So again, sorry for the slow update but I've got exams coming up and have been studying hard. But here we go

Eddies POV:

At lunchtime we met in the common room to discuss a plan to get the ring and the tears of gold off Victor. "Ok guys, todays 21st February, we only have four days until the 25th and the house is destroyed and us with it!"

"Ok so we need a plan. A good plan. I thought of one thing that might help us." Said Fabian

"What?" asked Joy.

"Alfie, you like art. Do you think you could make a replica of the ring to fool Victor? If we got a photo of it maybe we could swap them when he falls asleep." Fabian asked hopefully

"Oh right well that shouldn't be difficult at all. Not only will it need to be exact but then we need to make Victor fall asleep and get it off him without him waking up and noticing! Easy" replied Alfie sarcastically.

"Oh come on, you don't have a better idea do you?" retorted Fabian

"Urgh, no."

"Great so that's settled" I said.

"Except for one problem, how are we going to get Victor asleep and can Alfie replicate the ring well enough?"

"Of course he can Patricia!" said Amber "He's great at art and I can help. I did spend the summer at fashion school you know. As for the sleeping, I'll leave that to you clever people."

At that point Mara walked in. "Have any of you seen Jerome? He left early for school but wasn't in first lesson?"

I though that's a bit weird and so did Alfie. "Really? Well I'm sure he'll turn up later Mara. Don't worry. Jerry can look after himself." I tried to re assure.

"Ok, I'm going to check the canteen." She left.

"That's weird. Do you think he's ok?" said Alfie

"Yeah, of course he is. It's weird and he's weird." Said Patricia

At that moment Victor walked in with Trudy looking flustered. They were ushering Mara back into the room with Kaitlyn who looked like she had been crying. Mr Sweet walked in too.

"Now that most of you are here, I have an announcement to make. This morning tiles were found to be falling off the roof and Trudy found cracks in the kitchen wall. It appears that we have let the general maintenance of the house slip. You will all go over there now and collect your belongings quickly because you are going to have to stay in the main building for a few days until we have this fixed. I'm sorry, we are doing all we can. Off you go." Mr Sweet this solemnly

We all glanced at each other. Back at the house me and Fabian were in are room.

"This has got to have something to do with the wings." I said

"We need to hurry up. When Victor walks past are room go outside and talk to him and I'll hide in here trying to get a photo of the ring. That's our first priority." He replied.

I slipped outside and started rattling off to Victor about how many pairs of pants I should take. "Get out of my way boy" he snarled but Fabian had given me a thumbs up so I moved.

"Bingo, photo check!" We went back to school and told the others.

Kaitlyn's POV:

No. This wasn't supposed to happen! I guessed that he was physco but I didn't think he was capable of kidnap! This is all my fault. All I wanted to do was save Jason. I was going to double cross dad and save Jason but now he's got Jerome I can't. I can't let anyone else get hurt. So today I eavesdropped on Sibuna again. Sounds like they have the elixir but still need the final ingredient. I'll need to keep close to them. Also after I moved my stuff from the house I slipped a note onto Mr Sweets desk saying that Jerome had gone to see a sick aunt for a few days so no one would worry. I need a way out of this!

Mara's POV:

I'm really worried about Jerome. Mr Sweet said after lunch that he had gone to stay with relatives. He had is phone off and hadn't said a word to me. Its really strange. Alfie seems worried too. I can tell. I miss him. His deep blue eyes. His dirty blonde hair and the way it caresses his perfect face. And the way he seems to know exactly what I'm thinking just be looking. He's been through so much rubbish. The last thing he needs is more upset! I'll keep phoning him.

Jerome's POV:

I woke up, my head pounding. I was lying on the floor of a little room. It was quite dark with only one small window at the top of one wall. There was a steep flight of stairs with a door at the top which was presumably locked. My hands were tied tightly behind my back and I could feel a small trickle of blood on my head where it hit the inside of the van. I felt sick. Rufus! How had I gotten myself into this. My thoughts were all jumbled but I tried to focus. Kaitlyn. And she was Rufue's daughter. Who would shag Rufus? Ok time and place. She was working for him. I had to warn Sibuna. Just then there was a click in the lock and Rufus came down the stairs. "Oh, you're awake." I swore. "Tut tut, there's no need for that language. Clever of you to find about Kaitlyn like that. I'll better tell you the rest since it doesn't matter now. To tell the truth I didn't know I had a daughter. But when I found out I was so glad. I actually had loved her mum. But she walked out on me because she didn't like my quest for immortality. She didn't tell me she was pregnant. So when I came back she was shocked. And so was Kaitlyn since her mum had told her that I had left when I knew she was pregnant. So Kaitlyn was pretty angry with her mum and more than happy to come with mum. Especially when I told her about the elixir."

"So she's a nutter like you?" I asked

"Be polite and shut up or I will make you. But no, she just wants the elixir for her younger brother, Jason. Her mum married his dad when Kaitlyn was two and they were quite a nice happy family. The elixir doesn't just give you immortality. It can save you even if you are on the brink of death. And Jason is. He's in a coma after a car accident. Which may have been caused by me."

I stared at him in disgust. "So Kaitlyn thinks she's getting the elixir for him but your just going to take it for yourself and let people die! But you can't. The entire house will be destroyed if we don't get the elixir to the wings if Isis in time!" I yelled.

"Oh I don't care about that. Anyway I'm only telling this by the time you are out of this it won't matter. I need something to stop Kaitlyn taking the elixir to Jason. So I took you. Her problem is she doesn't want anyone getting hurt. And even if she fails to steal the elixir I can use you to blackmail the others. I've got your phone and all your contacts to, so its all too easy." He took out my phone and placed it on the step next to him.

"You're evil!" I screamed at him but he just left laughing. I had to get out of this. I began to struggle with the knots. They were really tight but eventually came loose. I stood up and saw to my joy that Rufus had left my phone on the stairs. I grabbed it and called Alfie.

"Where are you?" He asked

"Quickly Rufus kidnapped me. I'm in some kind of cellar. Kaitlyn is working for him and he's her dad. He wants the elxir, he's going to do anything to ge-" I was cut off by Rufus grabbing my arm and throwing me across the room. "I heard you telling someone about how I wanted the elixir!" He snarled. At least he doesn't know that I told him about Kaitlyn. "You've only made things worse for yourself!"

He grabbed the phone and put it in his pocket. Then he punched me in the jaw. I fell to the floor. He pulled me up by my hair and pushed me against a wall and repeatedly punched me in the stomach. Then he pushed me to the floor before stamping painfully on my wrist and tying my hands tightly behind my back and tied my hands to a ring on the wall. Finally he gagged me. But I was barely conscious.
