House of Down

"…And that is what happened." finished Lilene. The brunette had just finished telling the other two members of Wings what she had done in the Egypt House and what she had found.

"So this book was written by Eli." said Troy as he looked down at the book in his hands.

"The Demon Days." said Sunny as she looked at the cover of the book in Troy's hands. The other members of Wings looked at her with perplexed looks.

"Please let's not say the word 'demon'", said shivered as she remembered the evil smile on 's face. It sent goose bumps down her spine.

"Sorry, I was just reading the title." responded Sunny as she looked at Lilene sheepishly.

"That doesn't sound inviting." said Troy as he looked once more at the leather-bound book in his hands.

"We should read that later", said Sunny. The American turned to Troy and said "We got some of Diadore's diaries in the mail. Lilene and I took notes, we should review."

Troy nodded in response. Lilene got up and pulled three pieces of paper out from under her mattress. Sunny reached under hers as well and pulled out her piece of paper.

"Come over here and we'll review together, Troy" said Sunny. The boy nodded and walked over to her bed, sitting down. They both reached to grab the piece of paper and their hands touched. Both of them turned a rosy shade of pink.

Lilene rolled her eyes playfully. It's so obvious they have a crush on one another, she thought. Lilene cleared her throat and the two on Sunny's bed composed themselves.

"I'll read first." said Sunny. Lilene nodded for her to read what she had written.

Sunny's mouth opened to say something but Anne opened the door and poked her head in" Gwen told me to tell you that supper is ready!"

Troy smiled"Thanks, Anne." The blonde smiled and closed the door. The member so f Wings looked at each other.

"I guess we'll review after supper, let's go!" said Lilene as she stood. The two others also stood, together the three walked out of the room. The three walked down the stairs and opened the door to the dining room/common room.

Lilene walked in and saw that most of her housemates were already seated. At the end of the table that was closest to the wall sat Janine, the popular girl and she had Anne to her left. Seated to Anne's left was Leo. Across the table from Janine was Gwen,the avid reader smiling. Lilene sat next to Gwen, who flashed her a smile. Sunny sat next to her and Troy sat next to the American. That meant that Lucas and Jeremy still weren't there. Lilene wondered were her boyfriend was. That word excited her, boyfriend. It made her feel special and happy.

Lucas walked into the room; he walked and sat next to his best friend Leo who was laughing at Janine. Lilene could swear she saw Lucas glance at Gwen and Gwen glance at him. She saw Gwen's cheeks turn ever so pink. But because of her tan-brown skin you could only see it a made a mental note to ask her roommate about that when she got the chance.

Jeremy entered the room, he grinned when he saw her. He walked over to her and motioned for her to follow him, Lilene stood and followed him.

The teen led her to the entrance hall. He smiled at her and looked down at her" You are amazing, you know that right?"

Jeremy moved a strand of her chocolaty brown hair and tucked it behind her ear. She felt the heat rush to her cheeks. Her cheeks turned a rosy pink at his compliment and his sweetness.

"You're amazing too." she whispered. She had no idea why she whispered, maybe because this was one of those small, romantic moments in life. A smile formed on her face.

"Do you know why you're amazing?' he questioned. His dark grey eyes looked at her silver ones. His eyes danced with happiness,as she gulped and shook her head.

"Because, darling, you've always been a wonderful person with a caring heart." he said softly. His words were so simple but sent a shiver up her spine. It was so romantic, so beautiful and simple.

One of his hands reached and grabbed hers, their fingers intertwining. She put her free arm over his shoulder. He began to lean down; she knew what he was doing. His free hand was on her chin. He moved his hand so her head was tilted upwards ever so slightly. And his lips came closer to hers.

And when there lips met, she couldn't help but smile into the kiss. The kiss wasn't like those exaggerated kisses in movies or television. It was simple and pure, sweet and innocent. And it made her feel like a hyperactive, jumpy frog was tap-dancing in her stomach.

When their lips parted, she was grinning like a fool. The smile on Jeremy's face was like hers, happy like there wasn't a care in the world.

But it was a special kiss. It was the first time she had kissed a guy, but not like she was going to tell that to anyone. Jeremy's cheeks were pink, he was blushing madly.

Lilene started to pull Jeremy back into the dining room but he stood his ground" Don't you remember? It's Friday!" he said, pulling her back towards him.

Lilene wanted to do a face-palm right there, with the mystery she had completely forgotten!Today was their date.

"I'm not even dressed for the occasion!" she thought out loud.

"I think you look great." said Jeremy kindly. Lilene smiled, it was that charm and constant sweet personality that made her fall for him.

Lilene looked down at her outfit. She was wearing a gray, off –the shoulder top with the words" Dream" in zebra print letters,pink tank top, grey mini-shorts, white and magenta leopard print leggings and black ballet looked casual.

"But you look better." she responded as he opened the door silently and they both slipped out,their housemates not knowing.

The black-haired boy wore a white polo shirt, jeans, a gray blazer and sneakers the color of a clear blue sky.

Jeremy chuckled. The weather was nice, it was warm but it was also a bit when it's spring and you feel the warmth and sunlight of Summer mixing with the cool and frosty air of Winter. The sun was still out, but the clouds made the sky appear a soft gray color. Jeremy led her onto a cobblestone path; hand in hand. The couple walked along the path, smiles on their faces.

Jeremy said to her "Over here." The boy led her towards the dense woods that surrounded the school. Lilene's eyes grew a bit wide, she looked at him. He squeezed her hand reassuringly; he gave her a small smile. She nodded and continued to walk with him. They walked into the woods, his grip on her hand made her feel protected and calm. Jeremy led her through the woods and into a small clearing.

She gasped at the sight. Spread out on the green grass was a wide, soft plum colored blanket. In the center of the blanket was a picnic basket. There were two small lanterns on the side of the blanket, they glowed a heavenly yellow.

Jeremy beamed" Do you like it?" he asked her as he looked into her grey eyes.

"I love it!" she said happily as she walked closer to the blanket. He chuckled at her enthusiasm and sat down with her.

Jeremy opened the picnic basket and began to take out containers" This is spaghetti and meatballs, this is garden salad with chicken and this is cheesecake. And I made it all myself"

Lilene smiled as he opened the container with the spaghetti and he gave her a fork. And the couple began to eat.

...

Sunny sat there; she was waiting for Lilene. About five minutes ago, she had left with Jeremy into the hall. She was looking at the door, hoping for her to return but gave up. She served herself some of the chicken that she had made with Matilda and Gwen.

Gwen smiled at her and said quietly while the rest of their housemates talked and ate" We did a really good job with this." she said as she pointed to the chicken.

Sunny smiled" I'm glad you like it."

She used her fork and knife to cut a small piece from the larger piece of chicken; she raised it to her lips using a fork and ate it.

The aroma itself was tantalizing and delicious. The chicken's flavor of basil and vegetables was so yummy. The sweet and sour sauce that Matilda had made was pure bliss. The mix of the sauce, the basil and vegetables was simply just so scrumptious.

She turned to Gwen and said" You're right, it's so awesome!"

Gwen laughed" It is really good, we did a good job."

Sunny decided to not think about what Lucas might do and turned to Troy," Do you know where Lilene went?"

He nodded and said" Jeremy told me that they had a date tonight."

That made sense; her friend would be safe with Jeremy. At least Sunny hoped.

Sunny felt like a big weight had been taken off her shoulders, she resumed eating and talking with her housemates.

...

Wen looked up from her plate when Matilda walked over to her.

The housemother said to her" Gwen, someone is on the phone for you."

Gwen was confused at who the identity of the person on the other line was. She stood from her seat and followed Matilda to the entrance hall where there was a phone on a table.

Gwen picked up the phone and held it up to her ear"Hello, its Gwen Kenjings."

"Hello, Gwen. It's me, . I was thinking and maybe my actions earlier were a bit unreasonable." said on the other line.

"I wanted to inform you that you will be allowed to start your newspaper." he said

Gwen felt a surge of happiness go through her," Thank you! Thank you so much !"

Then the headmaster hung up. She stood there, simpering.

Then she heard somebody clear their throat. She turned and saw Lucas leaning on the door frame, a jubilant smile on his face.

"So it worked?" he asked her. She was a bit confused but then it struck her like lightning.

"You helped me with this didn't you?" she said. Her cheeks started to blush. She knew that her cheeks were turning a florid color.

"Well I saw how sad and bummed you where so I talked with .I reasoned with him and then suddenly he decided it was ok for you to make a newspaper." he said as he smiled at her.

Gwen was so happy she ran up to him and hugged him," Thank you so much Lucas!"

Once she pulled away he said"Um…Gwen would…you…"His voice trailed off.

Gwen looked at him, she was waiting for him to finish. It seemed like it was a hard question for him because his lips were pursed.

"Nothing, it was silly." he said. His hand started reaching for the doorknob to go back in the dining room. But she quickly walked over to him and her arm reached out to stop him.

"C'mon you can ask me anything." she said as she looked at him, her tone a bit serious.

Lucas looked at her chocolate brown eyes and said" Well…I just wanted to know if you would like to…be my friend."

She kind of felt like laughing, but she didn't want to hurt his feelings. Gwen actually thought they were already friends. She just smiled and said" Of course I would."

That seemed to make his day, a smile spread across his face. The two friends walked back into the dining room, simpers on their face.

...

Troy and Sunny headed upstairs after supper.

Troy was sitting on Gwen's bed; he held Diadore's diary in his hands. There was a roman numeral for one on the cover.

He opened the book and read the first entry in the diary:

"March 1st 1950

I was so happy today! Today is my eighth birthday! Mother and Father gave me this diary today as my gift. Since it was my birthday, Mother spoke with Ginger's parents and they allowed Ginger to stay with us for a week!

We had a small celebration; it was just Ginger, mother and me. Father wasn't present; he was down in his study in the cellar. I don't know why he's always there, it's like he's guarding something down there. Whenever I even get near the cellar door he tells me I can't go down there. I always ask him why but he never answers!

Ginger and I are up in my room right now. We're going to play with the dolls that I have. Mother and Father gave me a new doll. Whenever I press a small button on her hand she says some weird riddle. My parents like riddles; I don't really understand them though.

Daddy told me to that he would tell me something every time I write a new entry. I don't really know why, but here goes, the one for today is:

'When it comes to the underground there is always more' "

Troy looked up from the diary when he heard the door close. There at the door stood Lilene, a Cheshire cat grin on her face. Her small hands were clamped over her mouth; she seemed to be squealing happily.

Sunny was looking at what looked like a photo album, she looked up from it and smiled"Hi Lilene! How was your date?"

The brunette smiled even more (though Troy didn't exactly see how it was possible, her smile was already humungous) and said" It was great, Jeremy was like so romantic! And he cooks! I didn't even know that, it's amazing!"

Sunny and Troy tried to stifle a laugh but failed. They were laughing at Lilene's over the moon behavior while the brunette had her arms crossed over chest and looked angrily at her two fellow members of Wings.

The brunette walked over to her bed, took her shoes off, and sat with her legs crossed and asked "Have you guys found any possible vital information while I was gone?"

Sunny shook her head but Troy quickly responded" I found something in Diadore's diary."

Lilene nodded for him to continue and he read the first entry out loud.

Lilene looked at him with a perplexed look and Sunny said" I understand it!' When it comes to the underground there is always more'. Maybe Eli is referring to the underground room with the paintings. Maybe the room leads off to another one!"

He nodded" That's what I was thinking, but what do you think will open the room?"

They all took about three seconds to think but then Lilene said "Maybe Sunny's locket opens it!"

Sunny smiled and her hand reached to the neckline of her tee. She reached inside her shirt and pulled out the tyet charm hanging from the silver chain.

"It's possible!" she said as she nodded her head.

Troy's head was filled with thoughts as they soared through his head." Maybe we should go search down there tonight."

His statement hung in the air for about 30 seconds before Lilene said" I think it's a good idea. Maybe we'll find something."

Sunny said" We should go tonight. How about at 11 p.m?"

He and Lilene both nodded in agreement as Gwen entered the room, a book as big as the Bible in her hands.

The members of Wings suddenly were silent, staring at the black haired girl who looked at them as well.

"Did I interrupt something?" she asked them as she looked at them awkwardly. Gwen's hazel eyes looked at them as she asked the question.

"No, its fine, I was just leaving." he said as he stood. He waved quickly to Lilene and Sunny and brushed past Gwen, who looked awkward and confused.

...

Sunny stood up silently. She looked at the white digital clock that she had bought from home. The pink numbers read 10:50.

She silently got out of bed, put on her fluffy white slippers and tiptoed over to Lilene's bed. She walked over to the brunette's bed andlooked at her friend

"Lilene…."she whispered. The brunette woke up almost looked alert. Her eyes fluttered open quickly and she sat up, her elbow propping her up. Lilene's hair was a bit messy, but well she had been asleep only seconds ago.

"We have to go meet Troy." she whispered groggily to Sunny. The brunette stood up and put on her slippers that were a pale blue brunette rubbed the sleep from here eyes and sighed. Apart from the slippers, the brunette wore a white t-shirt with the word" Princess" in neon pink with a tiara on the "P" and black floral pajama pants.

The two girls began to tiptoe over to the door, glancing at Gwen's sleeping body to make sure she hadn't woken up. The two girls opened the door and stepped out into the hallway where the doors to the girl's rooms were. Sunny slowly closed the door and the two friends made their way quietly down the staircase,careful to not make too much noise.

Sunny looked around and her eyes landed on Troy, who was standing right next to the door to the cellar. He wore a blue t-shirt that read" The Beatles", green plaid pajama pants and white slippers. He smiled when he saw the two girls.

"Come on." he whispered quietly. Sunny and Lilene walked over to the boy. He quietly and slowly opened the mahogany door. He slipped inside and was followed by Sunny and closed the door and they walked down the staircase silently.

Sunny closed the door that they opened to enter the room and looked around. It was the same as it was last time, a bookcase and the furnace. She walked over and joined the two other residents of Isis House who were gathered around the bookcase, their eyes on the books.

Her amber eyes scanned the shelves in search of the book with the Latin word and the tyet etched onto its spine. She found the brown book on the top shelf, she smiled and grabbed it. She pulled it towards her, like as if she was going to take it out. It made a short grinding sound and the bookcase swung open.

They were about to crawl in through the small rectangle in the stone wall when they heard footsteps.

"Well, an alliance. I guess I did well, he has the map and I have the knowledge." said a voice. Sunny had never heard that voice.

She saw Lilene's eyes widen and she mouthed "Maximus". The footsteps continued as the trio quickly crawled into the room. The bookcase was still ajar, he could see them. And by the sounds of the footsteps he was getting closer!

Finally the bookshelf swung back into place as Sunny saw the door to the furnace room start to open. Sunny looked at her two friends that were also in the room.

Troy was standing and was looking at the portraits, his face confused and deep in thought. Lilene was looking around to see if there were any signs of an opening.

"Found something!" said Troy, his hand waving them over. Sunny and Lilene raced to his side and he pointed to the frame of the portrait of Eli. He walked over to the frame for Lynette's portrait.

His finger pointed to an odd shaped dent in both of the frames," They both have dents on them. The dents kind of look like the tyet." he said pointing to the silver chain necklace with the silver tyet charm that was around Sunny's neck.

Sunny smiled out of joy and whispered" Good Job! Maybe it'll work!" Troy looked happy as Sunny grabbed the chain necklace concealed under her shirt. She took it off so it would be easier and slowly moved the charm closer to the dent on the frame of Lynette's portrait. Violet light snaked around the charm, the light glowing more and more as it drew closer to the dent. Once the tyet made contact with the indentation, the small dent shone a bright purple.

Sunny gulped at the sight, but turned and walked over to Eli's portrait. She drew the necklace's charm closer to the hollow spot, lilac radiance emitting from the Egyptian symbol. She turned to look at her friends. Lilene's eyes were wide, staring at the charm while her clenched hands covered her gasping mouth. Troy looked at the charm, a wondering look in his vivid green eyes, his eyes glued on the necklace watching to see what was going to occur. Sunny took a deep breath and pressed the silver tyet to the dent in the frame of the painting.

The trio heard a low, rumbling sound. The air suddenly was cloudy with dust; all three of the adolescents shut their eyes and mouths and covered their faces with their hands and arms. Once the dust cleared, Sunny took a peek from behind her hand. She let her arms fall to her side and looked around to see what had happened. And there, one the wall opposite from the wall with the entrance with the back of the bookcase was what she was looking for.

It seemed like a part of the wall had jutted out. It lay on the ground, a mess of crumbling rock. But where the slab of stone used to be was a square. Of course, the square didn't line up with the rest of the wall since it had been inside of the wall. Sunny could see words written, neatly in cursive with black ink. But before she could read the words written on the inside of the wall, she heard a voice.

"Who's there?! Come out and show yourself" barked Maximus, his voice loud and rough. Sunny suddenly froze, so did her two friends who were holding their breath, silent and still.

"Come out, wherever you are!" barked Maximus once more, his voice seething and boiling over with fury. She didn't know why he was acting so incredibly furious and wrathful.

And neither did she want to find out, so she stood there. Quiet and still, waiting for him to leave.
