Impossible; House of Anubis (B1)

[06] House of Locks

*Unedited* 

-------------------------------------------------------  

Camilla, Amber, and Fabian all had their ears pushed against the closed door of Camilla, Patricia and Nina's room. They were waiting for the indication that Victor had, in fact, left the hallway so they could sneak back out to save their friend. Finally, after what seemed like forever, they heard the lock of the attic door click once again, and Victor's heavy footsteps headed back to his office.

"I think he's gone," Camilla whispered, looking towards her friends, and they both nodded the same. Amber being the one closest to the door handle she, was the one who tentatively opened the door and peered out into the hallway.

All of them flinching as the door creaked noisily, though not stopping until they had all successfully snuck back into the hallway. "He didn't bring Nina down!" Amber whispered as they all came to the same conclusion. If he had, there would have been a lot more noise than just simply Victor's footsteps.

"Right, so let's get the key from Patricia," Fabian said, turning back to the door they had just come from to open it up again. But, instead of this time being sneaky, he all but forced himself into the room with his sister and Amber on his heels, "Patricia! Give me the key!" the girl looked groggily from her bed, she had ignored them all when they hid in the room, and it seemed to Camilla as if she had almost fallen asleep when they had barged back in again.

Sitting up, she slowly said, "I haven't got it." And as Amber claimed she was a liar, Camilla couldn't help but groan. Her friend was telling the truth, she knew Patricia's lying tick (not looking the person in the eye), and she was looking directly at Camilla, knowing that the girl knew that.

"What did you do with the key, Trish?" Camilla asked, causing her brother to look from the door to her,

"She's done something?"

"Trust me, Fabby, I know Trish." That was all Camilla said as her brother looked over her face, trying to spot something. Finally, he found whatever he was looking for and nodded his head before looking at Patricia, waiting for her to answer Camilla's question.

"i... I threw it out the window." She told them, causing them all to give her an exasperated look.

"You did what?!" Fabian exclaimed in a whisper. Before turning to look to Amber and Camilla, it seemed their idea of simply unlocking the door for their friend was out of the question. "Which window? This one?" He asked, looking at the one Camilla's bed was pushed against.

"Yeah." Patricia admitted, "I think it went into the bushes."

"We won't be able to look for it until the morning," Amber said allowed, giving Patricia an angry look.

"What a mess," Fabian spoke as he wandered away from the window.

"I think we should go tell Victor everything," Amber whispered, and Camilla wanted to agree with her as she knew it was the best way to get Nina out of the attic, but she didn't want her friend to get in trouble.

"No, we can't do that!" Patricia all but screamed, Camilla, grabbing onto Fabian's arm as he headed for the door, stopping him in his tracks.

"We can't just leave Nina in there!" Fabian angrily whispered to Patricia, but part of Camilla knew it was for her too as she had stopped him.

Before things could get worse, Camilla took a hold of her brother's arm. He looked like he was about to explode at Patricia for doing something incredibly stupid. However, just because she was the more quick-tempered of the two didn't mean that Fabian's temper was nonexistent. If anything, it was worse than hers. So instead of a shouting match, she decided it was better they talked about their next idea in the hallway where Fabian couldn't kill her friend. Thankfully, Amber understood what Camilla was trying to do, and the Blonde took her brother's other arm so they could get him out of the room between them both.
