Chapter Five

Fabian Rutter?! He is the one I had looked for! And my goodness, he is really cute…

Nina gazed at him in shock, trying to take it all in. She had been looking for him for a week, and now here he was, sitting right next to her, with a huge smile on his face! How in the world was this happening? This was just pure luck!

"You okay, Nina?" Fabian asked, noticing she didn't say anything after he goofily exclaimed who he was. He was pretty sure she knew who he was, and that's why she looked so shocked.

"Um, yeah! I am! I was just… thinking! And thank you for translating this for me, really!" Nina replied, putting the paper back into her pocket, and closing the book carefully. She seemed a bit nervous now. Maybe it was wrong of him to say who he was.

But she would have found out eventually.

"No problem, it's what I do. But if I may ask, where did you get that? People really don't use hieroglyphics anymore, and it seems recent…" Fabian questioned her. He wanted to know more, was there another mystery for him to solve?

"It's a long story." Nina commented, looking at him. Fabian smiled again.

"I have time."

Nina smiled back, and nodded slightly. He was a detective, and she wanted to have him help, it made sense to tell him what this was all about.

"So about a week ago, my best friend, Delaney, disappeared. Both my sister and I have been questioned, along with many others, but the police have yet to find anything themselves. So I decided to look myself, and I found that piece of paper there. I thought it maybe had something to do with her disappearance, but I really have no idea how 'Chosen One' would relate to all this."

"That wasn't too long," Fabian replied. Nina rolled her eyes playfully. "Well, maybe if you let me help, we could really find out what happened, and find your friend. I am an expert at this." He had a bit of a smirk on his face at the end, causing Nina to giggle once more.

"I was actually trying to contact you about this! This is wicked… But yes, that would be amazing!" Nina exclaimed. They were finally going to get to the bottom of this!

"Okay, let me give you my number then, Nina. And I am in the phone book, if you didn't know." Fabian chuckled, taking his phone out. Nina had never checked there, she figured it would have been online. But she guessed wrong.

Nina handed Fabian her phone, and she took his. They both entered their numbers into each other's phone, then swapped back.

"I would start searching now, but I actually have a family event to go to." Fabian stated, getting up from his chair. "But call me tomorrow morning, we can start on this."

Nina nodded, and watched Fabian walk out of the library.

He talked so professionally! He was only nineteen, yet he talked like he was in his young thirties! But it didn't matter, she had the famous Fabian Rutter helping her now, she was going to find her friend!

Nina got up, and left the books there, grabbing a random cookbook as she walked to the children's section. She hated having to lie to Lilia, but she wasn't going to have her get involved in what she was doing.

Lilia was sitting on the floor alone, playing with a dollhouse the library kept there. Nina used to play with it when she was little, and her parents took her here. Her mom used to play with her. She missed those times.

"Lil, time to go. I found the perfect cookbook!" Nina declared, causing Lilia to look at her. She looked at the cookbook in her sister's hand, and laughed. It was a dessert book, for making cakes. Her favorite!

"Yay, cake!" Lilia shouted, standing up quickly. Nina looked at the book in her hands, and smiled. Of course she would grab a dessert book.

They both walked over to the front desk, and Nina checked the book out, and walked out of the library along with Lilia.

"So, can we make the cake today?" Lilia asked, as they walked to Nina's car.

"Sure, but we will have to stop at the store. I don't have any cake things. Why don't you find a cake you like while we drive?" Nina questioned back, handing Lilia the book as she opened the car door for her. Lilia smiled, nodded multiple times.

Nina closed the door, and got in on the correct side, driving to the store.

While Lilia sought out the ingredients, Nina couldn't stop thinking about Fabian. And not about the detective part of him, just Fabian. He had been so nice to her, and just jumped in and helped.

Was Nina already falling for the boy, even though they hardly talked? Nina shook the thought out of her head, she couldn't be falling for him. They were only going to have a business sort of relationship. Or maybe they would become close friends, while they tried to solve this odd mystery.

"Nina, I have everything!" Lilia yelled, shooting Nina from her thoughts. She looked at her sister, and then back at the cart. It was filled to the prim with stuff, and lot of them being different toys, and different pink-colored clothes.

"Lilia, you know we can't get all this stuff…" Nina said, looking to see all the ingredients on the bottom of the cart. "You can pick one toy and one shirt, but that's it. We still have to buy the ingredients."

Lilia sighed, and took out most of the toys, leaving only a Barbie doll. She also took out all the clothes, other than a sparkly pink shirt.

"Can I see the recipe?" Nina questioned, wanting to make sure they had everything. Lilia nodded, and handed it to her. Nina went down the list, they were only missing cocoa powder.

Nina went into the right aisle, and quickly grabbed the cocoa powder, returning over to Lilia and the cart.

"Okay, now we have everything! Let's go make a cake!" Nina said happily, pushing the cart fast. Lilia laughed, and ran after Nina, both of them heading towards the checkout line.

They loved hanging out with each other.

Three pages xD Titter! I win! Any who, this story is about six thousand words at the moment, I want it to be so much bigger! It's only about a thousand words per chapter, that isn't good enough! I'm really trying to extend the chapters as much as I can, so they still sound good! I know word count is only a number, but I really want a nice, lengthy story! My biggest story was only 21,817 words, with fifteen chapters! A regular novel nearly has around 100,000… I must strive for more description!
