House of Anubis: Reunion

Unexpected Arrival

Jerome rolled his eyes after Eddie, Fabian, and Alfie slammed his door closed. He threw the comic from his hands and got out the papers he took from Joy. There was a full page of hieroglyphics, and on the other paper, the translation to the hieroglyphics.

"Poor Joy. Too bad she could never get this to Fabian or the others in time," Jerome laughed as he began tearing up the papers. "It's a shame indeed."

Hearing a ring of the doorbell made his ears perk up, as well as his head.

"Who could that be?" he asked himself.

~~~~~
"What's the worst it can be?" Eddie suggested. "I'll open it."

Eddie gave a look to the others. He took a deep breath, and made his way to the door.

His hand grasped the doorknob. He unlocked the door with his other hand and then opened it up. The others were ready to jump back until they saw a familiar face, except for KT.

"Hi, guys," Mick greeted.

"Mick? What're you doing here?" Fabian asked.

"I made it on the first flight I could get. I'm able to spend the rest of the summer here. Hope you haven't done too much without me."

"Of course not," Eddie commented.

"Where's Jerome and Joy?"

"Jerome's in his room, and Joy is-" Nina tried to respond.

"-had to go to the hospital," KT saved. "Her mother is really ill."

"Oh, well sorry to hear. And you are?"

"KT."

"And you are?" Mick looked at Willow.

"Oh, I'm not surprised you don't remember me. We knew eachother in freshman year. I'm Willow."

"Oh, of course."

Everyone was staying silent.

"Does someone mind showing me to my room?" Mick asked.

"Right," Alfie responded. He guided Mick to an empty room quickly.

"Are we telling him? Can we trust him?" KT asked as soon as he was gone.

"Let's just say, the only reason we might tell him is because we may have no other choice," Fabian replied.

"He's not the Sibuna kind of person?"

Fabian shook his head.

"Are we forgetting to discuss Joy?" Patricia questioned. "She could be dead for all we know!"

"Shh..." Mara hushed. "She's not dead."

"Oh, have you not heard Mara? An evil god has possessed someone in this very house."

"Maybe we should go looking for her," Willow suggested. "Under the house maybe."

"How brilliant Willow. Like any of us are in the mood for that," Amber said harshly.

"No. We might have to," Nina retaliated. "Right now."

"Maybe tomorrow," Fabian suggested. "When we can start a bit earlier."

Everyone agreed and went back to their rooms. Alfie left Mick alone and went to his room as well.

~~~~~
The Sibuna gang, including Willow, all huddled in the kitchen in the morning.

"There are three tunnels, so, three in each?" Fabian asked.

"Wouldn't it be a bit weird if all of us were just gone," Nina pointed out. "Some of us should-"
