„ Okay, stop pulling me! This is a brand new jacket! „ Patricia growled. She didn't want to sound like Amber, but she quite payed for that jacket and she didn't want it ruined so soon.

At this point, Mara dragged her into the living room / dining room. And apparently, everyone was here, except Joy. Amber was reading a magazine, Alfie and Jerome were playing on their game - boys, Mick and Eddie were lazily throwing a ball to each other and Nina and Fabian were whispering something, probably about their latest clue. If they only knew what is about to happen...

„ Attention everyone! „ Mara said like she was a principal who was talking over the megafon. „ I have something important to ask. „ Everyone groaned. This must be somehow related to school.

„ So, I have found out about little club. Everyone is a part of it except me, Eddie and Mick. Care to explain why? „ she turned to Nina and Fabian who were sitting at the head of the table. Mick and Eddie looked too, confusion written all over their faces.

„ Ummm, I don't know what you're talking about „ Nina gave a nervous laugh.

„ Please Nina. How could you not tell us!? Why were we the only ones that didn't know that teachers were the ones behind Joy's kidnaping? „

„ Woah, someone was kidnapped? „ Eddie cried.

„ What? Teachers? „ Mick asked.

„ Yes, and they knew it and didn't even bother to tell us. Were we even safe? „

„ I think that we should them „ Amber sighed. They already knew so they were already dragged in. What are they going to lose?

„ No! I don't want them to suffer and go through what we've been through! I'm sorry but we are protecting you. „ Nina sighed. It was supposed to be a secret. How did she found about Sibuna anyways?

„ How are you protecting us if someone was freaking kidnapped?! „ Eddie snapped. It wasn't something that he did, he usually kept this cool, bad boy mask but Joy was kidnapped for God's sake.

„ You already know much! Mara, how did you find out anyways? „ Patricia asked and soon, all eyes were on Mara. Wait, when did this go other way around. Mara sighed.

„ Okay, I heard Joy and Jerome talking about it. I know, I shouldn't have eavesdropped but my curiosity got the best of me! „ she cried, saying all super fast.

„ What!? Jaffray, you dragging me into this? „ Jerome said, shocked.

„ Jerome! What the hell were you thinking?! „ Amber yelled. Thank God that Victor and Trudy weren't at the house at the moment. Victor had some important things to do and Trudy was visiting some relatives.

„ You two were at least supposed to whisper so something like this wouldn't happen! „

„ Oh, and you whispering while we are at breakfast and immediately stopping whenever someone comes in. Aren't you making it obvious, Martin? „ Jerome hissed. It was their fault as much as he's.

„ Guys, what is going on? „ Joy came into the room. She heard yelling and started to get worried. Her eyes were red and puffy and her nose was red too. She must have been crying.

„ Joy, stay out of this „ Fabian whispered.

„ No, it is her fault too! She was talking to Jerome and now Mara, Eddie and Mick know! „ Nina yelled. Soon, everything turned into a yelling spree. You couldn't hear your own thoughts.

„ Everyone, shut up! „ Alfie yelled, making everyone stop and look at him.

„ It doesn't matter anymore. They know, if they want to be a part of it, then so be it. If they don't want, good. We tried but failed. And we aren't supposed to have any secrets here, so what? They know, they are a part of our family too, they're not gonna rat us out. Don't you guys agree? „ Everyone stared at shock, shocked that those words were coming out of Alfie's mouth. As in Alfie Lewis. As in the guy who tried to blow up whole school in the air yesterday while mixing some chemicals.

„ I'm sorry, I overreacted but, I just didn't want to put you guys in danger. The less people know, the better „ Nina sighed

„ I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have eavesdropped, this obviously doesn't have to do anything with me. „

„ I think that we should finally tell them „ Amber looked at Nina with puppy eyes. She wanted that everyone in the Anubis House knows so they don't have to sneak out or lie to them, it made her to feel very guilty.

And, they did. They told them everything. About the Cup of Ankh, about Nina being The Chosen One, about the tunnels, about their latest clue, about everything.

„ There,now you know. „ Nina said, watching them carefully. It was a good feeling, like a big rock was finally gone of their chest. And next six words made them feel even better:

„ We promise to tell no one „

„ You know, this is all nice but... Am I the only one worried that Joy was kidnapped, for God's sake?! „ Eddie said making everyone laugh.

„ Don't ruin the atmosphere, Weasel „ Patricia hit him in the arm and everyone laughed once again as he winced in pain.

„ Fabes, can we talk? „ Joy asked, playing with the hedge of her shirt. That meant she was nervous.

„ Sure „

„ In private „ she added

„ Okay... „ They went into the hall. They thought that they were unnoticed but we are talking about Anubis House! Someone saw them and that person didn't like the idea of the two of them being alone, together...

A / N: Hey guys! Alexis here!

I am so so so so so so SO sorry for not updating this story. Two words: Writer's Block. And my stupid goal that every chapter has to have 1000 words or more.

But, it is finally here. Let me warn you! This is not much of a mystery and in this chapter, well, it wasn't as much as drama as in others, I guess.

Anyways, let me know what you think about this chapter!

R & R
