I decided that I'm gonna start having fun with the disclaimer, and since Jerome is ignored in this story I'll let him do it.
Jerome: Yea what's up with that?
Starshine: Sorry, but you're just not that important here.
Jerome: Me? Not important? That's impossible! I could totally help Nina against Rufus!
Starshine: Oh really?
Jerome: Yea! And why make meathead Mick her love interest?
Starshine: Hey just be glad I made this Jara too!
Jerome: Ok thanks.
Starshine: Now just do the stupid disclaimer already!
Jerome: Ok, ok. This author does not own House of Anubis or any of the characters.
Mick's POV
Ok, so Rufus just left Nina here after he sedated her! What a creep. But what was even creepier was Nina's dreams. I have a feeling that they mean something. And that if we don't find out what it is ASAP that something bad will happen. But what could it mean? Ok so Sarah had a twin sister and Victor pushed her into a volcano.
But it was so weird that before that Nina had a dream that she was pushed into a volcano….OH MY GOSH! It's so obvious! How could not have gotten this before! Nina is going to get PUSHED into a VOLCANO!
I can't let Nina get pushed into a volcano! I'm just discovering my love for her!
Poor Nina. I'm going to find a way to stop this. I am NOT going to let her get pushed into a volcano.
Nina's POV
This whole thing has me really confused. Ok, not really. This whole thing has me really worried, stressed, weirded out, and frustrated! I know exactly what the dreams mean! Even more than Mick can ever know! I knew that I shouldn't have told him my dreams….but I had to tell someone.
Victor explained everything to me. In order to gain eternal life the chosen one must be sacrificed. It has to be the chosen one because Anubis has blessed his/her spirit. After being sacrificed into the volcano the chosen one's spirit will rise up out of the lava and enter the person who pushed her in. Giving that person not just eternal life, but eternal youth.
Victor told me that he knows that he's human and it's natural to die, and that he no longer wishes to tip the scales of life. But Rufus doesn't share his beliefs. Rufus is the one that wants to kill me! I can't tell Mick…I can't tell anyone. I think I should probably just take Victor up on his offer to take me somewhere safe.
But I can't leave Mick. I know, everyone thought I loved Fabian. And I did. But Fabian obviously didn't love me the same way. Mick has been really sweet lately and I think that I can really trust him. I think that I might love him…
But if I really do love him, then I can't tell him! I regret telling him and Mara about SIBUNA at all. It's not that I don't trust them; it's just that I don't want to put them in danger. So much for that, but somebody deserves to know. I would tell Amber but as much as I love her, she can't keep a secret if a life depended on it. And in this case MY life depended on it. So I'll have to tell the one person I trust…
I went downstairs to get a snack and Mick was there. When he saw me he smiled.
"Feel better?" how sweet.
"Yea, a lot. Where's Fabian?"
He seemed to get a little angry when I asked that but he kept his cool and gave me a one word answer.
"Room."
So I took a wild guess and went to Mick and Fabian's room. When I saw him there I felt bad about what I was about to tell him. Yea, I know that I said I love Mick but truthfully, I don't know Mick that well. Fabian's been helping me since the very beginning and I know that I can trust him with anything.
"Fabian?"
He looked up from his homework and his face immediately brightened.
"Yea?" he asked.
"I need to tell you something..."
Realizing how serious my tone was he began to look worried. "What's wrong?"
So I told him exactly what I told Mick. Rufus, my dreams, and what they so clearly mean. He looked REALLY worried now, and I felt really bad for the news that was yet to come.
"There's more."
"What? How can there be more?"
"Victor…he's on our side now….he just wants to protect me."
"No…no….NO…Nina, you…you can't! You just….you can't!"
"I'm sorry, but it's safer for me to get hidden away. I can't let Rufus get eternal life. He'll kill you all!"
"But we can find another way! I don't want you to get hidden away like Joy was."
Of course, this was about Joy… "Victor only wants to help me. It's for my own safety too."
"But he can't take you away from me! Not again…"
"He hasn't taken me before, this is the first time."
"Joy was the first time!" he got angry.
Joy…Joy….this was all about Joy. "Well I'm sure that when Victor takes me he will let Joy come back so you can see her again. Just please, don't tell anyone, I don't want them to worry about me." And then I walked out. I went to my room and started crying. I loved Fabian, but I love Mick. Loved as in past tense and love as in present tense, and Fabian obviously still loves Joy.
Mick came up to my room half an hour later. He could tell that I was sad but I wouldn't give him any answers. I couldn't tell him though, I need to keep him safe. After about 5 minutes of questioning he sighed, deciding that I wouldn't tell him anything.
"Hey, can I show you around town?"
I wanted to say No! I need to talk to Victor, I need to pack! But then another part of me told me to say yes, this is going to be your last day with them, enjoy it.
So I said "Sure, I'll be down in 10 minutes."
He smiled and nodded and walked out the door. It was a warm day so I put on some shorts and a white tank top and went downstairs. Mick hadn't done anything, not that he needed to. He was really cute! Our hands intertwined and we went out the door, not looking back.
He called the cabbie and when we got in I saw something that scared the crap out of me. Rufus was standing in the woods!
"Go." I whispered.
"What?" Mick asked.
I saw Rufus starting to walk towards us. "GO!" I screamed. "GO! STEP ON THE GAS! JUST GO!" I was frantic now and I guess the driver got the message because he zoomed away from there at about 80. After we got a safe distance away I started calming down and Mick started asking questions.
"What was that all about?"
"Rufus…he was…he was there…he was walking towards us."
"Well we left him in the dust now, there are a million cabbies and they are all the same, there's no way he could follow us babe. Let's just enjoy this day."
Yes, I thought, enjoy this day. But when we finally got to town I had the feeling that somebody was watching me. This is my last day! He's not gonna ruin it!
Mick didn't seem to think that anything odd was going on at all. He was having the time of his life. It was like it was his dream to go to town with me! I'm gonna miss him. I'm gonna miss all of them.
"I'm starving babe. Wanna go to the food court?"
"Sure, but I'm gonna use the restroom first."
He nodded. As I made my way around the corner in the direction of the restrooms I realized I had set my purse down on the table so I turned around to go get it and Rufus was standing right in my way.
I'm sorry if this is bad, I'm so used to reading Fabina things that sometimes I make Mick a little too much like Fabian. But I think I did Mick justice. Review please!
