Series 2, Episode 65 ~ House of Duplicity


With the twins being slightly on edge they were staying together where they could. Both of them whereby Fabian's locker as the speaker system in school came blaring to life. Within seconds of hearing the two voices on the other end the twin's glance to one another knowing whatever was about to happen, it wasn't good.

"I just want you to tell me stuff," Came Patricia's voice loud and clear, "I think I should know you kissed my twin, or I don't know Eddie, the fact Sweetie is your dad." The twin's eyes widened as they realised Patricia had just outed Eddie's big secret.

"Eddie... oh gods..." Camilla whispered, her hand going over her mouth.

"Go," Fabian mumbled as he shut his locker door, "I'll do damage control here, Eddie needs you."

Camilla nodded her head and rushed towards Sweetie's office, elbowing classmates out of the way as Patricia and Eddie came from the office. The boy looking around as people started laughing at him. He turned back to the office and saw something, something that caused realisation to wash over his face. His secret now wasn't a secret.

"Well if it isn't Sweetie Jr." Alfie teased moving forward to grab Eddie's cheek like a baby.

"Eddie, come on..." his head whipped back around at the small voice and he found Camilla at the front of the crowd. Unlike everyone around her, she was looking at him with sympathy. This wasn't Patricia's secret to tell and she just told everyone.

Eddie nodded his head and glaring at Patricia before he shuffled forward and approached the girl. Camilla looping her arm in his and dragging him from the laughing crowd glaring angrily at anyone who dared to step in their way. All of the Anubis housemates who knew of her magic instantly stepping back as they saw lights flickering. Camilla was not playing around she was protecting her friend. And gods help anyone who stood in her way.


Camilla's didn't let go of Eddie until they were both safely at Anubis house and the door to his and Fabian's room had slammed shut. Eddie falling back onto his bed whilst Camilla sat down on her brother's, "I know, it's not the best day for someone to get family news announced. Do you want to talk about it?" she asked quietly knowing it was probably a stupid question but unsure of the best way to approach the subject.

Eddie looked at her with a look that caused her to laugh. Yep, it was defiantly a stupid question. "I just thought... I thought I could trust her," Eddie spoke as he sat up, putting his head in his hands, Camilla getting to her feet and sitting down next to him on his bed.

"Patricia?" she asked softly, causing Eddie to nod his head, "she probably didn't mean to tell your secret. Trish understands the importance of secrets. when your ready, just talk to her... all this will sort itself out."

Eddie let out a watery chuckle as he felt Camilla rest her chin on his shoulder her arm looping in his as she comforted him. Knowing at that moment he didn't want to talk but he didn't want to be alone. "thank you for being here with me, dealing with this,"

"This is the least complicated thing I've had to deal with this year." Camilla told him honestly with a small smile. "of course, I am gonna be here for you, you are my friend Eddie, no matter who your dad is." Eddie wasn't sure how to tell her what those words meant to him, but as he reached across his body to grab her hand and squeezed it he knew at that moment that she didn't need to hear those words. For a girl whose family was distant after her brother her friends where her world and she already knew how much the words meant to Eddie because they'd mean that much to her if the situation had been reversed.


Fabian slumped himself down in a chair next to Nina, between himself and Mr Sweet they had managed to stop the chanting of the crowd though it had been after a rather heated shouting match between himself, Alfie and Jerome where he may have accidentally revealed that Eddie was here on a scholarship that was funded by himself and Camilla – not that that was as huge a deal as him being Mr Sweets son but it told the school the twins had a bigger say in their school than students had actually thought.

"You okay Fabian?" Nina asked quietly as the boy rubbed at his face, clearly having a lot on his mind which she couldn't blame him for. Between this, the Sibuna tasks, the threat to Camilla's life and the idea Jasper might have some involvement in something he was being pulled in a few directions with no clue how to handle anything.

Fabian looked at her with a small smile, "yeah, yeah...I'm fine." He told her though the look he got in return told him Nina didn't believe his words. "how is your gran?" he asked trying to change the subject to something else. Anything else. Anything that would distract his mind.

Nina shrugged slightly, "the same, not any worse nor any better... I think some of the crystals Camilla put in her room are helping. I know she'll get through this."

"Good," Fabian smiled glad there was some good news. "I'm sorry I'm all..." he sighed slightly, "that I'm worrying about well nothing I guess..."

"what Jasper said to Jerome?"

"and what Vera said about Camilla." Fabian sighed as he looked down at his hands.

"The Jasper thing is nothing," Nina reassured him.

"and the Camilla thing?" he asked quietly, looking to the American girl, "I can't... I won't... think of a life without Camilla, I need to make sure she is safe." He told the girl his voice breaking as his eyes watered up.

"then you will protect her as a big brother should," Nina told him taking his hand and giving it a small squeeze.

"what if the Jasper thing isn't nothing... what if he is linked with..." Fabian trailed off not wanting to think the worst of his uncle but needing to talk to someone about the ideas that had been plaguing his mind. He didn't want to think his uncle had sold out his sister, but the idea Jasper was connected to whoever was the one was a link that made sense given the information they had. "Why Jasper? Why Jerome? Why Vera? And whoever she was talking too..."

Nina took a deep breath, knowing right now she had to be Fabian's rock a role reversal from all the times he was his. "Look," she told him in a voice that sounded way more confident and sure than she actually felt, "I don't know about the other's but I still don't think Jasper would betray you or Cam. He is your uncle, your godfather."


Camilla finally managed to talk Eddie into going back to school, but other than herself and Fabian students were treating him as if he had some plague. Which came in handy as that meant they had the student lounge all to themselves over lunch. Camilla lying on her stomach on one of the couch's doing her homework whilst Eddie sat up on the opposite one. She glanced up as two students entered just in time to see them look at Eddie and quickly rush out again, turning her head to see a dejected-looking boy bite into an apple. It was going to a take a bit of time before the new parenting news was forgotten, but it would be eventually. Amun Academy was a hot spot for drama and something else would take the place of this gossip eventually, it was a case of waiting it out and making sure she stood by her friend while they did.

"Oh, here comes trouble..." Camilla sat up as Patricia entered the room, the girl glancing to the female twin then Eddie.

"You knew, you and Fabian have known since the start of term and you didn't tell anyone Cam?" Patricia started looking to the girl, slightly glad Eddie at least had someone sticking with him.

Camilla shrugged and looked to Eddie, "it wasn't my secret to tell, plus who cares he's Mr Sweet's son."

"the rest of the school apparently." Eddie sighed, smiling slightly at Camilla though as she stood by him despite the whispers and looks.

As Eddie spoke Patricia turned on him, "you've been avoiding me..."

"that's my cue to..." Camilla went to gather her stuff to leave however Peddie had other plans.

"No! Stay!" they both shouted as one causing the girls eyes to go wide and she sunk back into the couch trying to almost evaporate into it so she didn't have to be a witness to whatever was about to happen.

"back to your question, no I haven't been avoiding you," Eddie looked at Patricia.

"You're not seriously blaming me for this?" Patricia demanded.

"of course not!" Eddie sarcastically replied to the girl, "how could you sitting on that tiny button not be an accident?"

"of course, it was!" Patricia told him; emotion clearly heard in her voice instead of the usual sarcasm.

"let's just be grateful it wasn't a nuclear launch button,"

Camilla sighed and rolled her eyes; she could tell Patricia was sorry and genuinely so but Eddie was too hurt by her telling the secret and the after-effects of the secret being told to really truly see it too. Boy she hated boys sometimes – they were far more dramatic than girls.

"it was an accident!" Patricia insisted.

"right, just like eh, kissing the wrong girl was an accident. Right?" Eddie countered causing Camilla to look between the pair confused. Eddie had kissed the wrong girl? What? She had missed some Peddie drama. Where was Joy when you needed her.

"what?" Patricia quietly spoke looking at the boy, hurt. "you think this was payback?"

Eddie looked around the room empty "Have you noticed that everyone but yourself and the twins that is talking to me, but the twins don't count, they've known from the start of term and I know they can keep a secret."

Camilla flinched along with Patricia at the boy's words. Patricia was loyal to a point it was kind of annoying – last year's hunt for Joy proved as much – but when she was on your side there was nothing that could switch her from it. She'd fight for you till the bitter end. It was one of the few character traits Camilla knew Patricia was most proud about herself and hearing the boy accuse her of breaking his loyalty hurt her more than she was letting on.

"Nobody at this school even wants to know me bar you guys..." Eddie's voice broke slightly as he whispered. The UK was meant to be his big 'starting afresh' finding who he was as a person and so far, it had done more harm than good for him. He took a deep sigh and the mask of indifference both girls had learned to watch out for when it came to the American boy slid expertly onto his face as he looked back up at Patricia, "consider me served." With that he got to his feet and stormed from the room leaving the two girls alone.

Patricia sat herself down next to Camilla and bit her lip which was quivering as she fought back tears, "Maybe I deserve all this Cam..." she whispered her voice thick as the first few tears fell down her face.

Camilla turned and took her hand, "Pain is not an easy thing to ignore, that is why he is lashing out at you so badly," she whispered to her friend, "what you need to do is show him he is more than just this stupid relation to sweetie, he means more to you than a few stupid arguments."

"what do I do?"

"you fight for what you two and what you two can have." Camilla told her softly, handing her a tissue from her bag and letting the girl wipe her face, "if you show him no matter what bumps that you and willing to fight for your bond then he will be there, I know it."

Patricia looked at the small girl and saw the confidence she had in her words, "you do?"

Camilla nodded her head, "I really do." The smile growing on her face as Patricia nodded at her words the confidence in her growing. She was going to fight for the boy she was falling for and what if of their relationship.


There was far too much drama happening in Camilla's life for the girl, and there was no way to escape it. School – Eddie and Patricia, and the whole Sweetie Jr thing. Anubis – Sibuna reflectors mystery. Hell, even her normal hideaway The Lab felt odd to her as she and Victor weren't really... she didn't know what. The man hadn't spoken to her unless he had too and for the most part he remained shut in his office. The girl feeling things weren't right for her to go barging in like she normally would do. So, for once in her life Camilla decided she was going to take a leaf from her brothers' book and escape to the library. Knowing Jasper would let her hide on the upper floor until it had to shut with no questions asked.

However, as she pushed open the front door, she heard two very familiar voices talking inside the building. She knew she shouldn't eavesdrop – it wasn't very ladylike – but her curiosity got the better of her and she couldn't help it.

"Jasper..." her brother's voice came, "yesterday I heard you talking with Jerome..."

"oh yeah?" her uncle replied stiffly.

"Yeah, you were talking about someone? You didn't know who you were dealing with?" Fabian spoke slowly. "and, in order for him to protect someone he had to play the game... and you asked him to get something for you... you said there was a lot at stake..." Camilla pushed off the door she didn't want to hear anymore. Jerome was a good person she knew it, she needed to find a way to prove it.

From inside the library, Fabian looked at the back of his uncle's head as he heard the man take a watery intake of breath. He knew he shouldn't have just confronted him but he needed answers and Jasper was the only one he knew who had them.

However, when the man turned back around his face looked the same as ever, perhaps the smile on his face was a little more forced than normal, "come with me." He told the boy as he climbed down the ladder he was on and approached an empty glass case across the room. "late period Ushabti burial figure." Jasper spoke at the empty case. "circa 500BC. Worth quite a bit, as you probably already know." He told the young boy who raised his eyebrows in agreement.

"Where is it?" Fabian asked looking at the empty case too.

"Somewhere in the northeast of England as far as I can tell," Jasper stood up causing a small laugh to come from Fabian, "I've been getting pictures of it from tourist attractions all over England, someone is very good with photoshop."

"so, it's like some kind of gnome prank," Fabian laughed.

"Egyptian gnome prank," Jasper agreed with a smile on his face, "Jerome has been helping me track down the culprit," Jasper explained to Fabian. "I think he wants to impress our Cam; I wasn't sure if you'd noticed but the boy has a crush even if he doesn't realise it yet."

"Trust me he and Camilla are the only two who don't know about his feelings for her," Fabian nervously laughed.

"Anyway, the cuprite is clearly a student and Jerome is somewhat of an expert when it comes to..."

"Pranks?" Fabian offered for the man causing him to laugh and nod his head, "Yeah, me and my morning coffee know that all too well..."

"well he has been very good at keeping it secret," Jasper spoke up the emphasis on the word secret caused Fabian's smile to fade slightly. "if it got out... well, it would be more than just my job at stake."

"Oh... I'm really sorry you have to go through this alone..." Fabian instantly babbled knowing instantly what his uncle meant. He was very closely linked to the Rutter's and if his name was tarnished, he knew it have a knock-on effect to their overall family name which none of them wanted.

"I didn't want to burden you or Camilla with the stress of something like this," Jasper reassured his nephew, "don't worry, we'll get it back."

Fabian nodded with a smile, "alright... I guess I'll leave you to it." He told Jasper giving the man one final smile before exiting the building. Both men's smiles dropping the moment the other was out of sight.


"Nina and Fabian's world-renowned Cupcake tower... take two," was the very odd phrase that greeted Camilla and Amber's ears as they entered the kitchen to talk to the pair. Amber had found something odd about the dollhouse and with one glance at where the figures where placed the pair knew it was Sibuna clue and needed to round up the troops or the troops, they could find.

"Have either of you seen all the figures gather in a room before?" Amber asked Nina and Fabian as Camilla went to grab a cupcake but her hand was hit away by her brother.

"Yeah, why have they moved?" Fabian asked his focus on Camilla, not Amber.

"yeah... they're in this part of the house now..." Amber told the pair trying not to sound excited by failing miserably.

"Well, maybe they moved when you guys moved it?" Fabian offered trying to think of a logical answer.

"all the way down the little stairs and down the hallway?" Amber asked the boy with a scoff.

"Or maybe," Camilla leant forward and grabbed a cupcake causing Fabian to glare at her, "it's a clue..."

"you two think it's a reflector clue?" Nina asked getting nods from the two girls.

"Okay..." Fabian sighed as he watched Camilla bite into a cupcake, "let's have a look around."

Fabian rushed to the door to play lookout, as Amber and Nina rushed to the cupboards to search through them. Camilla, however, jumped onto the island and spoke out loud her thoughts, "we had the wrong cup before so maybe it's a different cup?" she suggested to the two girls looking.

"Goblet?" Amber asked opening an old cupboard and pulling one out.

"Well does it have a falcon on it?" Camilla asked her friend who looked over it with a critical eye before shaking her head.

"it says made in china."

"it's not the right one then..." Fabian laughed slightly.

"There is nothing but old people stuff..." Amber sighed as she focused back on her cupboard again.

"wait, hang on..." Nina reached to the back of the cupboard she was looking in and pulled out an old glass goblet. "Rutter's..." she called the pair who had been having a silent conversation across the room via miming and face pulling. The pair stopped and looked Nina's way to see her holding the cup.

"Scarab... Ankh..." Camilla pointed out as she jumped down off the island seeing the two symbols on the cup.

"Defiantly medical then..." Fabian laughed as he ran over just in time to see Nina turn it and there etched into the glass was a falcon. "Falcon... bingo, we got it."
