"Where the heck is Mara?" Jerome asked. "Did she decide to take a shower aswell?"

"I'll go see" Patricia offered. "Who wants the baby?" Patricia asked, reffering to baby Brad in her arms. She knew Brad hated to be held by anyone but her and Eddie. But Eddie was feeding Bonnie so he couldn't hold both. Joy raised her hand and gestured for Patricia to hand him to her. Patricia reluctently and handed Brad to Joy, who cradled him softly. Surprisingly he didn't cry at all. Much to everyones surprise. "I'll be right back!" Patricia trailed up the stairs to face the bathroom. She tilted her head to see the bathroom door was open. "Mara seriously! Shut the door!" Patricia heard no noise. She slowly walked In. Hoping that Mara wasn't on the toilet or something. She stepped inside and looked around. Nobody in sight. "Okay Mara you got me!" Her voice was shakey. She felt a pain in her stomach. More of a nervous pain then anything else. "Mara its not funny anymore!" She stepped forward, feeling something underneath her thin flip flop, the horrible green ones that she hated, but Amber had forced her out of the house so quickly. that it was the only thing she could put on. She lifted her foot up and picked up the white piece of paper. Opening it slowly:

Mara's gone. What a shame. Her and Skye really miss you all. If you ever want to see them again bring us the Elixir, cup of Ankh and Mask of Anubis. Or else.

Patricia's eyes widened as she scanned each letter, jumping and darting down the stairs into the living room.

"Patricia? Where's Mara?" Jerome asked Patricia, who looked like she was about to pass out on the ground.

"I don't know! Rufus. Rufus has her! Look!" Patricia stretched her arm out to give Jerome the letter as she leaned over her knees.

"What does it say?" Nina asked curiously looking over Jerome's shoulder at the note. "Jerome, what does it say!" Jerome spun round to her. His face red.

"He has Mara!" Jerome shouted, making everyone jump backwards at his voice. "Rufus has my girlfriend! Where's the cup, elixir and mask. Give it to Rufus and we get Mara back!" Nina shook her head in a relaxed way.

"We don't know where the elixir is. Victor died before he could tell us!" Nina reminded him. "And they can't have the mask!"

"Why not?"

"Because they will go straight down to hell again! They will want me with it!"

"So?"

"Nobody is taking Nina anywhere!" Fabian snapped putting his arm protectively around Nina, who moved towards him and rested her head on his chest. "We're gonna get Mara AND Skye back. Rufus and Senkhara get nothing. Do I make myself clear?" Everyone nodded but Jerome. "Jerome! I said, do I make myself clear?" Jerome spat a nod out, before picking up his son Leo and balancing him on his hip.

"We're going home" Jerome turned around to face the door.

"Nobody is leaving this house until we know its safe. We are all gonna stay here. Its the biggest house and everyones used to it" Nina demanded. She was never normally like this but it was safest. "Everyone in?"

"We're in!" Amber squeeled excitedly. Alfie nodded smiling.

"Me and Yacker are in" Eddie said smiling. Patricia smiled.

"I apologise in advance for slimeball over here eating all your food!" Patricia smiled.

"Don't worry about it!" Nina laughed. "Jerome? Joy?"

"Count us in" Joy exclaimed.

"Jerome? You in?"

"Yes, I'm in" Jerome let out a little smile as he said it. "Looks like the gangs back together" everyone smiled at each other in agreement.

"Okay, so each of us will go to your houses and get some stuff, one couple at a time though, so nobody suspects anything. If you can, store the clothes in a cool box or in a picnic basket or under a pram, we don't need cots because we have some moses baskets for the twins in the attic and some travel cots. If somebody's watching us then we need to give as little away as possible. Only bring what you really need. Nappies, bottles, clothes ect. Not to much make up Amber! Because Patricia and Eddie need baby supplies so they go first okay. Be as quick as you can. Okay?" Patricia and Eddie nodded in unison and stood up. Eddie laid Bonnie down on the sofa to continie sleeping and walked out, closing the door behind them.

"Make up rations, Amber how are you going to live?" Alfie joked, trying to lighten the mood.

"I'm not. My lifes over" Amber mumbled.

"Amber you'll be fine. Promise" Nina assured her. "Our main priority is keeping everybody safe!"

After everybody had brought in there stuff they were all sat at the huge dining table.

"Right. So I have written down where everyone is going to sleep, its all set up" Nina began. "Is everyone ready because its confusing?" "Ready!" They all said together.

"Okay, so in mine and Fabian's room: me, Fabian and Sarah" Nina took a breath. " In Sarah's room will be Amber, Alfie and Skye"

"Right!" Amber said smiling.

"In Charlie's room will be Jerome and Leo"

"Got it!" Jerome said.

"In Amelia's room will be Gen and lil Amber"

"Yay" Amber shouted. They always got confused, so it was Amber and lil Amber.

"In the downstairs spare room is Patricia, Eddie and the twins"

"Noted" Patricia nodded.

"Joy will be in lil Amber's room"

"Thank you!" Joy smiled.

"Demi and Tasie in the upstairs spare!"

"Awesome!" Demi said.

"And finally Charlie in the game room!"

"Heck yeah!" Charlie shouted.

"Everyone got it?" Nina asked one last time.

"Got it!" Everyone said smiling.

"Awesome. So everyone go get settled in!" Everyone stood up and picked up there bags, walking to there rooms. "Dinners at 5:30!"

"We've got 19 people in our house including us, how is this gonna work?" Fabian asked kissing Nina's head.

"We'll find a way, we always do"

"Bagzy not doing dinner!"

"That's not fair!"

"Fine. We do it. Together"

"Deal!" They shook hands and smiled. "Or we could order pizza?"

"That's sounds better!"

"Deal on that!"
