House of Bronze:
Nina, Aaron, and Eddie were doing the new task to get the new artifact, but didn't realize they were being spied on by Victor Sr.
"Which one now?" Asked Aaron.
"This one," said Nina, holding her magnifying glass above the key.
"Okay," said Aaron.
Aaron pressed the key and again a beam of light disappeared.
"The next one?" Asked Aaron.
"That's a bird," said Eddie.
"This is the bird," said Nina.
Aaron pressed the button with the bird and a beam of light disappeared.
"Okay, one more to go," said Aaron.
"What's the last one?" Asked Nina.
"The cat," said Eddie.
"Over there on your left," said Nina.
"Here we go," said Aaron.
Aaron pressed the key with the cat and the last beam of light disappeared. And in between, Victor Sr. had lit up a smoke bomb and threw it into the tunnel and the tunnel filled with smoke.
"What's happening?" Asked Aaron.
"Are we doing something wrong?" Asked Nina.
"What is this?" Asked Eddie.
"We've done something wrong," said Nina.
"Careful don't move," said Eddie.
"Who's there? Eddie, is that you?" Asked Nina.
"I'm over here," said Eddie.
"It isn't me either," said Aaron.
"Who's this?" Asked Nina.
Victor Sr. walked through to the room with her artifact and grabbed it and walked away.
"There's someone here," said Nina.
"Quick, get the artifact," said Eddie.
Nina, Aaron and Eddie walked up to the room of the artifact and saw that there was nothing there.
"It's gone," said Aaron.
"Great this, no mini house and no artifact," said an angry Eddie.
"So what do we do now?" Asked Nina.
"We go on," said Eddie.
"We go on? We don't know what's there," said Nina.
"If we want to get rid of Senkhara, we have to keep going," said Eddie.
Eddie walked on down the tunnel, Nina and Aaron followed. Finally, the three of them entered a room full of threads.
"Whoa," said Aaron.
"What are we supposed to do here?" Asked Nina.
"No idea," said Eddie.
Nina grabbed her phone and took pictures of the new task.
"Let's go back," said Nina.
"But," said Eddie.
"You can't do the task without a map, and we've got the map," said Nina.
Nina, Aaron and Eddie walked back to the beginning of the tunnel and left the tunnel and went back up.
In the meantime, Alfie entered Nina and Amber's room and saw that Patricia and KT were there too.
"So they are not back yet?" Asked Alfie.
"Nope," said Amber.
"I've had enough. I'm going downstairs," said KT, as she got up.
"I don't think that's a good idea, if Victor is sitting there and he sees you," said Alfie.
"He's gonna know what's up," said Amber.
"Maybe they're trapped? Or they can't find their way back," said KT.
"They have the map," said Patricia.
"But what if Victor is really down in the cellar," said KT.
"Then maybe they're waiting until they can get away," said Patricia.
"I just hope they brought bread," said Alfie.
"What do you mean?" Asked KT.
"You know Victor, sometimes he spends days and nights in the cellar doing experiments, They're not coming back any time soon," said Alfie.
"Shut up, you doofus," said Patricia, smacking Alfie on the back of his head.
"Ouch, what was that for?" Asked Alfie, rubbing the back of his head.
"That doesn't help," said Patricia.
"Alfie if you'd just be quiet and not say anything, that would be a big help," said Amber.
"All right," said Alfie.
At that same moment, Nina, Aaron and Eddie walked into the room.
"What took you so long?" Asked KT, as she hugged Aaron.
"We were so worried," said Amber.
"Did you run into Victor?" Asked Patricia.
"We don't know who we ran into, but someone stole the artifact," said Nina.
"What? Who?" Asked Alfie.
"It has to be Victor," said Eddie.
"It can't be him. There are 7 amulets and except for KT, we all have one," said Nina.
"Then who has the last one?" Asked Aaron.
"Joy," said Patricia.
"Could she be the one who stole the artifact?" Asked Amber.
"No, I don't believe it," said Patricia.
"We've to be on our guard now more than ever," said Nina.
A few moments later in the cellar. Victor Sr. came out of his hiding place with the mini house.
"Where are Nina, Aaron and Eddie? What have you done with them father?" Asked Victor jr.
"Nothing, nothing yet," said Victor sr.
Victor sr. sat down at the table and took the artifact from his pocket and poured it down the chimney. Smoke came out of the mini chimney and the roof popped open. Victor sr. pulled out the new clue and went to look for it, but he didn't realize he was being spied on by someone.
The next day almost all the residents were at the table for breakfast, except Mara, Jerome and Otis, because they had already gone to school. A crying Trudy walked into the living room and put a teapot on the table and walked back to the kitchen.
"Why is Trudy so sad?" Asked Amber.
"Her prince left this morning on his white goat," said Alfie.
"Shouldn't we do something for her?" Asked Amber.
"When you're busy with Trudy, we're discussing real problems," said Eddie.
"I'd do the same for you if you were feeling up to it," said Amber.
"If Patricia had left on a goat?" Joked Alfie, making the other expect for Eddie laugh.
"Glad you guys are having so much fun, I can't laugh about it," said Eddie.
"Don't worry Patricia isn't going to leave on a goat," joked Alfie.
"We're back to square one. We have no artifacts, we have no mini house, we have nothing," said Eddie.
"That's not true. We have the map," said Nina.
"And without the map, you can't do a test because you have to put the clue on top of it," said Aaron.
"And I'm sure whoever has the mini house knows that," said Patricia.
"Okay, what's the next step?" Asked Eddie.
"Let's look a the pictures I took down in the tunnels," suggested Nina.
In the meantime, in the cellar. Victor Sr. removed the cloth from in front of the mirror.
"Show yourself," said Victor sr.
"Can I please get out?" Asked Victor jr.
"Soon my son, soon, but first can I find this? Asked Victor sr. holding up a mini bronze head.
Victor Jr. said nothing and this made Victor Sr. angry.
"Tell me, where can I find this!" Demanded Victor sr.
"I'm not going to help you anymore, you promised to let me out," said Victor jr.
"You're not helping me?" Asked Victor sr.
Victor sr. let the rope slip through his hands and left Corbierre hanging over the cauldron that a destroying chemical mix in it.
"What are you up to?" Asked Victor jr.
"I nothing? What are you up to?" Asked Victor sr. bring Corbierre closer to the chemical mix.
"No, don't, I know where the statue is," said Victor jr.
In the meantime, the club had already gone to school with stuff for the auction including the bronze statue.
"Here's some more stuff from the auction," said Amber.
"Thank you so much," said Mara.
"Hey, not this one," said Alfie, grabbing a Halloween mask from the table.
"Alfie, it's just a mask," said Jerome.
"I got this for my birthday two years ago from Fabian," said Alfie.
"I miss him too," said Amber
Everyone was comforting Alfie, so no-one noticed someone took something from under the bronze statue.
At that very moment in Geoffrey and Caroline's villa. Fabian slowly opened his eyes and saw that Geoffrey was in the room taking fluid from the glass and putting it in a bottle. Geoffrey to the door and opened and gave the bottle to someone, only Fabian could not see who this was.
"We can start," said Geoffrey,
Geoffrey walked out of the room and Fabian fell asleep again.
Back in the house. Victor sr. came out of the cellar and opened the door of the closet under the stairs and went looking for the bronze head, but couldn't find it.
"Where is that thing? Asked Victor sr.
Victor sr. angrily walked out of the closet and started searching all the rooms now.
In the meantime at school. Mara, Jerome and Otis were in the computer lab. But Otis didn't have his attention at all.
"Poor Otis," said Mara.
"He misses Joy," said Jerome.
"Do something," said Mara.
"Me?" Asked Jerome
"Yes, you," said Mara.
"Why me?" Asked Jerome.
"Because you're one of his best friends, try to cheer him up a little," said Mara.
"All right, all right," said Jerome.
"Great," said Mara.
"Otis," said Jerome, sitting down next to Otis.
"Yeah," said Otis.
"Listen, mate, I know you miss Joy, but you can look at this another way," said Jerome.
"I can?" Asked Otis.
"Yeah, there's plenty of other fish in the sea. There's bound to be another girl for you," said Jerome.
"Jerome," said Mara.
"What you said about me helping him," said Jerome.
"But this isn't helping me," said Otis.
"Otis, I know your mind isn't focused right now that Joy left you," said Mara.
"Oh yes, and this will help him feel better, said Jerome sarcastically.
"I want you to know I'm here for you and you can always come to me, said Mara.
"Thank you, Mara, said Otis.
"I'm here for you too, mate," said Jerome.
"Thanks," said Otis.
"I actually wanted to talk to you about something," said Mara.
"What is it?" Asked Jerome.
"I think a good idea is, to whoever had the idea of Uncle Isaac's village to thank him or her," said Mara.
"Yeah, he or she deserves some credit," said Otis.
"Whose idea was it anyway?" Asked Mara, as she and Otis looked over at Jerome.
"Why are you looking at me?" Asked Jerome.
"Because you read the card with the idea," said Otis.
"I didn't really notice the name," said Jerome.
"Do you still have the card?" Asked Mara.
"I think it's in the mailbox, said Jerome.
Mara grabbed the mailbox and threw it empty over the table.
"Found it," said Jerome, holding up the card.
"There's no name on it," said Mara.
"But this handwriting looks familiar," said Otis, taking a closer look at the card.
A few moments later, it was lunch break and the club was in the drama room.
"I want to discuss something with you guys," said Nina.
"What is it?" Asked Nina.
"I think it's time to officially have initiation for Eddie," said Nina.
"Initiation?" Asked Alfie.
"Yes," said Nina.
"Is that why you asked me to bring something that's special to me?" Asked Eddie.
'Yeah, this afternoon after school at our place in the woods?" Suggested Nina.
"Sure," said Eddie.
"Does it make sense to initiate Eddie? I mean, we don't have a mini house and no artifact and we don't know where Rufus is," said Alfie.
"But we have the map," said Aaron.
"Where's the map?" Asked Amber.
"It's safe in my bag," said Eddie.
"That's good," said Nina.
In the meantime, in the house. Trudy entered Eddie's room and saw Victor Sr. standing in the room and the huge mess that had been made.
"Victor what is the meaning of this?" Asked Trudy.
"I'm looking for something," said Victor sr.
"Okay, you're looking for something, but did you have to make such a mess of it?" Asked Trudy.
"Where's the bronze head?" Asked Victor sr.
"At school, you allowed the children to give it away for auction," said Trudy.
Victor Sr. said nothing and walked to the door and left the house.
"Grumpy old sock he is," said Trudy.
Trudy left the room for now and walked towards the living room. She looked at her fish and placed a kiss on the bowl. She walked over to the bookcase to dust it off and took out a book.
"20 tips to get through the day cheerfully, Tip 1, take life less seriously and laugh at yourself for a change. A broad smile will make your day cheerful again," said Trudy, as she read from the book
Trudy put a big smile on her face and then the doorbell rang. Trudy put the book down and walked towards the door. Trudy opened the door and there stood Mason in the door opening.
"Hello ma'am, I'm Mason," said Mason
"Hi, Mason," said Trudy.
"I'm gonna be living here," said Mason.
The smile disappeared from Trudy's face and she was surprised to hear that.
A few minutes later, Victor Sr. had arrived at school, looking for the bronze head. Victor sr. found the head, but the clue was already gone.
"No!" Yelled Victor sr.
Victor sr. put the head down again and walked away.
Two hours later and the school day was over, the club was in the open clearing of the wood for Eddie's initiation.
"Are you ready?" Asked Nina.
"Yes," said Eddie.
"Then repeat after me, I Eddie Miller," said Nina.
"I Eddie Miller," repeated Eddie.
"Being of sound and mind," said Nina.
"Being of sound and mind," repeated Eddie.
"Promise to protect the secrets of Anubis House and standby my fellow club members, Nina, Martin, Amber, Millington, Aaron Millington, Patricia Williamson and Alfie Lewis, said Nina.
"Promise to protect the secrets of Anubis House and standby my fellow club members, Nina, Martin, Amber, Millington, Aaron Millington, Patricia Williamson and Alfie Lewis, repeated Eddie.
"And now with your necklace thrown into the fire," said Amber.
"My Iron Maiden necklace?" Asked Eddie.
"Yep," said Amber.
"But I bought it at the first Iron Maiden concert I ever went to," said Eddie.
"It has to be something valuable to you, otherwise it's not official," said Amber.
"We all did it," said Alfie.
"Okay, said Eddie, as he threw the necklace in the fire.
"Sibuna," said Nina, while she did the Sibuna gesture.
"Sibuna," said the rest of the club, while they did the Sibuna gesture.
"Sibuna," said Eddie, while he did the Sibuna gesture.
"You are now officially the 7th member of the Sibuna club," said Nina.
"The 7th?" Asked Eddie.
"Fabian," said Amber.
"He will always be a member," said Nina.
"Come on let's go home," suggested Patricia.
"Yeah, let's go," said Nina.
Aaron put out the fire and went home with the club.
A few moments later the club came home and ran into Trudy.
"Hi Trudy," said Amber.
"We are going upstairs," said Patricia.
"No, just come with me to the living room," said Trudy.
"Why?" Asked Eddie.
"We got a new resident and Victor didn't tell me anything, apparently everything was already arranged," said Trudy.
"A new resident?" Asked Nina.
Then Mason walked into the hallway and Nina couldn't believe her eyes when she saw him.
Mason was a new resident in Anubis house. How will Nina react to this and the rest of the residents?
