Chapter Eleven
Fabian and Nina explored the hallway, noticing how old the house looked. It also was like a museum, which was barricaded from the world.
They were both thrown out of their thoughts, when a young blonde girl walked into the room. She smiled at the two, and walked over to them. She knew they weren't supposed to be there, but she noticed the two were holding hands, and that was just adorable to her!
"Hi, I'm Amber Millington!" Amber announced to them, holding out her hand politely. She smiled warmly at the two, as Nina shook her hand. Fabian shook her hand as well. They both smiled at her, they didn't expect her to introduce herself, or show the kindness she was given.
"Nina Martin." Nina stated clearly, and looked over at Fabian. "And that's Fabian."
"So what are you two doing here? I know for a fact you don't go to the school, I know everyone here!" Amber exclaimed, crossing her arms.
"Just… looking around I guess." Nina answered. Fabian nodded in agreement, he wasn't saying much. But he was glad that Amber didn't know who he was, he feared she'd be the type of girl to completely flip out, like a fangirl.
"Are you guys a couple?" Amber asked abruptly, causing both Nina and Fabian to look towards her. "Cause you guys are holding hands, and it's just adorable!"
Both of them blushed immensely and shook their hands, letting go of each other's hands.
"Well, you should be! You guys would be a p- Hey, that locket looks familiar!"
Nina gave Amber a mysterious look, and Amber ran over to her, and eyed the locket. "Yeah, I've defiantly seen it before. It would probably fit in this keyhole I saw once! Want to see? I don't think Victor is around."
"Um, sure." Nina responded.
"Who's Victor?" Fabian asked confusedly, was he the man they were following?
"Yeah, Victor! He's a real creep, he's the house master or whatever. And he isn't very attractive either… Yuck." Amber answered, smiling goofily. The two of them laughed, and looked at each other briefly.
That creep was somehow related to Delaney's disappearance…
"Well, follow me!" The blonde exclaimed, beginning to walk down the hall. The duo followed her, glancing at everything as they did, searching for any clue they could find. Like usual, there was nothing. But this keyhole she was talking about, it could be a clue.
Amber stopped at the correct door, and held it open, letting Fabian and Nina walk through. They both thanked her, and stepped into what seemed to be the kitchen. It was on the smaller side, but it was still decently-sized.
Through the opening in the kitchen, you could see the other students, laughing and talking to each other in the common room. Amber told both of them to be very quiet, so they didn't notice them. They nodded in agreement.
"Okay, so the keyhole is right… Here!" Amber stated quietly, crouching down by some sort of oven. She pointed to the hole.
Amber was right, the keyhole looked like it would fit the locket Nina had. What if it actually opened something, and led them somewhere secret? That would be one of the coolest things ever.
Nina crouched down next to her, and took her locket from underneath her shirt. She looked over at Fabian, who nodded, telling her to do it. She took a deep breath, and carefully placed the locket on the keyhole.
The locket lit up for a split second, and then a small door (that was thought to be the oven) opened up. Nina grinned wildly, and took her locket back. They actually found a secret room!
"It worked!" Amber cheered softly, clapping her hands together a few times quietly. She smiled, and looked into the passageway. They were going to have to crawl.
"That locket has powers." Fabian mouths over to Nina. Nina nods in agreement, and Amber looks over at the two of them.
"So, who's going first?"
Changed my username back, didn't like it -.- But I am still using 'Wonderland Wanderers' :3
Ugh, I wanted each chapter to be at least 1000 words, but it's not working -.- Combining chapters also doesn't work a lot of times, because then it goes on too long. So deal with me, chapters will be short. Sorry about that x
