Junior-wait and see…it will all come out in this chapter…whahaha…but I am really glad you're enjoying this story!

Rocker-Baby-176-good question why is Ptomley sad? He is sad because he's being told off which never really happens…sorry if I have confused ya!

Finding out more

Oh no, I couldn't believe what I was seeing! I quickly turned at the sound of a faint noise, but seeing it was only a rat I turned back again to the book.

I studied the book for a bit longer then decided to head back to see if the boy was safe. The Sphinx turned to leave but came face to face with an Imp.

"What you doin here?" It asked me rudely. Didn't this Imp know whom he was dealing with?

"Come on answer me." He commanded impatiently. I shrugged and turned into my real form.

He gazed at me in horror, "djinni?"

I smirked as he stuttered and stared in horror at my form, "yes?"

"Who are you, oh great one?" He asked me bowing low to the ground.

I smirked, Great one? I decided to reply, "I imp am the great Bartimeaus."

He visibly started to shake all over, "Please don't hurt me oh great Bartimeaus."

I thought up a brilliant idea, what am I saying all my ideas are brilliant!

"There is one thing I want you to do." I told him, he looked up at me quizzically.

"What oh great one?"

"Tell me what your master's plans are."

"Follow me." Said the imp and scurried off motioning me to follow him further under ground.

"Wait, is there an exit there?" I asked him.

He nodded vigorously, "It leads straight outside." And walked off, I shrugged and followed after him.


I had been walking for ages where could Bartimeaus be? I looked everywhere but still could not find him.

"I wonder where he is?" I quietly muttered to myself.

I turned as I heard footsteps coming towards me; I let out a sigh of relief as I saw it was my father.

"Ptomley, Where's Bartimeaus?" He asked me.

"Sleeping." I replied, oh gods he knows I'm lying.

"Come let's go for a ride." I nodded and left with my father.


"Are we there yet?" I asked the imp for the hundredth time, he turned and gave me a look saying 'If you ask one more time I will pounce on you and tare you apart'.

"No!" He replied angrily, I smiled, Annoying is so fun!

I started humming under my breath to pass the time, "Where here." The imp announced.

"Finally." I commented under my breath.

I walked into the small entrance of the room, I came to realise that it was a tomb.

"Well why have you led me here then?" I asked impatiently.

The imp looked at me as if I was an idiot, "Because you wanted to know what my master's plans are. So here you are." He told me with his little pointy teeth clenched tightly.

I looked around, this tomb was not important at all, No statues, only a sarcophagus. I walked towards the sarcophagus and read what it said on it.

Do not open,

Danger inside,

Deadly to the Royal line!

"Deadly to the Royal line!" I muttered, I glanced at the imp who at that moment was looking around terrified.

"What?" I asked him.

"Shush, it's here somewhere." He whispered.

"What is?"

"Oh god," he replied in exasperation, "Don't you know anything? My master wants that thing to come back to life and kill the Royal line."

Hmmmmmmm………..that means……….OH NO!

"So he has succeeded then?" I asked the imp.

The imp nodded, "Can we leave now please?" He asked me, Poor thing he was so terrified! I nodded and he sighed in relief.

"But I want to find out more about this 'monster' as you so kindly call it." I told him.

The imp continued to look around, "only if we leave I will tell you."

"Let's go then."

We left the eerie silence, into the sunny outdoors.


"Well?" I asked him impatiently.

"My master has brought the monster back to life…. when he will release it upon the Royal family is a mystery but what I do know is that he will release it before the next full moon!"

"What is this monster?" I asked him.

"He was imprisoned for treachery long ago…he is Anun's great, great predecessor."

I saw the imp flinch and then I realised the awful truth, He's a very powerful evil magician!

I decided to speak my thoughts out loud, "he was a powerful magician wasn't he?" He nodded his head.

"I-I-I remember when he committed the treachery against the Royal family," he paused and looked at me his eyes fall of fear, "it was horrible only the princess survived…she became a great ruler afterwards and imprisoned him with the help of the priests."

Another thought crossed my mind, "when is it the next full moon?" I asked him.

"Tomorrow."

"By the way I never caught your name?" I said to him.

"That's because you never asked!" He told me, "my name is Blinkey and unless you don't want your precious Royals to die we need to work together to stop them."

I nodded in agreement, "let's go." We ran as fast as we could towards the palace, I wonder if we will be able to stop Anun releasing his dead relative? Only time would tell…

Tell me what you thought…. good/bad? I wonder what will happen will they be able to stop Anun from releasing the monster?
