"Please dad! We will only need a bed for one night and you haven't had a massive intake in Anubis House, Dexter told us!" Eddie pleaded, Fabian Patricia and Eddie were stood in Sweeties office trying to get extra credit for college by helping out at their old school.
"Fine, yes ok Eddie enough! I give in. Do I have to sign anything or email anyone?" Mr Sweet put his glasses on. Fabian took a step forward.
"Erm yeah, could you email Mr Osguthorpe please." He put a letter on Sweeties desk.
"Ok thank you Fabian," there was a powerful knock at the door. "Right, yes, go and sort accommodation out with Trudy and I will come and see you later. You are dismissed, go."
They opened the door to find Victor stood to the right. They ran past him without making eye contact and he went into Sweeties office slamming the door behind him.
"I hope you haven't filled my place Eric."
"No, no I have left it for you like you asked."
"Good, good."
"Victor just tell me something, you said you were leaving with the touchstone, you haven't brought it back have you?"
"Eric do you think I am a fool!" Sweetie sank in his chair. "The touchstone is back in King Tuts tomb, there is a trusted guide making sure it stays there."
"Good, why did you want to return to Anubis house if your destiny is still being fulfilled?"
"Eric, I found something greater than you can imagine there to be, something we have been looking for for almost 25 years, the book of Isis was right were the touchstone should have been."
"Victor you haven't stolen it have you?"
"Of course not! I traded it, they got the touchstone and we have the book of Isis, we can finally make the elixer and have eternal life like we planned."
"What are you three doing back?" Trudy walked out of the kitchen and hugged everyone of them.
"We need some extra credit, like work experience if you like, for college and Sweetie said we could come back here and help with the school and Anubis for 1 day a week, if it's ok with you Trudy." Patricia said eyeing Cassie who was sat at the table staring dreamily at Eddie.
"Of course it is my lovelies, we have the exact number of beds left as well, there has been a really low intake of boarding students this year."
"Yeah Dexter told us." They all began talking and a girl walked in from the hall. She was fair skinned and had midnight black hair. Fabian watched her walk in and sit on the sofa next to Erin. He recognised her but was failing to put name to face and face to where he had seen her before.
