House of Venom:

It was already a few weeks later after the theme day. The residents were having breakfast as usual and after breakfast they headed to school. When too went to school the club noticed that Victor got a delivery and it looked kinda suspicious. Victor immediately took the wooden box to his office.


Once the residents arrived at school, Nina and Fabian discussed the plan for tonight.

'I'm nervous for tonight," said Nina.

"Yes, me too," said Fabian.

"What do you think was in that box that Victor got? Asked Nina.

"Something for the ceremony maybe, guessed Fabian.

"Speaking of the ceremony. Do you really think we'll find out more if we secretly go to that ceremony?" Asked Nina.

"I think so. Maybe we will learn more about the Ankh pieces and about the chosen one," said Fabian.

"And we now know that's Joy," said Nina.

Fabian looked at Nina as if he had doubts about Joy being the Chosen one. Nina noticed this and wanted to say something when the rest of the club arrived.

"Hey all set for tonight?" Asked Aaron.

"Yes," said Fabian.

"And what about you guys?" Asked Nina.

"I'm ready," said Patricia

"Ditto," said Aaron.

"As long as I don't have to go to that dirty scary cellar alone," said Amber.

"Okay so we're all ready," said Nina.

"Too bad that we have to go to school now," said Alfie.

The first few hours passed quickly and it was already lunch break. Mick and Mara were in the drama room. Mara was still a bit sad that she had lost the theme day challenge.

"Come on babe. You lost and that is of course a bummer. But I liked your theme day much better," said Mick

"Really?" Asked Mara

"Yes really," said Mick.

"But then why did you have cotton candy from the Amber's carnival?" Asked Mara.

"Well I was hungry and all you were all out of bites," said Mick

Mara kept talking to Mick about the theme day. Then the other Anubis entered, including Amber, and heard the conversation.

"Are you still going on about the theme day? It was weeks ago, I won and you didn't," said Amber.

"The only reason you won was because you used your daddy's money to buy all that carnival stuff," said Mara.

"I did some shopping for my theme day, just like you. That just goes to show you're a sore loser," said Amber.

"The only reason you're in this competition is because I'm with Mick now," said Mara.

"That's not true," said Amber.

You're a lair, said Mara.

"If anyone here is a liar, it's you Mara. Back when we were best friends and I had a relationship with Mick, you were after him all that time," said Amber.

"I've never tried to steal Mick from you," said Mara.

"Lies. I asked you if you fancied Mick and you said no. But then you told Patricia that you do fancy him and that you were glad our relationship was going bad," said Mara.

"I never said it like that," said Mara.

"But you were crushing on Mick when I was still with him, and you lied to me about that," said Amber.

"Because I didn't want to hurt your feelings," said Mara.

"You see, she confessed it. Who wants a liar and a boyfriend stealer as our new school ambassador," said Amber.

"You're jealous that Mick likes me far more. than he ever likes you," said Mara.

"I'm not sure I ever said that," said Mick.

"Okay there is only one way to resolve this dispute," said Jerome.

"How?" Asked Caitlin.

"With the final debate of course," said Mara.

"No, with a kitty pool," said Jerome.

"A kitty pool?" Asked Alfie

"Yes, we put it in the middle of the schoolyard, we fill it with mud, catfight. Whoever wins may become our school ambassador, joked Jerome

"But they have to fight in bikini of course, said Otis

"Of course in a bikini, said Jerome.

"Kitty pool, cat fight, I get it," said Alfie.

Jerome, Otis and Alfie laughed, while others residents didn't.

"I'm going. I can't take all this negativity," said Fiona.

"Yeah, I'm going with you," said Caitlin.

"And bad part about this is, that this negative vibe is going to follow us home," said Fiona.

"This is going to be a long day. And we're going to have a super awkward supper tonight," said Caitlin.

Fiona and Caitlin left the drama room. A few minutes later and the bell rang. The rest of the residents headed to the next class.


After school, the residents were back in the house. Nina, Amber and Aaron were in Nina and Amber's room.

"Amber can I ask you something?" Asked Aaron.

"What would you like to ask?" Asked Amber.

"What is the real reason you are running in the election?" Asked Aaron.

"Why do you ask that?" Asked Amber.

"Well because it sometimes seems like that election doesn't really matter to you. That you only do it because you don't want Mara to win," said Aaron.

"Of course I don't want Mara to win. I want to win," said Amber.

"Are you doing it to get Mick back?" Asked Nina.

"At first I was, but then I wanted to stay in the election, to prove that I'm not the dumb blonde everyone thinks I am," said Amber

"Amber you're not dumb," said Aaron.

"You only say that because you're my brother and you've to say it," said Amber

"No, I say this because I know you, because I'm your brother," said Aaron.

"I agree with Aaron. You're not a dumb blonde," said Nina

"Exactly, who came up with the name Sibuna, and found out that Anubis was spelled backwards?" Asked Aaron.

"Me," said Amber

"And who's idea was it to use her state of the art mp-3 player's to record cylinders?" Asked Nina.

"That was my idea," said Amber.

"You see you're much smarter than you think and then you let on," said Aaron.

"Plus you're a member of the Sibuna club, not everyone can say that they are a member of a super-secret club, trying to find a treasure that's hidden in their house," said Nina.

Amber was happy that Nina and Aaron were there for her. Amber hugged her brother and best friend.

Two hours later and it was dinner time. It was quiet during dinner, nobody spoke and nobody looked at each other.

Later that night. Fabian, Aaron and Alfie were waiting in the kitchen and a few moment later the girls met up with them. Fabian noticed the huge bag that Amber was caring with her.

"Amber, what's with the huge bag?" Asked Fabian.

"Supplies for our stakeout, in case of an emergency," said Amber

Where's Victor?" Asked Nina.

"We don't know," said Fabian

"What if he's already down there?" Asked Alfie

"I don't know if I want to do this, guys," said Amber.

Suddenly the secret passage opened up all on its own. This freaked out the club a little bit.

"Okay, I'm certain I don't want to do this," said Amber, who was kinda freak out.

"Shh. It's the house. It's the house, guys. It's okay. It's telling us it's safe to go down there," said Nina.

"I hate it when the house talks," said Amber.

"Okay, let's do it," said Aaron.

"I'm gonna stay here. There's something I have to do," said Patricia.

"Joy?" Asked Nina.

"Yeah, her dad will probably at the ceremony too, so this will be the perfect opportunity to get in contact with her," said Patricia.

The rest of the club agreed with Patricia. The club did the Sibuna gesture and after that the club, minus Patricia entered the secret passage to go down the cellar. The club entered the cellar and sat down at a spot where they thought they wouldn't been seen.

"It's cold," said Alfie

"Yeah," said Aaron.

Amber opened her bag and gave Aaron and Alfie something warm to wear.

"Thank you," said Alfie, said Alfie as he put on the fury bodywarmer.

"Thanks Amber," said Aaron, as he put on a thick coat and a Peruvian hat.

"Anyone else?" Asked Amber.

"Actually, yeah," said Fabian

Amber handed Fabian a light blue blanket.

"See? The bag wasn't such a bad idea after all," said Amber. "Nina?" She asked, as she offered Nina a bright red blanket

"Oh, no, thanks. The red's too bright. They'll see us. I'm fine," said Nina.

"You can use this if you want to," said Fabian.

Fabian gave half of his blanket to Nina to keep her warm.

Meanwhile upstairs. Patricia spied on Victor as he let the other members of the society in. Patricia immediately recognized Joy's father. While Victor and the society members headed down to the cellar. Patricia snuck upstairs to Victor's office.

A few minutes later in the cellar. All the members were dressed in cloaks and were finishing up the preparations for the ceremony.

"Time to become a full member of this society," Jason, said Victor

"You already know about the elixir of life," said Mrs. Andrews

"Brewed by Victor's father. To slow down the aging process, Yes, I know," said Mr. Winkler.

"I'm living proof. How old do you think I am, Jason?" Asked Victor.

Mr. Winkler shrugged because he didn't know the answer.

"I am 95," said Victor

"You look amazing for 95, said Mr. Winkler.

"It is a potent beverage, yes. But unfortunately, This is all we have left," said Victor, as he showed Mr. Winkler the bottle holding the elixir.

"Sadly, Victor's father had an accident. Before he could pass on the secret," said Mrs. Andrews

"Victor's tried many times over the years. To replicate his father's recipe, But he has, alas, been unable to do so," said Mr. Sweet

"None of that will matter soon. Once we unite the ankh with the chosen one, We shall no longer need elixir. And all become truly immortal," said Victor

"Legend has it that when the elixir of life is drunk from the Ankh, the person drinking from the cup attains immortality," said Mr. Mercer.

"And one day very soon, we shall achieve this," said Victor.

Victor put the dog mask on Mr. Winkler and he and the other members started chanting. The club witnessed all it.

In the meantime Patricia managed to sneak in to Victor's office. Patricia looked for the password for Victor's laptop and found it near Corbierre. Patricia called Joy with the video chat. A few seconds later Joy answered.

"Hello? Patricia, is that you?" Asked Joy.

"Joy, I don't have much time, but I have to ask you something," said Patricia.

"Why are you calling me so late? And why is Victor letting you?" Asked Joy.

"What do you know about the chosen one?" Asked Patricia.

Joy didn't answer Patricia question and looked away from the camera.

"Joy? You do know something, don't you? I defended you," said Patricia.

"It's my dad. He's been conned into this weird organization. By Victor and the teachers. They told my dad, because I was born at 7:00. On the seventh day of the seventh month. That I'm the chosen one," said Joy

"That's what we've heard," said Patricia.

"What does that mean?" Asked Joy.

"I was hoping you would know," said Patricia.

"I don't want to be the chosen one. I want to watch tv and hang out with you. And take physics tests. I want to be normal," said Joy

"It's okay. We'll figure it out. But we must keep in touch. Can you get hold of a new phone, do you think?" Asked Patricia.

"I don't know," said Joy.

"You have to try. Text me your new number, yeah?" Asked Patricia

"Okay, I'll try," said Joy.

Patricia ended the call and closed the laptop.

In the meantime. Jerome woke up and saw that Alfie's bed was empty. Jerome found it suspicious. Jerome got up and left his room. Jerome had checked the boys bathroom and the girls bathroom but no Alfie. Jerome carefully sneaked into the room of Nina and Amber and saw that it was empty. Suddenly Jerome heard footsteps, Jerome hid in the girls bathroom and left the door a bit open. Jerome saw Patricia sneaking back into her room. Jerome sneaked back downstairs to his own room.

Meanwhile back in the cellar. Victor and the members were still busy with the ceremony. Suddenly Victor walked over to the box and grabbed a snake off it. Victor got some venom out of the snake and put it in the skull. Victor lifted the skull and began drinking from it

"Yuck!" Yelled Amber.

Victor stopped drinking. The club quickly hid behind the wall and were hoping that Victor or any other of the members wouldn't find them. Victor walked in the direction of the club. Was it game over for the Sibuna club?
