Hey there :] So this is my first fanfic story but I am a long time reader so I hope this is decent. I'm going off the premise that this is their senior year and the mystery was all in their junior year. Also, without the elixir, Rufus and Victor die and Trudy is in charge of the house. I feel like I may have left out some details so please feel free to ask questions about my story line for me to fill in. That would probably help. A lot :] (oh and you should know that I enjoy the "robot smiley" as my friends call it).

Enjoy :]

DISCLAIMER: hey so I don't own House of Anubis.

*Fabian POV*

Nina. Oh man how much better could you get? The beautiful way she would smile at anything that had her attention. I didn't realize how much I was staring at her while everyone else was eating supper until Mick coughed and nudged me with his elbow. I immediately blushed and straightened up in my seat. Of course Nina had been oblivious to my adoration the whole time. How typical. She turned my way and smiled at me, then continued to eat.

I tried eating my supper but I ended up just scooping up what ever it was that was on my plate, and chewing it until it had lost all flavor. I was crazy in love with this girl and she didn't even know it. Well, at least I think she didn't know it.

This being our senior year together, I thought I could muster up the courage to finally ask her to be my girlfriend or even to go out on a date. But sadly, I just ended up dragging my feet like in the past.

We had gotten so close over the span of last year, sneaking out late and spending so much time together trying to solve clues. I mean, what was really in my way? I always figured no other boy in the house would fancy her knowing how I felt, but that just made me feel at ease with the fact that I had not made a move yet.

This thought traveled with me from the dinner table to my room after supper. I knew I was on chores tonight with Nina so I wanted to relax and think before I ended up embarrassing myself in front of that beautiful woman again. I was lying on my bed thinking of ways to bring up possibly going on a date when I heard a knock at my door.

"Fabian?" said Jerome as he entered my room.

"Yeah, Jerome. I actually have to go do chores so can you be quick with it?" I responded, getting up from my bed and heading towards the door. However, Jerome stopped me by putting his hand on my chest, catching me from going out the door.

"Actually, no chores for you tonight." I looked at him with a curious cocked eyebrow. "Taken care of." He said with a smile.

"Oh, thanks…I guess" Jerome just smiled and nodded once before leaving out the door. I turned around to see Mick lacing up his sneakers. "Well I got out of chores for the night."

"Yeah I'm going on a run with Mara. Why don't you go see what Nina's doing?" Mick responded with a chuckle. He slapped my back before he ran out of out room. I just shook my head and grabbed a book as I sat down on my bed again. It was one of the Egyptian history books that I picked up when we were still in search of clues. I was just fingering through the pages until I found parts that talked about the cup of Ahnk. This was all information that I had known before but I was just trying to kill time until I figured out what I was going to say to Nina when I saw her.

After looking back over the familiar pages, I became curious as to what the book said about Anubis. It was kind of odd that I had never thought to look there. With Rufus and Victor dead, simply hiding the cup under Nina's bed seemed to suffice in keeping it safe. As I was reading about how Anubis was the God of Death, and other relatively interesting things, I found something that made my heart beat speed up to an overwhelming level. I continued reading more, just to make sure I was getting all the information down right, then dog eared the page and set the book down on my bed.

I got up and rushed into the common room looking for Nina but all I saw was Patricia, who was on the couch listening to music Her face gave me a mixture of anger, which was typical, and sympathy, which was not. She just pointed her finger towards the kitchen, though. I turned around to see Nina sitting on the counter with Jerome standing in front of her with his hand on the countertop, right next to where Nina was sitting. She was giggling and bubbly, flipping her hair over her should while Jerome just started inching his way closer.

I could feel my heart hit the floor, taking my stomach along for the ride. After I picked myself up, I quickly walked to the kitchen door, knocking on the wall to stop the flirt fest before it got any worse.

"Hey Nina?" her eyes broke from his gaze and she almost looked a little dizzy from it. She perked her head up and blushed slightly, just making me angrier with Jerome. "Yeah I just found something really interesting that I wanted to show you. If you're done with your chores…?"

"Yup I'm all done." she said as she hopped off the counter and took off her gloves.

"Great!" As she and I walked out of the kitchen towards my room, I could see Jerome's knuckles turn white on the counter. He still hadn't turned around but I did not want to see that face.

..Once we got to my room I locked the door behind me, making sure Jerome couldn't come hunt me down and so no one would hear what I had to talk to Nina about.

"So what did you find?" asked Nina while she went to sit on the end of my bed.

"Well I was looking through this book I got last year," I responded as I sat down next to her and flipping to the page. "This part about Anubis says he designed the cup of Ankh for the man who tried to cheat death. However, Anubis cursed this man and so he would have to live forever with a curse, so he tried to get rid of the cup. He couldn't sell it or hide it, so he ended up breaking the cup into the seven pieces…of course that we know about. But it says that the person who holds the cup will be cursed unless they deliver it to where it belongs." I could see the fear in Nina's eyes as she read along with me and saw what was happening.

"To where it belongs? Where is that? How are we going to get it there? How much time do I have?" All these questions poured out of Nina's mouth just as tears started to pour out of her eyes. I pulled her into my shoulder as I frantically read looking for answers.

Sooo...Please review! I'm so naive and I need constructive criticism!

oh and I completely made up that story about Anubis god so please no flames about how it's not historically correct or what not.
