Year one: Patricia Pov
So this year has gone by slow in the present, but looking back it feels like we just lost Nina yesterday.
Everyone has been depressed. I know Fabian has been cutting himself. It's a scary thought. We all had to wrestle him so he wouldn't kill himself. I still cannot believe how one girl's death has changed us all.
Amber cries constantly, bursting tears at even the slightest thing of anything Nina-related stuff. For example, every time someone sits where Nina did, she starts sobbing. Her and Fabian ditch school these days just to sit in the attic. Now to you, that's a little extreme. To us, it's a memorial for her. Mara and Mick, knowing nothing, find it crazy.
We've taken walks, talked about our inmost feelings, and we've all been locked in this invisible connection to each other. Many unspoken agreements have come and gone. Yet we can't help but hope.
Mick and Mara just gives us small sad smiles, tearing up the tiniest bit. It takes Sibnua all of our willpower not to yell at them, blurt the truth, or just tell them our crazy ideas.
Joy is like Mick and Mara, except she knows what happened. She treats Nina like a hero. I can tell too, that she can not but help but feel guilty. Either way, knowing nothing or knowing everything, she's cut off from us. She isn't the same.
During the prom, it was just to shocking to take in, so I acted like it wasn't important, plus there was hope back then. That's gone now. And now I can fully take it in, my careless manner is gone. But my darkness is in full blast.
Alfie seemed just like that night when it happened. Comforting, yet absolutely forlorn. It's hard without our pranksters. I can tell Mick and Mara are shocked that Jerome and Alfie are hurting. Sometimes I wonder what Mick and Mara think of Jerome and Alfie. Cold-hearted? Seems like it. But they aren't. Especially not Jerome. . .
Ah, Jerome. My Fabian, Mick, Alfie, Edward Cullen, whatever you get the point! We've been getting closer, he just asked me out two weeks ago. We've been on one amazing date, more to come. Still no kiss yet, and I cannot but help to deny I'm not falling hard.
We all plan to go visit our best friend, Hannah. Okay, sure, she's ten-actually eleven now- but man is she smart. I admire her, strong, and sees beyond the outside, thinks out of the box. She's going to be a great person, though she doesn't realize it.
She's sent us letters, emails, we've skyped. She actually was the main reason Fabian stopped cutting himself. She cares deeply for us. She told even told us that she didn't think Nina was kidnapped. Unfortunately we couldn't bring her more rage or sadness by telling her about Sibnua. Wow is she smart.
She told us that she started the music sessions, but it's still hard. So now Nate and Angela join her. She's so funny, and she told us so much, she made us open our eyes. But most of all she makes Fabian smile.
She told us about Nate too. I feel so happy for her, a wise person once said, "When you lose someone you love, that love is reborn," or something like that (avatar the last airbender fans! I'll be disappointed if you don't know what tht's from :'() For Hannah, it's Nate. Me is Jerome-or so I think.
Sometimes I can't help but wonder if we would all be better off dead.
Year Two: Jerome
Passion filled year. That's all I can say. After our first kiss, I couldn't detach myself from her. We have become Amber's new obsession. At least we don't have to deal with her tears-though they still come easily- but now we do have to deal with stalking and 'patrome'. Apparently that's Patricia and Jerome. Grrr.
Either way, I can still tell Patricia is hurting, heck even I am! So I try to make her feel better whenever I can. If kisses didn't work good, then I'd be screwed. She's just so enticing.
I still remember our first kiss, I don't know how I could forget it?
Flashback
It was one of the few rare sunny days in England. We had just started the school year so it was still warm out, and we couldn't pass up this opportunity. So we went to the public pool a few blocks away. We made sure to bring Fabian.
Eventually we were all having fun, but the girls refused to come in, so we got them in. Throwing each of them over our backs, Fabian actually smiling.
The girls twisted, kicked, screamed, threatened -Patricia mostly- and even begging. Finally we threw them in the water. Amber came up glaring and gasping. Mara came up splashing Mick.
Amber went over to Alfie and kicked him in the shin, when he started yelling, and hopping on one foot she simply pushed him down. Mick and I laughed. When Alfie came up he said, "Well, Jerome if you think it's so funny you'll probably be hysterical soon."
"And why is that Alfie?" I smirked.
"Because. . ." he looked at Mick, and they smiled.
Then they shouted, "RUN! Patricia's fury has been released!" I confused, turned around, and. . . was kicked in a horribly painful place, by my smirking girlfriend. When I doubled over in pain she pushed me down, then ran towards the chairs.
But I wasn't having that. I decided to get revenge. I swam quickly towards her, then grabbed her legs out from under her. Coming up I laughed.
When she came up though, she shook her hair, then started the ultimate splash war. Before we knew it clouds were coming in, and it was getting colder and colder by the second.
What made us notice, was the pouring rain about half a hour later. She paused and so did I. I took in her perplexed expression at the rain, confusion in her eyes, lips pouting, and completely soaking wet, with rain dripping down her face.
I couldn't resist, I brought her towards me, and kissed her full and hard on the lips. I felt her gasp, and I took the opportunity to let my tongue roam her mouth. Once she got over her shock she responded with such a passion, it almost knocked me off my feet.
We stood there, until I pulled back, whispering, "come on, your going to get sick."
She smirked at me, and was about to say something, when a certain blond interrupted.
"Eep!" Amber squealed. "PATROME! Finally! Does that mean no more secret dates?"
"Amber!" We both yelled.
"Well, soooorry."
End of flashback
Now as for the others. Mick and Mara have accepted our 'strange' behavior. Fabian has been drinking, now he's quitting just like last time. Also like last time we had to wrestle it out of him, and finally it took Hannah's words to stop him completely.
Speaking of her, she's been hurting bad still, more than us, and she's convinced herself that it's completely normal- which I hope it is- and that 'life goes on'. I feel so bad for her.
Thankfully Angela and Nate are there for her. Now onto Natah, Nannah, Hanate, whatever Amber calls Hannah and Nate's relationship. Hannah is completely past 'crush stage'. Apparently she fell even further for him when she saw him all dressed up at Angela's dance recital. Which was amazing, they recorded it. Much to Angela's dismay.
Joy is still after Fabian. Driving us all nuts. Fabian's stopped being polite, and now is just being plain hurtful.
Year three: Amber pov
Finally Patrome prevails!Strong as ever. Nannah is coming a little faster since their thirteen now.
Hmm, what else can I tell you people. . .?
Oh yeah! How could I forget! We graduated! Woo hoo! Hannah, Nate, Angela, and Gran, came over here. The boys pushed Nate and teased him. I felt bad. But maybe we'll get Nannah sooner! Huh? Sounds a lot like Fabina. Take us all out of our misery!
I saw Hannah crying, knowing that Nina should've been up there with us. Luckily Nate comforted her. My eyes narrowed at the sight, it wasn't a friend type of comfort, it was a boyfriend-I-feel-so-bad-for-my-girlfriend comfort.
I couldn't help, but go to the attic that night and cry too. I wasn't much to surprised to see Fabian there, considering that for us- us being the rest of Anubis house minus Fabian- the pain is numbing. But for him and Hannah, it's still pretty bad. Fabian just got done anti-depressants, again same as always. Wrestling and Hannah did the trick. Now he's tried-finally- Hannah's suggestion of the music sessions.
Finally Hannah's done that stupid therapy, and now is just doing music sessions.
Umm, Joy has a boyfriend, some kid I could care less about. They won't last long though.
Mickara and Amfie are doing good. Especially Aflie and I.
That's all. Onto year four!
Year 4: Mara
College has started, it's okay, hard and easy. All of Anubis house shares an apartment building, rented by Amber's parents.
I'm going to be a biologist, Mick is still aiming for sports, Jerome a teacher-surprisingly-, Patricia also a teacher- apparently they love Anubis house a lot-, Joy a nurse, Alfie is in business -he plans to have a prank shop-, Fabian a musician, and Amber a fashion designer- Hannah sometimes helps her too.
Mick and I still going out, were getting a little more serious. Same goes with Amber and Alfie, and Patricia and Jerome. Joy has been dating countless of guys. As for Hannah and Nate, there getting closer, more towards the point of going out. Even I can't help but squeal at that they would be amazing together!
I can tell Mick, Joy, and I are separating from the rest of them, but what can I do?
Well that's about it, Fabian and Hannah have just started recovering, and now we are going for our yearly visit.
Year 5: Hannah
Five years and counting. I can't believe I'm fifteen now. Soon to be sixteen. Soon to be six whole years surviving without Nina. Well now as for life goes. . .
Nate asked me out! OMG! I can't believe it! Amber already sent me our scrapbook, looking up on the internet for pictures of us -how she finds them, I don't really know, facebook maybe- and she has been pestering Angela. I feel so bad for her.
We've only had about ten dates-okay maybe not only, but you get the point- but now we are inseparable. It's amazing. He's amazing. No we have not kissed yet, but still. Amber says were perfect for each other.
I also love-yes I said love- Nate because he went through Nina's disappearance with me, so he understands. I've told him about my crazy theories, and he actually believes them, and he's told me to follow my heart. He said that he'll always be waiting for me as long as I want him there, so sweet! God I love him.
Academic wise, I'm getting straight As, I'm doing great with driving, I want to go to Harvard, and I want to become an author, maybe I'll tell my story one day. . .
All couples from Anubis house going great, Joy finally found someone good for her, his name is Taylor.
Apparently college is going fine. They all plan to go for four years, just like I would like to do one day. Fabian has really being throwing himself into his music- like I throw myself into my writing- and it's really helping him. So that's good. Patricia still wears Nina's necklace, she had asked me a few years back if I wanted it, but I said no because I have her whole room of memories.
Amber is just enjoying her clothing, also now she is planning some sort of magazine, and asking me to write in it. She said that I write so good. I don't think so, but hey, I do enjoy writing, and this is something different for me. When I finished she put it up in the university, and now it's a huge hit! So we've been going back and forth. Also I started writing my own little story. So who knows, my future is up in the air.
So who knows what else life will throw at us. . .
Year 6: Joy
So this girl has really been eyeballing Fabian. Her name is Tanya. She's pretty cute. Fiery red hair, and brilliant green eyes. But I just can't see those together, no matter how much they have in common- which is a lot.
And even though I have Taylor-whom I love- I cannot but feel jealous about this Tanya girl. Fabian hasn't notice yet, but maybe he will, after their little class duet. Fabian and Tanya's project is to sing a duet using at least one instrument. I've heard them practicing, there amazing.
As much as I hate to say it they would be good together. Oh Fabian, don't you know that a first love never dies, and that's why I can't choose a good boyfriend?
But as much as I want Fabian I can't help but want Taylor more.
Well enough about me. Couples are doing fine, especially Nannah. They've had their first kiss. (should I post a one-shot about this?)
All of us are doing fine, pretty much normal, Fabian and Hannah have reached the numb point so give them one more year. Also in one more year, we'll be graduating college, it seems like just yesterday we graduated highschool.
I've stopped hanging with the rest of Sibuna, as they call themselves, now I hang out with Taylor's friends.
Well that's about it!
Year Six: Fabian!
Okay, so I'm finally getting over Nina, with the help of Tanya. Yes were going out now. Hannah was really mad at me, she yelled at me, and then she ignored us for about six months. All of us were really upset. Hannah had asked me how I could betray Nina like this. How could I do it to her when she's still out there somewhere.
She still believes that. Well somewhere deep down so do I. Anyways then she exploded, and started swearing at me. Which is surprising considering she doesn't ever swear. After that I exploded and said that we've got to move on. How can she be upset with me being happy?
After a while the rest of them started butting in, and stopping us. But what scared me the most, and what depressed me the most was what she said at the end of that skype. Her voice still causes nightmares.
Short Flashback
Then her voice chillingly and bitter said, "How could you Fabian? You said you would never give up on her. Yet here you are. I thought I could trust you. Wow was I wrong. By the way thanks for asking how I was. You obviously don't care. Bye guys." There wasn't even a trace of tears in her eyes, just anger. And she exited without a second added to her last breath. I felt horrible.
End of flashback
I had never known how cruel she could've been. She only talked to us to write Amber's magazine. We were all feeling guilty for a while, but after what she said I couldn't bring myself to reply in anyway shape or form.
A few weeks we got a letter from Nate saying. . .
Dear Guys,
What's up? Hannah is totally upset. She's cut herself up from civilization. I'm just writing now, because last night Angela and I were intent on getting her out of the house when we found her. . .-insert sigh here- cutting herself. Of course we stopped her, but she won't talk to us.
It's like Nina all over again.
Anyways, Angela then left whispering to me that she'd be most likely to talk to me. So after getting a silent treatment for about ten minutes, I ran my hands threw my hair, and stared outside, begging her to tell me what happened.
She didn't, instead she lunged for the knife. But before she could go after it, I stopped her and wrestled her on the bed, keeping her hands above her head, legs strained down with mine, both of us panting heavily.
She had been tense for a while, then she started to sob.
She told me what happened, but I want to know your side too. So what the heck happened? Really I can't believe what this is about.
Yours Truly,
Nate
There were tear stains on that letter, and more after we were done reading it. Then we started to write our own. After about a month, we started getting emails, and letters again, but Hannah didn't skype. That made us all the more worried, but we couldn't do anything about. We knew she was having trouble trusting us again.
So everyone is going strong. And now to graduating!
Woo hoo! The gang came up again. We cried again. Hannah and I took a walk, we said sorry, and explained ourselves to each other.
Then I asked her about Nannah, she started blushing at that, but she was sixteen now, and I wanted to know.
When she told me that they were getting a little more serious day by day, my over protective brotherinstincts camein and I lectured her. She let me get it out, then started laughing at the end, assuring me nothing would happen.
Anyways, Jerome and Patricia are now teachers and the owners of Anubis House. They're on the look out for the next chosen one.
Amber's fashion line is all started. I play at clubs, with Tanya there with me. Yes we've kissed. Alfie's prank shop is going good too, Amber's dad is helping him. Mick signed a contract, Mara was sent to some place right away. Joy is still looking, but doing good otherwise. Taylor plumbing, so that's going good.
Yep, life's good, and I'm finally recovering for Nina's death, and so is Hannah.
Year Seven: Amber
Nothing really is new. Couples are doing fine. We still keep in contact with the gang in America. Alfie's prank shop is expanding, so is my fashion line. Hannah and I have turned our college magazine into a real magazine line. Fabian and Tanya signed a contract deal. Jerome and Patricia are doing fine at Anubis house. Well, that's all. Oh wait, I'm stupid.
Jerome and Patricia are engaged!
I wonder when it's my turn. . .
Year Eight: Patricia
So I'm married now. Patricia Clarke. It's a scary thought, yet it feels absolutely wonderful. It's not just Jerome and I who is married, all of Anubis is. Joy and Taylor. Amber and Alfie. Mara and Mick. And Fabian and Tanya.
Hannah, Nate, Angela, and Gran came up for the weddings, which were four days in a row. It was funny. So that's about it for this year.
Year Nine: Jerome
So life has settled down. Hannah, Nate, and Angela graduated high school it was amazing, they all looked wonderful. It was just like ours, except Americanized. Hannah got into Harvard, just like she wanted, even better, they all got into Harvard!
Hannah plans to be an author and a photographer. Nate plans to be a detective. And Angela wants to go on to be a dancer.
Now their first year of college is half way done. So far each got straight A's, but that's because they took AP classes, so they barely have to take their freshman year!
As for us, we're all fine, work going better and better by the day.
June Year Ten: Hannah
I can't get over Nina's disappearance. Not even after ten years. It's just. . . so unbelievable! Even though the Anubis gang our some of my best friends, I think they're holding something back. Why, I don't know. But this year I'm traveling to Great Britian and going back to where it all started. . .
A/n- PLEASE READ: I just realized something. I have no idea what will happen in the next ch. Well I do, yet I don't know all the tiny details. I have some ideas at least.
