Nina's POV

We hid away in the girl's rooms after devising a plan for the next day. Myself, Amber and Fabian were going to sneak into the Gate House after everyone goes to school to check on the tank and hopefully scoot it away into the tomb. After all, no tank, no ceremony.

So the next morning I rolled over on the floor of Patricia, KT, and Joy's room where I'd camped the night before with Amber. Light was streaming through the window panes in a familiar way, reminding me of the many times I awoke in this house in the past few years to solve a mystery or save the world from some unforeseen evil. Yawning, I stretched my legs, looking at the clock. It was 6:59.

Beep! The alarm clock yelped, causing the others to almost jump out of bed.

"Morning." I greeted Amber, smiling as her blonde hair cascaded across her shoulders.

She smiled, tugging at the sleeves of her pajamas. "Morning." She greeted before standing up and looking in the mirror. "Oh I look atrocious!"

Patricia laughed, swatting at the alarm clock. "There's the Amber I've missed!"

Amber grinned, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "I know!"

The morning progressed and soon it was just Amber and I in the bedroom, waiting for Fabian to come saying it was okay to come out. I ended up sitting on the edge of Joy's bed while Amber worked on her hair at the desk. When she was done, she turned and looked at me. "So, Nina.." She began, biting her bottom lip. "What're you thinking about Fabina?"

I laughed at her use of her name for Fabian and I's relationship before sighing. "I don't know, Amber."

"But you're coming back!" She whined, always team Fabina despite anything and everything.

I shhed her even though we were alone. "I'm not going to tell everyone yet. We need to do the ceremony before making any big declarations."

She sighed. "Okay, fine, but seriously, I know you still love him, Nina."

I exhaled loudly. "Yet again, we don't need to do something rash."

"Oh, fine." She pouted, relaxing just as there was a knock on the door. She popped up and opened the door, smiling. "Fabian!" She grinned, hugging his neck with a smile before pulling away and grinning. "It looks like the original Sibuna is back!" She announced, grinning over at me and raising her hand over her eye as I stood.

"Sibuna." We chanted before laughing. I quickly crossed the room and joined in the group hug, wrapping one of my arms around Fabian and the other around Amber and smiling like I was home again for the first time in a long while.

Yeah, so, yeah, i'm tired so yeah.

please review. i'm sinking and I need that. I need you to help me not sob my eyes out at night. please.
