Chapter 1- The First Victim
The students sat down after yet another letter. How did it get to this? Rufus had just turned up again one day demanding this thing called 'The Stone Of Anubis'. They didn't know what it was. Just that they had to find it before another life was taken. Mick was already gone because they refused to look for it. He was missing. Rufus said he was dead but they knew he was being held captive. They had to find it.
"Ok so we have the first clue" Joy said gently looking down at a white piece of paper in her hands. "Are we ready?"
"Just open it Joy!" Jerome boomed. "We've waited long enough for this!"
"Ok" Joy opened the piece pf paper and stared at it.
"Well what does it say?" Mara asked nudging closer to Joy.
"This started of as a quest. It has turned into so much more. I'm on to you. I have the stone. I. Beat you. Ha. If you want it back find out who I am and stop me" Joy threw the piece of paper in the middle of the table and puhed her head into her hands.
"That can't be a note. This is a joke right?" Fabian asked looking around at Jerome. "Is this a joke?"
"I swear it has nothing to do with me!" Jerome said holding his hands up. "Alfie?"
"Nothing to do with me I promise" Alfie spoke.
"So what do we do now? We can't just sit around with Mick being held by rufus!" Nina shouted standing up out of Fabian's grip. "Someones messing with us. They have that stupid stone and we're going to get it back!"
"We can't just go searching random people's house looking for a stupid stone!" Mara spoke."This person has to know us really well. They have to be watching at all times. They have to know where and when we are out and what we're doing"
"Victor?" Amber suggested. "You know what he was prepared to do to stop Sibuna!"
"Amber sh!" Fabian hushed giving her an 'are you kidding me' look. "I got a text from Mick!" He was staring at his phone. "Its Rufus on his phone"
"What does it say?" Nina asked looking over his shoulder.
"Each of you will get a message. When you do it means your next to come to me for a while. I suggest you find my stone quickly. Or else. You ill receive the first message in precisly 7 minutes. When you receive it I will take you" Fabian's eyes were filled with fear.
"What do we do?" Joy asked shaking.
"Everyone go get your phones and put them on the table" Nina shouted. Joy, Mara and Eddie ran to there rooms to get there mobiles. Everyone else' were on the table when they got down. They put it in front of them.
"Its me. I know its me" Alfie said frowning.
"No its not its me" Jerome corrected.
"It will be me!" Joy snapped. A phone beeped and at that moment they knew who's phone it was.
