Chapter Five: The Phantom
"No way! No way! No way!" Sparkle screeched as she lay on a table. Beforehand, Martin had sent Clarissa and Marvin to go and look around the theater for a souvenir stall. They returned with dozens of different coloured lockets. Without telling Sparkle what was going on, they tied her up and laid her on a table.
"Come come my good lady." Martin exclaimed casually. "All you have to do is lay here quietly. I promise that you're not in any danger whatsoever."
"Wanna bet?" Sparkle hollered. "I am not going to be you're bait mister!"
"Bait? What bait?" Martin asked innocently. "All I want you to do is model you're exquisite jewelry."
"Face it Sparkle." Marvin said, "You started this thing, it's about time you stopped it."
"Fine! As long as I'm perfectly safe." Sparkle caved.
"Oh and by the way..."Martin cooed, "I'll need to borrow you're necklace."
"Wha? Oh FINE!" She yelled. "Now lets get it over with already." After a half hour of attaching cheap lockets to Sparkle's neck, they were done. Martin did a quick count and found that Sparkle was wearing 78 lockets. Martin then drew a triangle around the table in some dirt he had dug out of the theater's garden. With a few jazzy symbols, the spell requirements were done.
"That'll do." Martin exclaimed cheerfully. They all went and hid in the walk-in closet.
It took no less than 15 min for the Phantom to arrive. The lights began to flicker. Sparkle saw a green mist shimmer its way through the top crack of a door. Sparkle lifted her tied up legs and thumped on the table 3 times. No answer from the closet.
"They must have fallen asleep!" Sparkle thought angrily to herself. "If I ever live through this...I'll kill them." The green mist was floating right towards her a a lazy sort of pace. It was about a 2 feet from Sparkle's face when the door burst open.
Martin skidded into the room holding the open locket. "Zora! Leto! Maggen! Droe! Mora! Ritu! Jaggen! Zo!" he cried. The mist turned into an glassy emerald figure of a man.
"You cannot trap me Mortal!" The phantom exclaimed.
"Oh yeah?" Marin asked daringly, "Triangle made on the theater's ground, again to this locket you will be bound. May the people and their shadows be reunited together. Into this locket I seal you forever!"
"NOOOOO!" The phantom yelled as he was sucked into a gigantic whirlwind. The whirlwind lifted off the ground and pelted itself at the locket. The phantom got smaller and smaller as it was banished inside the locket. With a last scream and gust, the locket closed shut.
"Martin Mystery does it again!" Martin cried triumphantly.
Chapter Six: The Ending Chapter
After the others regained consciousness, M.O.M arrived and confiscated the locket. "Great work agents!" she said.
"M.O.M what's going to happen to Marvin?" Diana asked.
"He'll remember coming to Halifax, seeing you guys and meeting sparkle, and how lovely you looked coming down the stairs we'll just alter the events a bit." M.O.M said slyly.
After being thanked more and saying goodbye, the agents headed back to Torrington.
"I can't believe what a boring weekend I had!" Jenny exclaimed angrily as her and Diana sat on a bench outside. "Calculus and Neurotics for homework! Disgusting. How about you Diana?"
"Naw, it was just another boring weekend at Aunt Silvia's" Diana said. "I did see Marvin though."
"Really? I bet he gave you the old I'm shy bit eh?" Jenny asked.
"Yeah," said Diana as they hung their heads and sighed. As Diana straightened up, she looked at Martin who was eavesdropping nearby. She smiled and gave him a small wink. Martin returned the wink then came over to unsuccessfully flirt with Jenny.
"Yep..."Diana said, "Just another boring weekend."
Well? What did you think?? It took me almost a month to finish. Yeah, I'm a slow writer!
