House of Conscience:
Nina woke up with a start from her dream.
"Sarah!" Shouted Nina.
Nina looked at Amber's bed and saw that Amber hadn't become because of her. Nina lay back down and tried to get some sleep. But Nina just can't get to sleep, all she could think about was Sarah's message.
The next morning. The club was already sitting at the table and having breakfast. Fabian noticed that Nina was very quiet.
"Is something wrong?" Asked Fabian.
"That's so typical for guys, if a girl is quiet then there must be something wrong right away," said Amber. "Have you ever heard of just being tired?" She asked.
"I'm guessing that you didn't sleep too well either, said Fabian.
Amber ignored Fabian's comment and saw that something was bothering Nina.
"Nina what is wrong? Asked Amber.
"I've had some kind of nightmare, said Nina.
"A normal nightmare? Asked Fabian.
"I don't think was a normal nightmare, by the way she's looking," said Patricia.
"Was it about me?" Asked Alfie.
"Why would she have a nightmare about you?" Asked Amber.
"I'm pretty scary, said Alfie.
"Yeah right, you wish, said Amber.
"What happened?" Asked Fabian.
"Sarah," said Nina.
The club looked shocked at Nina when she said Sarah's name.
"Sarah? You dreamed about her?" Asked Aaron.
"Yes, she screamed for my help," said Nina.
"Of course, the SOS, those matches," said Fabian.
"It's not starting to haunt again is it?" Asked Amber.
"I don't know and I don't get it either, we did it right, didn't we? It must be over," said Nina.
"It has to. We did what we had to. Maybe something happened, maybe we did something wrong," said Fabian.
Alfie remembered how he took the box from the tomb. Alfie's guilt only grew. Amber noticed was unusually quiet.
"Alfie what's the matter with you?" Asked Amber.
"Guys I...," said Alfie.
But before Alfie could finish his sentence, the rest of the residents entered the living room and sat down at the table.
After breakfast the Anubis residents were at school. The school newspaper staff were in the computer lab, having an early staff meeting.
"Mara," said Joy
"Yes, Joy," said Mara.
"You're still the school ambassador, aren't you?" Asked Joy.
"Yes, I'm still am," said Mara
"Can you go to Mr. Sweet and file a complaint on behalf of us girls?" Asked Joy.
"What kind of complaint?" Asked Mara.
"About Victor of course! He's gone too far by searching our rooms for no reason and then in the progress our possession got broken or damaged," said Joy.
"And it's not the first time he's done something like this," said Otis.
"But even if I file a complaint with Mr. Sweet, not much will change. Mr. Sweet will give Victor a warning and that's it," said Mara.
"Victor should at least reimburse for our broken stuff, since he was the one who broke it," said Joy.
"Yes I agree with you on that one," said Mara.
"Why don't we change the subject for now? We didn't come here to complain about Victor," said Eddie.
"Eddie is right," said Mara.
"But," said Joy.
"Why don't you start making a list of stuff that got broken and I will ask the other girls that too and then I will take that list to Mr. Sweet, said Mara.
"Okay," said Joy.
"Well, who has started with his or her article?" Asked Mara.
"I'm already finished," said Eddie.
"Really Eddie?" Asked Mara.
"Yes, it's fun to write, I just need to find some vacation photos," said Eddie.
"And what about you Joy?" Asked Mara.
"I wanted to start on it yesterday, but then I had to completely clean up my room because Victor made a huge mess of it," said Joy.
"Yeah I'm only half done myself," said Mara.
"What should I do?" Asked Otis.
"Otis you and Eddie take care of the rest of the paper," said Mara.
"And what do you want us to do exactly?" Asked Eddie.
"Someone has to write the horoscopes," said Mara.
"And what else?" Asked Eddie.
"With Patricia gone, so is our most popular piece," said Mara.
"Yes his point of view and her point of view was a favorite among our readers," said Otis.
"I'll come up with something else," said Eddie.
"Okay now let's focus on what we've and discuss the progress at the next meeting," said Mara.
The school newspaper staff packed their bags and left the computer lab and headed towards their first class.
Three hours later. Nina and Amber were in the girls' bathroom, Amber was working on her makeup and Nina was washing her hands.
"I don't know if I can sleep tonight," said Amber.
"Amber take it easy, there's no need to panic," said Nina.
"No reason to panic? The house is haunted again," said Amber.
"It used to be haunted in the house," said Nina.
"Nina you're having nightmares again. It all starts all over again from the beginning," said Amber.
"Amber the Ankh is back in Egypt. It's over and must be over," said Nina.
"I think it's haunted again," said Amber.
"Did you see or hear anything?" Asked Nina.
"It just doesn't feel right", said Amber.
"Amber we did everything right," said Nina.
"I don't know, I'm just scared. What are we going to do?" Asked Amber.
"I don't know, but it's gonna be alright," said Nina.
"Yeah?" Asked Amber.
"Yeah, we just shouldn't go crazy, said Nina.
"I don't understand why you stay so calm? It's haunted again, said Amber.
Amber grabbed her bag and rushed out of the bathroom, upset. Nina followed Amber, but lost her. Nina ran into Fabian.
"Fabian have you seen where Amber was heading?" Asked Nina
"Yeah, I saw her heading that way," said Fabian.
"I need to find her," said Nina
"What's up with Amber?" Asked Fabian.
"She's scared because of everything that's happened," said Nina.
"Then we must have a club meeting and fast," said Fabian.
"That is what I was thinking," said Nina.
"Let's meet in the arts and crafts room in 15 minutes, said Fabian.
"I'll get Amber and Patricia," said Nina.
"Then I'll get Aaron and Alfie," said Fabian.
"See you in 15 minutes," said Nina.
Nina and Fabian split up and went looking for the rest of the club.
In the meantime. KT was in the drama room, sketching in her notebook. Mara entered the room and sat on the couch next to KT.
"Hi," said Mara.
"Hi Mara," said KT.
"How are you doing?" Asked Mara.
"I'm doing fine and you?" Asked KT.
"I'm doing fine too," said Mara.
"That's good to hear," said KT.
"I'm busy making a list of things Victor destroyed when he searched our rooms. So if you can tell me what's broken of yours, I can add that to the list, said Mara.
"Oh, not much of my stuff was broken, only my alarm clock and small painting, said KT
"I'll add it to the list anyway," said Mara.
"Thank you," said KT.
"And I also want to say sorry," said Mara.
"For do you want to say sorry? You haven't done anything," said KT.
"And that's what I wanted to say sorry for. You're my roommate and I feel like I haven't made you feel welcome yet," said Mara.
"Oh don't worry I feel very welcome," said KT.
"Well at least I want to let you know that I'm here for you as a roommate, so if you need anything you can always come to me, said Mara.
"Thank you and if something bothers you can come to me," said KT.
"Thank you," said Mara.
"You're welcome," said KT.
"Then will be going again, I'm going to ask to rest of the girls to add things on the list of broken stuff," said Mara.
"Good luck," said KT
"Thank you I need that especially if I'm going to talk to Amber," said Mara.
Mara got up and left the drama room.
A few moments later, the club was in the arts and crafts room.
"Thank you all for coming," said Nina.
"I think I know why we're here," said Aaron.
"Yes, we need to talk about the events that have happened lately," said Fabian.
"The place is haunted again," said Amber.
"There is something going on," said Aaron.
"But what?" Asked Patricia.
"I'm telling you guys the house is haunted again," said Amber.
"But Amneris is back together with Tutankhamun, so her spirit has peace," said Nina.
"If only we had brought that chest, at least I could decipher the hieroglyphics," said Fabian.
"It doesn't matter, we'll never find out anyway," said Nina.
"And we've another problem," said Patricia.
"What's that?" Asked Nina.
"Victor," said Patricia.
"What's up with Victor?" Asked Amber.
"He knows something, otherwise he would search our rooms," said Patricia.
"Patricia is right. We've to watch out for him," said Fabian.
"Yeah, he's clearly up to something," said Aaron.
"Maybe he knows that we've been to Egypt," said Nina.
"How is he supposed to know, we've destroyed all traces that lead to Egypt," said Fabian.
"Maybe he figured it out somehow," said Nina.
"But even if he knew, he would still don't know what we did in Egypt," said Fabian.
"This is so frustrating so many things are happening and we've no single clue," said Aaron.
"Maybe Sarah can help us," said Fabian.
"What do you mean Fabian?" Asked Nina.
"Maybe if you make contact with her through your dream, then you can try to find out what is going on, said Fabian.
"I don't know, that nightmare freaked me out, I don't think I can get through another one, said Nina.
"Nina, Sarah is on our side she needs your help and maybe through your next dream you can find out why all this is happening, said Fabian.
"Okay, maybe getting in touch with Sarah can make this all stop, said Fabian
Alfie struggled with the fact that all this was probably his fault, he'd taken the chest from the tomb.
In the meantime in the house. Victor jr. was on his way to the cellar and Trudy wanted to go to the supermarket to do some shopping.
"Victor I'm going shopping," said Trudy.
"You do whatever you do," said Victor jr.
"And when you go and look at the sink, it's still clogged," said Trudy.
"If I've the time," said Victor jr.
"Maybe you should spend less time in the cellar," said Trudy.
"Maybe you should mind your own business," said Victor jr.
Victor walked into the cellar and Trudy left the house.
An hour later and the Anubis residents had a free period. Alfie had sneaked back to the house, without anyone noticing. Nina and Amber were standing by the lockers and Amber discovered that her math book was not in her locker.
"Oh no," said Amber.
"What is it?" Asked Nina.
"I can't find my math book," said Amber.
"Maybe it's still at home," said Nina.
"I'm going home and see if I can find it," said Amber.
"Amber make sure Victor doesn't see you," said Nina.
"Yes I know, we're not allowed to back to the house during school hours. I'll be careful," said Amber.
Amber walked to the exit and headed to the house.
A little while later. Alfie was in his room and had put the chest on his bed. Alfie grabbed a hammer and wanted to smash the chest, but he couldn't. Alfie threw the hammer down on it. Alfie picked up the chest and sat on the edge of his bed.
In the meantime. Amber quietly entered the house and went to her room. Amber saw her math book on her desk and picked it up. Amber left the room, but then Victor was standing right in front of her.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Victor jr.
"I forgot my math book and I came to get it," said Amber.
"Yeah sure and tell me the truth now," said Victor jr.
"But this is the truth," said Amber.
"Nonsense, I know you and those friends of yours are up to something," said Victor jr.
Meanwhile, Alfie looked for a hiding place for the chest. Alfie thought of hiding the chest on top of the closet. Alfie put the chest on top of the closet., but Alfie lost his grip and the chest fell off the closet. And suddenly the whole house started to shake.
Why was the house shaking? Was it because of the chest?
