House of Hairspray:
The startled expressions on Amber and Alfie's faces quickly turned into smiles.
"Nina," said Amber and Alfie in unison, as they saw Nina sitting on her bad.
Amber rushed over to Nina and gave her a squeezing hug. Alfie walked over and a playfully pinched Nina's cheeks. Alfie saw the Ankh and picked it up.
"Where were you? How are you? What happened?" Asked Amber.
"I'm okay," said Nina.
"Come here you two, you can't escape me!" Shouted Victor, all the way from the hall.
"Victor," said Amber and Alfie in unison.
Alfie quickly hid the Ankh. Victor came into the room and was about to say something when he saw Nina sitting.
"Hi Victor," said Nina.
"Nina?" Said Victor.
At that same time. Fabian, Aaron and Patricia walked into Patricia's room. Joy left the room to take a shower, unaware that Trudy is in the shower.
Back in Nina and Amber's room. Nina had noticed that Alfie wore a mustache.
"Why do you've a mustache?" Asked Nina.
"Get you out right now," ordered Victor.
"But this is my room too," said Amber.
"Nina needs to rest," said Victor.
Amber and Alfie left the room and Victor wished Nina a good night's sleep and left the room. Victor walked over to Amber and Alfie stood in the hall.
"You bunch of miscreants. A colonic rinse, I've a very appropriate punishment for this," said Victor.
"Victor, we're really, really sorry. But we were there to... to...," said Amber.
"To cheer up patients," said Alfie.
"Yes, we were kind of doctor and nurse. And it was all staged," said Amber.
"And we didn't know that nurse would fall for it so well and sedate you," said Alfie.
"We're really sorry for your gastric lavage," said Amber.
"And your colonic rinse," said Alfie.
"You're lucky that I'm happy because Nina is back. But you're still grounded for a week," said Victor.
"What?" Said Amber.
"Whoa! Said Alfie.
"Plus another week from the last time. And no one allowed to talk to Nina, said Victor.
Victor grabbed his keys and locked Nina's room door.
"You're locking her up?" Asked Amber.
"So that she doesn't run away again," said Victor.
"But what about me?" Asked Amber.
"You sleep in Patricia and Joy's room," said Victor.
"But my stuff," said Amber.
"You get a minute and you don't say anything to Nina," said Victor.
Victor unlocked the door and Amber entered the room. At the same time, Mara, Jerome, and Joy walked over to Victor.
"Victor, Trudy's in the shower and she won't get out," said Joy.
"That's what I was just trying to say," said Jerome.
"It's time," said Victor.
"For what?" Asked Joy.
"I'm not talking to you," said Victor.
Amber came out of the room with some of her things and headed to Patricia and Joy's room, with Alfie. Victor walked into the bathroom and Mara, Jerome and Joy followed him
In the meantime. Fabian, Aaron, and Patricia were sitting in Patricia's room talking about the situation. Suddenly Amber and Alfie entered the room.
"You'll never guess this," said Alfie.
"Nina is back," said Amber.
"What!?" Said Aaron and Patricia in unison.
"Where is she? I need to see her," said Fabian.
"You can't, she's sleeping," said Amber.
"I don't care, I need to see her," said Fabian.
"Victor locked her up," said Alfie.
"What?" Asked Fabian.
"Why is that necessary?" Asked Patricia.
"How is she doing?" Asked Fabian.
"I think she's really tired, but she's okay," said Amber.
"And did she asked about…," said Fabian.
"About my mustache, everyone's talking about it, said Alfie.
Alfie pulled at his mustache and half of the mustache came off, but the other half was still stuck upper lip.
"I don't mean that, said Fabian.
"No, we were immediately sent away. And Victor was also acting super strange, said Amber.
"So you don't know about..., said Fabian.
"About you. And your relationship status? No sorry, said Amber.
Fabian was glad Nina was back, but disappointed that he couldn't be her.
In the meantime. Nina was sleeping in her bed and had a dream about her and Fabian having a good time together. A smile appeared on Nina's face.
Back in Patricia's room. Amber realized that she hadn't told the club the other good news.
"I've something," said Amber, as she took out her blazer form her bag
"Your school uniform blazer," said Aaron.
"No, said Amber.
Amber removed the blazer and was holding the Ankh in her hand.
"Tada, said Amber.
"The Ankh, said Fabian.
The club was bewildered when they saw the Ankh.
In the meantime in the bathroom. Trudy still wouldn't get out of the shower and was still in her trance and chanting.
"Spirits go away! Go away! Shouted Trudy.
"Trudy, I asked you something. What's the matter? Asked Victor.
"But Trudy..., said Mara.
But before Mara could finish her sentence, Trudy began to speak in Gibberish.
"What are you doing? Asked Victor.
"She thinks it's haunted here, said Mara.
"Stop this nonsense! Shouted Victor.
Victor sent everyone out of the bathroom and closed the door.
"I'm really going creeped out all this ghost talk," said Joy.
"Boo," said Jerome.
Joy got startled and let out a small scream. Jerome laugh about it, Mara had to hold back her laugh and Joy looked at Jerome with an angry look.
At the same time. Victor grabbed the bucket of water and threw it over Trudy. Trudy screamed and it could be heard almost throughout the house. Not much later Trudy came out of the bathroom, soaking wet.
"Trudy," said Mara.
"Are you okay?" Asked Joy.
"Well and now everyone to their room, it's almost ten o'clock and then...," said Victor.
"Yes, yes, then you want to hear a pin drop," said Jerome.
Jerome went downstairs. Mara and Joy took Trudy to Mara and Fiona's room.
Back in Patricia's room. The club was surprised that they had the Ankh in their hands.
"The Ankh," said Fabian.
"How did you get it?" Asked Patricia.
"Nina had it with her," said Amber.
"Nina?" Asked Patricia.
"But I thought we lost it," said Aaron.
"I know, but Nina had it," said Amber.
"I don't understand anymore now. How does Nina get the Ankh. And where did Nina come from?" Asked Fabian.
"But Nina also had the locket," said Aaron.
"Do you still have it?" Asked Patricia.
"The locket is safe," said Fabian.
"Do you think it has something to do with the Ankh? Asked Aaron.
"I don't know. There's something strange going on, something about the mystery, said Fabian.
"Yes and Victor has something to do with it, said Amber.
"I think so too, said Fabian.
"That's why the door must be locked. And we weren't allowed to say weird things to Nina when she woke up, said Amber.
"He acted very suspicious in the hospital," said Alfie.
"So Victor can't come near Nina, maybe he's going to do something to her," said Patricia,
"But Victor has the key," said Amber.
"Then we've to watch the door," said Patricia.
"Okay that's perfect timing, because I've to sleep here tonight," said Amber.
"This is driving me crazy! Crazy about doing nothing," said Fabian.
"We can watch a movie in the meantime," joked Alfie.
"No, Alfie, we've to continue with the legend, the secret wall. We've to continue with the tasks," said Fabian.
"Do you want to go to the cellar?" Asked Aaron.
"Yes," said Fabian
"I can't go, I gotta watch that door," said Patricia.
"Me too," said Amber.
"So it's just you boys," said Patricia.
Even though it wasn't a nice idea to go to the cellar, it was the only option there was.
In the meantime in Mara and Fiona's room. Trudy sat in a chair with a thought around her. Fiona entered the room with a cup of tea.
"Trudy here's some of that tea you like so much," said Fiona.
"Thank you sweetie," said Trudy.
Fiona walked over to the door and closed it. The sound of the door slamming started Trudy.
"Calm down, it's just the door closing," said Mara.
"I thought it was a spirit," said Trudy.
"Why do you think it's haunted here?" Asked Mara.
"I've seen a spirit, in the mirror," said Trudy.
"When you looked into it?" Asked Fiona.
"Yes," said Trudy.
"And it wasn't your own reflection?" Asked Fiona.
"No of course not. I look completely different. It was a spirit," said Trudy.
"And what did it look like?" Asked Fiona.
"I don't know it all happened so fast," said Trudy.
Mara and Fiona didn't know what to think of Trudy's story.
In the meantime in Patricia's room. Joy entered the room and the club quickly hid the Ankh. Fabian, Aaron and Alfie left the room and went to their own rooms.
"Amber sleeps here tonight," said Patricia.
"Are you afraid to sleep alone?" Asked Joy.
"No," said Amber.
"Nina is back," said Patricia.
"What? Really? Where was she?" Asked Joy.
"We don't know that. But she's sleeping and Amber has to sleep here for a while," said Patricia
"Yes," said Amber.
"Okay then you can sleep in Mara's old bed, luckily it's still there," said Joy.
A few hours later and all the residents were asleep except for Fabian, Aaron and Alfie. The three boys had sneaked into the cellar.
"Where do we not go through the secret passageway, we've the locket again," said Alfie.
"The locket only works if Nina uses it," said Aaron.
"Oh yeah, forgot about that," said Alfie
"Guys focus, said Fabian.
The three boys walked over to the closet and carefully pushed it aside.
"Open sesame!" Said Alfie.
But nothing happened.
"It won't open," said Alfie
"You said the wrong incantation," said Fabian.
"What is it then?" Asked Alfie.
"Open your heart to me," said Fabian.
The wall opened and the three boys entered the hidden room. The three boys walked toward the wall.
"We've done the task with the 6 beauties," said Fabian.
"And the task with the dominoes and the mini pyramid," said Aaron.
"We've got four more to go," said Alfie.
"Plant the seed of the lotus flower or also know as 'the Bride of the Nile' in the soil of the deceased," said Fabian.
"We've the soil, now we only the seeds," said Aaron.
"Where do we find those seeds?" Asked Fabian.
The boys began to think. Alfie played with his mustache and the mustache came off.
"It's off," said Alfie.
"Alfie be quiet," said Aaron.
Suddenly the three boys heard Victor's footsteps coming in and then they heard the phone. Victor answered the phone.
"Hello Victor,' said Raven.
"Nina is back," said Victor.
"Where was she?" Asked Raven.
"I don't know, she went straight to sleep," said Victor.
"Did the others spoken to her?" Asked Raven.
"I don't believe so," said Victor.
"Do you believe that or are you sure of it?" Asked Raven.
"I'm sure," said Victor.
"That is good news," said Raven.
"I locked her in her room," said Victor.
"That's even better news," said Raven.
"Don't worry, I'll stop the bird from singing, said Victor.
Victor hung up the phone. This shocked Fabian, was Victor talking about Nina?
"Who was he talking to on the phone?" Asked Aaron
"Did you hear that?" Asked Fabian.
"Yes, he talked about a little bird," said Alfie.
"He was talking about a bird that doesn't sing anymore, he means Nina," said Fabian.
"Fabian calm down, we need to make sure Victor doesn't hear us," said Aaron.
Then the boys heard footsteps walking away.
"He is gone. We've to get out of here," said Fabian.
"Where to?" Asked Alfie
"After Victor. He now goes to Nina," said Fabian.
"Amber and Patricia are guarding Nina's door," said Aaron.
"But...," said Fabian.
"Patricia is a bloodhound, Victor won't get past her," said Aaron.
"Yes, I tried once and I couldn't get past her," said Alfie.
"Are you sure?" Asked Fabian.
"Yes," said Aaron.
In the meantime in Patricia and Joy's room. Patricia had left the door ajar to keep an eye on Nina's door, only the draft made the door slam shut.
At that same time. Trudy had fallen asleep in the chair and woke up. Trudy saw the spirit of the woman in the mirror and rushed out of the room.
A few moments later. Patricia woke up to hear noises coming from Nina's room. Patricia got up and walked over to Amber and woke her up.
"Amber," said Patricia.
"It's so dark in here, said Amber, as she was still wearing her sleeping mask.
Patricia removed Amber's sleep mask.
"I hear something," said Patricia.
"Nina. The door," said Amber.
Amber and Patricia grabbed a can of hairspray and straightener and left the room and went to Nina's room. Amber and Patricia entered the room.
"Stand still or I'll shoot... spray," said Patricia.
"Wait," said Fabian, as he turned around.
"Fabian? Asked Amber and Patricia in unison.
"Yes It's me," said Fabian.
"What are you doing here? I almost hair sprayed you," said Patricia.
"How do you get in here?" Asked Amber.
"With Alfie's lock picking tools," said Fabian.
"Handy, said Patricia.
"How is she doing?" Asked Amber.
"She's sleeping," said Fabian.
Suddenly Amber and Patricia heard footsteps coming towards the room.
"Oh no Victor is coming," said Amber.
"Fabian hide," said Patricia.
Fabian hid behind the door. Victor entered the room and saw Amber and Patricia.
"What are you two doing here?" Asked Victor.
"See if Nina was okay," said Patricia.
"The door was locked," said Victor.
"No, the door was ajar," said Patricia.
"The door was open?" Asked Victor.
"Yes, a tiny bit," said Amber.
"You probably didn't close it right," said Patricia.
"Go to bed and I don't want to see you in here anymore," said Victor.
Amber and Patricia left the room and Victor closed and locked the door.
In the meantime in the kitchen. Trudy was gathering supplies to chase the spirit away.
When Fabian was sure Victor was gone, he turned on his flashlight and walked over to Nina's bed.
"Nina," said Fabian
Nina began to wake up slowly and saw Fabian.
"Fabian," said Nina.
"How do you feel?" Asked Fabian.
"I'm sorry," said Nina.
"Shh, Nina it's okay, "said Fabian.
"Fabian, I'm so sorry, said Nina.
"Shhhh, take it easy, don't worry. Go back to sleep," said Fabian.
Nina fell asleep again. Fabian took the lock picking tools from the pocket of his dressing gown and tried to pick the lock.
At the same time, Trudy was putting up fly capture tape and smearing something on the floor.
Back in Nina's room. Fabian had opened the door and was about to leave the room.
"Fabian," said Nina.
Fabian turned and looked at Nina. Nina put her hand on her heart and smiled at Fabian. Fabian put his hand on his heart and smiled back. Fabian left the room.
Fabian was sneaking back downstairs when he heard something. Fabian ducked and began to crawl. Suddenly Fabian stopped moving and he found himself stuck. Fabian heard footsteps coming his way and then Victor was standing next to him.
"Busted! Now get up quickly and go to your room," said Victor.
"I can't," said Fabian.
Then Victor noticed that he couldn't move.
"I'm stuck," said Victor.
"Yes, me too," said Fabian.
Suddenly there was a strange noise and it came towards Fabian and Victor. What was going on? How did Fabian and Victor get stuck to the floor?
