House of Sleepwalkers:

Nina was still standing at the cellar door and had been caught by someone. Nina had no idea what was going on.

"Nina Martin, what were you up to?" Asked Victor Jr.

"I don't know," said Nina.

"Then why are you pulling at my cellar door?" Asked Victor.

"I don't know. I don't know how I got here," said Nina

"Immediately go to your room," ordered Victor Jr.

Nina went to her room. Nina lay in her bed and heard that Victor Jr. locked the door. Nina got up and went to the door and pulled on it. Amber woke up because of the noise.

"What is going on?" Asked Amber.

"Victor locked the door," said Nina.

"What why?" Asked Amber.

"Because I stood at the cellar door and I pulled at the door," said Nina.

"Why were you at the cellar?" Asked Amber.

"I do not know. I followed Sarah in my dream," said Nina.

"Sarah led you to the cellar?" Asked Amber.

"Yeah and I think I was sleepwalking," said Nina.

Amber knew what made Nina sleepwalk and felt guilty for knowing Alfie had the chest.

The next day. Alfie went into the boys' bathroom to brush his teeth. Amber quickly ran into the bathroom and closed the door.

"What is this? I'm brushing my teeth," said Alfie.

"What are we going do now?" Asked Amber.

"What do you mean?" Asked Alfie.

"I can't take this anymore. What must we do?" Asked Amber.

Alfie said nothing and shrugged.

"If you don't come up with a solution very soon, I'll go to Nina now and tell her everything," said Amber.

"No, no, please don't? I'll do whatever you say, but don't go to Nina," said Alfie, as he went on his knees.

"Alfie cut if out!" Said Amber.

Alfie got up and looked at Amber, who looked very angry at him.

"What do you want something bad to happen to Nina?" Asked Amber. I've to tell her.

"We swore. I wouldn't bury the chest and you wouldn't say anything to Nina," said Alfie.

"Alfie it only gets worse," said Amber.

"But I don't wanna be kicked out of the club," said Alfie.

A few moments later. Mara and Jerome entered the kitchen to talk to Trudy.

"Trudy," said Mara.

"Yes," said Trudy.

"Are you still angry?" Asked Mara.

"Angry, me? No why would I?" asked Trudy.

"Well because of the makeover," said Mara.

"Yes, when I went home yesterday I was a little sad. But when I showered and scrubbed myself yesterday. Made me think," said Trudy.

"About an appropriate punishment," said Jerome.

"But no, my sweetie., that I was always complaining that no one here cares about me. But my sweeties care about me," said Trudy.

Trudy walked over to Jerome and Mara and gave them a big hug and kiss on their cheeks.

In the meantime, the club was sitting at the table and having breakfast.

"I've dreamed again," said Nina.

"About Sarah?" Asked Fabian.

"Yes, she led me to the cellar and told me to find the Mask of Anubis and find the balance between good and evil," said Nina.

"That's vague," said Patricia.

"I don't get it. I don't understand what we did wrong," said Nina.

"What happened in the cellar?" Asked Patricia.

"Nothing. Victor suddenly stood behind me," said Nina.

"What did he say?" Asked Aaron.

"Nothing, he sent me back to my room," said Nina.

"Yes and then he locked the door," said Amber.

"That's not even allowed by the fire department," said Patricia.

"He opened it again this morning," said Nina.

"We need to meet as soon as possible. I'm looking for an empty room at school this afternoon," said Alfie.

Amber looked at Alfie, whose mind was completely elsewhere.


Three hours later at school. The school newspaper staff. walked into the computer lab. Otis turned on the computer and looked at the responses students had given.

"Wow we already have a lot of comments," said Otis.

"Are they positive?" Asked Mara.

"Most of them are," said Otis.

Suddenly, a man with a toothpick in his mouth walked into the computer lab. The man dressed in a black leather jacket, black hair and thin black mustache.

"Excuse me can I find Eddie Miller here?" Asked the man.

"I'm Eddie Miller," said Eddie.

"Nice to meet you. I read your piece from your online school newspaper," said the man

"Thank you for reading our school newspaper," said Mara.

"But who are you?" Asked Joy.

"Sorry, let me introduce myself, Harris, Jeremiah Harris," said Jeremiah.

"What can I do for you Mr. Harris?" Asked Eddie.

"You seem like a good guy and you seemed like a good guy to write about my protégé," said Jeremiah.

"And who is your portage?" Asked Joy.

"Lianne Brooks," said Jeremiah.

"Who?" Asked Eddie.

"Miss England Jr.," said Jeremiah.

"Mi... Miss England Junior?" Asked Eddie.

"Yes, we want you to interview her," said Jeremiah.

"Me?" Asked Eddie.

"Yeah. We're looking for someone who can give us an original and fantastic interview and I think you are the one," said Jeremiah.

"Yes, I think so too," said Eddie.

"So you do it?" Asked Jeremiah.

"Sure," said Eddie.

"Good answer my boy," said Jeremiah.

"What about the photos?" Asked Eddie.

"That's another department, I've a professional photographer who makes an extremely tasteful session," said Jeremiah.

Otis was disappointed that he wasn't the one who was going to take the pictures, Joy was happy about that.

"Look, Mr. Harris, that's a problem. Otis and I are a team, he takes the pictures and I write, otherwise it will not happen," said Eddie.

"Okay, fine then. But make sure they are tasteful photos," said Jeremiah.

"Don't worry I'm very professional," said Otis.

"Okay, then I'll see you boys tomorrow afternoon," said Jeremiah.

"Tomorrow afternoon?" Asked Eddie.

"Yes, tomorrow afternoon we will do the photo session," said Jeremiah.

But before Eddie or Otis could say anything, Jeremiah walked out of the computer lab.

"I can't believe we get to do this," said Eddie.

"I'm going to photograph the most beautiful woman in England," said Otis.

"Most beautiful woman?" Asked Joy.

"But not as beautiful as you," said Otis.

"Guys this great for the school paper," said Mara.

"What's so great about it?" Asked Joy.

"An exclusive interview with Miss England Junior that's huge," said Otis.

"So is an interview with Orlando Bloom," said Joy.

"I think someone is jealous here?" Teased Eddie.

"Jealous, me? I'm not jealous, not at all," said Joy.


In the meantime in the house. Victor Jr. was putting a lock on the cellar door. Trudy returned from shopping and saw what Victor Jr. was doing.

"Is that really necessary Victor? There are enough locks in the house already," said Trudy.

"Those kids touch everything with their hands. Nothing is private here anymore," said Victor Jr.

"Isn't this a bit exaggerated?" Asked Trudy.

"What are you meddling with? Just do your job and keep your mouth shut," said Victor. Jr.

"And now you're going to listen to me, Victor Rodenmaar, you grumpy old sock. The kids and I deserve more respect than this. And if you can't handle it mister," said Trudy.

"Not at all. you shouldn't...," said Victor jr. but Trudy cut him off.

"Shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't. Maybe you should look for something else," said Trudy.

Trudy walked to the kitchen with a proud smile. Victor Jr. was at a loss for words.


A few hours later at school. Aaron walked through the drama room and bumped into KT. Almost spilled the coffee Aaron had on KT's drawings.

"Oh I'm sorry," said Aaron.

"It's okay, no coffee has fallen on the drawings," said KT.

"Let me help you," said Aaron.

Aaron threw away his coffee and helped KT pick up the drawings. Aaron looked at the sketches KT had had.

"Wow these are really incredible," said Aaron.

"Thank you," said KT.

"You really talented," said Aaron.

Aaron handed the drawings back to KT and the two sat down.

"According to my grandfather I got my drawing talent from my great grandmother," said KT.

"The one you're named after?" Asked Aaron.

"Yes, according to my grandfather also look like her," said KT.

"And you don't think so?" Asked Aaron.

"Maybe a little, I've only seen pictures when she was older and not when she was younger," said KT.

"Surely it must be when your grandfather say so," said Aaron.

"Yeah, it must be," said KT.

"Is everything okay?" Asked Aaron.

"Yes, why do you ask?" Asked KT.

"Well I heard you scream yesterday," said Aaron.

"Oh, yes I saw Trudy and she got a big makeover from some man Alfie knows," said KT.

"Was the makeover really that bad? Asked Aaron.

"Yes pretty bad," said KT.

"Oh poor Trudy," said Aaron.

"That's what I said," said KT.

Aaron and KT burst out laughing. Then Aaron and KT looked at each other and then there was an awkward silence.

"Are you already a bit used to England or do you already miss America?" Asked Aaron.

"It's okay here. And the only thing I really miss from America is my godfather," said KT.

"Godfather, what about your parents?" Asked Aaron

"My mother walked out of my life when I wasn't even 2 years old and my father died when I was 15," said KT.

"Oh I'm sorry," said Aaron.

"You didn't know," said KT.

"No, but I ask too many questions and some stupid questions too," said Aaron.

"Well didn't you say that I could ask you many questions too, if I wanted to," said KT.

"Just ask what you want," said Aaron.

"Tell me about yourself. How did you grow up?" Asked KT.

"My parents divorced when I was 6 years old and then it was with my father one week and my mother the next," said Aaron.

"Was the divorce hard on you?" Asked KT.

"I didn't like it of course, but Amber took it the hardest. I found a bit difficult when a new partner came into my parents' life," said

"How come you that you didn't take your parents' divorce so hard? Asked KT.

"I hardly saw my parents. Both were working a lot, so Amber and I were often with the nanny," said Aaron.

"Before my father died wasn't at home much too," said KT.

"No?" asked Aaron.

"No, he had to work two jobs in order to care of me. My grandfather looked after me a lot, that is why I had a good relationship with him and that's why his death was so hard on me," said KT.

"I understand," said Aaron.

"And how long have you been at this school?" Asked KT.

"I've been in this school since I was 11 years old and I moved into Anubis when I was 14," said Aaron.

"Isn't it hard to be away from your house for so long?" Asked KT.

"On the one hand yes, but as I just told you my parents were barley at home and here are at least other people of my age," said Aaron.

"Yes that is true," said KT.

"And I was never really alone, it was always my sister and me," said Aaron.

"Can I say I never thought you and Amber were brother and sister," said KT.

"No?" asked Aaron.

"No, you don't look alike at all. You two have two different personalities," said KT.

"Yes, I've heard that many times. But it's true," said Aaron.

Suddenly Aaron got a text message. Aaron checked his phone and saw that he'd received a message from Fabian. The message said that Fabian had found a classroom.

"I've to go," said Aaron.

"Okay," said KT.

"I'll see you at home," said Aaron.

Aaron got up and left the drama room and went to the room that Fabian had found. Aaron walked into the room and saw that the rest of the club was already there. Aaron sat down with the rest of the club.

"Alright, I'll get straight to the point, I don't even know where to start," said Fabian.

"Do you already know the meaning of the Mask of Anubis?" Asked Patricia.

"I can't find anything about it," said Fabian. "Have you found anything yet?" He asked to Nina.

Nina hadn't heard anything from what Fabian said, she was deep into her thoughts.

"Nina what are you thinking? Asked Fabian.

"I just don't get what Sarah wants. Something must have gone wrong, said Nina.

"We'll figure it out together, said Fabian.

"Restoring the balance between good and evil, that sounds so impossible, said Nina.

"There must be something in the cellar. Something with the wall, who may have forgotten something, said Fabian.

"The Ankh is back in the tomb, that's what Sarah wanted, said Nina.

Amber looked at Alfie, Alfie looked at his bag. After the meeting, Alfie walked over to the chemistry room and Amber was after him. Alfie put his bag on the table and Amber walked into the room.

"Alfie don't tell me you took the chest to school, said Amber.

"It's safer here than at home, said Alfie.

"Alfie this has to stop, said Amber.

"What do you mean?" Asked Alfie.

"I'm going to tell Nina," said Amber.

"No, you can't do that. You'll only make things worse that way," said Alfie.

"How could it get any worse? You've seen Nina, she's really scared. Nina is my best friend, I don't like seeing her like this," said Amber.

"I'm also your best friend," said Alfie.

"Why does that matter now, you're also very scared," said Amber.

"What? I'm not scared at all," said Alfie.

"Yes, you're," said Amber.

"Super Alfie is afraid of nothing, said Alfie.

"Oh Super Alfie, your lace is loose," said Amber.

Alfie looked at his shoe and saw that his lace wasn't loose at all. Amber grabbed Alfie's bag and ran out of the room. Amber ran down the hallway and saw the rest of the club walking.

"Hey amber," said Nina.

"Come with me," said Amber.

The club followed Amber to an empty classroom.

"Amber what is it?" Asked Aaron.

"I hope it's important because I actually have class right now," said Fabian.

"I hope you find this important," said Amber.

Amber opened the bag and the club saw the chest sitting in the bag.

What will happen now that the club knows that the chest is there. Will Alfie be kicked out of the club? And will the club find out about the mystery of the chest?
