This chapter is dedicated to the writer 'PurpleDucks5', who writes the story 'The One Who Knows'. It is one of the greatest stories I have read with third-person point of view. Check that one out! :)

I believe much trouble would be saved if we opened our hearts more.

Chapter Two

Fabian's POV

"Fabian, seriously. All you do is read!" Amber yelled at me from across the room, shaking her head. "You really should be off making Fabina memories!"

"She's on a walk, Amber. You know if she was here, we would be doing something." I stated, keeping most of my attention to my book. After I had helped Joy with her homework, I had come back into the living room, and started reading. Literally only seconds later, Amber started complaining.

I knew Joy had a thing against Nina, and it bothered me that I had to help her. I couldn't say no to her, I would feel terrible. But I hated how she treated her; Nina never did anything to her. I know it has to do with us being together, but why couldn't she understand that I loved her? Joy and I had been great friends, and I liked it that way, but she couldn't keep it like that. She just kept pushing for a relationship she wasn't ever going to get.

"Why didn't you go with her? Fabian, she's an innocent, oblivious girl who always gets into trouble! She could die!" Amber, who wasapparently my relationship coach, shouted, crossing her arms. "If my best American friend gets killed, I'm forever blaming you!"

I glanced at the ground, cringing at my decision. I should have gonewith my girlfriend, not her enemy. Joy could have easily done the homework herself; she always aced the tests in the class. But I didn't have the guts to say no, and Nina didn't seem mad about it.

Just then, the door slammed open, and I quickly turned my head. Nina had just walked in, but she looked quite startled. She abruptly shut the door, and I noticed how fast she locked it. Was somebody after her? Those were the key signs when someone was chasing you.

I quickly sprang up, and ran over to her, Amber following me. Nina eyed both of us, before she set her jacket on the railing. The first thing I noticed was that her hand had a cut on it, as well as fresh blood surrounding it.

If somebody attacked her, I swear…

"Nina, what happened?" I questioned softly, my eyes staying near her hand. Amber noticed my gaze and glanced over as well, and frowned to herself. She probably had the same ideas. Amber was ditzy at times, but she was also very smart, which we all figured out through Sibuna. She knew what she was doing.

Nina hadn't seemedto notice the blood dripping from her hand, until she saw us both staring. She made a face, and sighed.

"Let me get some bandages… Meet me in your room, yeah?" I asked, and she quickly nodded, before disappearing up the stairs.

I didn't have my own first-aid kit, so I went in search of one. Amber followed me, trying to help. Neither of us could find one though, thankfully we bumped into Trudy.

"Hello loves, do you need something?" She asked cheerfully, holding a basket of laundry. Amber and I flashed her a small smile, before we nodded.

"Nina hurt her hand, and we need the first-aid kit. Do you know where it is?" Amber questioned, returning the enthusiasm Trudy offered. Even though it wasn't a happy situation, Amber always seemed to be cheerful. The girl hardly ever frowned.

Trudy, concerned, put the laundry basket down,before leading the two of us to Victor's office. She grabbed it from one of his desk drawers, and handed it to me. I thanked her, before making my way to Nina's room.

When we both arrived, Nina was already sound asleep, her bleeding hand set in front of her. I smiled slightly; she looked so beautiful when she slept.

Though she always looked beautiful to me.

I moved a chair over to her bedside, and sat down, opening up the first-aid kit. There were a bunch of different things in it, but I knew everything inside. My father was a doctor, and he taught me everything I would ever need to know.

I gently put her hand on top of mine, and grabbed one of the alcohol wipes. I swiftly opened the package up, and wiped the blood of her hand. She made a face in her sleep, it probably stung. I frowned slightly, and moved it away.

"Yeah, I'm going to go now…" Amber whispered behind me, before exiting the room. I could understand, a lot of people weren't really fond of blood, which the wipe was full of. I didn't enjoy it either, but Nina mattered more.

I shot the wrapper into the garbage bag, and reached out to the kit, taking the anti-infection/anti-pain spray. I knew this stuff stung, and I knew she was asleep, but she would need it either way. I quickly sprayed her cut, and this time, she didn't react. I was glad it didn't bother her, or even wake her, the stuff always hurt me.

I threw the spray back in the kit, grasped the bandages, and gently wrapped her hand up. It only took me a minute, I had lots of practice. When my little sister, Elise, got a cut, she always had me treat her. She loved our dad, but she seemed to be closer with me. I didn't mind, I loved Elise, she was the best little sister someone could have. I would easily take a bullet for her, just like I would for Nina.

After I set her hand down, and pulled the covers over her, I closed up the kit.

That's when I noticed her diary was sitting open, the pen still sitting near it. She must have been writing in it, before she fell asleep.

Making sure she was still sleeping, I cautiously took her diary, being as quiet as possible. She stirred slightly, but only rolled to the side, her eyes now facing the other way.

It was wrong to look at it, I know, but I thought maybe it would say something about what happened. Amber would probably kill me, alongside Nina. If it was something dangerous, I would have no choice but to talk to the two about it.

I slowly started reading the words on the page, guiltiness attacking me at each one.

Today started out great, but it ended a bit freaky. After school, I got to go outside, and it was snowing! Like, actual snow was coming from the sky! Yeah, sad, I know, but I hardly ever saw snow out of the movies.

Fabian and I got into a snow battle though, and I beat his butt! But he was so adorable, even though he was being pelted to death.

But eventually I took a walk, when Amber kind of upset me. She said that the whole house was watching Fabian and me, the whole house! And Jerome even started betting on who would win! How ridiculous is that? It was a complete invasion of privacy.

I bit my lip. At this very moment, I was stealing Nina's privacy right from her. I was tempted to put it down, but I knew if I kept going, I would see what happened. I kept going.

Any who, I had heard something behind me, and when I looked, nothing was there! But then I turned back forward, and this hooded guy was just standing there! That's when I realized I saw him before, lots of times! This wasn't the first encounter!

I ran away, but I ended up tripping, which is how I scratched my hand up.

…

I think I'm being stalked, I know I have seen him before. What if he's after me?

This is why I read on.

Who the hell would be stalking Nina? This can't have anything to do with her being the 'Chosen One', can it? It doesn't add up, the teachers don't wear hoods like that!

Though during their special ceremonies, they did. But they long retired from that. The tears are gone.

My first reaction was putting the diary back just how it was, and rushing to find Amber. I had to tell her what was going on, Nina could end up hurt.

I searched around the whole house, trying to find her. I eventually bumped into Alfie, who told me she had gone out to the movies with Joy. I let out a sigh, and went into my room, slamming the door.

I would have to wait for her to return.
