Hi everyone! I am so sorry this took forever to post this. I've been busy, in the middle pf writing other stories and I wanted to finish rewriting the story first before I got this one up. I decided that I felt better writing this story in first person than I did third so I rewrote the story. Nothing changed plot wise but I did rewrite a few things. You guys don't have to reread it if you don't want to but I did add a few scenes in there so I do recommend it. Alright moving on, ahh this is the last part of the first ep! Yay! About time right? lol So from the next point on each chapter will be an episode. And don't worry I'm working on the next ep as we speak. So whose been watching third season? I have and I gotta say it's really weird without Nina(Nathalia) there. And poor Fabian is heart broken :( And then if it wasn't weird enough (spoiler alert) Amber left too! Wth! Well hopefully she'll be like Mick and appear at the last episode with Nina :) Alright enough of my talking it it time for Chapter 8. Enjoy :)

Disclaimer: I do not own House of Anubis. If I did Amber and Nina would still be in the show.

Chapter 8

"Oh Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo. Deny thy father and refuse they name. If that will not but swore my love and I will no longer be a Capulet." Amber read from Romeo and Juliet while she stood on stage with Alfie in our Drama Class. I was sitting next to Jerome on the sofa while the rest of the class including all my house mates and our teacher Mr. Winkler were watching the two do their performance.

"Shall I hear more or shall I speak at this?" Alfie practically yelled his part and discretely (from Amber at least) gave Jerome a thumbs up. I giggled as Jerome laughed motioning Alfie to tone it down and mouthed calm.

"Tis but thy name that is my enemy, thou art…"Amber paused and I looked up confused. I saw her look at Mick then turn to Alfie a smile on her face. "Thou art….truly the yummiest boy I've ever seen Romeo."

"What!" Alfie exclaimed.

"That's not in the line Amber." Mr. Winkler said. I'm pretty sure she knew that but why-

Suddenly Amber dropped her book, went over to Alfie and kissed him. My eyes widened. Oh my gosh, did she just kiss Alfie? Isn't she still with Mick? There was bunch of cat calls and whistles going about the room. I saw Mick's face and he did not look happy.

"Wow," Jerome said. I looked up at him the memory of our almost kiss entering my mind as I found myself wondering what it would be like if we really did finish that kiss. Jerome must have felt me staring at him because he looked down meeting my gaze. I wanted to say something but I didn't know what to say. Luckily Mr. Winkler picked that moment to start talking again so I quickly looked away focusing my attention on our teacher.

"Wait so you kissed Alfie to make Mick jealous because you read it in a magazine?" I asked Amber as we walked back to the Anubis house.

"Uh yeah! It's the only way to see if Mick really likes me. Trust me Anna." Amber stated.

"Or, you could talk to him?" I suggested though I shouldn't really be talking. I mean I have a huge crush on Jerome but I don't think I'd ever be able to tell him that. "Besides, I thought we talked about waiting for Mick or Mara to talk to you first."

"It's been hours and Mick hasn't done a thing! Plus, if Mick get's jealous then I'll know he still likes me." I went to speak but she changed the subject. "Oh speaking of boys I know something is going on between you and Jerome and if you don't tell I'll be forced to find out for myself." Amber said looking at me with a 'You better tell me everything or else' look. I knew she would eventually get it out of me…or Jerome and that would be so embarrassing so I might as well tell her now.

I bit my lip nervously and nodded. "Alright but you have to promise not to breathe a word about this to anybody, Promise?"

Amber nodded. "Promise."

I took a deep breath and said in a quiet voice. "I may have sort of, almost kissed Jerome."

Her eyes widened and she stopped walking which happened to be right when we reached the door. She turned to me and squealed.

"No way! You and Jerome almost kissed! What happened! Tell me everything!" She was practically jumping in excitement.

"Amber! Shh!" I exclaimed my face bright red. Luckily no one was around. "And I'll tell you when we get inside." She nodded and we walked in the house and up to my room where I told her everything that happened.

"Aww, that's so romantic." Amber squealed. "Though it's sort of weird because it's Jerome, but it's still romantic."

I giggled. "Yeah, it was…but I don't even know if he likes me. What if he was just lost in the moment and that's why he was going to kiss me."

"Uh hello! He was staring at your lips which is a clear sign he wanted to kiss you and besides I can see the way he looks at you he totally likes you!" Amber told me as if it we're obvious. I guess she had a point but I don't think Jerome looks at me that way….does he?

"I don't know Ambs." I said. "He can be so confusing, I mean sometimes he's really sweet and then other times he's a jerk and I don't know what to think."

"Well, this is Jerome we're talking about." Amber said. I gave her look and she sighed. "Look, maybe you should take your own advice and talk to him. Maybe if he knows how you feel he'll be nicer."

I nodded a bit surprised. "You know Amber, that's actually I really good idea."

She laughed. "I know right? And don't sound so surprised, I can be smart you know?"

I smiled. "Totally, thanks Ambs. You're the best."

"Duh, what are best friends for? I mean it's in the name. Best Friends" She said emphasizing the word best. I laughed she had a point.

It was about midnight and Fabian, Amber, Mara and I were gathered in the hall by the attic door waiting for Jerome, Alfie, Patricia and Nina. Amber and Fabian were at one side of the door while Mara and I were at the other. We we're all holding torches to our faces which gave us all creepy glows and it was all for the "initiation". This has to be the stupidest idea ever but I knew I had to be here to keep an eye on Patricia. For some reason I felt like there was more to this then she was letting on.

Suddenly our bedroom door opened and the four walked out with Patricia and Nina in the front and Jerome and Alfie in the back. They, besides Nina, had torches held to their faces as well giving them the same creep glow. Not really helping the whole stupid idea factor.

"Where's Mick?" Amber suddenly whispered making Fabian jump. I smirked.

He shrugged. "Didn't want to come, tired I think."

"Shh!" Patricia hushed causing Fabian to jump again. This time I let out a quiet giggle. Patricia sent me a glare. I rolled my eyes but stayed still.

"Oh spirits of Anubis House guide the new girl," Patricia began turning to Nina. "On her initiation quest and keep her from harm in the haunted attic." I scoffed, was this seriously necessary?

"Come on." Fabian said removing the light from his face. "This is ridiculous."

"Shh!" Patricia hushed again glaring at him. Fabian gave her a look but put the light back on his face.

"Unlock the door." Patricia said.

Nina walked to the attic door, took out the key she took from Victor's office and put it in the key hole.

She turned to Patricia "I just have to go up there and bring something back and then I'm done." Patricia nodded. "You guys didn't booby-trap the place or anything did you?"

"Course not!" Patricia told her. "Go."

Nina turned back to the door and unlocked it. Slowly, she opened the door and once it was wide opened we all glanced inside. It was dark, you could barely see anything just a stair case and a little light coming from the top. It was really creepy looking. Nina walked inside then turned to us again looking nervous. Then before anyone of us could do anything Patricia ran to the door and closed it.

"What are you doing?" Amber and I exclaimed.

"What does it look like?" Patricia said locking the door and taking out the key.

"Patricia!" I yelled. I heard shuffling from the other side of the door.

"What's going on?" Nina asked frightened as she tried to open the door. "Let me out!"

"You heard her! Let her out!" Fabian exclaimed.

"Not until you tell us what you know about Joy's disappearance." Patricia said staring at the door.

"Really Patricia?" I asked angrily. "Is this was this was all about?"

"I don't know anything!" Nina shouted.

"Then you'll have to stay there till morning." Patricia replied holding up the key,

"Alright Patricia you had your fun, just please unlock the door." Fabian told her.

"Yeah, Patricia this is getting silly." Mara agreed.

"Whose side are you on?" Patricia asked her angrily.

"This isn't about sides Patricia!" I exclaimed. Is she being serious? What is locking Nina in the attic going to do besides probably scar Nina for life?

Patricia ignored me. "Last chance, what can you tell me about Joy?"

"Nothing, I know nothing." Nina exclaimed sounding like she wanted to cry.

"You're not really going to leave her in there are you?" Fabian asked worriedly.

"Let me out!" Nina screamed turning the handle and banging on the door frantically. Okay this seriously getting out of hand. Patricia has gone too far.

"Stop banging!" Patricia yelled.

"Give me the key Patricia." I said standing In front of her holding out my hand.

She scoffed. "No."

"Let me out!" Nina screamed again banging on the door. "There's something up there!"

Amber turned to Patricia. "Open the door!"

"The zombies are coming!" Alfie exclaimed whispering. I gave him a look but then turned my attention back to Patricia who was moving towards the door. I heard footsteps coming from the hallway, my eyes widened. Oh no! Victor!

"Hurry!" Mara whispered.

"Hurry up!" Fabian and I said.

"What's with all this noise?" Uh oh. We turned to see Victor holding up a torch and looking…well glaring at us. We all stayed silent, looking away. "What is going on? Why are you all out of bed?" He looked at all of us but no one said anything. He walked to the door and turned the knob. He turned to where Fabian, Amber and I stood.

"Are you trying to break this door down?" He asked. We shook our heads.

"No! We-"Patricia stopped for a moment when Victor turned to her. "…thought we heard…mice. That's all."

"Get. To. Bed. Now!" Victor yelled. We we're out of that hallway in seconds but when Victor's back was turned I grabbed Fabians arm and pulled him in my room.

"Wha-" He tried to speak but I shook my head silencing him. Standing close to the door we listened to what Victor was doing. We heard a door open and our eyes widened. Slowly and quietly I opened my door quietly gasping when I saw him walk into the attic. I closed my door and turned to Fabian.

"He went into the attic!"

Uh oh, Nina better hurry into that secret panel in the wall haha. Oh I just wanted to let you know that during the story if I mention something referring to what I edited in the chapters (If you don't reread it) I'll let you know what's going on. Alright that's all I got for now. Please review and tell me what you think! Thanks for reading! :)
