Series 2, Episode 73 ~ House of Freeze


"Fabian... have you read the school website today?" Camilla asked her brother with worry causing the boy's brows to furrow in confusion. What on the school website had Camilla so worked up?

Camilla glanced to the table to see Joy sit herself down with a book in her hands, from the way the girl was innocently acting something caused Camilla to feel she had some involvement but she couldn't be sure. Just in case she grabbed Fabian's arm and dragged him to the couch's handing him her laptop as the pair sat down.

Fabian's eyes flitted across the screen as he soaked in the words a look of horror crossing his face as he read the bitter take down of Nina shared for the world to see. Since when did Jack Jackal go from being an informative site to being gossip girl – a show he still couldn't believe he'd seen in full (Thanks to Amber and Camilla).

Before the twins could do more than exchange a look, once Fabian finished reading, a tearful Nina came rushing into the living room. Seeing the open laptop on Fabian's knee and grabbing it from him before sitting down on an armchair the tears freely flowing as she read the article the pair had just finished.

The girl's movements and distressed appearance caused Amber, Patricia and Alfie to rush over to the small group.

"what did Sweetie want to talk to you about?" Fabian softly asked getting to his feet and moving to sit on the arm chair, pulling Nina into a side hug as she read the article over with her own eyes.

"What's going on?" Amber whispered to Camilla who was watching Nina as the girl looked up and glared to Joy, who thankfully knew to leave the room. Camilla pulled her phone out and handed it to Amber the Jack Jackal page up for her to read.

"A certain American student, who we presume is wholesome as apple pie, but when she spends so much time cutting class you have to ask is, she really worthy of her scholarship. If she spent as much time caring for her sick gran in hospital as she did running around campus, why doesn't she fly the old lady home? " Amber trailed off in horror after just the opening sentence, Alfie and Patricia mirroring her looks as they all turned to Nina.

"Nina that is horrible," Fabian informed the girl.

"way harsh." Amber agreed as she locked Camilla's phone and put it behind her on the table. She didn't want to read anything more.

"XoXo Gossip Girl has arrived at Amun Academy." Camilla bitterly added as she leant forward and closed her laptop, taking it from Nina. It would do more harm than good for the girl to stare at it.

Nina leant into Fabian's comforting touch as she wiped the tears from her face looking at the friends that surrounded her. At least she had them fighting for her, no matter what the article would do to her reputation in the school. "Mr Sweet had some questions about the whole cutting class part..." she told them quietly.

"Who would write that about you?" Alfie asked in shock.

"I do have a hunch, maybe..." the girl looked up to see Amber and Camilla looking to one another and knew they had the same hunch as she did.

"you mean Joy," Amber said as the girl trailed off.

"This isn't Joy," Patricia defended.

"Yeah, yeah – no way." Fabian added, "Joy would never stoop that low."

"you don't know how people will react until they are backed into a corner." Camilla muttered though they all heard her causing Fabian to shoot her a look, "what? You have to admit it is a little suspect Fabby."

"Exactly!" Amber argued with Camilla, "if we break it down people its simple. who's jealous of Nina?"

"Joy." Camilla answered.

"who'd like to get Nina out the way?"

"Joy."

"Eh, Senkhara?" Patricia offered up as another explanation.

"Vera?" Alfie also added.

"I would say Rufus, but we know he's after you Cam." Fabian sighed.

Alfie's eyes widened as he took in the list, "wow, we have made a lot of enemies." This caused Patricia to look to Alfie with a slight grin as Fabian hissed at him that his comment wasn't helpful.

"No this is not any of them," Amber scoffed at the idea of it. "Senkhara may be one big bitchy spirit, but I don't think she can work a laptop."

"that reads little a petty girl fighting dirty," Camilla also added, Amber nodding her head in agreement and even Patricia had to begrudgingly agree with the girl's comments.

"Look," a tearful Nina mumbled, "I don't care who it was, okay. Because it's true... I didn't even think of flying gran home, because ive been so busy following this quest and... I'm a terrible granddaughter." Nina spoke through tears.

"No!" Fabian told her, "no, look at me Nina." He told her causing the girl to turn to look at him, "if we don't find this mask, she might not even have a granddaughter."

"that's why we have to keep going," Patricia encouraged her, "now even more than before."

"exactly. So we'll go and we'll get the reflectors off Victor," Fabian told Nina in a confident tone knowing the girl needed someone to step up at that moment, "then we will go downstairs, complete the task, find the mask, give it to our unfriendly ghost friend and then we are free." Nina let out a watery laugh at the confidence in the boy. "then you can go back to being the devoted granddaughter that we all know you are."

"in the meantime," Camilla said softly with a small smile to Nina, "I'll look up some more healing spells or potions to help your gran, I'm sure there is something I can do."

Nina lent forward and took Camilla's hand mouthing a thank you. The girl knew that no matter how fast they did the task her grandmother's health would still be a worry to her. Knowing Camilla was trying to find a magical solution was somewhat of a relief.


Unknown to the Sibuna's in the living room Victor was frantically searching his office gathering the reflectors he had collected together on his desk. The man pausing by his safe before taking out a box. There was one reflector he hadn't needed to find as he'd known of it since realising the purpose of the task. A small black jewellery box was added to the collection on the desk. Four reflectors, he just hoped the kids were smart enough to figure out the symbols before Vera was gone. The Mark of Anubis emblazoned in his mind, knowing if it wasn't for his Deity it had been him to have been branded with it not the woman sat in the attic.


Victor's office was as cluttered as ever but Camilla couldn't help there was something odd about the way the man's notebook had just been left open, on the reflector page. Not very Victor. Camilla sat in the man's chair as she watched the other Sibuna's hunt the drawers and other clutter, the girl tentatively picking up the notebook as Nina spoke up.

"they won't be anywhere obvious; he'd keep them well hidden."

"Are you sure about that?" Camilla countered as she looked under the lifted notebook to see the pocket watch. A frown gracing her face. Victor never took off his pocket watch.

"that's the zodiac of Horus," Amber spoke as she noticed the page the notebook Camilla was holding was on.

"and a list of the reflectors, and where he thinks they are..." Nina excitedly spoke, as Camilla handed over the notebook to her "apart from the last one, there is only six here. This is way to easy, it's really weird."

"I for one am okay with easy," Amber spoke as she picked up a black box and looked at it before putting it back down again.

Camilla's eyes followed the girl's movements, noticing on the bottom the same engraved falcon symbol they had been looking for. The last reflector was in the box, but something about it made her keep quiet. There was a reason Victor hadn't written it down on his list, she wanted to know that reason before shouting in excitement.

Fabian picked the pocket watch up that was still sat on the desk moving the back of it in the light so they could see the falcon on it. "Victor's fob... and look, he thinks the dolls eye is in the cellar, and the sun means the stain glass window in the attic,"

"Hello! Isn't anyone else thinking its strange that Victor's all of a sudden get so careless?" Nina demanded.

"Maybe he's just worried about were Vera is?" Amber offered as an explanation.

"Look," Fabian said excitedly looking at the notebook, "whatever it is, if we don't round up the reflectors he knows about and find the one he doesn't know, it's game over."

"I think I know the last one..." Camilla whispered causing heads to turn her way, "leave it for me to find."

Nina let out an exasperated sigh at the secretive tone in Camilla's voice, she knew the girl was keeping stuff from them as a way to protect them but that didn't mean it didn't irritate her.

"Okay, good." Fabian nodded to his sister taking charge, "you focus on that one."

"Guys we need to get out of here," Nina spoke up nervously glancing to the door, "I want to visit my gran after school."

"Okay, we've got this we just need to follow Victor's notes." Fabian confidently said. "after school, we'll grab the reflectors, and meet up later."

With that Nina, Amber and Fabian rushed from the room, Camilla paused before picking up the box and looking over it. It was a jewellery box, with ease she lifted the lid to see an amulet, much like the one that hung around her neck however this one was on a black leather string and it depicted the falcon symbol of the god Horus. The girl couldn't help but frown. Who was this meant for? and why did Victor have it?


The Sibuna's split up after school to find the remaining reflectors, Camilla joining Alfie and Amber on their hunt of the attic seeing as she had already found her one.

"what if Victor's locked Vera up here?" Amber whispered as Alfie pushed open the door.

"good, that means team bad guys is a man down." Camilla shrugged causing Amber to gently hit her at the joke.

"it be very Jane Eyre," the girl's comment caused Alfie and Camilla to look at her, "what I've seen the movie. Either way, I spent far more time in the library than you Alfie."

"Yeah, I've been to the library for a bake-off or some sort of heist." Alfie nodded as they moved into the room to look around, "or for a cool passage down to the tunnels."

"you're in there the most though Cam,"

"the joy's of having geeks as family members." The girl pulled a face causing them all to laugh slightly.

Alfie and Amber looked at the stain glass window as Camilla lent against the middle pillar and yawned slightly, "this is it." Alfie spoke as he saw the falcon symbol on the sunglass.

"gentle, careful Alfie," Amber advised him as he reached his hand out and gently took it from the window.

"always with the lack of trust," Alfie teased causing a smile to creep onto Camilla's face as she watched her favourite ship interact. She just needed to find a way to get them together again.

Alfie's hand slipped and he almost dropped the glass causing Amber to dive to grab it, causing her foot to get caught on a blanket.

"Holy mother of Horus," Camilla gasped as she took in the sight under the blanket. It was Vera, frozen like a wax doll or one of her stuffed animals she loved so much.

"Amber!" Alfie exclaimed as the girl went on about her almost chipping a nail having seen the same horrific sight as Camilla.

The blonde girl looked around and let out a gasp.

"did victor have her stuffed?" Alfie stuttered causing Camilla to shake her head as she pointed to the woman's hand.

"that would be so Victor.

"look... the mark... this was our favourite spirits handy work," Camilla told her friends.

Amber put the glass to her mouth and breathed on it noticing it left steam on it before she carefully moved forward to put it under Vera's nose to see she left the same steam on it. The woman was very much alive.

"she's alive."

"well, she's not doing a very good job of it."

Amber's eyes widened as she looked between the pair, "oh no... we mentioned the secret tunnel to the library."

"if she can hear then we defiantly made sure she knows about it now." Camilla groaned slightly.

"so what do we do now?" Alfie asked panicked causing the pair to look to Camilla.

Camilla pulled a disgusted face as she moved forward to the woman and lifted the sheet back over her. "we take the shard, and we never speak of this again." Camilla told them, turning on her heel and leaving the room.

"I totally will kill you if you let it slip that we might have let Vera know about the secret passage to the tunnels." Amber hissed to Alfie before rushing after her friend.

"g-good plan guys. Very simple and easy to remember." Alfie babbled before rushing away after them, shutting the door hoping that what they had just said didn't come to bite them in the ass one day.
