I don't own HOA

Fabian felt the blood cover his hands, Senkhara's screams inside his head and Nina yelling his name before he hit the ground.

X-X-X

Nina stared at the blood covered brunette who lay motionless on the marble floor, not sure if she believed what she was seeing. How could this happen? It can't happen, it's impossible! Isn't it? Nina felt panic begin to rise within her as disbelief began to fade. Fabian had to be alright, he just had to!

Nina felt herself freeze as she tried to get up to check on the boy. What if he was dead? What if he had left her here in this world while he had floated off to heaven? Nina didn't want to know if that had happened. She knew it would wreck her. So instead, Nina began to scream as loud as she could. Though her panic did make her screams pretty quiet.

"Amber!" She yelled, her voice wavering uncontrollably, "Fabian has stabbed himself!" Tears began to sweep down Nina's cheeks and she sniffed hysterically as Amber opened the door. Amber looked confused.

"What was that, Nina? I heard my name," Amber's face widened in horror when she saw Fabian lying on the floor, blood spilt on the floor beneath him. "Fabian!" Amber squeaked, slamming the door shut. Amber had never been the one for bravery. Nor had she ever been the one to comfort people while she was also frightened and sad and she certainly wasn't starting now. She did pretty much what Nina did... Cry!

Amber rushed over to Nina and flung her arms over the girl's shoulders in a sort of side hug before she too burst into fits of tears. "I-i-is...h-h-he...d-d-ead?" Amber sniffed hysterically, her tears falling on Nina's head.

Nina looked up at the blonde with her eyes bloodshot and still full of tears. "I don't know... I... I think he could still be alive..." Amber stopped crying as hysterically as she was, to listen to her best friends opinion. She roughly wiped the tears that remained on her face as she took a step away from Nina.

Nina hopped up off the bed in response to her friends' action and hobbled clumsily over to where he boyfriend remained motionless...

X-X-X

Fabian staggered around inside his mind, gripping his chest in obvious pain. How much blood had he lost? It hadn't been too long since the blade had met his flesh but it felt like all the blood inside him was gone. At first, Fabian thought he had died and had gone to where the angels and the demons rested, but once he saw Senkhara also growling in pain, he knew he wasn't dead. Only inside his mind again.

It wasn't the most pleasant of places. His mind held horrifying memories from recent events and he felt as though Senkhara was going to try to control him again. Though he knew it was unlikely since she was in just as bad of a state as he was.

"You fool!" Senkhara yelled, her voice wavering. "What have you done? Now we are both going to die!" She gripped her chest in pain, but, unlike Fabian, her head seemed to cause her pain also as she gripped her forehead with her other hand.

Fabian felt as though his legs were going to buckle at any moment. The pain was so intense and it felt like it was worsening as time went past, but this was the only way to get rid of the dark spirit. He was protecting Nina and all his friends, that meant more to him than his life. "You see Senkhara," Fabian croaked. "You knew that Nina and my other friends weren't going to kill me. But you never knew I was going to kill myself." Fabian coughed a few times and blood sprayed over his hand.

Senkhara gave Fabian a quizzed look. "Why did you do it? Why would you die when you have limitless power in your grasp? Why would you die for these...people?" Senkhara's face softened a little, making her look like a confused and frightened child.

Fabian stood taller, but he wanted to collapse into a heap on the floor. 'Why doesn't she get it?' he thought. He wasn't sure why she couldn't get the idea that love was so powerful, more powerful that any 'power' Senkhara could find, that someone would die to keep it alive. Was it because she had never found love? He believed she never got the chance to love. She had become a murderer before she got the chance.

Fabian took a deep breath, feeling as though he was going to die from blood loss any minute now, but he had to tell Senkhara this! She had to understand. Fabian wasn't sure why he was so desperate to explain it to her. Maybe it was because he felt sorry for her, or it was to keep his mind off the pain. It could have even been because he didn't want to cry, thinking of Nina. But, whatever the reason, he wanted her to know.

"They aren't just 'people' to me," Fabian said. "They are my friends and my girlfriend. I would rather die than watch them suffer!"

Senkhara looked as though she would have laughed if she wasn't in so much pain. "That is ridiculous! Who would choose death over life?"

"Someone who cares about someone else."

"That makes no sense!"

"It makes perfect sense, but you wouldn't understand."

"What do you mean, I wouldn't understand?"

Fabian felt as though his life would be up in a matter of seconds and he didn't want to spend that time arguing with the spirit. So he murmured, "You wouldn't underestand...because...you have never... never found love...You ruined your life... Senkhara..." Fabian fell to the floor and he knew his time was up. Moments later, he heard Senkhara fall to the floor too.

The world around him began to blur and images of his life began to cover his vision. His first bike, the birth of his sister, his first day at Anubis house... then the day Nina arrived at Anubis. Something that amazed the brunette was how many images of Nina actually appeared, although it didn't surprise him, the least. He had never met someone more right for him than her, she was everything he could ever ask for. She was perfect.

There was a moment when Fabian realized that, once he died, anyone could have her and that saddened him. But at least she would be happy. He wanted, more than anything, her happiness...

Fabian forced his eyes closed and he felt himself become limp. He felt scared, sad and confused, but he didn't regret his decision... he would never regret this decision..."Goodbye Nina," he whispered. Then he was gone.

X-X-X

Nina had walked very slowly towards the brunette. Arguing with herself about his condition. 'He's fine. This is Fabian were talking about. Your protector. Remember?' These positive thoughts were quickly countered by another voice. 'He just stabbed himself, he obviously isn't OK. Don't fool yourself with these wishful thoughts. He is dead!' As much as Nina hated it, she knew that the second voice was right. Things like him living after getting stabbed in the chest is mad! and Nina knew it.

Patricia, Eddie and Alfie barged loudly though the door the second Nina reached Fabian's limp body. Nina would have jumped if she wasn't so caught up in her sorrowful thoughts. The trio didn't seem to notice Fabian at first, but once they saw the sobbing Amber and Nina crying hysterically they knew something bad must have happened.

"What's happened?" Patricia asked, her voice panicky and her skin pale. When neither girls responded, a sense of urgency seeped into her voice as she said, "Nina? Amber? What is going on? Where is Fabian?"

That was enough for Amber to burst into a fit of tears. She had always been like that, even though Fabian seemed pretty odd to her. It was then Eddie noticed a blood splatter on the floor next to Nina's feet and he shuffled hesitantly forward to see what it was. Once he saw the motionless and bloody brunette, a look of horror ceased his features. "No..." he gasped, his eyes widening. It was then Alfie and Patricia leaned towards Eddie and they too, saw their friend.

"I can't believe it!" Patricia gasped under her breath.

Nina hesitantly kneeled besides Fabian and with a deep breath, she rested her two fingers on his neck where the pulse was. Moments later, her hysteric crying intensified. "He's dead!" She screamed through her tears, "Fabian! Please wake up or something! Don't leave me here! I can't live without you!"

Nina spotted the blood-stained that still lay in Fabian's grasp and she yanked it out of his stone-cold grasp. He was freezing!

Nina stared at it for a few moments and her water flow of tears cleaned the blood off the knife. Steadying her hands, Nina rose the blade above her head, ready to stab the knife through her chest. But Eddie was quick to notice this, and he somehow managed to grab the girl by both her wrists, just as she began to bring the knife speeding through her chest.

"It won't help, Nina!" He yelled at her, still in shock. Nina continued to sob as he held her steady.

"He can't be dead! He can't! H-he...I-I...He... I..." Nina continued her crying fit, as her words spiralled into a frenzy in which nobody could make out.

"Nina, your locket!" Amber exclaimed, excitedly. Nina glanced down and sure enough, her Eye of Horus necklace was glowing a deep shade of scarlet. It quickly became brighter and Eddie jumped back in fright.

"What is going on?" He asked frantically. Small spirals of red light began to shoot away from the locket, untill eventually, the room glowed with the red light. The only thing not glowing red, was the frozen body of Fabian, which instead, glowed black.

"Your love for the anti-paragon is clear, Chosen One. But you must not be blinded by it." a voice echoed around the room. It was a very eerie voice, but it soothed the grief striken teens. "You must not let your feelings for the anti-paragon, endanger yourself and all the people you care about!"

Nina stood up and stepped away from the dead brunette, before asking, "Who are you?"

"A friend," the voice said softly. "The anti-paragon's destiny is to destroy you, Chosen one. Along with, destroy the Osirian. If you wish too, you may revive the anti-paragon, but caution, this boy has dark magic somewhere inside of him and if you revive him and he turns evil, he may ultimately destroy you. Be carefull Chosen One, you have no idea what he is capable of!" The voice faded into nothing and the locket began to glow brighter. Nina could save Fabian?

Nina thought over the voice's warning. If what the voice had warned her about was true, she was putting herself in grave danger. But she couldn't live without Fabian, and to her it was worth the risk. Nina lifted the Eye of Horus necklace away from her chest before kneeling besides Fabian's limp body. Nina aimed the locket at the boy and it began to glow a bright green.

This light quickly grew and soon, everything was so bright that nobody could see. As the light faded, Fabian was sitting up, looking alarmed. "Why did you do that?" he asked his girlfriend softly.

Tears welled up in Nina's eyes as the Sibuna's gasped. Nina flung her arms around Fabian as the tears flowed down her cheeks. "Your back!" she cried, "Your back..."

X-X-X

2 weeks later...

"I have to go!"

"No! I wont let you."

"Nina, you have to!"

"But I will miss you!"

"It's not like I won't ever see you again. I will come visit. It's just safer for you this way."

Fabian and Nina stood outside Anubis house. Fabian held a green rucksack which balanced on his shoulder and Nina looked close to tears. "I don't care if it's safer for me! Please don't go!" Fabian rested a reassuring hand on Nina's shoulder.

"Nina, I have to go. I can't risk putting you in any danger by staying here, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I hurt you!" Fabian reasoned.

Nina looked down in defeat, "Promise you will visit?" she said quietly.

"Promise!"

Nina hugged Fabian tightly and Fabian kissed her head, "I will see you soon."

With that, Fabian broke the embrace and turned on his heel, before jogging down the steps that lead to the front door. Nina murmured a 'Good bye' as he left. Fabian had made the difficult decision of leaving Anubis house about three days before he left, saying that he didn't want to risk Nina's and the rest of the Sibuna's safety. When Nina had tried to change his mind, Fabian had stated he was already being hunted by the police so he had to leave anyways, or he would be thrown in jail.

So, Fabian had packed his most precious belongings and some food and water before leaving the house. He had only told Nina that he was leaving and it wasn't very hard to keep as the other house members didn't know he was there with them. He had hidden in his and Eddie's room while Eddie smuggled food and water for him.

Fabian ran across the large field untill he reached the forest just beyond the school grounds. Slowing to a walk, he thought over where he was going to go. He was thinking he could forge a passport and travel to Egypt where he could stay with his Aunt and Uncle Matthew before getting a job or something.

He was just getting lost in his thoughts when a branch behind him snapped. Fabian jumped, before he wheeled around and came face-to-face with someone he was not expecting to see.

Victor.

Fabian eyes widened as he saw him staring at him curiously. Victor didn't seem surprised to see him, nor did he look scared. "Going somewhere, Mr Rutter?" he asked.

Fabian felt panic rise inside of him, "Umm...uh...I..." Victor waved his hand to stop him.

"I know what you are, Mr Rutter!" he said, crossing his arms. Fabian raised a brow.

"What do you me-" Fabian began, but Victor cut him off.

"I know you are the anti-paragon!" Fabian felt his jaw hit the floor.

"How do you-?"

"I have always known, Rutter," Victor stated. Stepping towards the teen

"How?" Fabian asked. His nerves growing. How could Victor know he was an anti-paragon? Sure, he was Victor, but still. And even if he did know, why didn't he tell him?

Victor sighed. "You can always tell, who is a fellow anti-paragon, Mr Rutter. You will soon see!"

It took Fabian a moment to realise what the house keeper had said, but once he thought it over a few times, Fabian's eyes widened even further. "Wait...are you saying?...you are an anti-paragon, too?"

Victor hesitated, before nodding. "Yes, I was Sarah's anti-paragon and Rufus was the Osirian!"

Fabian felt his heart stop. This made so much sense! That explained how they faded apart and what his relation was to Sarah despite living in her house. The massive jigsaw about Sarah's and Victor's relationship had finally been complete in Fabian's eyes and that lingering question has finally been answered.

Many more questions appeared in Fabian's mind and he didn't know which one to ask first. But before he got the chance to even, begin to think about that. Victor spoke again. "Where are you going to go?"

Fabian looked up at the house keeper, who was now staring at the sky. The sun was lowering now and the sky was a mixed pallet of orange, red and pink. "Egypt!"

"Scratch that!" Victor responded simply, "There is a house, not far from here, where you can stay. I will cover the fee's. Just say to the farmer that owns the house, Victor sent you!" Victor turned sharply on his heel and began to walk away from Fabian and out of the forest.

"Thank you!" Fabian murmured as Victor vanished out of sight.

Fabian glanced up at the sky and watched the swallows that swooped around carelessly, enjoying the freedom. Fabian realized that he was too free, free of Senkhara. However, a monster had been awaken inside of him during the possession thing and although it now lay sleeping, it could be awakened if Fabian made the wrong choice of going down the same path Senkhara did.

As Fabian began to walk down the dirt path of the forest, he swore to himself to never make that choice.

After all, Senkhara made the choice because she had never found love. What reason did Fabian have?

3,039 words! Longest chapter I have ever written!

I hope you liked the ending, and the twist I put in with Victor being the anti-paragon. As it makes sense to make him the anti-paragon of his time.

So, another story is finished. Thanks guys for all the support and the reviews. I have loved them all!

Another thing before I leave, a few readers has PMed me about a sequel to this story. I would like to say I haven't got a sequel in mind. Maybe, I will one day but that would probably not be for a long time.

Anyways, this is the end I guess... (Awww I am all sad now)

Please review and I hope you liked this fic.
