Title: Mysteries of Isis
Chapter 7: House of Diaries
Author's Note: You guys are awesome! I'm finally 11, Yay! Not sure if anyone was confused about this but I'll clarify. So Wen, her real name is Gwendolyn, her nickname is Gwen and every once in a while somebody calls her Wen. Disclaimer: Guess I haven't done this for a while so …. I don't own House of Anubis, I wish I did.
House of Diaries
Sunny needed to find a secret that was good enough to serve as admission to Wings.
Sunny sat on her bed, her back on the white wall staring at Wen's bed. She looked down at the blank index card.
What should I write? A secret….
Sunny bit her lip in annoyance. It was a habit of hers just like cracking her knuckles when she was anxious. She was going to write that but stopped herself. That secret was obvious to anyone who paid attention to her.
Sunny sighed and looked at the clock. Two minutes had gone by. She looked down and smiled. A cartoon-like light bulb shone over her head. She smiled and wrote her secret down. It read:
Mona Jefferson is my mother.
She smiled as she saw Lilene look up from her notebook page.
The brunette girl said" Do you have your secret written down?"
Sunny smiled and nodded.
...
Troy walked up the stairs and saw Anne. The blonde smiled at him and asked" What are you doing up here?"
He smiled and said" Just coming to ask Sunny how she's doing."
Anne raised an eyebrow and said
"You want to ask Sunny? I think there's some romance going on."
Troy grew pale and Anne smiled and laughed "Just kidding!" She patted his shoulder and walked down the stairs chuckling as she entered the living room.
He grabbed the index card in his hand firmly and walked over to Lilene, Gwen and Sunny's room. He knocked on the door and seconds after, Sunny opened the door.
She grinned and said"Hey, come in" she stepped to the side and troy stepped in and greeted both girls.
Lilene was sitting on her bed a small wooden jewelry box in her petite hands. The girl said "OK everybody will put their secret inside the box. First are your names written on the outside of your papers?"
Troy nodded and so did Sunny, her golden amber curls bouncing. Ilene grinned and continued"OK, everybody put you secrets inside.
Lilene placed her slip of paper inside the box and passed the box to Sunny. The American placed an index card into the box and she passed it to him. He dropped the paper into the box and gave it back to Lilene.
Lilene grabbed the box and closed the lid. That's when he noticed that the jewelry box had a lock. She walked over to her bed and grabbed a golden key. She picked up the box and carefully locked the box.
The brunette motioned for the other two teens to follow her and they did. She walked over to Anne and Janine's room and walked in. Anne looked startled and put down her Twilight book.
Lilene walked up to Anne and Troy noticed that the golden key was still in her small hands" Anne hide this key. Never give it to Me, Troy or Sunny unless we tell you it's a dire situation. Understood?"
Anne raised an eyebrow and grabbed the key" Okay" she said, stretching the "a". The blonde grabbed the key and continued reading her book.
Troy and Sunny followed the brunette as she walked back to her room.
...
Gwen was in the living room when he sat next to her. Leo sat next to her on the blue, soft couch and said" Hello"
Wen frowned and said" Hello" Her dark amber eyes studied him.
Leo said" Wen, I know I am very attractive but no need to stare." A small smile made his lips curl upward.
She rolled her eyes and stood. She looked around the living room and asked him" Where are the cameras? I know you're videotaping this Leo!"
He chuckled and answered "Cameras? But I wish I was videotaping this, you can be so overdramatic sometimes." He continued to laugh.
She sat back down. Their knees and shoulders touched and she scooted away from him. He raised an eyebrow and asked her" What? Scared? Is Wen scared?"
She looked at him and said" You think I'm scared of you?"
He nodded; still smiling. Wen was stiff since her body touched his and she let her body relax. She sighed.
If only I could wipe that smile off his face. That adorable, cute…caring smile. His eyes, they were a beautiful gray color. Like an owl…..
"What am I thinking?!" she blurted. Leo frowned, his face puzzled.
"What do you mean?" he asked her. She pursed her lips after noticing she said that aloud.
Leo replaced his worried look with a smile" What were you thinking about?"
"Nothing!" she said quickly as she stood up and ran away from the common room.
She could hear him laughing.
...
Sunny walked down the stairs and saw Matilda at the foot of the staircase. Matilda saw her and said" A package arrived for you. It says it's from a woman named Linda."
Sunny had been going to get a glass of water and an apple from the kitchen and answered" Thank you, Matilda"
Matilda smiled and handed her the package. It was a box, a bit large. It wasn't heavy but she had to use both arms to hold it and not let it fall. The apple and water would have to wait.
It was a bit hard to carry the package up the stairs. Her knees kept hitting the box. It kind of hurt.
Sunny had to set the package on the floor so she could open the door. She opened the door and reached down to grab the box. Sunny entered the room, the box in her hands and set it on the floor in front of her bed.
Lilene was in the room and her eyes widened when she saw the package, she asked "What is that?"
Sunny sat down on her bed and said" I don't know, but Linda sent it"
...
Sunny opened the box and was surprised to see what was inside. There were three journals. Apart from that there was a card. Lilene had come over to see what was in the box and both girls were confused.
Lilene reached in and pulled out the white card. Sunny looked at it and began to read:
"Dear Sunny,
It's your cab driver. My name is Diadore Horoseus. I hope you can solve the secrets of Isis House. I can't tell you much, it is your duty to solve the mystery, but I decided to send you my diaries. They will assist you in your journey. I'm sorry about the whole "Linda" thing. If anybody asks "Linda" is your aunt that you never knew existed. I didn't put my real name because I have some troubled relationships with some people and if they came across this note or the contents of the package, it could ruin your quest in solving the mysteries of Isis House.
Sincerely,
Diadore Horoseus"
Lilene said "Well at least she's eager to help us."
Sunny nodded and said "Let's check these diaries out. Take notes on everything and anything that you find in the diary."
Sunny reached into the box and grabbed two diaries. Both were bound in brown leather. A square piece of silk was on the center of the cover. Both journals had the name Diadore Horoseus written on them in neat handwriting. The first on had the Roman numeral for one while the second had the Roman numeral for two.
Sunny said" Here you take Diary Two." .Lilene grabbed the diary and walked over to her bed. The brunette grabbed her notebook, opened it to a fresh page and began to read.
Sunny cracked her knuckles and said" Let's get to work"
