It was midnight and the occupants of 13 Bannerman Road were lost in a world of dreams well Sarah Jane was at least. A hooded figure rounded the corner onto Sarah Jane's drive and looked up to the window of Luke's room. She smiled as she turned off her image translator and began to scale the side of the house. Once at the window she gently pressed against it and pulled it open. As quiet as a snake she snuck inside before transforming back into her human form. She smiled as her eyes fell upon the form of the sleeping boy. Slowly she removed the dart from her cloak before aiming it at the boy and throwing it into his side. The dart disappeared as soon as it made contact but that didn't matter for the poison was already seeping into the boy's bloodstream. The hooded figure smiled sadly before whispering "you could have been so useful to me archetype but you chose the wrong side". With that she let herself out the house and ran to her secret hiding place ready to watch her plan unfold.
The next morning
Sarah Jane was downstairs making toast for Luke, as she did most mornings, some children may have preferred a cooked breakfast but Sarah Jane knew Luke preferred toast if it meant that kitchen wasn't burnt down. "Luke come on your toast is getting cold" she called. No reply. Sarah Jane sighed as she headed upstairs to find Luke. "You'll be late" she said as she entered his room. However, what greeted her chilled her to the core. Luke was lying in a tangle of sheets on his bed, sweat was pouring from his face and Sarah Jane thought that snow had more colour than Luke currently did. Instantly Sarah Jane was at his side shaking him awake. "Come on Luke, wake up its mum please wake up". Luke slowly began to stir, "mum" he croaked "I'm not feeling good". Sarah Jane's heart seemed to stop as she heard these words. But Sarah Jane was not a woman who let panic takeover, "come on Luke we need to see Mr Smith" Sarah Jane was on her feet removing Luke's covers. "Oh but mum I'm so tired" Luke complained as he struggled to sit up. "I'll help you come now Luke", Sarah Jane supported Luke on her shoulders as they slowly made their way to the attic. "Mr Smith I need you" Sarah Jane called as they entered the room". "Good morning Sarah Jane, I see that Luke is unwell" Sarah Jane struggled with Luke to the sofa before lying him down and searching for a blanket, as she searched she looked desperately at Mr Smith "Please scan him and see what has caused this Mr Smith please" Sarah Jane was on the verge of tears. "According to my results, Luke has been poisoned by Algernon its a very rare poison known only to the Bane, it has a mortality rate of 50%: the cure is a mixture of glucose, sugars and a secretion from the Bane who administered the poison, effects include nausea, profuse sweating, fatigue, vomiting in the early stages, this is followed by unconsciousness and eventually death if not treated." Sarah Jane's world came crashing to a halt as Mr Smith relayed the information. She glanced at Luke and saw the fear evident in his eyes ...he needed her and she wouldn't let him down now.
