House of Mimes:
Nina was still locked in the chamber. Amber had a dream about Nina and saw Nina go with Sarah and that she just disappeared.
"Nina!" Shouted Amber.
Amber looked at Nina's bed and saw that it was empty. Amber got up and walked to the door and tried to open the door, but the door was locked.
"There's something wrong," said Amber.
Amber walked to her bed and picked up her phone from her nightstand. Amber called Aaron.
"Hello...," said Aaron, still half asleep
"Aaron, I had a nightmare," said Amber.
"Do you want me to sing you a song?" Asked Aaron.
"No, listen I had a nightmare about Nina, but it seemed real," said Amber.
"It wasn't real, it was just a dream take it easy," said Aaron.
"No you don't understand. I woke up and Nina's bed is empty, she's gone," said Amber.
"She probably went to the bathroom or something," guessed Aaron.
"That can't be because the door is locked," said Amber.
"But how is she gone?" Asked Aaron
"I don't know. It is not right. We've to look for her," said Amber.
"Okay stay on the line, I'm going to get Fabian," said Aaron.
Aaron got up and sneaked over to Fabian's room.
"Fabian wake up," said Aaron.
"What?" Asked Fabian.
"It's me Aaron," said Aaron.
"Aaron what are you doing here?" Asked Fabian.
"Nina has disappeared," said Aaron.
"What? Why do you say that?" Asked Fabian.
"Amber called me and told me that Nina is gone, said Fabian.
"What?" Asked Fabian.
"She'll tell you herself," said Aaron.
Aaron handed his phone to Fabian.
"Amber?" Asked Fabian.
"It's Nina," said Amber.
"What's up with Nina?" Asked Fabian.
"She is gone," said Amber.
"Take it easy. What exactly happened?" Asked Fabian.
"I had a nightmare about Nina and when I woke up she was gone," said Amber.
"Maybe she's sleepwalking again, we're going to find her," said Fabian.
"No, she can't, because the door is locked," said Anber.
"How is that possible?" Asked Fabian.
"It is true," said Amber.
"Amber we're coming to you," said Fabian.
"I'll get Alfie," said Aaron.
"Then I'll get Patricia," said Fabian.
"Amber stay where you are, we'll see you soon," said Aaron.
"Like I can go anywhere," said Amber.
Fabian hung up the phone and handed it back to Aaron. Aaron went to Alfie's room. Fabian sneaked upstairs and woke Patricia. A few seconds later, the club was at Nina and Amber's room. Alfie tried to open the door, but couldn't.
"It's locked," said Alfie.
"But how is it possible that Nina got out?" Asked Patricia.
"I don't know, the door is locked but she's gone," said Amber.
"Maybe aliens abducted her," said Alfie.
"This not time for jokes Alfie," said Aaron.
"I'm serious, Aliens really aren't chill," said Alfie.
"Oh just shut up Alfie," said Patricia.
"What are we gonna do now?" Asked Amber.
"Okay where can she be?" Asked Fabian.
"The cellar?" Guessed Patricia.
"But it's also locked and we can't open it that easily," said Fabian.
"And we can't through the secret passageway either, because Nina has the locket," said Aaron.
"What now?" Asked Patricia.
"We've to do something," said Amber.
"Amber calm down," said Aaron.
Suddenly the club heard footsteps coming their way and the four club members hid in the bathroom. Fabian opened the door and saw Victor Jr. walking. A few seconds later and Victor left again.
"Aaron call Amber," said Fabian.
"Why don't we just go to her door?" Asked Aaron.
"There too much of a risk that we get caught," said Fabian.
"Okay," said Aaron
Aaron grabbed his phone and called Amber.
"Yes," said Amber.
"Amber we're in the bathroom, we're talking to you this way otherwise there's a big chance Victor will see us," said Aaron.
"Okay," said Amber.
"Just a quick summary, her room is locked up and she's not on her bed," said Alfie.
"You should never have taken the chest from Egypt. First those nightmares and now this. What if she never comes back," said Amber.
"The chest is buried anyway. So that can't do any harm," said Alfie.
"I don't know," said Fabian
"What are we going to do now?" Asked Aaron.
"I can only think of one thing," said Fabian.
"We must try everything," said Amber.
"I can't think of anything else," said Fabian.
"What is it?" Asked Aaron.
"Tell us," said Patricia.
"We've to dig up the chest again," said Fabian.
The club with stunned faces at Fabian. Amber almost dropped her phone when she heard Fabian's idea.
"No, no, I don't think that's very smart, because that chest has already started misery," said Alfie.
"You started all this misery Alfie," said Amber.
"Listen, if I'd known the chest would cause so much trouble, I'd never have taken it," said Alfie.
"But you have been told not to take the chest," said Amber.
"Guys stop arguing," said Patricia.
"Yes, it's about Nina now, she's gone. And she's gone since the chest was buried," said Fabian.
"So to get Nina back, we've to dig up the chest again?" Asked Aaron.
"Yes I think so," said Fabian.
"If you really think that," said Patricia.
"I really think so and tomorrow after breakfast we will dig up the chest again," said Fabian.
The club agreed with Fabian's plan.
The next day. The residents except for Nina were having breakfast.
"Where is Nina?" Asked Mara.
"Nina is not feeling well, so she stays in bed for a while," lied Amber.
"Today is the big day, we're going to meet Miss England," said Eddie.
"You two are so lucky," said Alfie.
"Yep, I get to talk to the most beautiful woman in England and Otis gets to capture everything," said Eddie.
"This is gonna be a great day," said Otis.
The Anubis residents had finished breakfast and were ready to go to school. Victor Jr. entered the living room with a shovel.
"Trudy," said Victor jr.
"Oh Victor you make me so happy, said Trudy.
"I don't do it for fun. Are you sure you want this? Asked Victor jr.
"Absolutely sure, said Trudy.
"Now I'll get to work, said Victor jr.
"My hero, said Trudy.
Trudy gave Victor Jr. a hug and Victor Jr. walked away.
"What will Victor do for you? Asked KT.
"Victor is going to dig around the garden for all my new plants, said Trudy.
The club started to panic when they heard that Victor jr. was going to dig in the yard. The club quickly made their way towards the garden. Joy walked over to Patricia before she could go to the garden.
"Patricia," said Joy.
"Yeah, what's up Joy?" Asked Patricia.
"Doesn't it bother you?" Asked Joy.
"What?" Asked Patricia.
"That whole Miss England photo shoot," said Joy.
"I thought you and Otis had talked this through," said Patricia.
"We did, but...," said Joy.
"Joy you must trust Otis," said Patricia.
"Do you trust Eddie?" Asked Joy.
"Yes," said Patricia.
"Okay, then I can trust Otis," said Joy.
"But how please keep an eye out for me," said Patricia.
"Can't you do that yourself?" Asked Joy.
"I don't have time," said Patricia.
Patricia walked away and went to the rest of the club.
In the meantime in the garden. Victor Jr. was digging and the club was watching him from behind the bushes.
"He is going straight to the chest," said Fabian.
"We've to stop him," said Aaron.
"I've an idea," said Alfie.
"What is it?" Asked Patricia.
"Come with me Amber," said Alfie.
"Okay," said Amber.
"As soon as Victor is gone you grab the chest," said Alfie.
Amber and Alfie walked away and the rest of the club stayed and watched Victor.
A few moments later. Jerome and Mara were walking down the hall of the school. Jerome got a text, you looked at his phone and saw that it was a text from his father.
"A text from my father," said Jerome.
"What does he write?" Asked Mara.
"He has found a job," said Jerome.
"That is amazing," said Mara.
"In New Castle and my sister is going to live with him," said Jerome.
"Are you sad?" Asked Mara.
"You know as long as he's safe and doesn't do anything stupid, I'm happy," said Jerome.
"And you can always see him on vacations," said Mara.
"Yes and maybe I can go to a college in New Castle if I graduate," said Jerome.
"That's also an option," said Mara.
Mara and Jerome continued to their lesson and entered the classroom.
Back at the house. Victor Jr. was still digging and he hit the chest
"What do we've here," said Victor jr.
Victor Jr. began to dig and was about to discover the box. Then loud music came into the house. Victor Jr. put the shovel down and entered the house.
"He is gone, said Patricia.
"Let's go," said Aaron.
"You guys stay on watch, I'll grab the chest," said Fabian.
Aaron and Patricia kept watch, and Fabian grabbed the shovel and began to dig.
At that same time. Victor entered the house and saw Amber and Alfie dressed as mimes and they were preforming an act. Trudy also came to watch and became completely enthusiastic.
"What's up with that noise?" Asked Victor jr.
"Isn't fun Victor?" Asked Trudy.
Victor Jr. turned off the music.
"I don't know if it hurts my eyes more or my ears," said Victor jr.
"Fantastic, you two were fantastic," said Trudy, while she applauded Amber and Alfie.
"What are you still doing here? You two should've been at school a long time ago," said Victor jr.
"Didn't you like it?" Asked Amber.
"I thought it was a terrible," said Victor jr.
"But this is for school," said Alfie.
"Yes, for dramatic expression. That's good personal development," said Amber.
"You shouldn't believe everything they tell you there," said Victor jr.
Victor Jr. walked away and Alfie turned the music back on. Amber and Alfie continued with their act. Victor turned and turned the music off again. At that same moment Fabian, Aaron and Patricia arrived, with Fabian holding a bag with the chest in it.
"Third class mimes I don't wanna see or hear this anymore," said Victor.
"Yes, then tell us that right away," said Amber.
"Yes, then we will go to someone else who can appreciate our mime act," said Amber.
Alfie grabbed the MP-3 player and walked upstairs with the club. Victor turned and saw Trudy's angry face.
"What?" Asked Victor jr.
"Culture barbarian," said Trudy.
Trudy went to the kitchen and Victor jr. went back to the garden.
At the same time, the club was walking upstairs down the hall and they were on their way to Nina and Amber's room. Suddenly Fabian heard something coming from the attic. Fabian walked to the attic and suddenly the door opened and Nina was standing in the doorway. Nina looked tired and she was covered in dirt.
"Nina!" Shouted Fabian.
Fabian put the bag down and hurried over to Nina. Nina, who no longer had the strength to stand, fell into Fabian's arms. The rest of the club rushed to Nina and Fabian.
"Nina," said Amber.
"Is everything alright?" Asked Patricia.
"What happened?" Asked Aaron.
But before Nina could say anything, she lost consciousness. Fabian lifted her up.
"We gotta take her somewhere," said Fabian.
"Come let's take her to our room," said Amber.
"Watch out, out of the way," said Fabian
Fabian carried Nina to her room and the club followed Fabian into Nina's room.
In the meantime at school. Otis and Eddie were in the boys' bathroom, looking at themselves in the mirror.
"Have you prepared your interview?' Asked Otis.
"Yes," said Eddie.
"Good," said Otis.
"Is your camera fully charged?" Asked Eddie.
"My camera is charged, I have two spare batteries and my charging cable," said Otis.
"Goodbye Otis, we can't mess this up," said Eddie.
"I get that," said Otis.
"How many school papers can say they interviewed Miss England, said Eddie.
"As of today ours," said Otis.
"Precisely," said Eddie.
Otis and Eddie left the boys' bathroom and went to the drama room.
Back at the house. Nina had woken up.
"Are feeling better?" Asked Fabian.
"Yes, I'm feeling little better," said Nina.
Fabian took Nina's hand and looked at her with a concerned look.
"Can you remember anything?" Asked Fabian.
"Yeah, tell me about your big secret disappearing trick," said Alfie.
"I discovered something. I was dreaming," said Nina.
"About Sarah?" Asked Fabian.
"She led me to the cellar and she told me to find the Mask of Anubis," said Nina.
"What does that mean?" Asked Alfie.
"But how did you get out of our room?" asked Amber.
"It was suddenly open," said Nina.
"That is not possible! I checked it," said Amber.
"It is true. The cellar door also opened when I stood in front of it," said Nina.
"Do you suddenly have super powers or something?" Asked Alfie.
"I don't know. But this is nothing compared to what happened next," said Nina.
"What happened?" Asked Aaron.
"Behind the secret wall, there's another room," said Nina.
"What?" Asked Patricia.
"Are you sure?" Asked Fabian.
Nina nodded her head.
"How do you know that?" Asked Aaron.
"I went through the wall and then I came into that room. There was a picture of Robert Frobisher-Smythe on the wall and I saw a statue of the god Anubis. And when I wanted to go back the wall was a wall again and I was locked up, said Nina.
"But how did you come back?" Asked Amber.
"I don't know, I was suddenly in the attic," said Nina.
"It's because of this," said Fabian.
Fabian picked up the bag and took the chest out.
"It has everything to do with this chest," said Fabian.
The club didn't know what to think anymore, but what they also didn't know was that Victor Sr. had heard everything.
A few minutes later. Victor Jr. entered the cellar and sat down.
"Weakling, said Victor sr.
Victor covered his ears, thinking he was going crazy because he heard his father.
"You heard me," said Victor sr.
"No," said Victor jr.
"Victor!" Shouted Victor sr.
"Yes, father," said Victor jr.
"Good, come to me," said Victor sr.
Victor Jr. hesitated and looked away from the mirror.
"Now!" Shouted Victor sr.
Victor Jr. walked over to the mirror and stood in front of the mirror.
"Do it you weakling!" Ordered Victor sr.
Victor put his hand on the mirror and a bright white flash appeared. Victor Jr. had traded places with his father. Victor Sr. walked to the secret room and stood in front of the secret wall.
"It must be here somewhere. I'm so close. The Mask of Anubis is mine," said Victor sr.
Victor Sr. grabbed a chair. Victor Sr. swung the chair at the wall and then a sheet of blinded light appeared. Victor Sr. dropped the chair and covered his eyes.
"My eyes! I'm blind," said Victor sr.
What was going on? What is that light? And will the club find the secret room before Victor Sr.?
