The House Of Anubis

1. Welcome To Anubis House

1. Welcome To Anubis House

My heart was beating fast. I felt, wierd. Was this the right place for me? I had gotten a scholarship to go to the Ra Academic Boarding School in England. Which meant I had to leave the United States behind. My Grandmother raised me since I was a child.

"Where shall I drop you off Nina Martin?" The Taxi Man asked. We entered the school while I searched through my papers. Then it struck me. I had lost the papers!

I looked through the folder I had on my lap. And with a relieve smile I said. "It says here...The House of Anubis." The man then drove around the school. I wasn't really a fan of british accients but now I had to get used to it.

"Here we are." The man said. He stopped the car and got off. He opened my car door and I got off. I looked everywhere. This was the biggest school ever. People walking everywhere. The grass was vivid green.

"I'll take your luggage meet me at the house in five minutes while you explore." He said and took my luggages. He left and took a trip around the school. I walked everywhere. Wait... what if I got lost? I decided to follow the guy.

"Hey! Wait up!" I yelled. I ran to him when I accidentally bumped into a girl with red hair. A girl next to her looked at me as if I were a magician. A guy next to her also smiling at me as if he kown me for years. He had black hair. But the red head looked disgusted by me. "I'm so sorry!" I yelled and went back to following the man.

When I caught up to him I saw the hugest house ever. "How much would that be?" I asked politely. The man seemed hard working after all.

"It's all right." He said, "It's your first day here at England. For you, free. Well, I have to catch another stop. See you around Nina Martin." He got inside the car and left and waved at me. I waved at him back.

After he left I turned around and towards me was my new house. I was ready to enter. I went up to the house and knocked it. The knocking handle was a lion and the handle stood in his mouth. Once I knocked a couple of times the door slowly opened. I peeked inside to see if anyone was in there.

"Hello?" I asked loudly. I rolled my luggage in as I walked in. "Anybody here?" I asked. The stairs had a design of an eye of the handles. There was a mummy tomb against the wall. A small circular table with a phone on it beside the Stairs.

I turned around to close the door. When I turned back I saw a man standing in front of me. He was tall... old too. He wore a working robe.

"Who are you?" He asked loudly. His voice was deep and demanding. He would had made a good villian in a cartoon movie or show.

"I'm Nina Martin." I replied. "I got a scholarship and they told me to come here." I tried my best to explain my self. He semmed like a person with anger issues.

He circled around me like he knew who I was. Then he took out a tiny watch out of his pocket and said: "You're late. Two weeks late." Busted. I knew I was going to get in trouble for this.

"Yeah, i'm sorry." I said, "My Grand and I didn't find out about the scholar ship until a week later and-" Then he intturupted me.

"I'm not interested in why the reason why you are late." He said as he continued to circle around me. This man seemed rude.

"I am Victor Roddenmae Jr." He continued, "I am the care taker of this House. This House has been aroud for many years. Although, it was not nammed Anubis until 1806."

Then out of the blue a woman with gloves came through the hallway door. "Victor!" She yelled out. "What are you doing? Make the new student fell at home."

I looked at her ready so she can introduce herself. "I'm Trudy." She finally said, "Your house mother." She guided me through the living room. There was two sofas and a table in between them. Farther behind was a dining table. A little window reaveled a kitchen at the other door.

I looked at the pictures at the wall and saw one with all the students. "Who are they?" I asked pointing at the picture. Victor got the frame and looked suspicious.

"Only some of the students, of course." He said sarcasticly, I think. I really didn't care about it and at that moment a painting caught my eye. A painting of a lady and man with a somewhat upside down red eye in the middle.

Victor noticed how I was looking gracefully at the picture. "That is Mr. and Mrs. Frobisher Smythe." He said, "They died." I decided to stop looking at the picture and continue on looking at the house. Victor took me upstairs.

"Downstairs is where the noys sleep and upstairs is where the girls sleep." He said very strictfully. He took me to a room where there was one bed on one side. And another that was empty. I noticed a picture on the door of the red headed girl and that one girl that was with her.

"Who are they?" I asked pointing at the picture. Trudy gracefully answered: "Oh, that Patricia and that's Joy."

Patricia was the red headed girl and the other girl was Joy. Victor took the picture and crumbled it up. "Joy... is gone now." He said. Wait, didn't I just see Joy? Maybe a little mix up. Once he finished crumbling up the picture he tossed it into the trash can next to the empty bed. "You may unpack your things here." He pointed to the empty bed.

"And one more thing before I leave." He said, "Down into the cellar or up to the attic is strictly out of bounds, understood?" He seemed worried when he told me. Eh, what the heck. It's just and attic and a cellar. "Okay." I relied.

After Trudy and Victor left I started unpacking my stuff. I lay down my blanket on the bed. I decided to keep my clothes inside my luggage until my roommate comes. When I finally finished I put down a little frame of my mother on my drawer. My parents passed away in a car crash when I was a child.

Then someone opened the door and I saw Patricia come in. I stood up to greet her. "Hi!" I said nicely. She seemed shocked.

"Who are you?!" She yelled, "And where all Joy's things?!" She seemed very worried about Joy.

"I'm Nina." I said. "I'm your new roommate." That made Patricia's mouth hang.

"No you aren't!" She yelled. "Joy is! Now where is she?!"
