This chapter is dedicated to 'NINAXFABIAN', who writes the fabulous story 'I Don't Care'. It has a lot of chapters, but has a plot worth reading!

Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.

- Samuel Butler

Chapter Five

Nina's POV

I slowly came to my senses, but kept my eyes shut. Where was I? I had no recognition of what hadhappened, but I knew I wasn't at Anubis, the room was way too cold. I could also feel a throbbing pain in the back of my head, and I knew something wasn't right.

It took me nearly a minute to remember last night. The hooded man came into my room, and slammed a bat down on me. Twice. It explained why I wasn't at Anubis, and I noticed that my head was killing me as time moved forward.

I opened my eyes slowly, taking in my surroundings. There was nothing to try and recognize, the room was bare. All it had was white walls, and absolutely no furniture or windows. Just a door that was bolted shut.

It was a brilliant place to keep a hostage.

I tried to move around, but I felt completely numb. I was lying on the floor, with my hands and ankles tied together. Where did he think I was going to go? Even if I didn't have my ankles constricted, I probably wouldn't be able to walk. I could already feel myself bruising from the rope.

I should have told Fabian what had happened. I had resorted to my diary instead, not wanting to explain what had happened. I would have sounded like a complete idiot. He wouldn't have believed me, and I would have just embarrassed myself.

But there was a chance he would have stayed with me, and I wouldn't be here, I would be safe in Fabian's arms. I longed for that to be the reality of it all, for this to be a dream, but I knew it was real. Otherwise I wouldn't be encountering the pain I was in.

I began to sulk in my own misery, until the hooded man came in. He smiled deviously; the lower part of his face was visible. His eyes were still a mystery, and I assumed he would keep it that way.

"I'm glad you came to, Martin. I was concerned you were dead." The man sneered, chuckling darkly. I didn't say anything; I wasn't going to give into him. I know Fabian wouldn't want me to do that, unless he was threatening my life, or someone else's. That was the only time you should ever give in to the bad guy.

"Not going to speak? Fine by me." The man scoffed, before kicking me straight in the gut. I groaned loudly, my arms instantly going in front of my stomach. The impact made me feel like I was going to be sick.

He snickered to himself, keeping his eyes on me, and pacing around me. I glanced at him for a second, and he reached down and slapped me, making me yelp. He continued to laugh, before he kicked me in the jaw.

"The beginning hasn't even started, child." He murmured, giving me a smirk. The pain overwhelmed me, and colors flashed before my eyes, until they turned into nothing, leaving me in another state of unconsciousness.

Fabian's POV

Hardly anyone was going to school. Almost everyone at Anubis, including me, was worried sick about what was going on. Only Mick and Joy decided to go to school, which aggravated me. Mick, my best mate, didn't care at all her. AndJoy?I'm not even going to go into the hate I feel for her. We used to be friends. Personally, I missed those days she was a kind-hearted person, who cared for others. Now, she was a self-centered bully, who didn't care about the people around her. She only cared about her goals.

Amber had called a Sibuna meeting, and everyone got together in Patricia's room. Nobody wanted to step into Amber and Nina's room; nothing had been cleaned or moved. Trudy had called the police, so they insisted that nothing was changed.

I knew the police weren't ever going to find her. We knew from our past experiences that we couldn't trust them. We'd have to find her ourselves.

"Okay, so why are we having a meeting?" Patricia stated, closing the door behind her. She was the last one tocome in, the rest of us were all on the floor, in a circle. She sat down next to Amber, and glanced next to her. There was an empty spot. She quickly turned away.

Nobody could ever take away Nina's place.

"Nina's gone, Patricia!" I exclaimed, glancing at her. She bit her lip, and gazed down. I knew I shouldn't be letting my anger go loose, and definitely on friends, but I couldn't help it. I always had that problem; I tended to lash out when I got angry. But I hardly lashed out, because I never really got upset.

"Sorry… But what does Sibuna have to do with that?" Patricia questioned back, bringing her head back up. Everyone's eyes then moved to me, waiting for a response.

"Because I know who took her." I murmured, taking my bag. I could tell nobody moved their eyes, and I carefully took out Nina's diary. Before I could even start explaining, Amber started yelling.

"Fabian, you read her diary? What kind of boyfriend are you! Ew, if Alfie did that, I'd break up with him in an instant!" Amber complained, shaking her head.

"I would never read your diary, baby!" Alfie said, before he kissed Amber quickly. She giggled, before kissing him herself. I bring a meeting together for Nina's disappearance, and they just start snogging in front of us? I should just be figuring this out myself; I'd get farther at this point. Well, Patricia was always helpful, so I couldn't really say anything about her.

"Really you two?" I remarked, quickly becoming aggravated.

"I took the diary because I knew something was wrong! Listen!" I shouted desperately, and Alfie and Amber looked back at me. I opened to the end of her diary, and started reading what it said to them. I skipped until she read her description about the man.

"…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 read, making sure that I wasn't missing any words. A wave of sadness ran through me as I read her handwriting, I missed her so much already.

"…I think I'm being stalked, I know I have seen him before. What if he's after me?"I mumbled, feeling worse as I finished her entry. I could feel my eyes watering, so I gazed down. This was really all my fault, I really didn't try hard enough. I failed my job as a boyfriend. She could get killed because of me.

"At least we have something, Fabian." Amber whispered, a frown forming over her face. What were we going to do?

Aww, sad/angry Fabian. The many emotions of Fabian Rutter! I really like exploring him as a character, they never do that in the show! We don't even know about his family!

Reviews mean love (dots mean hate, ooooo), so post one! If you do, magically a preview will show up in your inbox! Yay for chu!
