House of Tunnels:
The club was blown to the ground by the bang. The club slowly started to get back on their feet.
"I can't see anything," said Amber.
"I don't see anything either help," said Alfie.
The dust slowly cleared and there was a large hole in the secret wall.
"The wall is gone," said Patricia.
"There's a space behind it, just like in my dream," said Nina.
"It really exists," said Fabian.
"Can we go now?" Asked Amber.
"Go? Go inside yes,' said Nina.
Nina, Fabian, Aaron and Patricia entered the chamber.
"Can't I wait here so that way I can see if anyone's coming," said Amber.
"In horror movies, the last person to be left behind is the first to die," said Alfie.
"Like you can scare me," said Amber.
"Amber you will be all alone in a room, her friends were already gone. She heard voices and everything was crawling on the ground," teased Alfie.
"Okay I'm going with you," said Amber.
Amber and Alfie entered the chamber. The club was amazed by what they saw.
"Wow," said Aaron.
"Do you already feel something tickling on your shoulder Amber?" Asked Alfie.
"Why do you ask that?" Asked Amber.
"Because there's a spider on your shoulder," teased Alfie.
Amber started screaming and wanted to get out of the room, but Aaron stopped her.
"Amber calm down, there's no spider at all," said Aaron.
"Anubis, said Fabian, as he stood in front of the statue.
"It just like in my dream," said Nina.
"How did this get here?" Asked Patricia.
"I think it was built by Sarah's father," said Fabian.
"Dude why would anyone put in so much effort?" Asked Alfie.
Fabian put the bag down and took the mine house out of the chest.
"How is that possible? Asked Fabian.
"What is it?" Asked Nina.
"The numbers are gone," said Fabian.
"Are you sure?" Asked Aaron.
"Yeah, there's nothing at all," said Fabian.
"Let me see," said Alfie.
Alfie bumped into Fabian and the mini house fell to the ground, but the house didn't start shaking.
"There has been no earthquake," said Aaron.
"The voodoo is worn out," said Alfie.
"Good then we're safe," said Amber, as she walked father down the tunnel
"Wait," said Nina.
Suddenly a gate fell down and Amber was trapped. Amber turned around and started to scream.
In the meantime. Joy lay in her bed and couldn't sleep. Joy could only think of Otis and Miss England's kiss. Joy turned to Patricia's bed and saw that it was empty.
Back in the tunnels . The club tried to open the gate, to free Amber.
"Alfie, begged Amber.
"I'll save you, said Alfie.
"Get me out, begged Amber.
The club tried with all their might to open the gate, but failed.
"It's no use, we can't get any movement in it, said Patricia.
"There must be a way to get that gate open, said Aaron.
The club searched the room and Nina stayed with Amber. Fabian looked at the photo of Robert Frobisher-Smythe and saw that it had something written on it.
"Here's something," said Fabian.
"Does it say how to open the gate?" Asked Amber.
"No, I don't believe so," said Fabian.
"But what does it say?" Asked Nina.
"The first touch heralds Anubis's arduous journey," said Fabian.
"The Mask of Anubis," said Nina.
"Look," said Amber, as she saw a figurine next to her.
"A figurine," said Nina.
Amber touched the statue and suddenly there was a click.
However far you have come this is only the beginning.
"Who was that?" Asked Alfie.
"I don't know," said Fabian
"It started when you touched that figurine," said Nina.
Amber looked at Nina with a sad look.
"Amber we're going to get you out of here, I promise," said Nina.
"Nina, you are my best friend and always will be. Do you want to take good care of my clothes and my shoe you want to clean them every day," said Amber.
"It's going to be okay sis," said Aaron.
"Aaron you're the best twin brother a twin sister could wish for. And Alfie you know I think you're a little weird, but also really sweet. I'm going to miss you so much," said Amber.
Suddenly there was another clicking sound. Patricia shone with her flashlight to the wall and saw a speaker.
My name is Robert Frobisher-Smythe.
"Sarah's father, said Fabian.
Pay attention, for this is only the beginning of Anubis's grueling journey. No challenge is greater or more dangerous, because the Mask of Anubis does not give up easily. Bravery and smarts have already been shown, but realize that only the bravest and the smartest can handle this long road fraught with danger.
In the meantime. KT entered the bathroom and saw Joy sitting on the floor.
"Oh sorry, the door wasn't locked and I just came to drink some water," said KT.
"Go ahead," said Joy.
"Is everything alright?" Asked KT.
"Why shouldn't I be alright?" Asked Joy.
"Because you're sitting here alone on the bathroom floor in the middle of the night," said KT.
"I can't sleep," said Joy.
KT took a quick sip of water and then sat on the floor next to Joy.
"Why can't you sleep?" Asked KT.
"I can only think of Otis and Miss England," said Joy.
"Yes, then I understand that you can't sleep," said KT.
"Otis stopped by my room earlier," said Joy.
"What did he say?" Asked KT.
"Nothing. But at least I now know that it's certain between him and Miss England," said Joy.
"Sorry to say this, but Otis and Miss England? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds," said KT.
"I know what I've seen," said Joy.
"Joy not all is as it seems like," said KT.
"This was obvious," said Joy.
"I just can't imagine Otis and Miss England," said KT.
"You don't Otis that long," said Joy.
"But what do Patricia and Mara say about this?" Asked KT.
"They can't imagine it either," said Joy.
"Well then. And I haven't known Otis very long, but Otis is crazy about you and I've come to know that," said KT.
"Apparently not anymore, I'm no match for that blond bimbo," said Joy.
"Do you want me to talk to him?" Asked KT.
No, maybe you should focus on your own love," said Joy.
"What love are you talking about?" Asked KT.
"I'm talking about Aaron," said Joy.
"Aaron?" Asked KT.
"Yes, I see how he looks at you and how you look at him," said Joy.
"Do I look at him a certain way?" Asked KT.
"Yes, and the look says you fancy him," said Joy.
"I think he is nice and sweet and I can talk to him easily about pretty much everything," said KT.
"And he's handsome," said Joy.
"Do you think so?" Asked KT.
"I think Aaron is a very good looking guy and I think, you think that too," said Joy.
"I think he looks really good," said KT.
"Well then, make work of him," said Joy.
"Do you think he likes me?" Asked KT.
"I know that for sure," said Joy.
"How do you know that?" Asked KT.
"I just know," said Joy.
"Then I'm sure you and Otis will be fine," said KT.
"How do you know that?" Asked Joy.
"I just know," said KT.
Back in the room. The club was still listening to Robert Frobisher-Smythe's message.
Prepare for the journey of journeys. The most important quest for the most precious thing there is. Only the one who gives everything will eventually reach the goal. Remember when you want to move forward, sometimes you have to take a step back. Follow this and the other clues find the artifacts and the Anubis house will reveal its secrets one by one.
The tape ended and the club had no idea what to do with the message.
"But what is that clue?" Asked Alfie.
"I've no idea," said Aaron.
Alfie turned to the speaker.
"Hi, could you please repeat that or rewind the tape?" Asked Alfie.
"We're overlooking something," said Fabian.
"But what?" Asked Nina.
"Hello, can you get me out of here, begged Amber.
Alfie took the photo off the wall and turned it over to see that it had something written on the back.
"Guys Super Alfie has a something," said Alfie.
"What is it?" Asked Aaron.
The club walked over to Alfie.
"What have you discovered?" Asked Fabian.
"There's something written on it," said Alfie.
"About how to get the gate open?" Asked Amber.
"It says: Everything begins with Anubis," said Alfie, as he read the text of the photo.
The club looked at the statue of Anubis and suddenly the eyes started to glow red.
"A first clue. We found it," said Fabian.
"Amber I got it. Sarah's father said sometimes you have to take a step back to move forward," said Nina.
"So?" Asked Amber.
"You gotta take a step back," said Nina.
"Oh no, it's very dark and scary in there," said Amber.
"Amber do you want to stay here forever?" Asked Nina.
"No," said Amber.
"Then you know what to do," said Nina.
Amber took a deep breath and walked into the tunnel. Once Amber walked down the down the gate went up and ran to the rest of the club and hugged them.
"I'm free," said Amber.
"Welcome back Amber," said Patricia.
"Guys we're in the secret tunnels, we got the first clue," said Fabian.
"And we're complete again," said Aaron.
"Sibuna," said Amber, as she did the Sibuna gesture.
"Sibuna," said the rest of the club, while they did the Sibuna gesture.
In the meantime in Aaron and Otis's room. Otis was asleep in his bed and he was having a nightmare about Jeremiah and what would happen if he didn't get money. Otis woke up with a start and was all sweaty.
"I need to get that money somehow," said Otis.
A few moments later. The club was still in the secret tunnels. Aaron shone his flashlight at the statue of Anubis and saw something. Aaron walked over and picked up a small box. Aaron opened the box and inside was a small blue bottle wrapped in a piece of papyrus.
"Guys look what I found," said Aaron.
"That's the artifact," said Nina.
"What's on the note?" Asked Patricia.
Aaron removed the note and handed it to Fabian.
"Let the contents of this artifact follow the reverse path, where the smoke finds its way out on a small scale," said Fabian.
"Another riddle?" Can this man never say what he means? Asked Amber.
"Let the contents of this artifact follow the reverse path, where the smoke finds its way out on a small scale," repeated Fabian.
"Do you know what it means?" Asked Nina.
"Not yet," said Fabian.
"Can we go? Because I still find it really scary here," said Amber.
The club left the tunnels. Fabian saw the three domino stones lying among the rubble and picked them up.
"Where is Fabian?" Asked Nina.
"He is coming," said Aaron.
Fabian left the secret room and joined the rest of the club.
"I found the domino stone among the rubble," said Fabian.
The club left the cellar and went to Nina and Amber's room and celebrated their discovery. Fabian put the bag with the chest down on Amber's makeup table. The club was actually so happy that they were almost at a loss for words to describe their feelings.
"This is the best movie I've ever seen," said Alfie.
"You can't believe this, can you?" Asked Fabian.
"Those tunnels look insane," said Aaron.
"And there are under the house, said Nina.
"This is..., I don't even know how to describe it, said Fabian.
"Guys it's been a long day, let's go to sleep, said Nina.
"If we even manage to do that," said Aaron.
"What do we do with the chest?" Asked Amber.
"We'll leave it here," said Nina.
"Oh no, you know that I find that chest very scary," said Amber.
"It's not a voodoo house anymore," said Alfie.
"I'll keep it under my bed then," said Nina.
The club did not realize that black smoke was coming from the chest. Suddenly the spirit of a woman emerged from the black smoke.
"Finally free," said the spirit lady.
The club turned and saw the spirit of the woman.
"Who are you?" Asked Fabian.
"I'm Senkhara," said Senkhara.
"What do you want?" Asked Nina.
"I want the Mask of Anubis and you are going to bring it to me," said Senkhara.
Suddenly there appeared on Senkhara's palms marks resembling the god Anubis. And great gray flash appeared and Senkhara laughed maliciously.
Who is Senkhara? What does Senkhara want from the club? What awaits the club in the tunnels?
(Side note: Senkhara was not in the Dutch version, but I thought the Senkhara plot was kind of interesting, so I'm using her. All too she won't be in my story so much and I'll make some changes.)
