Author's Note: I'm sorry for infrequent updates! OMA! Finale week is here at last! It's so hard to believe. I already have the 4th chapter half written, so it will be up sometime this week. I've had a lot of requests for Peddie and yes, I intend to have plenty. There will also be a lot of Fabina coming soon. So, here's the next chapter!

That night at Anubis house no one could sleep. Mara was angry at Jerome, Joy was angry at herself for falling for Jerome, Jerome was in blissful heaven, fallen head over heels for Joy. And the Sibunas? For the most part, they were all worried about Fabian. He hadn't appeared for the rest of the day. Ms. Denby had come up with some excuse about a family emergency, or something, and that Fabian had needed to leave for the day. Eddie was just turning over the excuse in his head when there was a knock on the door. "My lights are out Victor," Eddie called. The door opened and KT slipped inside, closing the door silently behind her. Eddie sat up.

"KT," he said, "what are you doing here?"

"Patricia just slipped out of my room," she whispered. "Then she and Victor left together. I thought you'd want to know."

"You think she's headed for the gatehouse?" Eddie asked.

KT nodded. Eddie through the covers back and grabbed his jacket off his chair.

"Alright, let's go. I'll see if I can get Alfie out of his room without waking Jerome."

Once all the Sibunas were awake and in the hall they headed for the gatehouse.

Fabian had dozed off at some point, having given up on pounding on the door and shouting for help. There was the jingle of keys outside, and his head jerked up in wakefulness as the door creaked open. Ms. Denby smiled down at him with that weird thin grin she had that made you think she wasn't really happy.

"Almost midnight," she said. "Come on, I've got some visitors to see you."

She dragged Fabian back into the second floor organ room. There Victor, and Patricia stood, and grinned at him.

"Glad you are able to join us, Mr. Rutter," Victor said.

"You know I'd never join you," Fabian said firmly.

"Well, it's not like you have the chose," Patricia replied.

The door to the secret upstairs room opened and Frobisher came down, his face looking ragged but his eyes ablaze with a victorious light as he looked Fabian over.

"At last," he said.

Eddie held his hand up to signal the group to stop. They stopped, and stared at the gatehouse door. "What are we going to do?" KT asked breathlessly.

Eddie shook his head. "I don't know. I don't think we'll be able to bust in again, not like at the eclipse."

"Well what else can we do, Fabian's in there! We have to help him!" Alfie said, and he tried to get past Eddie. Eddie pushed him back behind him and told them to shush. The door was opening. Together, the three looked around the edge of the building and watched as Victor, Patricia, and Fabian left.

"Do you think they turned him?" KT asked in a hushed whisper.

Eddie shook his head. He couldn't tell. they three ducked beneath the hedge as Victor & Co. passed there hiding place.

"I hope you prove yourself useful, Mr. Rutter," Victor was saying. "After all we don't want another failure."

"Hey," Patricia spoke up. "It's not my fault. Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm the one who got him, and how many sinners have you managed to get so far again, Victor?"

"Do not take that tone with me, Ms. Williamson."

Iit would only make sense that young people like us should be able to succeed at tasks where you've failed," Fabian told Victor. The three hidden Sibunas exchanged looks.

There was little doubt left now that Fabian had been caught as a sinner.

The next day, after lunch, the three true Sibunas managed to meet in the student lounge without Fabian or Patricia. A gray cloud seemed to hang over them. The two who's loyalty had been unquestionable could no longer be trusted, and it affected each of the members left. Eddie wished now more then ever that Fabian hadn't voted him Sibuna's new leader. KT, though she hadn't been in Sibuna for long, felt as much a part of the group as anyone. Even Alfie had no jokes to cheer them up, sitting sullenly on one of the chairs, scowling at his hands. Eddie coughed.

"Alright, I've come to a decision," he announced. Alfie and KT looked up at him curiously.

"What is it?" Kt asked.

"The artifacts, we need to finish gathering them. They're important, that much I know. Perhaps they hold the key to saving Patricia and Fabian, and my Dad," he added.

Mr. Sweet had left just before lunch, though no one knew why. When he came back, he was changed. Eddie had noticed at once that his sweet nature, the one that had earned him the nickname Sweetie among the students, was gone. There had been little doubt he was the newest recruit to Team Evil. That left one more place, one more sinner and it would be over, for good. Time was running out.

"Okay, but what then?" KT asked. Eddie took a deep breath. It had taken a long time to come to this conclusion, but he didn't see any other way to finish this.

"The secret room will have something to give us a clue what to do next," he said, "but we'll need help. We can't do this on our own."

Alfie looked up, a question in his eyes. "What are you thinking?" he asked.

"We need help from the one person who knows the House better then anyone, who has experience in this saving-the-world stuff." Alfie sat up straighter, his eyes wide.

"You don't mean.." he trailed off. Eddie pulled out his phone and selected a number he kept on speed dial.
