-Chapter 28-

~Nina~

Truth is, I haven't left England. Not yet. I still had some unfinished business. I headed to a small bookshop/coffee place were I thought I wouldn't run into anybody. I ordered coffee, normal, with a bit of cream. I went to the back of the store, the corner where the old records for record players where held. That's when I saw him. The man I used to love. I try to back away, but I can't get away

"Nina Rutter-Martin." He says, without looking up

"You caught me." I shrug and walk back down the isle towards him

"Why are you still here?" He asks, still not looking at me

"I don't know, it just felt like I had unfinished business..." I sigh

"Me?" Fabian questions and looks up "What do you want? A divorce signature? A settlement?"

"Why won't you just talk to me!" I whine, sounding like a three year old, but I don't care

"Because, Nina, every time we come in contact, we set off a nuclear bomb, and when we were younger, some good things happened, but now we just create hell." He looks me straight in the eye

"Then, why can't we create hell one last time..." I ask

Fabian sighs, as if surrendering, offering his arm, I link my arm with his and we leave the build

~Arabella~

I'm writing in my journal, blasting Taylor Swift, when I actually take in it. I was at Anubis. I look at the clock it's 6 pm. We just got with dinner about a half an hour ago. I feel like I should go somewhere, like someone was leading me somewhere. I get up, and walk out of my room, I tip-toed down the hall to a door, I had no idea where it lead, but I opened it. I was greeted by stairs. And of course, I walk up them, there's another door and I also open this one. My eye is auto-magically drawn to the center of the room. The dollhouse. The Anubis dollhouse. The dollhouse in my dreams from last week. The dollhouse I saw my little self playing with. I walk towards it, and bend down. I look at the side of it, the name 'Sarah' is carved on it, I brush my hand over the carving and around to the front, below the steps of the house, I pull on it, the little compartment opens, a map and an amulet, like the ones from last night are in it. I close it up but, unlatch the house. Inside, there are figurines. They seem to be alive, so realistic. A mother and a father in Trudy's office. A man, in the hall, with the same black bird as in the hallway. A little girl figurine, in my room, one that looked like Nina, almost, with a few differences. I am some how drawn to it, I slightly turn it up, so I can see the bottom the name 'Sarah Frobisher Symthe.' The doll begins to grow hot, and I drop it. Then the whole house begins to glow and shelter my eyes. Once I sense the light has died down, I uncover my eyes, there, next to Sarah, is another doll, one that looks like me, in a light purple cotton, old fashion dress. My hair had two braids from the front, that braided together at the back, almost like a crown, the rest of my dark hair fell down my shoulders and back in loose tendrils, or ringlets. It was so much like me, it was scary. I picked it up, on my back, it looked like something inside it and the end of it was sticking out, like a paper or something, I reached for the paper, and pulled it out. I read it to myself

'I gave you this one, it's your job to find the rest'

Then a woman repeats it back to me "I gave you this one, it's your job to find the rest."

I jump back, she's standing there, the old lady from my dreams, I feel like I should scream, but I feel safe.

"Do not worry child. I am here to help you, young one." The old lady reaches out "I am Sarah. Your mother and father knew me in my last days, then I contacted several different ways after."

"Like, Ouija?" I ask

"No, of course not, I am not evil." Sarah says "I have to go, I will see you soon."

Then, like that, she was gone. I slowly breathe. That happened... I just talked to a dead person, they gave me a doll of myself... I locked the dollhouse up and run downstairs. I am going crazy.

I burst into my room, Mia's phone is ringing, it's Nina, it's my Mum. The ringing stops, I look at the message, it's a group message, 'Call us back, we need to talk about Ara'

I couldn't believe it, she was talking to my Mum. About me. I felt backstabbed.

"Mia." I ran downstairs

"Yea?" She asks, she stands up from the couch and I throw her phone at her

"There you go." I feel a tear fall down my cheek "I cannot believe you!"

I run out of the house and into the woods. I don't care if I made a scene. I don't care if I made a mistake. I was hurt. I finally run of a breath and see I'm at a stream, a stream with small pool. I consider jumping in, I'm the best swimmer at my school, it would be okay, but I decide against it. There's a rustling from behind me and I turn around, there's Zander.

"Arabella." He sighs in relief

"Zander." I replied, and what I did next was probably the biggest mistake of my life...

A/N hey! So All Over Again is being released tomorrow! Are we all excited? Anywho... what do you think Nina and Fabian are talking about? Is Sarah coming back? Did Arabella act correctly? What did Arabella do? Tell me✌️.
