Chapter 2 (Nina's POV)


Fabian and I walked back into the house, and everybody (excluding us, Amber, and Alfie) were still in the living room.

"I think I am going to take a nap. I'm not really in the mood to eat." I said, as I started to walk upstairs. Fabian nodded, and I headed upstairs. It was only about five o'clock, but I'm beat. I can hardly stand up straight.

I walk into my room, and flip the lights on. I can't remember anything in here. I look at my bed, and my belongings. I remember the stuff itself, but I don't remember decorating in here. My picture frames I swore were at home, on my white desk. And my pillows I swore were on my big, fluffy bed in America. This is all so difficult to understand.

I have some major amnesia. I remember everything but the House of Anubis and anything included in it. Yet, that's not true because I remember Fabian. My best friend. How do I still know that? I should have forgotten about him, since we met here. But I didn't.

I plop onto my bed, and close my eyes. I soon fall into a deep sleep, with my mind full of thoughts.


(Fabian's POV)

I was debating if I should tell the whole house about Nina. If I don't, they might sneak up on her like Alfie did. I don't even want to know what he did. I was thinking maybe he pranked her, since that's his specialty.

As Nina walked upstairs, I decided to tell them. I walk into the living room, where everybody was going something. But none of us could tell Victor, Vera, or any other adults here. They might take her away, or out of the school.

"Guys, can I tell you something, and you will promise not to tell any of the adults? It's about Nina." I ask, sitting down on the couch, next to Mick. Everybody was here that needed to hear, and Alfie was already getting the scoop from Amber.

Everybody stopped talking, and looked over at me. I almost never have something to say, so when I do, everybody listens. Being quiet sure has its advantages. I am naturally quiet, though. It's not on purpose. Nina is pretty quiet too, but way more outgoing and spirited. Well, before what happened. Now, she just seems confused at everything around her.

"Did Nina take revenge after you kissed Joy?" Patricia said, perking up. Who told her I kissed Joy? And it was a complete accident! I really thought she was Nina. She was wearing the same mask, and the same dress. I slightly blame Jerome for this. He sold them the same dress, and if he hadn't done that, this wouldn't have happened.

I bit my lip, and shook my head. Doesn't she know Nina better than that? She would never take revenge, would she? Nina is too sweet for that.

"No, and who told you I kissed Joy?" I asked her.

"Well, Joy. And Amber has been talking about it, too." Patricia said, smirking. I shouldn't be shocked at this. Joy and Patricia are best friends, so it's not surprising she told Patricia. And Amber is best known to spread things around. I should talk to her about that…

But now is not the time.

"Okay, Nina is, um, amnesiac."

Everybody looked at each other, and then back at me. Joy seemed to be a bit happy, and that made me mad. How could she be happy that Nina has amnesia? Joy tried to kiss me, so she must have a crush on me. And I am so close to Nina, she must think she forgot about me. Just thinking that Nina still remembers me makes me smile.

"So what exactly has she forgotten?" Jerome asked, suspiciously.

"Well, she has forgotten everything about the House of Anubis, including everyone in it, other than me."

Joy's face went from happy to pouty, making me feel a bit better. She shouldn't be happy. Joy has no reason to.

"We need to hide this from Victor and everyone. They might move her if we do." I said, and everybody nodded in agreement. Even Joy gave a small nod. I can only hope she keeps her promise this time around.

I got up, and headed upstairs. I wanted to make sure Nina was alright. The others watched, as I slowly reached her room. I could then hear them whispering, what I am sure is about Nina, or me.


(Nina's POV)

I heard the door open, but I keep my eyes closed. If you keep your eyes closed, and pretend to be asleep, you get to hear conversations you wouldn't be able to hear if you were awake. The door then closed again, and somebody sat on my bed. It was Fabian.

He moved my hair from my face, and started talking.

"I hope you remember soon, Nina. I'm so glad you remember me. I would be heartbroken if you forgot me. Do you remember anything about what we did together? We were always working on mysteries together. Last year, it was the Cup of Ankh. Now, it's the Mask of Anubis. I wonder…"

Fabian touched my arm, and moved it over. He gasped, and my eyes opened. He looked at me, with a surprised look on his face.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, and he looked over at me. He looked back at my arm, which had absolutely nothing wrong with it.

"You, you had a tattoo here, from the mystery. Where did it go?" Fabian asked me, and I shrugged.

"Try my other arm?" I asked hopefully, not even knowing about any tattoo. Did I get a tattoo? What made me do that? I moved my other arm, to see a tattoo that looked like a mask. Fabian looked so relieved. Did he have doubts about his memory? I am the one who was found at the side of the house.

I fingered it, and it glowed red. When I took my fingers off, it returned back to black ink. I am not the sort of person to ever get a tattoo. Maybe it was forced?

"It's nothing to worry about, for now. I'm sorry I woke you up. I better go." Fabian said, getting up. He walked back out of the room, before I could tell him to stay. I wish he would have stayed.

"It's 10 o'clock! And in five minutes precisely, I want to be able to hear a pin drop!" Somebody yelled from the hallway, and I looked over to Fabian. We were in the living room since supper ended. He smiled at me, and explained that it was time to go upstairs.

We both got off the couch, and Fabian kissed me on the cheek, shocking me a little. I smiled, and he smiled back.

"Sweet dreams, Nina." He said, and he walked to his room. I remember him saying that to me. I don't know when, but I remember those exact words.

"I remember that, those exact words." I said, starting to walk upstairs myself.

"That's because I tell you that almost every night." Fabian said, and he closed his door to his room. I ran up to mine, where Amber was already in her pajamas, sitting on her bed. She smiled at me, and waved. I went to my dresser to get pajamas, and had to search through several drawers to find them. I went into the bathroom, and changed.

After brushing my teeth, I went over to my bed. Amber watched me, as I slipped into bed.

"You can trust me, Nina. I-I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't know…" Amber started out, but I stopped her. I understood that she didn't know. It wasn't her fault.

It's not like she was the one who put me at the side of the house. Well… Did she? But she was talking to Fabian when I was still unconscious. Maybe she was with him when I was found. I should just trust her, but something tells me not to.

"It's alright, Amber. I just don't know you well enough." I said, and Amber sighed.

"But you do!" Amber said, coming over to sit on my bed.

But I don't. Does she not understand? I have no idea who Amber is. I just know that she is blonde, we were best friends, and Fabian said she is trustworthy.

"We used to do everything together. And one day, you'll remember. I just know it." Amber said, and she walked back over to her bed. She turned off her light, and I turned off mine.

Once the room gets quiet, I say "I hope I do too, Amber. And maybe, you could take me shopping tomorrow and we can talk a bit?"

I hear a squeal, which sounds familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.

"Oo! Yay! Shopping with Nins like good-old times! I better get to sleep before Victor starts getting angry." Amber said, and I closed my eyes. Maybe going shopping, and talking to Amber, will jog my memory.
