Nina's POV
And then I woke up... it was a weird dream really. Psst yeah, because I'm so in love with Eddie. We kissed and I mean I felt something, I cannot lie. But I would never proclaim that I'm in love with him when I'm in love with Fabian. Fabian gave everything up for me and though I didn't ask him to do that, I still owe him. Yes, I know what your thinking, you don't treat love like that, and you would be right. But it's because I love him that I know there is so much I owe him.
Later that night, Eddie came upstairs and told me that he had the same dream. Of course we kept it to ourselves, for now at least, but does that mean we share some kind of power or something? Well, since I know how this story ends I won't spoil it for you, because this is just the beginning of a mystery...

Authors POV
When Saturday afternoon came around, Jerome set out a plan with both Victor and James to kidnap Fabian at the party. Jerome overheard Fabian saying he was not going to the party–to much homework, he said.
So, James would call Fabian out and make him come with him someplace out of the house and they would take him someplace else where no one would ever find him.
Almost everyone in the house were getting ready that afternoon. Amber volunteered to do everyone's hair and Joy asked to do their makeup which was all done in Joy's room. Once Amber, Patricia, and KT were done, they went into their own room to show Nina their outfits.
"You guys are gonna look hot!" He smirked.
"Awwww thanks Neens." Amber smiled.
"I'm hoping I pick up a boy tonight." KT giggled.
"What about Ben?" Precious asked.
"Ha! As if. Yeah we broke up because he didn't like the whole long distance thing." KT said with an attitude.
"Well, I know about you two but I really wish you could come, Nina." Amber pouted.
"It will be fine." Nina rolled her eyes. "Fabian will be here to make sure nothing happens to me.
"Oh, alright." Amber hugged her.
"You still have that phone with your right?" Patricia asked, Nina nodded. "Okay well if something happens, call us."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Nina smiled. "Now go get dressed. You all have a party to attend."
~~~
Downstairs in Eddie and Fabians room, Eddie was getting dressed for the party as well. Eddie was starting to get nervous around Fabian, because he knew that sometime, somewhere, Nina was going to tell him about their connection.
"You sure you don't wanna go, dude?" Eddie asked him.
"Nah I'm good." Fabian looked up from his Egyptian mythology book, "I have something planned for Nina tonight anyways."
Eddie looked at him like he had grown 10 heads, "Shhh, not so loud."
"Oops, sorry." Fabian smiled innocently.
"What do you have planned?" Eddie asked.
"Well, that's for me to know and you to maybe find out later."
"Thats rude." Eddie rolled his eyes. "Just make sure you be careful okay?"
"I always am." Fabian said. "How are you and Patricia?"
Eddie bent over to grab his shoes by his bed and started to put them on. "We are fine."
"Just fine?" Fabian asked.
"Yes, fine." Eddie smiled. "What's wrong with that?"
"Oh, oh nothing." Fabian put his hands up.

Later that evening, everyone met in the hall way downstairs to walk over to the party, but when the girls came downstairs, their dates dropped their mouths almost to the floor in amazement.
"What?" Amber asked them, descending the stair case.
"You're so beautiful." Alfie held out his hand for her to take, but then glanced over and saw Willow give a sad expression, "You all do." He corrected.
"Awwwe, well thanks, Alfie." Amber kissed his cheek.
Everyone took their dates and walked out the door. Amber and Alfie. Patricia and Eddie. Joy and Jerome.
"There one more couple missing." Fabian said to himself.
"You got that right." Mara said, coming down the steps.
"Oh, oh hey, M-Mara." Fabian stuttered, looking down at the floor.
Mara smiled brightly, "it's not too late to change your mind and come to the party, you know?"
"I have you know, stuff." Fabian still looked at the floor, but then glanced at her. "You look great."
He giggled, "Thank you." He walked up to him and laid her hand on his chest, "You know, I could just stay here with you, maybe have a party of our own."
"What?" Fabian looked up at her.
At this time, Nina was coming to the railing at the top of the steps.
"Maybe watch some movies or something." Mara said, getting more closer to him.
"Mara, I told you, we are over." Fabian moved away from her.
She scoffed, "Fine. Be by yourself." And walked out the door to the party.
"But I won't be." He said to himself, and walked up the steps to Ambers room to
See Nina, but saw she was already at the top of the stairs.
She was standing there awkwardly with her right hand in her left arm, and a worrisome look in her eyes.
"Hey, you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She starred at him with a different kind of spark in her eyes.
"Want to come down stairs?" He asked and she followed him downstairs to his room.
When she followed him to his room and the door was open and then closed again, she revealed a tiny table with two chairs. In the table was Nina's favorite American dish– tomato soup with grilled cheese.
"What's all this?" She asked, astonished.
"I wanted to do something nice for you." He smiled.
She giggled, "Is this a date?"
"I dunno, do you want it to be?" His face turned a bright red as She shook her head. He led her over to the table, pulled out her chair, and scooted her in and they began to eat.

Later on at the party, Jerome slipped out of Isis house and confirmed a text to James on starting the plan. As he was finishing, Joy came into view.
"Hey, what are you doing out here?" She asked.
"I was just texting Poppy." He lied. "You look really good tonight." He looked down at her outfit.
"Thank you." She blushed. "Are you coming back inside?"
"Yeah, yeah. I'll be there in a moment okay?" He said, "Save me a dance." He winked and she walked away.
Once James received the message, he opened the doors of Anubis House and shouted Fabian's name.
"Rutter! I need a word with you!" And Fabian peeked his head out of the door to his bed room, and closed it behind him.
"Yes, yes sir?" He answered.
"Come with me!" He gestured his hand toward him, meaning to come out the door.
"Not unless you tell me why." Fabian retaliated.
"Mr. Sweet wants to speak with you in his office." James said.
Fabian hesitated for a moment. He looked back and forth from his room, to the door, then back at James.
"Something wrong?" James asked.
"Uh, um, no, no sir." Fabian stuttered, once again.
"Great! Now come on. Mr. Sweet is a busy man." And they both walked out of the door.
Once they were almost to the school, someone in a black hoody grabbed Fabian from behind and injected him with some kind of serum that made him pass out on the ground. With that, James and the hooded figure carried him away where he would never be seen again...
