklace, "oh, is it battery operated?" The necklace was glowing in her hands, a bright red color. Nina nodded nervously. " yeah, Er, double As." Natalie easily saw through the lie, but handed the necklace over, and started walking again, puzzled at Nina and her friends reactions.

When they reached the house, Natalie became impressed. The evening passed in a whirl of introductions. Natalie, being small, stayed out of the center of attention, and focused on the drama. By sitting in a corner, she was able to pick apart each and every couple drama. Apparently, Nina and Fabian had been together, and were still balancing on the fine line between friends and dates. Patricia was dating an American boy, that went by the name Eddie. "He is kinda cute" Natalie thought " but not my type". Apparently Alfie was dating a dramatic strawberry blonde named Willow. Nina had awkwardly smiled through that introduction! Also, it seemed that Nina and a girl named Joy were past rivals, because of the way they sorta hugged, but not really. She was dating a tall boy with big hair and icy eyes, that hadn't been introduced to her yet.

After concluding her research, and dinner, Natalie headed up to what was apparently her room. The Indian woman named Trudy had said, that she, Nina, and Patricia were sharing a room. KT and a girl named Mara that had been hardly introduced to her, would be sharing the second bedroom. " As for Willow and Joy" Trudy had said excitedly, "I have converted the attic into a bedroom!" It was a rather nice bedroom really, and Natalie felt the tiniest bit jealous, but her new room was still good.

That night, in her new bed Natalie drifted off to sleep easily. She could sleep anywhere as long as she wasn't disturbed. Unfortunately, that night she was.

"AAAAHHHHH!" The shriek flew through the night and into Natalie's ears. "Gah!" She said, sitting straight up in bed. " what was that!" Suddenly Patricia scrambled out of bed, heading toward the light switch,answering her question.

"Patricia?" Nina's voice asked, sleepily. "Red eyes, red eyes!" Patricia muttered back, throwing the light switch. "AAAHH" Natalie groaned, squinting her eyes. "Patricia?" Natalie asked, looking at the clearly terrified girl. Patricia raced over to the mirror atop the dresser and frantically peered in. No, red eyes, only blue." Patricia sighed in relief. "Good, now please turn that light off" Nina groaned. Patricia did so, and Natalie drifted off again.

Patricia left for school early that morning, leaving Nina to comment on the nightmare at breakfast. "She had a what?" Eddie asked, worried. "A nightmare" Nina confirmed. "About what?" He asked. "I don't know," she admitted. "She was yelling about red eyes. She even got up to check her eyes in the mirror." Natalie jumped in. Eddies face turned grim, and he got up, running out the door, presumably to Patricia. "What's the big deal?" Nina asked, puzzled. Natalie leaned in as well. Fabian, looked down into his bowl of cereal. " we'll tell you later." He finally muttered.
