OKAY, next chapter:) enjoy:

"What do you mean 'set up'?" Amber asked shakily. The seven others mouths were agate.

"I-I'm not so sure," Nina answered.

The eight of them sat in a cluster on the floor. Nina had started telling them about the suspicious woman, who introduced her self to Nina.

"Her name was Evalynn Duke, something like that, she told me we were chosen, the eight of us," Nina continued, "and that Anubis house, and the treasure, and joy, and Sarah, were all just some, test,"

"Joy? A test! That's not possible," Patricia almost shouted. Patricia was notorious for her ability to overreact about anything that had to do with Joy

"I- I'm not sure, its just what she told me," Nina said. Her chest felt heavy, "This is all just so confusing, I don't know,"

"So she's saying we all were chosen, for some reason, and going to school and living in Anubis House was just to test us?" Fabian asked going over the situation.

Nina nodded.

"Wait, who is it that chose us?" Jerome asked.

"I don't know, some organization..." Nina answered thought fully.

"An organization, that set up a fake school with students, and teachers, and everything, to see if we were the right ones?" Fabian asked.

"I suppose," Nina said, "I don't think anything has changed about Victor though, I think he's still apart of it,"

"I guess that makes sense from what you said he said to you in the attic, and he was the one who shot Fabian," Jerome said.

"Why were we chosen though?" Alfie said sounding confused.

Nina shrugged, "I haven't been able to think of a good reason,"

"I can't believe this," Amber said pulling her knees up to her chest.

"Me either," Mara said leaning towards Mick. He put a comforting arm around her frame. Jerome, though he tried to hide it, had jealousy plastered on his face. He hadn't quite gotten over her yet.

Fabian grabbed the folder again flipping through, the plane tickets again. He got to the back and came across another envelope, "What's this?"

Nina leaned, looking over his shoulder as he opened it. Inside were an ATM card, and a letter.

"What is it," Jerome asked.

"It's a charge card," Nina said examining it.

"And this," Fabian said, then he read aloud, "'Kings Cross Station by the thirteenth. Remember we're watching you. This is just the beginning.' What does this mean?"

"The woman, Duke, she told me to be in London a week from today," Nina said, shaky again, "She said or else... She had a gun,"

Fabian saw the look on her face, and put an arm around her shoulder, rubbing her back,"Its okay Nines," he cooed.

"That explains the tickets, and I would think the card is for us to pay for things for a week," Mara said.

"We should be getting out of here then, yea?" Mick asked.

They nodded in unison, and stood up.

"What way do we go?" Mara asked.

"I-I don't know..." Nina answered.

"Let's go-" Fabian started, but was cut off when the floor gave in and the eight of them were falling down a chute.

"Ahhhhh!" was the unison sound made by the eight of them. It was pitch black in the tunnel, and they seemed to be falling straight down. The chute finally opened up to the outside bright light blinding them. The group fell with a thud into a dumpster full of garbage.

"Owww," Nina groaned sitting up, she noticed she was holding on for dear life to Fabian. She blushed.

He was holding her as well, "are you alright?" he asked.

"f-fine," she said letting go of him, she noticed him blushing as well, and him nursing his shoulder, "is your arm okay?"

"Yeah," he said, it seemed he was lying.

"Eww!" Amber whined, realizing what she was sitting in.

Alfie sat up and looked up and around, "Where are we?"

"A dumpster, gross," Patricia said with a disgusted face.

"I meant a dumpster where?"

Nina stood up, wobbling as she tried to get to the edge. She swung her leg over, and dropped down out of the dumpster. She tried to pull her shirt tighter around her frame; it was cold, and seemed to be early morning, about seven. They all were still in pajamas. Nina walked down the ally, followed by Fabian. They peered out into the street, to see four lanes filled with buses, taxis, and cars, traffic backed up, not even moving. Nina looked up at the buildings around her, gigantic skyscrapers. Lots of signs advertising things from Pepsi to Broadway shows were on the buildings. Down the street were hundreds of people shoving through each other that included a naked cowboy on the corner. It was a roaring city, Nina had only ever been to one place just like it before.

"Where are we?" Amber asked as the rest joined Nina and Fabian.

Nina looked at her, "I think, it's New York," she said wide eyed.
