The gray flash was gone and it was morning. Nina and Amber woke up at the same time.
"Nina?" Asked Amber.
"Yes," said Nina.
"Did you also dreamed about an evil and scary woman named Sahara?" Asked Amber.
"You mean Senkhara?" Asked Nina.
"Yes I mean her," said Amber.
"I guess it wasn't a dream," said Nina.
"I was afraid you were going to say that," said Amber.
Patricia walked into the room and didn't look happy.
"Patricia did you also see Senkhara?" Asked Nina.
"Yes and when I woke up I saw this," said Patricia.
Patricia showed her wrist to Nina and Amber and on her wrist was the same mark that Senkhara also had on her palms.
"Do you guys have one too?" Asked Patricia.
Nina and Amber went to the mirror and looked for the mark. Nina found hers on her left upper arm and Amber found hers on her right ankle.
"Oh no," said Nina.
"I don't know who I should be more afraid of Senkhara or my parents if they find out about this," said Amber.
Then the rest of the club came into the room.
"What happened last night?" Asked Aaron.
"I don't know exactly," said Fabian.
"We were here and then Senkhara appeared, then there appeared that gray flash," said Nina.
"And then we all woke up to this one," said Amber.
The girl showed the boys their sign. The three boys went to see if they also had a mark. Fabian found his on his right upper arm, Aaron found his on the inside of his left forearm and Alfie found his on his calf.
"I would like an explanation for this," said Alfie.
"I also don't know it," said Fabian.
"This must be the work of Senkhara," said Nina.
"Who's this Senkhara lady?" Asked Aaron.
"As soon as I can, I'll start looking for answers to who exactly Senkhara is," said Fabian.
"And what about the riddle?" Asked Amber.
"That will come later, first this has priority," said Fabian.
"And should we now? No one can see these tattoos," said Aaron.
"We've to hide them," said Fabian.
The club agreed with Fabian and hoped he would find answers soon.
In the meantime. Victor Jr. walked into the cellar. When Victor Jr. entered the cellar he smelled a burning smell.
"Fire!" Shouted Victor jr.
Victor Jr. bumped into something as he tried to get away.
"Victor! Shouted Victor sr.
"Father," said Victor jr.
"Where have you been all this time?" Asked Victor sr.
"Something's on fire," said Victor jr.
"What you smell is the gate to the path leading to the Mask of Anubis," said Victor sr.
"The gate? Did I do a good job?" Asked Victor jr.
"You? Those kids have found the path. All you've done is burn your eyes," said Victor sr.
"The children? But how is that possible?" Asked Victor jr.
"That's unimportant. You failed again! I'm starting to doubt if you're a real Rodenmaar," said Victor sr.
"Yes, I'm. I'm a real Rodenmaar and I'll prove it," said Victor jr.
"Then do that! Bring me the Mask of Anubis," said Victor sr.
"Yes father. I will, I promise you," said Victor jr.
Victor sr. said nothing and vanished.
An half an hour later. Some residents were still having breakfast and some had already left for school.
"Where is Patricia? Asked Nina.
"I think she's already at school, said Aaron.
"Guys can I just say I'm freaked out by that we all got a tattoo from that spooky ghost lady," said Amber.
"Amber, I'll be looking for answers as soon as possible," said Fabian.
"Then what are you still here, get to work," said Amber.
"I've to have breakfast," said Fabian.
"The sooner you get answers, the sooner we'll figure out how to get rid of that spooky ghost lady," said Aaron.
"You mean Senkhara," said Fabian.
"Sorry that I had forgotten her name for a second, I'm just like Amber freaked out about the situation" said Aaron.
"We need to find out something about her or we'll have a big problem," said Nina.
At the same time, a grumpy Eddie entered the living room and sat down at the table.
"Do you also have problems?" Asked Eddie.
"Can't you look a little happier?" Asked Amber.
"Otis ruined my whole interview with Miss England," said Eddie.
"How did he do that? Asked Amber.
"At first he breaks that tiara and then he kisses her, said Eddie.
"So it's really true that they kissed? Asked Fabian.
"Yes," said Eddie.
"I thought it was just a rumor," said Amber.
"No, not a rumor. It is true," said Eddie.
"Does Joy know about it?" Asked Nina.
"She saw it happen," said Eddie.
"She did?" Asked Aaron.
"Yep," said Eddie.
"Poor Joy," said Nina.
"Yeah nobody had a good day yesterday," said Eddie.
The residents finished their breakfast and then went to school.
A few moments later and all the Anubis residents were at school. Alfie was at his locker and Jerome walked over to him.
"We've a problem," said Jerome.
"What is it?" Asked Alfie.
"Mara has discovered the letter," said Jerome.
"And?" Asked Alfie.
"She couldn't really laugh about it," said Jerome.
"Understandable, it's not really a funny joke," said Alfie.
"And now we've to find a guy for Trudy," said Jerome.
"We've to do what now?" Asked Alfie.
"You heard me," said Jerome.
"We've to find a guy for Trudy?" Asked Alfie.
"Yes, you, me and Otis," said Jerome.
"Speaking of Otis. Where is he?" Asked Alfie.
"No idea," said Jerome.
In the meantime. Joy and KT were already in the classroom.
"I don't feel like going to school today," said Joy.
"Because of Otis?" Asked KT.
"Yes," said Joy.
At that same moment, Otis entered the classroom and sat down at the table in front of Joy.
"Joy pleas listen to me, I can explain," said Otis.
"You don't have to explain, I've seen what I've seen and that doesn't change anything," said Joy.
"But it is not it seems. I've an explanation," said Otis.
"Otis it's no use anymore. Just go already," said Joy.
Otis got up and sat down at a table on the other side of the classroom.
"Wasn't that a bit harsh?" Asked KT.
"How so? He's been kissing someone else, he cheated," said Joy.
Joy got tears to her eyes and quickly wiped them away when she saw the rest of the class enter.
An hour later and class was over. Mara went to her locker and Jerome, Otis and Alfie walked over to her.
"Hi guys have you found a candidate for Trudy yet?" Asked Mara.
"That's what we just wanted to talk to you about," said Otis.
"Why?" Asked Mara.
"Can't we do something easier, like become an astronaut or make world peace," said Alfie.
"Don't be so stupid and there has to be a guy out somewhere for Trudy," said Mara.
"I just don't understand what we should do?" Asked Jerome.
"You're the ones with a lot of fantasy, you proved that with that letter," said Mara.
"That was a joke. She didn't even read it," said Jerome.
"Because I found it by accident," said Mara.
"But we don't feel like it," said Jerome.
"Jerome you just make sure you feel like, otherwise I'll get very angry and you don't want that," said Mara.
"No," said Jerome.
"Well then, have fun you guys," said Mara.
Mara closed her locker and walked to the next class.
"Good luck with that dude," said Alfie, with a huge grin on his face.
"What are you grinning at nitwit, you're going to help me. And that goes for you too Otis," said Jerome.
The grins on Otis and Alfie's faces quickly disappeared. The three boys headed to their next class.
A few hours later and it was intermission. The club was in the drama room.
"Have you learned anything about Senkhara yet?" Asked Patricia.
"Yes, I've learned quite a lot," said Fabian.
"Don't keep us hanging and tell us what you know," said Aaron.
"Senkhara was an evil goddess who wanted power, she was defeated by the Chosen one and the Osirian. She was banished to the underworld," said Fabian.
"But what about the mark?" Asked Nina.
"The mark we received is called the Mark of Anubis," said Fabian.
"And what else?" Asked Nina.
"The Mark of Anubis is invisible to those who don't have the mark," said Fabian.
"Then I don't need to be worried about my father seeing this and killing me," said Amber.
"I wasn't done telling yet," said Fabian.
"Sorry," said Amber.
"Only those who have the mark can see the mark, because that is how they knew they and the other marked were marked for death," said Fabian.
"Marked for death?" Asked Amber.
"Fabian what does this mean?" Asked Nina.
"That if we don't give the Mask to Senkhara, we'll be done for it," said Fabian.
"But how did Senkhara get here?" Asked Patricia.
"I think her spirit was in the chest and she got out when the deadline was up," said Fabian.
"But now I get it," said Nina.
"What do you get now?" Asked Patricia.
"On the binding that was wrapped around the mine house was a symbol, you said it was an evil symbol," said Nina.
"The symbol of the evil god Set," said Fabian.
"Yeah, that one," said Nina.
"But of course, Frobisher-Smythe found and took the Mask of Anubis and hid it," said Fabian.
"Most likely at the end of the tunnels, said Nina.
"Yeah and Senkhara must have found out somehow and transferred her spirit into the chest," said Fabian.
"Perhaps Frobisher-Smythe found out and that's why he put it on bandages for the sign," said Nina.
"So that no one would take it and Senkhara wouldn't be freed," said Fabian.
"I really hate when do that shared brain thing," said Patricia.
"This is all your fault Alfie," said Amber.
"Why is it my fault?" Asked Alfie.
"Because you took the chest, even when Fabian said that the symbol of the evil god Beth was on it," said Amber.
"You mean the evil god Set," said Fabian.
"Who cares? Now we're all marked for death," said Amber.
"What should we do now?" Asked Aaron.
"We need to find the mask," said Fabian.
"And then what?" Asked Nina.
"Give it to Senkhara and then we'll be free," said Fabian.
"If we give it to Senkhara, the evil will win. Sarah said that the balance between good and evil must be restored," said Nina.
"Nina we've no choice," said Fabian.
Later that day. Eddie was standing by his locker. Otis came walking up to Eddie.
"Hey Eddie, said Otis.
Eddie closed his locker and glared at Otis. Eddie walked away without saying a word.
"Of course stay angry, it's all my fault. I'm sorry I broke that tiara and that's why Miss England didn't want to work with us anymore. And I understand if you don't want to work with me anymore," said Otis
"You know it didn't really matter that much anyway. I mean she really didn't tell that interesting or whatever," said Eddie.
"But you were so looking forward to it," said Otis.
"To see her and we did," said Eddie.
"We centrically did," said Otis.
"And you kissed her," said Eddie.
"Don't bring it up, that kiss got me in trouble," said Otis.
"Because now Joy thinks you cheated on her," said Eddie.
"But I didn't cheat. She kissed me and that kiss meant nothing to me," said Otis.
"But why don't you just tell Joy that," said Eddie.
"I try, but she thinks I'm dating Miss England now," said Otis.
"You and Miss England, that sounds really ridiculous," said Eddie.
"It doesn't make any sense the two of," said Otis.
"Plus she's way out of your league," said Eddie.
"And I'm in love with Joy, but she probably isn't with me anymore," said Otis.
"Joy just needs some time to cool down and she'll remember how crazy she is about you," said Eddie.
"I very much hope so," said Otis.
"And I've got your back, so I'm here for you," said Eddie.
"Thank you," said Otis.
"Come on we've to go to class or Mr. Kenneth will get mad," said Eddie.
"And must make sure that no more people get mad at me," said Otis.
"Yeah, exactly," said Eddie.
Otis and Eddie walked toward class.
At the same time in the cellar. Victor Jr. was taking a nap in the cellar.
"Victor!" Shouted Victor sr.
"Yes, father, said Victor jr. as he woke up.
"Wake up you moron," said Victor sr.
"I'm awake father," said Victor jr.
"Come to the mirror, we're going to switch," said Victor sr.
"Yes, father," said Victor jr.
Victor Jr. stood and walked over to the mirror. Victor Jr. touched the mirror and great flash appeared. Victor Sr. was now out of the mirror. Victor Sr. walked into the secret room.
"And now it's time to get what belongs to me. Thanks for the work," said Victor sr.
Victor Sr. laughed viciously and walked to the entrance of the tunnels. Victor Sr. was only a few steps away from entering the tunnels when the light appeared. Victor Sr was blinded by the bright light.
Will Victor Sr. figure out how to get into the tunnels? And who will be the first to obtain the Mask of Anubis? The club or Victor Sr?
