Impossible; House of Anubis (B1)

[36] House of Rendezvous

Thankfully it didn't take too long for her brother to come barging into her room. "Have you seen Nina or Amber anywhere?" He asked her causing Camilla to shoot her brother a look.

Dramatically Camilla glance around the room, before turning her attention back to her brother and stating with sarcasm dripping from her every word, "Hmmm empty room and no roommates downstairs... unless they are hiding under the bed Fabian I know as much as you do!"

"Calm with the sass, all I asked was a question," Fabian muttered as he sat down on Amber's bed pulling out his phone.

"A really stupid one." Camilla couldn't help but retort.

Fabian, of course, ignored Camilla's mutterings putting his phone to his ear, clearly phoning Nina trying to find out where she was. The twins were both silent for a few moments until ringing could be heard from behind Camilla. Both of them turned to see Nina's phone light up from on her bed.

"Of course, the one time she forgets her phone is the one time we need her," Camilla muttered softly as Fabian sent her an annoyed look. Camilla knew her comments weren't helping but she couldn't help but feel in her gut that something was wrong and they needed to find their friends ASAP.

"Come on Nina, where could you be...." Fabian started to whisper as he looked around the room.

"Attic?" Camilla suggested causing Fabian to shake his head. "Burnt-out tree? Cellar?" all these options Fabian shook his head at.

"Best trying them all, let's start with the attic," Fabian said after a moment's peace. Camilla was happy to agree if it meant they were trying to find their friends. As she went to turn she slipped on a bit of paper that had fallen by Nina's bed, thankfully her brother was there to catch her before she clattered to the ground ungracefully.

"What's that?" Fabian asked once Camilla was steady, grabbing the paper she had slipped on. Camilla recognised it as the card that Joy had sent Patricia.

"Isn't that..." Camilla started but stopped as she realised Fabian had come to the same conclusion she had. The girls were looking for Joy, they probably started in the clearing Patricia was meant to meet with Joy and went from there.

"We have to get going before it gets dark." Was all Fabian said before he rushed from the room, Camilla groaned and made sure to grab her jacket before rushing after her brother.

It seemed they were off on a nighttime adventure. Yay...

Camilla Rutter didn't do being cold. It was one of the few things she felt she could grumble about. Late nights – that was fine. Wet – that was fine. But the wind piercing her skin like thousands of little knives as she ran after her brother who was racing towards the bike shed was something she didn't like at all. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact 3 of her friends had all disappeared she knew she would have turned around right then and there and walk back to Anubis house and left her brother to quest on his own. However, her friends had disappeared and knowing how crazy their lives where at the moment Camilla couldn't rule out the fact that them being missing could also mean they were in danger. What kind of 'protector' was she (using Sarah's wise words) if she didn't go out there and find them?

So gritting her teeth to bite back any complaints about the wind Camilla jumped onto the footrests at the back of her brother's bike – the week Alfie broke her bike would be the week she needed it – and the Rutter twins were off. Camilla's hair flying everywhere as they sped from the shed and along the pathways of the school that took them to the clearing.
