"What are you doing?!" Victor yelled at me. I didn't know what to say. What do I tell him?! That I was going through his stuff for the forbidden attic key?!

I looked at the stuffed bird in my lap. "Uuh. I was admiring this bird." I said politely. He eyed me.

"It is a raven!" He yelled. Well, one thing was for sure. Anyone could easily make this person mad. I stood up and placed the raven on his desk.

"Get out." He told me. I ran out with my hands fisted. Patricia and Jerome were waiting for me downstairs. Patricia started laughing.

"Seems, like you failed." She grinned at Jerome. Then I unfisted my hands and revealed the key. Patricia's mouth swung open.

"Wow." Jerome said very imprised.

Patricia folded her arms. She grunted. "Well, let's see if she can handle the attic." She said.

Amber suddenly came through the door. For once Amber and I had a real conversation. "You're going up to the attic?!" Amber yelled. I hoped that victor wouldn't hear.

"Yeah sure why not?"

"You know, it's like totally haunted up there." Amber seemed surprised. What was I supposed to say. I didn't believe that the attic was haunted.

The next day I walked to class by my self. I sat next to Fabian in sience. Even though I bearly knew him, it seemed like i've been knowing him in forever. I pulled out the locket and examained it.

"That's cool, does it have a picture inside?" Fabian asked. I was about to answer him when I remembered what Sarah had told me. She told me to keep it safe and protected from anyone.

"No." I said very rudely and put the locket in my shirt quickly. Fabian looked at me like I had something to hide.

"I'm sorry." He apologized. "I was only trying to make conversation."

Our teacher, Mr. Sweet, turned around. Mr. Sweet was a sience teacher and our principal all together. "Fabian, unless you have something important to say... I suggest you stay quite."

Fabian then looked back at his paper. I was about to apologize, but the bell rang. I walked to my locker. Fabian followed.

"Hey, sorry if I acted rude back there." He told me. I should've been the one apologozing. But if it suites him.

"No, i'm sorry." I apologized. "I've acted wierd and you were so nice to me."

Fabian opened his locker, which was next to mine. "Are you actually going up to the attic?" He asked me. I wasn't even sure if I was or not. We'll see what happens.

"Yeah." I said cautiously. Fabian smiled at me.

"You are tougher than you look."

"Well, i just like exploring."

That night at midnight everyone met up at mine and Patricia's room.

"Are you Nina Martin." Patricia said shining a flashlight at me with the lights off.

"Yes." I kind of chuckled. Was this a joke?

"Is there anyone here who can comfirm this?"

"Me?"

Alfie laughed. Patricia hit him in the stomache to shut him up.

"Nina Martin," Patricia continued. "You are here to prove you are brave enough to live in Anubis house, and sweat never to tell a living soul about this night."

"I swear." And with those words everyone walked out in front of the attic door. The stood in a narrow line shining the flashlight in thier faces.

"Unlock the door." Patricia demanded. I got my key and unlocked it. I opened the attic door and stepped in.

Patricia quickly closed the door and locked it. I was now locked inside a creppy attic. There were steps going up then it turned left.

"Let me out!" I yelled. I pounded on the door. I turned around and I swear I saw a shadow pass by. "There's someone up there!"

"You heard her, let her out!" I heard Fabian yelled at Patricia.

"Not untill you tell us about Joy." Patricia told me.

"I don't know anything!"

"Then you'll have to stay there untill morning."

"Alright, Patricia." I heard Patricia. "You had your fun now let her out!"

"Yeah Patricia, this is getting silly!" I heard Mara's worried voice.

"Last chance, Newbie." Patricia started. "What can you tell us about Joy?"

"Nothing!"

To be honest, I was scared. I honestly thought that would be my last day.

"You're not seriously going to leave her there all night are you?" I heard Fabian.

"Open the door." Amber said.

"Hurry!" Mara yelled.

"The zombies are comming!" Alfie worried.

Then everyone got quite. I heard footsteps. "What is going on here?!" I heard Victor's deep voice.

"We thought we heard mice." Patricia lied.

"Get to bed... all of you!" Victor yelled. I heard everybody scram. I knew Victor was going to come up the attic and find me. I went up and turned left. There was another door. I opened it and everything was old. Books on the floor. Boxes.

I tried hiding but there was nowhere to hide! I pulled out the locket and squeezed it. I ran so I can hide somwhere, then the wall opened reaveling a secret room...
