Hey how's it going guys. This chapter will be, um... How should I say it? Hmm... Oh. It's going to be more eventful. This is basically going to be like the Season Finale of Season 1. But there's not going to be proms or a cup. So yeah here it is.
Fabian's P.O.V
When the 7th period bell rung, Nina quickly left the classroom. She didn't tell me anything. Or said anything the entire period. Which was basically 1hour and 30 Minutes. I was worried about her so I tried to find her. 8th period wasn't until another 30 minutes. We had a new schedule where you go to study hall in between 7th period and 8th period. And at study hall, you can be late and arrive whenever. I finally figured out that Nina was in the girls restroom. I knocked on the door as hard as I could.
"Nina?!" I yelled.
"Hang on. I'll be out in 5 seconds!" She responded.
Seconds turned into minutes. In fact I was there outside waiting for her for 15 minutes.
She finally opened the door.
"Sorry. Something happened, and uh... lets just get to study hall." She stated.
Nina's P.O.V
Turned out that we needed to have a Sibuna meeting. I was going to tell Patricia at study hall. And I did.
"Pass this to Patricia." I said to Eddie, who was behind Patricia.
The note said:
Patricia we are having a Sibuna meeting tonight 10 in the attic since last term we've been in the cellar more often.
-Nina
I told Fabian after study hall. He was worried. I could tell, because I read the expression across his face.
Patricia's P.O.V
I wondered why Nina wanted to have a Sibuna meeting. We're getting Alfie tomorrow. Maybe She wants to tell us something.
-Later That Evening-
Fabian's P.O.V
Nina held my hand ever since we got to the house. She didn't say anything about it, neither did I. It was 9:59. Victor was saying his usual.
"Okay everyone. It is 10 o'clock. You have precisely 5 minutes. Get to bed. Lights off. No noise. I want to hear a pin drop." He said.
He heard the pin drop. He checks for the last 3 minutes to make sure we weren't doing anything. I opened my door. Making sure Eddie didn't hear me. I snuck upstairs. I went as quietly as I could. I crept silently upstairs and went to Nina's room. Nina was waiting for me. I grabbed her hand and held the flashlight in the other. We couldn't say anything, Victor was probably listening for us. We were there at Anubis House every full day. But now since some of us are back,
Victor might have his eye on us. It was a pretty smart idea to have the meeting in the attic. Last term, we mostly spent our time in the cellar.
We later found Patricia waiting at her door. She was wearing her school uniform which she had forgotten to take off. Her hair was up in a ponytail. The messiest ponytail I've ever seen.
We crept up the attic stairs. Since Vera had been the house mom while Trudy was gone, the attic turned into a little bedroom. It was Vera's suggestion when Nina's gran came to visit.
There was a creek in one of the steps. So we stood there for a couple of seconds, and kept going. When we got up to the attic, everything was empty. When Vera used to be here, there was a closet, wallpaper, a bed, a table, and a personal desk. All there is now is dust.
"So let's officially start the meeting." Nina said.
We all put our right hand over our right eye and said 'Sibuna.' We made this rule, who ever wanted to lead the meeting, would have to officially start and end it.
"So, why do you want us t-" Patricia started to say.
"There's more to this mystery. I just can't explain how. I don't how to even start." She said rushing.
"Well, you can tell us." I said.
We all heard someone coming to the door. We thought it was Victor. We didn't have any chance to hide. The door opened. It was Eddie.
"Eddie! What are you doing here?" Patricia quietly yelled.
Eddie pointed to the air vents.
"I heard you all the way down stairs. I heard you coming up the steps." Eddie explained. "What are you guys doing up here anyways?"
Ever since what happened with the Mask, Eddie has only figured out about the Mask. Not our Sibuna meetings. We all looked to Nina to explain.
"Well...Eddie you remember the mask from last term?" Nina said. Eddie nodded. "Well, you see...Victor wanted the mask. And if he wore that mask he would basically become immortal. And so Amber, Alfie, Fabian, Patricia and I would come after 10:00 down to the cellar or the attic. And have our 'Sibuna' meetings."
"So that's why you guys skipped lunch everyday?" Eddie asked.
We all nodded, looking to each other.
"What does 'Sibuna' stand for or mean?" Eddie wondered.
"It's Anubis, backwards." I answered.
"Why haven't you put me into your little group? I'm the Osarian." Eddie said.
"Well we- wait? How do you know?" I started.
"I've been having nightmares and weird voices in my head ever since I met Nina. Then, I heard the voices say 'Don't let the Raven get to the mask before The Chosen One.' I lead myself to the new library. Then you guys know what happened from there." Eddie answered.
"What do you mean 'When you met me?'" Nina wondered.
"Like when we shook hands and you greeted me." Eddie said.
"Why don't we all settle this and talk about it." Patricia said.
We did. Eddie told us that he needs to stay close to Nina as possible because that's what he's supposed to do. He's the Osarian and Osarian is Egyptian talk for 'Chosen Keeper.' Nina was shocked, she said Senhkara didn't tell her any of this. We agreed that Eddie would be part of Sibuna.
"Do I have to do the hand club greet?" Eddie refused.
"As the Chosen One, the Chosen Keeper must do what the Chosen One says." Nina said.
She was right. Eddie explained that he has to do what Nina says.
"Fine." He agreed.
He put his right hand on his right eye and said Sibuna. We all did the same thing.
"Edward Sweet, you ar-" Nina started to say.
"Ahem." Eddie cleared his throat. He clearly doesn't like 'Edward.'
"Sorry. Eddie Sweet, you are know an official Sibuna member. The only thing left, is you have to sacrifice one thing. All official Sibuna members have done. So do you." Nina said.
"Sorry he can't do that." Patricia said. "He clearly can't give a human sacrifice. Since I'm one of his most valuable possessions."
Everyone gave looks. Eddie played along. After all, Eddie can't lose her.
"Y-yeah. I can't give a sacrifice now. Maybe later." Eddie played along.
"Fine. But eventually you have to sacrifice something." Nina said.
Patricia's P.O.V
So there we all were. Sitting there for hours discussing what we should do with Amber. How we're getting her back. How we're getting Alfie back without him messing up. We sat there for hours. Fabian was pacing. Eddie was thinking. Nina was deciding. I was planning. It all was the hardest thing we could've possibly done. We were there the entire night. We got hungry in the middle of everything. Nina and Fabian volunteered to go downstairs and get snacks. So they left. Eddie and I had been alone for 15 minutes. It was perfectly enough to know a person better.
"So how is your mother like?" I asked after a couple of answers.
"Like a typical mother. She cooks, cleans, yells, regular mom stuff." He answered.
"So are your parents...um..." I felt shy to ask.
"Divorced? Yeah. I mean it was hard when I was little. But I'm okay with it now." He said. "Everyone needs their breaks and my mom needed one. I get to see my dad at Anubis and my mom in the summer. It really isn't that hard."
"How are your parents?" He asked.
"Well since I'm a 'gothic rebel' they've been watching me ever since summer. They got all of Victor's phone calls. They were surprised when I told them I had a boyfriend. My last one was I was in the 6th grade. The shortest relationship I've ever had." I said, almost laughing.
"Really? Wow. So I'm kinda like a big deal for you." He said.
"Aren't you anyways?" I said jokingly.
"No I mean like we were 'meant' for each other. I was your first kiss." He said.
"I guess so. But my parents want to meet you." I surprised him.
"When?" He was nervous.
"My birthday...this Thursday. And I don't want you to tell anyone. Especially Jerome or Alfie. Then they're going to ruin everything." I said.
"Wow...I'm going to meet your parents. On your birthday. And it's a secret. Great. Everybody's waiting, everybody's going to watch and keep score? Isn't that what I do here already?" He said jokingly.
"It's going to be fine. Trust me." I said.
"You also said that when you took me on that trust test. Later I figure out that it was for Sibuna." He said, reminiscing.
(A/N: Reminiscing- another word for remembering)
"No, really. Trust me Eddie it's going to work out perfectly. Just don't mention anything dealing with school." I said.
-Meanwhile in the Anubis House kitchen-
Nina's P.O.V
Fabian and I snuck downstairs. Obviously we didn't anyone to hear us. Then Victor woke up in the middle of everything. We were already in the dining/common room. Fabian hid under the table and I hid behind the 2 doors. I peaked around the corner and Victor was going to the cellar. Again? I thought he was done for with the cellar? The Cup of Ankh and the Mask was done. Gone. What could have Victor wanted? Or...have? I decided to go to the cellar, since I was so curious.
"Nina what are you doing?!" He managed to whisper.
"Don't worry I'll be back." I replied.
"Nina! We can- We're goi-" He didn't know how to respond.
I followed Victor down the cellar steps. The steps kept creaking so I had to manage to stay quiet. I let Victor get ahead so I could seem where he went.
Eddie's P.O.V
While Patricia and I were talking, we heard running footsteps. We assumed it was Victor. So we hid behind a pillar. It was our quickest choice at the moment.
"Guys?" Fabian whispered.
Patricia and I were relived and couldn't wait to satisfy our hunger.
"Where's the treats?" Patricia asked.
"Nina went down to the cellar!" He said, trying to whisper.
"Okay...and? She's been down to the cellar many of times. More than us." Patricia answered.
"Yes, but Victor is down there." Fabian surprised us.
"Why on earth would she do that?" I asked.
-End of Chapter 14-
Okay guys have to stop there. But trust me... This is going to get good. HAVE YOU SEEN SEASON 3? IT'S ASDFGHJKL! I like how even though Nina isn't there Fabian is still worried about her. And how he is protective over her from the very start. And how he would attack Eddie, his friend, for Nina. I cried and was wondering where Nina was even though I knew the answer. NOTE: I wrote the "Osirian and Chosen One must be together" part BEFORE Season 3.
