Chapter 4: House of Sibuna Part 1
Fabian pov
I groan" we been walking for almost an hour" it's been almost another 20 minutes since we got to town. we been walking around looking for a fitting shop –well Nina, I been looking for café. I haven't ate breakfast and I am starving but every time I ask Nina about food she keeps saying 'after we get are uniforms' but if I don't eat soon I am pretty sure I might faint.
"Fabian, stop being dramatic we almost there, it's in the middle of town" I groan loudly at her words
"Nina that's an hour from the entrance of the town, That's another half an hour!" she just rolled her eyes, " I promise we get something to eat after, you could buy and eat as much as you want" I sighed
"how could you not be hungry?, you didn't eat breakfast either" I was actually curious, it's a lot of stuff me and Nina have in common. mostly dealing with food, and that was something we had in common. We both didn't like the taste of maple or the flavor for that matter.
"I am not hungry because I could put away my needs for food for something more in important" she said giving a pointed look, but I could she was trying to suppress a smile. I just rolled my eyes and nudged her with my shoulder, making her giggle.
"so what do you think about this place, I mean I never went to town when we were at anubis but is it much different"
"definitely" I said while looking around. This place looked like no one has actually remodel this place for some years. it's still had some closed up stores when you first enter but once you kept walking, you would find some more stores. even though it didn't look like the town around anubis, it did have a home feeling towards it." this place seem to be really old, like nothing has change that much, in the town around anubis you would see so many people and they had hundreds of store"
"kinda like this" she question with a raised eyebrow. I looked around, I notice we finally got to the middle of the town. As I look around it was really crowded, and it was like each store was connected and people were going in and out. I turned towards Nina and gave her a sheepish smile.
"yeah, exactly like this" she smile, took my hands and started dragging me towards a store, before she pulled me in I took a quickly looked at the sign, I sighed in relief. After this we be getting something to eat, finally I thought.
After an 20 minute wait of a lady name meka measuring both me and Nina, we started to look for a café to eat at. We only had a total of 20 minutes to eat before we had to head back to the fitting shop to get are uniforms.
"So you happy now?" Nina asked as we took are sits.
"yup" I said popping the P making her laugh at my childish behavior. Soon after a waitress came and took are order of 2 milk shakes, 2 burgers with a large tray of fries to share.
"a tolly shake is so much better' I looked up at Nina with a raised eyebrow, she was looking at the shake with a face of disgust.
"What's a tolly? and what wrong with the milkshake?" I asked, taking offense of her talking about the chocolatey goodness there is of a milkshake.
She laughed " there's nothing wrong with the milkshake, its just that a tolly is better" I raised my eyebrow at her for the fifth time this day, she just sighed " a tolly is something like a milkshake but made with homemade ice cream and actual Hershey chocolate melting into the ice cream while there serving it than they add chocolate chips with bits of cherries" I think over with what she just said.
"So a chocolate shake but with chocolate chips and cherries" I sniggered at the way Nina face dropped. I laughed harder as she kick my leg under the table."Hey,don't hit me because I pointed out a tolly is basically a shake but-"
"-made with a little more love" she finished, I scoffed
"no!" I said, trying to defend the goodness of a UK milkshake" are milkshake as made with a extra love" she laughed
"maybe but their not as good as a American one" I scoffed, mocking hurt
"don't you dare insult my one true love" I said, I said rubbing my hand against my milkshake. She laughed harder at my comment while shaking her head
"I feel so sorry for that milkshake to have to be stuck with you" I scoff, placing my hand over my heart
"Than I be definity inviting you to the wedding, we see how great I am when she say her vows" just I was saying this, she was drinking her milkshake. she end up spitting it out from laughing and the way she looked made me joined her.
"That's...The..dumbest...thing...you...ever said" she said still laughing and cleaning up the mess she made from the milkshake. I smiled and started helping her clean up,but I couldn't get the thought that she looked so cute when she did it.
After we clean up the table and Nina went to the bathroom to clean up, we paid for are food and said sorry for the mess we made but the waitress just shrugged it off and told us we were a cute couple, which made both me and Nina blush but she just wink and sent us on are merry way. On are way back towards the fitting shop both me and Nina was still red so when we got there meka notice and asked about it, which just made us blush even more. so that was the reason why we were stood waiting for meka to get are uniforms with a bright red faces.
"okay, here we are' meka said coming from the back room with a uniforms in her hand, she handed me 2 black pair of pants, a white button up, a dark blue shirt with the school logo and a dark blue blazer. She also handed Nina her uniforms but she had a dark blue skirt and a black skirt, a light blue button up and a dark blue button up with a dark blue blazer.
"The school has paid for your uniforms since you were just recently moved here and..oh before I forget here' she said handing both me and Nina a dark blue tie.
"Thank you for your help, we hope to see you soon" Nina called out behind her as we walk out the door. I shook my head, looking at my uniform from inside a bag, marked meka shop.
"what?" Nina asked as she peeked at my uniform
"it's just we have to wear a tie again and on top of that, are whole uniform is based on the color blue" She laughed at my response
" I thought dark blue was your favorite color"
" it is but I consider myself as a bright person and this uniform is bring me down"I said pouting for an extra affect, trying to make her laugh. It worked since she playfully hit my shoulder and tugged me to tell me to pick up the pace. I rolled my eyes, knowing what her plan for the rest of the day was.
" exploring the town?" I questioned, she just smiled and started running down the sidewalk, having to quickly move out of the way so she doesn't run into anybody. I yelled for her to wait up fshe just gave me a wave. I shook my head at her childish behavior but ran after her anyway, only stopping to check the time.
2:35
"You're a pretty fast runner you know that?"Fabian asked Nina, trying to catch his breath, taking a sit on the ground hoping it would help get his breathing back to normal quicker.
"I was on track at my old school" she said also trying to catch her breath, but you could also hear the pride in the voice from actually be able to run that fast without stopping once and very impressed that Fabian actually caught up to her. The friendly game of chase turned into a game of cat and mouse that had adrenaline pumping through both of them. They were both having to much fun that they didn't even realized that they had somewhat crossed into a banned part of town.
Once Fabian could breathe properly, he finally looked at his surroundings.
"where are we?" the question had Nina looking at him than at the boarded up shops and the open field and the woods that surrounded them. It looked like another small part of the town but you could that this part was much older and that nobody probably been here for years.
"I don't know, lets look around see if we could find are way back" Fabian nodded but was much interested in the writing that were engraved into one of the shops.
"Nina look' he waved Nina over to him, as he took a closer look at the writing he knew exactly where he seen it at. Nina also took a look at it as Fabian pulled out his phone and took a picture.
"The writing is everywhere" she said running her hand over the writing on the side of another shop nearby.
" I think we just founded another clue for the mystery or another piece" Nina looked over at Fabian, rushing over towards him to see what he was talking about. There were a part of the writing glowing.
Fabian started to read it aloud "The first clue you want, you have, pay attention and the mystery will soon belong to you"
"That means?"
"I don't know but look there's more" she said pointing at the building behind them
"The key you need is around you" as Nina read it aloud Fabian moved towards another side of another shop that was also had the glowing words
"It's only revealed to those who are looking"
"if you're looking you were chosen" Nina finished as she read the line from another building
"The only warning given" read from flower shop window
"Is this is going to be long and hard, put in work and never quit"
"and the prize will be your to be given"
"the war has been long but haven't ended"
"but once you enter you have chosen your side of good and evil" Nina read the last one on a door of someone home. As she read it, Fabian came to stand by her.
"Go in?" He questioned, not knowing if she want to do it now or later
"no not yet, I think we should get sibuna involved first- just in case something happens" Fabian nodded, agreeing that it would be safer if they didn't do this alone.
"we should be heading back, we still have other supplies to get" He suggested after looking at the time, agreeing to come back another time they started their way back.
At the house of Oahu
As all fourteen kids sat around the living room, the ending credits to The Hungry Games rolled, mara and poppy sat up and took a look around the room. Mara thought the movie worked for everyone getting together as she smiled at Eddie talking to Jordan and it looked like joy was hitting it off with Noah. As her eyes roam the room, she saw amber,Kt and willow talking and so was Mick and Jerome was talking with maila, than her eyes hit Alfie, Patricia talking with poppy. she didn't know if this would end well since Patricia was still in a mood about moving. So she decided that she would end it before anything got out of hand.
"okay guys I think maybe we should go into town now" she said gaining everybody attention.
"Or we could stay here and watch another movie" maila suggested before anyone could get up, she didn't want to leave she was having a good time talking with Mick and Jerome.
"we can't, we have to get are stuff for school" mara replied with disappoint leaking from her voice, she wish they could was getting along great but they still had things to do.
"Are uniforms are not that different from yours, you could just wear the white button up and the skirt since it already black, only thing you need is a blazer but good thing we don't have to wear it Than you could just get your real uniforms at the end of the week and for your supplies you could get vine to get them tomorrow while we at school, I pretty sure all you would need tomorrow is a few pens and notebooks" kt explained, she was also enjoy talking to amber, she thought that the tips amber was giving her on the hair were useful.
"And about are books"
"you could always go to the headmaster officer and buy them, they might be a paper copy instead of the hard copy but you could also go to town at the end of the week and get the real textbooks" as willow finished, everyone was giving mara a pleading look.
"okay but this time we should watch 'The Last Song'" everyone nodded,only because they knew they would probably talk through the whole thing anyway.
Fabina and Nina
As they walked the streets of the town both Fabian and Nina was exhausted, they have been to almost half of the stores in town and buying much more than they intended to and on top of that one of the lines from the banned part of town stuck out to them. The key you need is around you, it's only revealed to those who are looking
Once they got back to town, they understood what that part meant. Pretty much wherever they turned they came across some of the same writing that was in the book. They now had no doubt that the town was related to the mystery some how and they couldn't wait to figure out the secrets that lay behind the town.
As they finally came to the exit of the town with 4 bags in each hand, they knew they couldn't walk back especially since it was dark and late they instead called a cab to dropped them home- something that Fabian agreed they should have done on the way here. There half an hour trip turned into a 15 minute ride back, which they're grateful for because they knew that looking at the time that everyone would probably would be eating dinner.
As Fabian paid the driver, they enter the Oahu house hearing chatter fill the house made a smile grace their face, they were glad that mara plan for everyone to get along had worked. They both headed for theirs rooms to put their stuff down than headed into the dining area for dinner.
As they entered mara than asked question after question, being worry that her friends were out so late."Where were you two? what were you two doing that made you come home at almost 7:30? What did you get that took up all your time today? you guys were suppose to be back so you guys could also get to know everybody" both Fabian and Nina didn't know how to answer since she went from being worried to giving them a stern look.
"um..we were shopping...time got away from us,sorry?" it came out as more of a question, Nina didn't know if she had anything to be sorry about but she didn't need a mad mara on her case. but lucky just pushed it off and started introducing them to the people they were be living with.
"This is maila" mara started pointing to a girl with black hair pasting her shoulder in soft waves with black eyes to match."This is Jordan and Noah" she said pointing to the two boys that sat next to her. Jordan had brown hair and even lighter brown eyes to match, while Noah was the totally opposed. He had hair almost like Jerome but with black starting at the roots and become lighter at the tip. He had forest green eyes that seem to be staring at Nina but the only person who notice was kt, who just hit him on the head to get him out his daze.
"I am Kt and this is willow" kt spoke up, sticking her hand out to Nina to shake"Nice to meet you, we heard a lot about you two" both Nina and Fabian shook her hand than took there sits.
"All good I hope" Nina said smiling, she was already getting a good vibe from kt.
"yeah, from both your old school and from your friends" she replied with a smile
"old school?" Nina asked
"well yeah, my uncle is the principle and he known for a while so when he heard you guys were coming, he asked about the students and who were the troublemakers or students to keep an eye on"
"so what did he say about us" Nina wanted to know because she knew that her and Fabian weren't always focus on school and because they were always doing something.
"nothing bad, he said that you guys were one of their top students and always curious" she said carefree, she wasn't really paying a attention when her uncle and his friend was talking. It was mostly about school and ideas and whatever else adults talk about.
Nina nodded and just finished eating her food while everyone else talked, she thinking about the mystery as one line stuck out to her, The first clue you want, you have. but she couldn't figure out what the first clue could be, what clue did they have...the key you need is around you...the first clue you want, you have...you want, you have...the key yo-her eyes widen.
The keys.
She turned towards Fabian seeing as he was in deep thought, she had to shake him to get his attention.
"huh?" fabian seeing as he was just broken out of thought about the first clue.
"We need to have a sibuna meeting right now, I think we I figured out the first clue" Fabian nodded, as he looked over at amber and Patricia he noticed everyone was cleaning up. So he took his plate into the kitchen going over to alfie, and tapping him
"sibuna meeting in the girls room" he said low enough so only he heard. Alfie nodded and made his way towards amber and Patricia to tell them. Fabian hurried in put his plate in the sink and ran up to his room, grabbing the books, the set of keys and the folder from his wardrobe and made his way to nina room.
As he enter he saw that everyone was here, so he close the door behind and took a seat by Nina. So for the next 10 minutes she explained to amber,Patricia and Alfie about the everything that they knew about the mystery.
"okay, so what's the first clue?" amber asked still confused about the mystery
"We haven't got it yet, but I think I found what it is" she said grabbing the set of keys from Fabian and showing the rest of the group
" I think whatever these keys go to is where we find a first clue"
"okay but where does those keys go to" Alfie questioned, he was a little lost on what they were even trying to find
"We don't know yet,that's what we have to find out" Fabian said hoping that someone had some ideas
"Maybe-" but before Nina could finish joy, Jerome and Eddie came in the room
"I knew it, you guys are having a sibuna meeting" joy said taking a sit by Patricia on amber bed
"what?, no were not" Fabian said pushing the books behind
"yeah we were just talking about...the...town and all the shops me and Fabian went to" Nina said also finding the set of keys behind her back.
"hmm, yeah well I don't buy it" Jerome said now taking a sit by Alfie" if anything, you should let us in sibuna or whatever your club is"
"yeah, I almost died last term plus Eddie's Nina whatever thing" joy inputted ng to help Jerome out"plus I was in sibuna last term"
"guys look I don't know what your talking about, theirs no 'sibuna'" Nina said waving her hands when she said sibuna
"really? so what's this" Eddie asked as he picked up the folder that was on Nina nightstand
Patricia sighed, she just wanted this meeting to be over already. she didn't want to be half asleep in the morning" lets just tell them, the more people we have the faster we could look for the first clue and finish this mystery before this other guy does"
"fine, go ahead" Nina said as she picking up one of the books and passing one to joy and the other to Jerome, she thought maybe one of them might know how to crack the code.
aS everyone explained everything to Jerome, joy and Eddie Fabian was tossing the keys in his hand. He was trying to figure out how the first clue could be related to the keys.
The first clue you want, you have
As the line repeated in his head over and over
the first clue you want, you have...We have the keys but what do they go to...the first clue you want, you have...the first clue you want, you have...
Than the idea hit him
"That's it" he said getting everybody attention
"what's it?" joy asked wondering if she missed something
"The first clue"
"what is it" Nina said moving closer to Fabian
"Think about it, we have the keys but we don't know what they do to" as he looked around, everyone still seem to be lose but Nina was understanding what Fabian was saying
"that's mean it's the keys itself instead of what they go to" she said jumping up from the bed and hugging Fabian" you're a genius" she grabbing the set of keys and taking each one off of the ring, and setting them each on the bed.
"why isn't it working" Nina said getting frustrated
" Maybe its the way you lay them out" Fabian said, putting them into another order. but then he remember a picture to saw in the book. As he set each key in it place making a diamond shape. As Nina realized what he was doing she started looking through the book to find the picture since she also saw the picture in one of the book. As she came to the middle of the book is where she found the picture. As she came and stood by Fabian she looked from the book to the keys. But just as she was going to close the books and say it was probably time for bed,the keys started to glow and the light hit the book. Surprising Nina at the action causing her to drop the book right into the middle of the diamond shape that the keys made.
