Series 1, Episode 25 ~ House of Fakers

By the next morning, Camilla was 200% convinced that the 'zombies' they saw, weren't in fact zombies at all. There were only 2 people she knew who had splurged on Halloween costumes like that and all she needed to do was somehow get them to admit they had spooked them the night before – and then somehow convince them that what they saw, wasn't what they saw… once she had hit them for scaring them all of course. Camilla was sat in her normal seat at the dinner table during breakfast, her teacup in her hand watching the door waiting for the jokester duo to arrive so she could interrogate them.

"Good morning, good morning, good morning," Alfie announced as he and Jerome walked into the room, Alfie half dressed for the school day ahead – which wasn't an unusual sight for Alfie in the mornings. "I trust everyone slept well last night?"

This comment caused Camilla to squint her eyes at her friends but not saying anything.

"What's it to you?" Patricia asked, looking over the two boys before glancing towards the Sibuna's. If she noticed the look on Camilla's face as she watched the two smug boys sit down, she didn't react to it.

"I just care. Sleep is an essential part of life," Alife shrugged off Patricia's questioning with a simple answer along with stealing the girls' toast.

"So tell me, did anyone heart that cat last night?" Jerome asked innocently. "It sounded like a combination of… a very old goat and a screaming baby." He added.

Before any of the Sibuna's could stop her Amber was quick to speak up, "That wasn't a cat. It was me." She looked over at them, her voice raising as she rushed, "and you would scream too if you were cornered by a pair of zombies. Thank god for Camilla is all I'll say."

"Amber!" Nina and Fabian whispered at her in a warning tone, whereas Camilla sent her blonde friend a smirk and a wink over her teacup. She was more than happy to be of help defending off any zombies.

"Sorry…" Amber whispered back to the two next to her but shot Camilla a smile.

Jerome, from behind Camilla's chair, was quick to take the opportunity Amber had granted him, however, "And once again we enter the strange and unpredictable world that is Amber's mind."

"But Jerome," Alfie added, "You must have heard the rumours of what's buried down in the cellar."

Camilla couldn't help but roll her eyes and from next to her it seemed Fabian did the same, the two boys were talking out there asses, however, Amber seemed to believe them which was more than the two needed to keep this joke of theirs alive.

"Yes, I have." Jerome added in a mysterious tone, "Two teachers were buried alive."

"There stomach's rumbling." Alfie added dramatically, "And at night they come out and eat your brains." With this last bit, the boy ran around the table and pretending to pounce on Amber, causing the girl to scream.

"Alfie!" She pushed him away with her hand, before realising what the two had done – something the other Sibuna's had caught onto instantly.

"I think we have found our Zombies," Fabian muttered to Camilla and Nina, causing both girls to nod their heads in agreement.

"Now what to do, to get them back for what they did." Camilla softly muttered, tapping her finger against her teacup, causing her ring to make a soft 'tink' sound as she did. Fabian sent her a smile, and Camilla knew this would be one of the few times he would encourage her getting even with the boys.

While this was going on Amber had turned on the boys, hitting Alfie as she screamed, "You pigs! I've never been so scared in my whole life!" she turned to Camilla, "I'm only glad you were there Cam."

"Yes, Camilla…" Jerome turned his attention to the girl too, "how did you manage to do that?"

"Do what?" the girl asked innocently, taking a sip of her tea as her brain tried to think up an excuse to what had happened. She had no idea what had happened to cause the torches to explode – she barely knew how she managed to burn Patricia – and suddenly she was pushed into a corner.

"You know," Alfie added leaning on Ambers chair, "Glowing light, the whoosh of air, the explosion of our torches!" He explained wildly, acting out the whole thing, causing the three all eyes - bar Mick's who clearly didn't want to acknowledge anyone for some reason – to fall on her as they all wanted to know what had happened.

"Well," Camilla started, Putting down the teacup and looking down at her ring, "The ring's stone is made of one that glows in the dark – "

"-Fluorite!" Fabian interrupted for Camilla sending her a smile. He was on her side, like always. He knew about the Patricia thing and how scared it made her and she knew he would know how terrified she was now, "I've been doing research on it for her." He added with a shrug.

"As for the other two, all I can say was good timing for a coincidence. I mean we left the door open, and the cellar window isn't exactly latched shut that's why it's so bloody freezing down there." Camilla turned to look directly at Jerome as he scoffed, "Also, didn't you complain only last week that your torches where flickering in and out? Something about them being faulty?"

"You did say that." Patricia pipped up, with a nod from Nina and Fabian.

Alfie and Jerome looked at each other, it seemed that everything wasn't as magical as they may have thought.

"Anyway, what were you all doing down there?" Jerome asked, trying to change the conversation once again. This caused them all too instantly shut up. Jerome looking around as all of them bar Camilla looked down at their breakfasts as if they were the most interesting things in the world. Camilla, however, caught his eye and raised an eyebrow at him in a way to say 'there is no way in hell I'm telling you anything else'. "Ohhh haven't they all gone quiet Alfie?" He asked the boy who was settling in his seat next to the female twin.

Before Alfie could say anything a distraction came in the form of an extremely chipper Mara all but skipping into the room. "Morning Mick." She greeted, before pausing and adding, "And others."

This caused a confused look to appear on Amber's face as she glanced at Camilla. A silent conversation going on between them, something was up with Mick and Mara.

"Hi, Mara." Mick bluntly spoke, before going back to his breakfast. Everyone else looking around as if it was the most confusing thing ever.

After one extremely awkward breakfast Nina, Amber, and Camilla ran up the stairs to grab their bags for the school day ahead, Fabian joining. Patricia joining them for a mini Sibuna meeting, throwing herself onto Camilla's bed as she watched the other girls run around the room. One of the few joys about living with Mara was the girl had everything packed for her the night before school so all she had to do was pick her bag up, not rush around like the three other girls.

"I really thought they were Victor related Zombie's," Nina told the two as she packed her bag.

"Me too." Amber agreed.

"Part of his experiments."

"Victor may be like 305 or something, but the man has better taste than Zombies." Camilla defended.

Fabian looking her way with a smile as they had a similar thought, "Plus," he added for his twin, "He'd rather stuff a human than bring it back to life."

"A human Corbier," Camilla spoke softly, causing Patricia to hit her arm in disgust and the twins to laugh.

"I never thought they were zombies anyway." Fabian defended himself from the floor next to Nina's bed, causing all the girls too look at each other.

"Yeah right."

"You were screaming louder than the rest of us!" Patricia pointed out.

Fabian rolled his eyes at their teasing as he pulled out the bottle they had collected, "We still need to get the elixir tested."

"I say we give it to the police!" Amber pipped up, "And the photos and the recordings."

"We can't!" Patricia explained, "They are in it with Victor and his spooky friends."

Camilla groaned and let out a sigh, "We can't keep it in that bottle." She said, looking at the ancient looking glass bottle in Fabian's hands. "That sticks out like an eyesore in all our rooms."

"We need to hide it somehow." Fabian agreed.

"I know!" Patricia said, leaning down and rummaging through her bag before producing a fruit shoot bottle, drinking the last of it in a few swigs before twisting the top off, grabbing the bottle of the boy she emptied the elixir into the fruit shoot bottle and stored it away in her bag. It wasn't the best solution but it was better than anything anyone else could come up with.

Camilla felt a little better in school knowing that at least they could keep the elixir on them, all of them passing it about between classes so no one had it too long. During their morning break, the Sibuna's huddled in Mrs. Andrew's classroom with a school laptop open looking at all the possible places they could send the elixir for testing.

"Okay, here's a list of all the British Universities with major chemistry departments. We just need to take our pick" Fabian spoke up after a few minutes. Camilla and Amber – who Amber was re-doing Camilla's hair while they waited – looked up.

"And what are we going to say to them exactly?" Patricia asked, "Hi, were a bunch of school kids who think we have the elixir to eternal life. Could you test it for us?"

As she said it out loud Camilla couldn't help but laugh at how stupid it sounded. "They are going to think we are mad." She added through her laughter.

"This is freaking me out." Fabian groaned, "We have the thing but we don't know what to do with it."

There was a pause as they all tried to think what they could do with the elixir, Amber helpfully breaking the silence with the suggestion of, "Drink it?" Which caused the duo known as Fabiana to give her a look of disbelief. "It was just an idea…" she trailed off.

"Okay look," Nina spoke up, "I'm going to go see Sarah this evening. Maybe she'll be able to give us a lead."

"Ask her about Rufus." Patricia added. "They obviously know each other. He was visiting her that one time."

"Maybe she knows where Victor has taken him?" Amber added, Nina nodded her head. These were all very good ideas. Before anyone could say anything else a beeping noise came from Fabian's watch.

"The bells going to ring." He told them. It was a family thing, but the Rutter's always had their clocks 2 minutes fast so they could never be late for anything.

As they all left the classroom Camilla spotted Alfie and Jerome stick something to the wall down the hall. Bidding her friends goodbye, and making sure to pass the bottle of elixir to Nina before leaving she slowly wandered down the hall towards it. waiting until the two left before approaching the poster.

It was a talent show for the school show so the 7th and 8th graders could be a part of it - and of course, knowing who her friends were people were having to pay to perform. The only bad thing about having male friends was dealing with how immature they were, but to every pro, there is a con. Taking in the poster she couldn't help but laugh as she spoke to herself, "This is going to be a disaster, and I can't wait to see it crumble around them." With that, the bell went and she hurried off to class.

Of course, Camilla wandered back to the auditorium around lunchtime to see a line of 7th and 8th graders, all dressed up from Ballet outfits to holding guitars – she swore one of them was in a mime outfit. Just as she was about to wander into the auditorium a little girl came barging out, half angry half close to tears. Throughout her years at the school, she had come to know a few of the younger students and thankfully in this instance, she knew the girl in question. Deciding against barging into the room and interrupting the boy for a slightly more gratifying idea – one that definitely would get them back for the zombie attack.

"Grace!" Camilla called after the girl with ringlets in her hair, rushing after her, moving around the smaller year to catch up. The girl turned at the call of her name and her eyes widened as she saw Camilla approaching – the older school didn't normally acknowledge the younger one so this was an odd experience, even if Camilla knew her (she had done the odd tutoring session now and then).

"Camilla?"

"Hi, I have an idea on how to get back at those two, for all of this." Camilla waved her hand at the line.

"What do you mean?" the younger girl asked, clearly confused.

"I'm writing the school play, do you really think I'd A. ask you to pay to audition, and B. have those two loveable idiots be the people in charge of the auditions?" Camilla asked her with a smile. It took a full minute before the girl caught on to the fact that Jerome was scamming her year group once again.

"What do you need me to do?" Grace turned to the older girl, liking the gleam in her hazel eyes.

"Go get Mr. Winkler and get him to come here. I'll handle it from there."

With a smile and a high five, the smaller girl ran down the corridor and out of sight, causing Camilla to smirk and turn towards the auditorium door. The two boys would not know what hit them.

It took the small girl more time than Camilla thought it would take her, and by the time Mr. Winkler came round the corner she understood why. Grace hadn't told him about the auditions, more that Mr. Winkler should go to the corridor and see what was happening. As the teacher wandered down the corridor and looked at the students all getting ready to audition his eyes fell on Camilla who was stood by the door.

"What's going on?" he asked her.

Camilla let out a sigh and nodded to the poster next to him, "I was the one who asked Grace to get you. I think it's a little too far, even for the boys. Plus it's my play, I don't want people to have to pay to audition. This is a step too far!" She felt her acting was great, and it seemed Mr. Winkler believed her as he pushed past her and into the room, Grace sidling up to Camilla as the older girl made sure to stand in the doorway to watch the whole thing.

A girl was in the middle of a river dance, and Camilla was seriously impressed by her until Mr. Winkler stopped it. "Alfie! Jerome!" the music cut out and the two boys turned round to see their teacher behind them, and Camilla stood in the doorway a smirk on her face. "I think you've got some explaining to do!"

"I thought you said it was his day off?" Jerome muttered to Alfie.

Mr. Winkler looked at the two, "Alright guys what we shall do with you?"

"Eh, sir?" Camilla pipped up, causing everyone to look at her, "I may have an idea… how about a taste of their own medicine?"

"Excellent idea." Mr. Winkler agreed. Camilla looked down at Grace and held her hand out for a high five, which the young girl was happy to hit.

A taste of their own medicine meant performing in front of everyone the two had scammed, as well as Mr. Winkler and Camilla. The teacher and older pupil had left the 7th graders to pick the outfit the two had to perform in and one smaller boy had come across two blow up ballet dancer costumes. Which was how Camilla found herself sat watching her two friends perform a duet to a swan lake tune, while 7th graders laughed at them. Alfie seemed to be enjoying himself, but Jerome hated it, which really was what caused Camilla to smile at the whole thing.

When they were done Mr. Winkler turned to the audience for their feedback.

"Hopeless."

"No stage presence"

"No talent. Nothing."

These comments caused a laugh to bubble up from Camilla and Jerome turned to her at the sound, hissing, "You plotted with these dwarfs!"

Camilla shrugged, "You're the one who's always said, don't get mad get even." She raised an eyebrow and from the gulp, she saw him take he realised she had done all this simply to get back for the whole Zombie thing.

"I think that's clear then." Mr. Winkler spoke up, "No roles for you in the play, but what shall we do with them?"

"we could make them clean the stage after?" One girl suggested.

However, it was Grace who came up with the perfect idea, "we could use them as scenery."

This idea caused Mr. Winkler to laugh, "That is a fine idea. You guys can be in the play as live scenery. I'm sure our writer can write a few interesting scenes for you to be in." he turned to Camilla who nodded her head at the idea.

"Now that's sorted, you're on probation for a month and you will repay every penny you embezzled, with interest to be donated to a charity of these guys choice." Mr. Winkler told the duo on the stage.

"No way not charity!" Jerome moaned. "What a waste!"

"Well that's up to you," Mr. Winkler spoke softly, "it's either that or Mr. Sweet's office."

It was the look on Alfie's face that got Jerome to nod his head to the teacher's main proposition. Both he and Camilla knew that Alfie was close to expulsion and his folks would not be happy if he got expelled from yet another school.

Camilla waited on the stage for the boys to change deciding to walk back to the house with them.

"You did well with the payback Rutter," was Jerome's only comment as Alfie gave her a hand to jump down from the stage.

"I've learned from the best," she smiled back at him, before looping her arms through the boys before leading them out the room. The two argued over her head about whose fault it was they got caught.

As they wandered into the house Mick came out of his room and laughed as he saw them, "If it isn't our resident comedians." He laughed, "Heard about what happened from Fabian, good one Camilla catching them out."

"Thanks, Mick." The girl laughed.

"Laugh it up you two," Jerome said in a bored tone.

"Eh, listen…" Mick started getting serious, "the me and Mara stuff, it's not funny. Okay, I don't want to give her the wrong idea, so, quit with the comments. Yeah?"

Camilla bit her lip but didn't say anything, knowing Mick had probably already given the girl the wrong idea but he was a boy and probably didn't know it already.

"Yeah, sure." Jerome shrugged, "cos you're really gonna turn down a girl who worships the turf you walk on."

"Seriously, can you see me and Mara together? She's straight, and sensible, and into books…"

"I'm into books what's wrong with that?" Camilla interrupted before she could stop herself, causing Alfie to laugh. "Sorry, not important." She sent Mick an apologetic smile and waved her hand for him to continue.

"I'm a fitness freak!" he continued, "It's never going to happen!" With that, he nodded his head at them as if they had some silent agreement, before wandering off.

"Well, that was dramatic!" Camilla said before turning and wandering into the living room knowing the boys were behind her.

"You could say that again." Alfie agreed, jumping onto the couch and switching the tv on. After the day they had had, they all needed some TV time. Camilla glancing at the clock and hoping that Nina would have some breakthrough with Sarah, but knowing it be a while before she knew so settled herself down to an entertaining evening with her boys.
