Chapter Nineteen

Nina was fast asleep when her phone suddenly woke her up, taking her from her dreamless slumber. She was still on Fabian's couch, and Lilia was asleep on the couch across from her. She smiled slightly, and picked up her phone.

"Hello?" She yawned.

"Nina! I have something to tell you!" Amber exclaimed from the other end, she had just found something extremely… Odd. She knew it had something to do with the mystery, so that's why she called Nina. She had tried Fabian's phone, but he never answered. She figured he was asleep, it was only nine in the morning.

"Yes, Amber?" Nina questioned, sitting up. She just hoped it was important.

"I was searching around, and found an article…" Amber started off. "It's from nearly one hundred years ago. And guess who it stars?"

"Who?" Nina asked curiously, wondering where this was heading.

"Victor! It's about him opening Anubis or something! But that would mean he is like… unrealistically old! He looks exactly the same as he does now!" Amber shouted. He had to be over one hundred forty! And that wasn't possible, he didn't look older than fifty!

Nina was silent on her end, trying to figure out what Amber said.

One hundred years ago, and no change in appearance… He must have the elixir!

"Amber… I think he has the elixir." Nina breathed, aggravated by her accusation. At this rate, they weren't going to be able to save anyone. Including Amber. She didn't even know what the scales meant, she didn't tell Amber about the dream yet. "And…"

Nina explained the dream to her. She told her how she saw Sarah as a younger girl, and how she told her that everyone was in danger. She hesitantly told her about the scales, saying that if they didn't stop the teachers, every student in the house, plus Delaney, would drop dead. She could hear Amber beginning to cry on the other end.

"Amber, please don't cry… We will get that elixir." Nina promised, trying her best to calm the now sobbing Amber down. She wished she was over there at the moment, so she could hug her. She had no idea how it felt, her own life wasn't in danger at the moment. But her friend's lives were.

"Nina, we only have a few days! How are we ever going to find it in time?" Amber whined, her tears not stopping.

"We will find them. Look, I'll call you back Ambs. I need to tell Fabian about Victor having the elixir." Nina whispered. The line soon went dead, Amber not giving a good-bye. Nina let out a sigh, and got up, quietly going over to Fabian's room. She didn't want to wake Lilia up.

Nina knocked on Fabian's door lightly, unsure if he was awake or not. After waiting for about a minute, she realized he was probably still asleep.

Hesitantly, Nina reached her hand out, and slowly turned the knob. When she finally opened the door, she could see Fabian sitting on his bead, a pair of headphones covering his ears while he listened to music shirtless.

Nina couldn't help but notice that Fabian had a six-pack, which was extremely… attractive. She had no idea that Fabian was fit like that.

Fabian eventually looked up at her, he hadn't even heard her walk in. His music was pretty loud, he usually had it like that. He followed her glance, noticing she was staring at his abs. He smirked slightly, and pulled his hoodie on.

"Yes Nina?" He asked, glancing back at her. Nina blinked, and went on with what she was going to say.

"Um… Amber just called. She found an article, dating back a hundred years ago… And Victor's in it." Nina stated, gazing at her feet. "Apparently Victor is in it… I'm almost positive he already has the elixir."

Fabian blinked, and then said "We need to find it. We better visit Anubis later."

Nina nodded in agreement, and awkwardly stepped out of the room. Did she really just embarrass herself by staring at him like that?

He smirked…

Yeah, it won't let me see how many words are in that chapter, IDK why… But I hope it's decent. Beginning to hate this story… But there is only a few chapters left, I will finish it! I think the next chapters will be the most fun to write, there will be so much drama! I think anyways. Lots of action!

Haha, I wrote that note so long ago. The story is long finished xD

Any who, leave a review, and I'll send ya a preview!

Prayers to Boston xx
