House of SOS:
The club was in Nina and Amber's room and had received an SOS message. Fabian turned on the light and Amber hid under the covers.
"SOS. Someone is asking for help," said Fabian.
"Could they at least ask for an other way to ask for our help, this is scaring me out," said Amber.
"Apparently we're not done yet," said Aaron.
"But how is that possible? Everything is finished, the Ankh is back in Egypt," said Nina.
"Maybe it has something to do with the chest," said Patricia.
"It can't be the chest, it's safe in the tomb in Egypt," said Nina.
Alfie was startled when the rest started talking about the chested and bumped into shoe boxes that were standing on Amber's make up table and they fell onto the floor.
"Alfie what is it?" Asked Amber.
"Nothing. Just a little freaked about this whole scene," said Alfie.
"By the matches? I thought you were such a tough horror freak," said Patricia.
"Yeah, I'm still one," said Alfie.
In the meantime. Victor sat in his office. Victor decided to take a sleeping pill to sleep well.
Back in Nina and Amber's room, the club was discussing what had just happened.
"What are we going to do now?" Asked Patricia.
"You know maybe we should just go to sleep, we've had a long day," said Aaron.
"Aaron is right, we need our rest," said Fabian.
"Yeah, goodnight you guys," said Nina.
"Sleep well ladies," said Alfie.
Fabian, Aaron, Patricia, and Alfie left the room. Patricia went to her own room. The three boys tried to sneak down as carefully as possible. Alfie looked into Victor's office and saw that Victor was asleep.
"Hey look at Victor," said Alfie.
"He is sleeping?" Asked Aaron.
"It's not even ten o'clock yet," said Fabian, as he looked on his watch.
"And with that snoring of his I don't think he will be able to hear a pin drop," said Alfie.
"Let's hurry before he wakes up," said Aaron.
The three boys quickly went downstairs and went to their own rooms.
A few hours later. Victor had a nightmare about his father. Victor woke up from his nightmare.
"Father!" Shouted Victor.
Victor looked around and saw that no one was there.
"That's quite the dream Corbierre," said Victor, as he patted Corbierre.
The next morning. Nina and Amber were already awake and brushing their teeth in the bathroom.
"Nina," said Amber.
"Yes," said Nina.
"Do you think the house is haunted again?" Asked Amber.
"Amber it can't be, we did everything right," said Nina.
"But how do you explain those matches?" Asked Amber.
"No idea," said Nina.
"I had so hoped that we could be ordinary teenagers in our senior year," said Amber.
"I was hoping for that too," said Nina.
"Maybe we did something wrong in Egypt after all, said Amber.
"But we don't know," said Nina.
"I'm scared," said Amber.
"I know, my back can tell," said Nina.
"Sorry, you know how I'm when I'm scared," said Amber.
"It's okay Amber and you don't have to be scared," said Nina
Nina and Amber left the bathroom, but what they didn't know was that their conversation had been overheard.
A few minutes later and the residents were having breakfast together. KT entered the living room and was immediately greeted by Trudy.
"Ah look at a new face," said Trudy.
"Hi I'm KT," said KT.
"Hello KT, I'm Trudy and I'm your housemother and if you need anything you can always come to me," said Trudy.
"Thank you Trudy, nice to meet you," said KT.
KT sat down at the table with the other residents.
"Did you sleep well KT?" Asked Aaron.
"Yeah, super even, I was so tired from walking yesterday I slept like a baby," said KT
"Are you nervous for your first day of school?" Asked Amber.
"A little bit," said KT.
"Okay, now that we're all here, I want to take this opportunity to discuss the school newspaper," said Mara.
"You wanna have a school newspaper meeting? School hasn't even started yet," said Joy.
"School starts in less than an hour," said Mara.
"But we're having breakfast now," said Otis.
"I'm so glad that I quit the newspaper, said Patricia.
"Oh that was your punishment last year working for the newspaper, for coving Mr. Sweet with worms," said Amber.
"It's meant for him," said Patricia.
"But Eddie you can quit too right? Asked Aaron.
"Yeah, but I actually kind of liked writing for the newspaper so I'm staying, said Eddie.
"Okay, so we can start the meeting, said Mara.
"What do you want in the first edition of the newspaper Mara?" Asked Joy.
" I also think it would be fun to write an article about what we all did this holiday," said Mara.
"So then I've to start writing about my father's wedding? Yeah that's not going to happen," said Eddie.
"No, not that. But you can write about the beaches you've been to," said Mara.
"Hey, that's actually not a bad idea," said Eddie.
"Okay people let's get to work," said Mara.
After breakfast, the residents went to school. The club except for Alfie were standing by the lockers.
"Did you guys manage sneak downstairs yesterday? Didn't Victor see you?" Asked Nina.
"No, that was very strange, Victor was sleeping," said Fabian.
"Victor and sleeping, never thought I'd hear those two in one sentence," said Amber.
"Oh he was really sleeping, you could tell that from the snoring coming from his office," said Aaron.
"Can we maybe talk about the elephant in the room?" asked Patricia.
"About what?" Asked Aaron.
"What happened tonight, I'm still a bit freak out about what happened," said Patricia.
"Me too," said Amber.
"Who wants our help?" Asked Fabian.
"But why do they ask for help, the Ankh is back in Egypt so there is order again," said Nina.
"Apparently not," said Aaron.
"Hey where's Alfie?" Asked Amber,
"I don't know, maybe still at home," said Fabian.
"Don't you think Alfie is acting strange?" Asked Amber.
"We're talking about Alfie, he always behaves strange," said Patricia.
"I mean stranger than usual," said Amber.
"Alfie will be fine, let's try to figure out why someone is asking us for help," said Fabian.
"We'll have to find out later, we've to go to the drama room now Mr. Sweet wants to give a speech," said Nina.
The club went to the drama room.
At the same time. Alfie was in his room, holding the box in his hands.
"Alfie!" Shouted Trudy.
"Yes," said Alfie.
"You're going to be late for school," said Trudy.
"I'm leaving in just a second," said Alfie.
"No, now! Or else you're going to have a problem," said Trudy.
Alfie hid the chest under his bed again. Alfie grabbed his bag and left his room.
"Sweetie it isn't good that you're late on your first day of school," said Trudy.
"Yes but," said Alfie.
"But what?" Asked Trudy.
"What if this year goes backwards, then today is only yesterday and I don't have to go back to school until tomorrow," said Alfie.
"Come on Einstein go to school," said Trudy.
"Super Alfie is already gone," said Alfie.
Alfie left the house and was on his way to school.
In the meantime. Almost all seniors were in the drama room. Eddie sat down at the club.
"Hey guys," said Eddie.
"Hey Eddie," said Aaron.
"How are you guys?" Asked Eddie.
"Good," said Amber.
"And how did it go in Egypt?" Asked Eddie.
"The Ankh is back in the tomb," said Nina.
"That's good news. I'm glad it's over and we're rid of Mr. Griffin, I mean Raven," said Eddie.
"Raven...," said Nina.
Nina thought back to the last time Raven kidnapped her and how he nearly pushed Fabian out the window and how Amneris burned him.
"Hey don't think about it, we'll never see him again," said Fabian, as he held Nina's hand.
"And luckily we will never see Vera again, gosh I hated that woman," said Amber.
A few seconds later, Mr. Sweet walked into the room.
"Hello dear seniors," said Mr. Sweet.
But before Mr. Sweet could continue his speech, Alfie came running into the room.
"Sorry," said Alfie.
"Alfie Lewis you're late," said Mr. Sweet.
"Sorry Mr. Sweet," said Alfie.
"Sit down and be quiet," said Alfie.
Alfie walked over to the club and sat down with them.
'Where were you?" Asked Amber.
"I just had to check something," said Alfie.
"Silentium," said Mr. Sweet.
"I'm already quiet sir," said Alfie.
"Well play time is over, it's time to work hard. Welcome to your senior year," said Mr. Sweet.
"Boo..," shouted Alfie.
"Yippie," said Amber, sarcastically.
"Maybe it would be nice if I tell you a story about my senior year," said Mr. Sweet.
"Oh no," said Eddie.
Mr. Sweet started to tell his story and as usual most of the students found it boring and almost fell asleep.
After Mr. Sweet's story, the students went to their class, except for the class of the Anubis residents, who still had an hour off. The club was standing by the lockers and KT walked over to them.
"Hey KT," said Aaron.
"Hi," said KT.
"Is everything alright?" Asked Aaron.
"Aaron would you mind if I stay a little near you today, I don't know my way through the school yet," said KT
"Oh he doesn't mind at all," teased Amber.
"Shut up," said Aaron, as he turned to Amber.
"You know never mind, I'll ask someone else," said KT.
"Oh no, no, you don't have to. I'll stay with you and give you a tour of the school right now," said Aaron.
"Thank you," said KT.
Aaron walked with KT and walked her to show her around the school. Nina and Amber giggled when they saw Aaron walking away with KT.
"Okay the room we just visited was the drama room, here we have drama lessons and you can also sit here during the break," said Aaron.
"It looks nice," said KT.
"That's where the computer lab is, the school paper also holds their meetings there," said Aaron.
"Okay," said KT.
"Are you interested in the school newspaper, you can go to Mara and sign up for it," said Aaron.
"No need for that. I really like photography, but more in the artistic side," said KT.
"If you like art, the craft room is just around the corner, so you can always go there if you want," said Aaron.
"I will remember it," said KT.
"We're now passing by the chemistry room and Mr. Sweet is our chemistry teacher," said Aaron.
"Are his lessons just as boring as his stories?" Asked KT.
"No, his classes are not that boring. When he tells a story from his childhood or starts to recite his poems, then you're in for a snooze fest," said Aaron.
Aaron and KT continued on and arrived at the French classroom.
"And here we've French class," said Aaron.
"And that's mine class, said Ms. Delaney, as she walked out of the classroom.
"And this is Ms. Delaney and she's our French teacher," said Aaron.
"I'm also your class teacher and I'm also a guidance counselor, so if you have any problems come to me," said Ms. Delaney.
"Okay will do that for sure, if I ever have troubles," said KT.
"Then you must be KT?" Asked Ms. Delany.
"Yes, Ms. Delaney," said KT.
"Nice to meet you," said Ms. Delaney.
"You too Ms. Delaney," said KT.
"See you later in my class," said Ms. Delaney.
"Your class? But we'll have history class," said Aaron.
"Don't tell the other students yet, but I'm your history teacher this year," said Ms. Delaney.
"Okay, see you later Mrs. Delaney," said Aaron.
Aaron and KT continue the school tour.
In the meantime in the house. Victor walked to the cellar.
"Victor...," said the voice.
Victor was startled and looked at the mirror and he saw his father in the mirror.
"Father?" Asked Victor.
"Touch the mirror," said the voice.
"Why father?" Asked Victor.
"Don't ask questions junior, just do it," said the voice.
Victor touched the mirror and came out bright white light. Victor and his father had switched places. Now Victor's father outside the mirror and Victor was suck in the mirror.
"Father! Let me out! Father!" Begged Victor.
Victor's father said nothing and walked out of the cellar. Victor kept pounding on the mirror and begging for his father to free him.
What is going to happen to Victor now and what is his father up to?
(Side note: In the next chapter I am going to write the real Victor as Victor Jr. and his father as Victor Sr.)
