Chapter 1

Nina's POV

I woke up in Fabian's arms as usual. He was still asleep. I climbed out of his arms and looked at the clock. It was 8:30. I wondered why nobody was awake, usually everyone was eating breakfast. I put on my slippers and dressing gown. I looked at my calendar; it was the 1st of April 2015. I stretched out my arms and walked into Addison's nursery. It was purple and turquoise with patterns across it, Amber had helped us sort out the nursery before Addy was born. I picked the 11 month old baby out her cot and carried her down the stairs. Every time I looked at Victor's old office, I shuddered. That damn bird got me every time. I was grateful that Victor left Anubis house to me in his will and that I now share it with my family (Fabian, me and Addison), Amber, Alfie and there daughter Annabella and Patricia and Eddie, but I wasn't so happy that he had also requested that his office not be taken down, so that blasted bird Corbiere was always staring at me. I shook off my annoyance as I reached the bottom and walked into the living room and sat Addy in front of the TV. I turned on the stove and began to make her breakfast. I made some pancakes. "Ta" she said as I handed them to her. They were a golden brown colour with chocolate spread on, just how she liked it. She had light brown hair and Fabians blue eyes, her big eyes and long eyelashes made her too cute too look at. Fabian came in and kissed my cheek.

"Morning sweetheart" he said.

I smiled at him and turned around, kissing him more passionately.

"Fabina" Amber giggled walking in.

"Morning Amber" I smiled. "Where's Bells?" I always called Annabella 'Bells', it was much easier, Amber wasn't too happy about the idea though.

"Annabella is upstairs with Alfie, he is bringing her down soon" Amber moaned.

"It's my turn to make breakfast so go get everyone down her stat" Amber nodded and turned around. I walked towards the kitchen when I felt slightly sick so I rushed to the toilet where I threw up. Trust me it wasn't pretty. I cleaned up my mouth and shouted Amber; I dragged her to my room.

"What's up Neen's" she said.

"I'm late" I gave her 'the look'.

"You mean you're..." before she could say anything I put my hand over her mouth. She licked my hand.

"Eww Amber" I wiped my hand on my dressing gown and put my hand on her shoulder.

"Yayy!"

"Shhh, you can't tell anyone yet, promise" I demanded. She nodded and we walked back downstairs to see everyone sat at the table. I looked over at Bells, she was only 2 but she was one of things beautiful things I have ever seen (Besides Addy of course!) she has dark brown hair like Alfie's and Amber's big blue eyes. Her skin was tanned and she had rosy cheeks. One look and all people could say was 'Aww'.

I missed Trudy's cooking, when the school shut off the boarding area Trudy went travelling with Fabian's uncle. I think they had something going on but I was too embarrassed to say anything. I made toast, pancakes and crumpets and put them on the table. We all sat in the same seats that we did when we were boarded here. We didn't change a lot when we got given the house, victor brought it when they shut it off and handed it to us when he died. The day he died was a shock to us all, and he left everything to us, he said we were the only people he could trust. Amber and Alfie had the bottom floor rooms, I and Fabian have the middle floor and Patricia and Eddie have the attic and Trudy and victor's room. On top of the fireplace was the mask of Anubis, the cup of ankh and all the amulets were in a frame, right in the middle was a picture of us all at graduation.

"Alfie stop acting like a baby" Amber shouted smacking his arm. He was making chimp noises at Bells.

"Amber, remember what happened when Nina said that" Alfie joked. She didn't look happy. I smiled at Alfie, remembering then. I enjoyed those days. We haven't had a mystery in years, not that I was complaining from all the things that went wrong. Me and Amber are always bored. We don't have to go out to work. I am an author and Amber is a fashion designer so we work from home.

Fabian kissed my cheek. "See you later" he said, he kissed Addy and walked out. He worked as an Egyptologist, searching ancient Egypt.

"Bye" I smiled. Alfie, Eddie and Patricia followed him. Eddie and Patricia were artists and owned and art shop. Alfie was an actor in films and TV shows. It was the one thing Amber would let him be. At first he wanted to be a comedian but Amber wasn't keen so he went for the next best thing. He is starring in a horror film called 'Galactic Ghost' about Aliens.

"What do you want to do today" I asked Amber, who was feeding Bells.

"I need to go shopping" Amber said, she always wanted to shop.

"You always want to go shopping"

"Food shopping"

"Oh, ok then, I will go get dressed" I picked up Addy and walked upstairs.
