House of Diggers:
The club looked in amazement into Alfie's bag and stared at the chest inside.
"Is that...?" asked Fabian.
"It's the chest from the tomb," said Aaron.
"What is that doing here?" Asked Nina.
"Alfie took it," said Amber.
"Took it with him? I told him to leave it there," said Nina.
"Yeah, but he's really, really sorry," said Amber.
"But of course this explains it all. All those nightmares. It has to go back now," said Nina.
"To Egypt?" Asked Fabian.
"Yes," said Nina.
"We can't just go there," said Fabian.
"Alfie had the idea to bury it," said Amber.
"No, no let's see what it's exactly," said Fabian.
"Be careful," said Amber.
Fabian took the bag from Amber, but before he could control the box, a teacher entered the class. The club left the room and walked down the hall and ran into Alfie.
"Alfie," said Aaron.
"I'm so sorry, said Alfie.
The club said nothing to Alfie and just looked down to the floor.
"I'm quitting the club," said Alfie.
"That's a joke right?" Asked Amber.
"This time it's not a joke," said Alfie.
Alfie said nothing and started to walk away, but Nina stopped him.
"Where do you think you're going?" asked Nina.
"Nina, I'm trying to walk away dramatically," said Alfie.
"If you think you can just leave the club because things are getting hard, then you're wrong, said Nina.
"I stole the chest," said Alfie.
"Yes and that very stupid," said Nina.
"Very stupid," said Amber.
"Everything started again because of me. Because I didn't want to listen again," said Alfie.
"That's why you have to listen now, we need you to solve this problem," said Nina.
"Alfie the club must stay together. We gotta make this right," said Fabian.
But before the club could come up with a plan, the second bell rang and the club went to their class.
A few hours later and school was over and it was already dinner time. Trudy came into the living room with the diner.
"My famous pasta spinach," said Trudy.
"It looks good Trudy," said KT.
"Enjoy your meal," said Trudy.
Trudy set the diner down and walked back to the kitchen. The Anubis residents filled their plates with the pasta and started eating.
"I can't wait for tomorrow," said Eddie.
"What's tomorrow?" Asked KT.
"I get to interview Miss England Junior tomorrow," said Eddie.
"The Miss England Junior?" Asked Alfie.
"Yes," said Eddie.
"And I get to photograph her," said Otis.
"Can you give me some pictures?" Asked Alfie.
"And also to me?" Asked Jerome.
"Excuse me?" Asked Mara.
"I mean...," said Jerome, not being able to come up with an excuse.
"Sorry guys but I'm going to stay professional," said Otis.
"Oh and here was hoping to get pictures of the most beautiful woman in England," said Alfie.
"She isn't even that pretty," said Joy.
"Are you jealous?" Asked Jerome.
"Jealous? Why is everyone asking me that?" Asked Joy.
"Because ever since you heard the news that Otis and I got to interview Miss England Junior you seem angry," said Eddie.
"I'm not into beauty pageants, that's all, said Joy.
The residents continued their dinner and let the subject of the interview rest.
After dinner, the club went to Nina and Amber's room. Fabian put the bag with the chest in it on Nina's bed.
"Be careful," said Amber.
Fabian carefully removed the chest from the bag.
"So this is the cause of everything," said Nina.
"In any case, it's a clue," said Fabian.
"But don't open it, because it is cursed," said Alfie, as he put a blanket on top of the chest.
"If you thought so, why did you take it with you?" Asked Nina.
"I was stupid," said Alfie.
"Yes, you were very super stupid. I had hoped it was over, but now it isn't," said Nina.
"But there's nothing we can do about that now. The chest is now here," said Fabian.
"I wanted to bury it," said Alfie.
"Then why didn't you?" Asked Patricia.
"Because Amber didn't allow it," said Alfie.
"So Amber knew you had the chest?" Asked Nina.
"Oops," said Alfie.
"But I only just know for a little while, I only know for a day," said Amber.
"A couple of days," said Alfie.
"So what! It's so much worse to steal a chest from a tomb," said Amber.
"No way, betraying your best friend is much worse," said Alfie.
"That's not true, what you did," said Amber.
Amber and Alfie began to bicker. And suddenly light came out from under the blanket. The club looked at the light with bewildered face.
At the same time. Joy was sitting in the living room and reading a magazine. Otis walked into the living room and sat down next to her.
"Hey," said Otis.
"Hi," said Joy.
"Is everything okay?" Asked Otis.
"Yes, I'm fine," said Joy.
"Are you really fine?" Asked Otis.
"That's what I said," said Joy.
"Joy I've the feeling that something is bothering you," said Otis.
"You know what's bothering me? My boyfriend doesn't find me attractive anymore," said Joy.
"What that is not true at all," said Otis.
"Then why are you so excited to photograph that Miss England? The most beautiful woman in England according to you," said Joy.
"You're beautiful too," said Otis.
"But I'm not a beauty queen like she is," said Joy.
"Joy you're the prettiest girl I know both on the outside and on the inside," said Otis.
"You really think so?" Asked Joy.
"Yeah, I fell in love with you for a reason," said Otis.
"And are you still?" Asked Joy.
"Why do you have your doubts about that?" Asked Otis.
"I don't know exactly either," said Joy.
"You're my girlfriend. You're the only girl for me. The only girl I love," said Otis.
"Really?" Asked Joy.
Yes, I love you Joy Mercer," said Otis
"I love you too Otis Garfield," said Joy.
Joy and Otis gave each other a kiss.
"And I'm sorry I acted like this," said Joy.
"It's okay," said Otis.
"But can you promise one thing?" Asked Joy.
"Sure anything you want," said Otis.
"That you won't drool too much during that photo shoot when you see that Miss England," said Joy.
"I promise," said Otis.
Back in Nina and Amber's room. Fabian wanted to remove the blanket. Amber was hiding behind Aaron and Alfie had hidden himself under Amber's makeup table. Fabian's hand came closer and closer to the blanket and then the glowing stopped.
"Did you see that?" Asked Fabian.
"How can you miss it," said Aaron.
"Is it gone?" Asked Alfie.
"Yes, the glowing has stopped," said Fabian.
Alfie came out from under the makeup table and joined the rest of the club. Fabian removed the blanket from the chest.
"Can we go and bury the chest now?" Asked Amber.
"Whoa wait we can't just bury the chest right now. I don't even know what's in it," said Fabian.
"Do we need to know?" Asked Nina.
"Yeah, otherwise we don't know what it is," said Fabian.
"Fabian, it's cursed," said Alfie.
"I really don't need to know what's in it. It must go back to Egypt," said Nina.
"Agreed," said Amber.
"Fabian, didn't you want it to end too?" Asked Nina.
"Yes but. Maybe there's something really important in it," said Fabian.
"No not really. What's in it is so boring," said Alfie.
"There's nothing to it," said Amber.
"So you know what's in it? Have you seen what's in it?" Asked Fabian.
"Just for a little while," lied Alfie.
"But like for only 3 seconds or so," lied Amber.
"And those are the dullest 3 seconds of your life," lied Alfie.
"Yes, so we can now bury the chest. because I don't want it to glow again, I find that really scary," said Amber.
"Can someone decide what to do with this chest?" Asked Aaron.
"We don't have to decide anything, because it goes back to Egypt and until then we bury it so it can do no more harm," said Nina.
"We're not even sure if it's harmful," said Fabian.
"Didn't you see that there was a bad symbol on it," said Patricia.
"Yes, but maybe I misunderstood it," said Fabian.
"Mr. Rutter, you can go find yourself a chest that you can examine, because we are going to bury this one," said Amber.
"And very deep in the ground, all the way to China," said Alfie.
"We're going to make sure this chest won't do any harm," said Nina.
"Sibuna," said Amber, while she did the Sibuna gesture.
"Sibuna," said the rest of the club, expect for Fabian, while they did the Sibuna gesture.
"Fabian, said Aaron.
"Sibuna, said Fabian.
"Alright then we're gonna bury it in the garden tonight, said Aaron.
"Good, said Amber.
"Then we'll see each other tonight at 12:00 pm in the garden," said Fabian.
"I'm not going, I'm too scared and my hands will get dirty," said Amber.
"fine, maybe it's better if we don't go all together, just with four," said Fabian.
"Is it okay if I don't go too?" Asked Alfie.
"Who brought the chest here?" Asked Aaron.
"Super Alfie," said Alfie.
"So Super Alfie is coming along," said Aaron.
"Wait I can't go either," said Nina.
"Why not?" Asked Fabian.
"Victor will probably lock our door again," said Nina.
"Yes, that's really ridiculous. What if one of us has to go to the bathroom, or no, imagine a fire breaking out, or no, a thief comes through the window," said Amber.
"Amber calm down," said Patricia.
"Okay, then the four of us will go," said Fabian.
A few hours later. The club except for Nina and Amber were in the garden.
"Where are Nina and Amber?" Asked Alfie.
"I saw Victor standing by their room door and I saw him lock the door," said Patricia.
"Okay then we've to do it with the four of us," said Fabian.
"Good thing you have Super Alfie with you," said Alfie.
"Then start digging Super Alfie," said Aaron.
The club began to dig a hole. After digging for a few minutes, the hole was deep enough to put the chest in. Fabian carefully placed the chest in the hole. The club backfilled the hole with soil and tamped the ground neatly.
"And now?" Asked Patricia.
"Now we're going to bed," said Fabian.
"No, I mean with the chest," said Patricia.
"We've to wait for a chance to go back to Egypt," said Fabian.
"Let's get inside quickly before Victor finds us here," said Aaron.
"Good idea," said Fabian.
The club walked back inside. The club didn't realize that green smoke was coming from the ground, exactly where the chest was buried.
A few moments later. Nina was dreaming about Sarah again. Nina opened her eyes and saw Sarah standing next to her bed.
"Nina," said Sarah.
"Sarah," said Nina.
"Come on Nina, we've no time to lose. We've to go," said Sarah.
Sarah walked to the door and left the room. Nina got up and walked to the door. Nina opened the door and followed Sarah to the entrance of the cellar
"Nina," said Sarah.
"What do I've to do?" Asked Nina.
"Follow the way of your heart, you know what you're looking for," said Sarah.
"But I don't understand. What is that then?" Asked Nina.
"Find the Mask of Anubis," said Sarah.
"The Mask of Anubis? I do not know what that is," said Nina.
"Follow the way of your heart," said Sarah.
Sarah disappeared again. Nina walked to the cellar door and it opened by itself. Nina entered the cellar and went straight to the secret room. Nina entered the secret room and stood in front of the secret wall. Nina put her hand on the wall and her hand went through the wall. Nina withdrew her hand and looked at her hand with a bewildered look. Nina took a few steps back and looked at the wall.
"Follow your heart," said Nina.
Nina took a deep breath and then walked towards the wall and walked straight through the wall. Nina had entered a chamber. Nina looked around and saw a picture of Robert Frobisher-Smythe hanging on the wall and then she saw a statue of the god Anubis. Nina also saw what looked like a tunnel, but when Nina wanted to walk into the tunnel but there was a strong wind that stopped her from going.
"Sarah! I don't know what to do! Sarah!" Shouted Nina.
But Sarah did not appear. Nina decided to go back. But when she wanted to go through the wall, the wall had become a wall again and she couldn't get away.
"Sarah? Sarah! Let me out! Help! Fabian!" Shouted Nina.
But no one could hear Nina. Nina was locked in the secret room.
How is it possible that Nina is locked in the secret room? Was it because of the chest? Will the club be able to find Nina? And what else can be found in the chamber behind the secret wall?
