Series 2, Episode 34 ~ House of Webs

Nina squared her shoulders trying to ignore the noises around her as she saw something ahead as she moved closer to it, she couldn't stop the scream that left her mouth. In front of her was a human skull. The one thing she had said she was scared of.

All of a sudden Camilla's voice came from the walkie talkie, "Nina! I don't know if you can hear me but if you can you need to relax, take a breath and focus. You are so close; I can feel it. Come on Nim, you can do this!"

Nina nodded her head at the girl's words, she was close she had to be. Nina took a deep calming breath and looked past the skull and saw a lever. That had to be the lever for the fake door.

It was a stretch and once her hand wrapped around the lever it was even harder to pull down. Years of being left alone had formed a nice layer of grime and rust on it. But with one tug and a very loud unattractive grunt, she managed to pull it down. She heard the mechanism sound they always heard as a door opened for them in the tunnel and the celebratory shouts from down the tunnel told her she had succeeded.

"I told you, you could do it Nim, now all you have to do is crawl back!" Camilla told the girl through the walkie talkie.

"it was a door! Nina did it!" Amber shouted as the dead-end they had come across swung away to reveal the next set of tunnels.

Camilla got to her feet and handed Fabian the walkie-talkie so he could keep talking to Nina. The boy had a panic when Nina stopped responding which was the worst thing for him to do, so Camilla had taken the walkie-talkie from him.

"Nina? Can you hear me?" he asked into it.

"I can hear you, I'm almost back you'll see me soon," Nina's voice came back, causing the two boys to crouch by the entrance in case Nina needed a handout.

Nina was out the tunnel before long and Fabian was the first to pull her into a hug, "How was it?"

"honestly, like being down a long dark tunnel filled with bugs and a skull!" Nina replied quickly.

"Sounds about right," Alfie mumbled.

"Yeah..." Amber agreed.

"And there were voices," Nina said her voice cracking a little.

"Voices?" Camilla asked softly in confusion, Nina nodded her head and the girl looked around at the other Sibuna's, "well that's new."

"Yeah, weird ones. It was all in my head but still..." Nina trailed off.

Fabian gave the girl a bright smile, "we'll your safe now, and you did it!" he gestured to the now open space where the door once was.

Nina let out a sigh of relief as she took in the tunnel system. They were one step closer to the Mask and their freedom. "Yes! Okay, let's see what Frobisher-Smythe has in store for us next,"

"For Nina," Amber said putting her hand to her eye.

"For the mask," Fabian added.

"For us all," Camilla said softly putting her hand to her eye.

"For Sibuna," Alfie and Nina chimed in copying their peers.

Camilla was surprised the tunnel system hadn't been found before now. Yes, Robert had lived a while ago but as they descended the stairs to a lower level of the tunnels she couldn't help but think there must have been some kind of building paperwork for all this. He couldn't have done it all himself.

The 5 Sibuna's all looked in awe as they reached the opening in the tunnel. It was a large room, covered in 3 different coloured strings (red, white and yellow) going in every which way direction. Across the room was a large spiders web drawn onto what was clearly the next door.

"No way..." Fabian said in awe looking at the room.

"This just keeps getting weirder," Nina mumbled

"I'm detecting a definite theme in here..." Amber was quick to add, "but why Spiders?"

"it will be a nod to the spider headed Goddess Neith, the spinner and weaver of destiny," Camilla spoke as she took in the room, Fabian nodding in agreement to Camilla's words.

"She was also the goddess of war and hunting so best keep that in mind too," Fabian told the Sibuna's as he looked around the room.

"A weaving destiny war hunting spider goddess, cos that all goes together well..." Alfie added jokingly.

"My bunny slippers are running for cover as we speak," Camilla added causing Amber to let out a giggle behind the two.

Nina gasped and pointed across the room, "look at the spider over there, it looks like an indentation."

"Maybe something goes in there?" Camilla offered.

"I'm really hoping not a giant spider." Amber seriously said.

"That's where we have to go too," Nina said pointing towards the web mural across the room.

"Let's go then!" Alfie confidently said grabbing a string to duck under it before flinching and recoiling his hand back in pain. On his palm, there was a red mark where he had touched the web, "Ahh that really hurt."

"It looks like a bee sting," Amber said as she looked at the mark, gently holding Alfie's hand in her own.

"Or a spider bite," Nina ominously spoke.

Fabian stepped forward and carefully looked at the strings closest to them, "I think there is some kind of venom on all the threads." His eyes widened as he looked to the different corners of the room, "Do you see the hooks; I wonder what they are for?"

"Maybe hooking something?" Alfie suggested.

"I wasn't asking what it was. I was asking why?" Fabian answered.

"Oh. Of course. That makes sense. For a second, I thought we were all smarter than you," Alfie replied before glancing around the room.

"Let's just call it a night guys," Nina spoke up, they clearly needed more information to complete this trap. "We'll come back tomorrow."

The Sibuna's nodded and Nina led the way back out the tunnels.

"Tomorrow, okay..." Amber spoke as she turned to see Camilla lurking back to walk with her, "I have this weird feeling I'm going to be ill around about tomorrow." She told Camilla causing the girl to give her an amused smile. Amber rushing forward to grab her extended hand so they could walk out together.

Camilla was minding her own business at her locker as Alfie came running up to her a large grin on his face, it fell the moment he glanced at the thick book she had in her arms. "God, Nina and Fabian have you speaking nerd now too..."

Camilla glanced down at the book before putting into her bag, "it's just a bit of light reading for Magic class."

"in another language?"

"What you don't speak Ancient Egyptian or Arabic? I thought everyone did." Camilla sarcastically replied to the boy before glancing at him, "What's up Alfie?"

Alfie leaned against the locker and smiled at her in a way that immediately caused Camilla to be suspicious of him, "you look really pretty today Cam,"

"Am I not pretty always?" Camilla asked causing Alfie to splutter before she let out a laugh, "what do you want?"

"Can you help me find a goose, so we can let it loose in the hallways so Jerome can sneak into Sweetie's office to find a stolen gem from a suit of armour," Alfie said quickly.

It took Camilla a full minute to process what Alfie had said, "we're going to let a goose loose in the school?" she asked.

"we're going to let a goose loose in the school!" Alfie smiled at her.

"So, Jerome can find a gem in a suit of armour in Sweeties office?"

"Yep."

Camilla couldn't help but smile, this was going to be a bit of iconic Amun Academy history and she had to be apart of it. "Oh, I am totally in."

Camilla couldn't keep a straight face as she walked through the corridors. Her and Alfie were holding a large cage covered in a very colourful towel between them, trying to look casual and failing miserably.

Inside the cage was one very very angry goose.

They rested the cage onto the radiator by Alfie's locker, both of them whispering 'shhh' to the goose inside as it started to squawk.

"What am I doing with my life?" Camilla asked Alfie the moment she realised how ridiculous the situation they found themselves in was.

Alfie just sent her a grin before he looked around the corridor, he started to motion for someone behind Camilla to come over and it didn't take much guessing as to who it was.

"Thanks to the fact Camilla has some insane contacts, we managed to find you a," Alfie told Jerome as he wandered over to them looking confused.

"Alfie where have you been?!" Jerome demanded interrupting the boy, though the question was answered by another Squawk from inside the covered cage. Jerome's eyes widening as he glanced towards the cage the two were holding onto. Alfie and Camilla looking to the cage with a fond expression before they once again 'shhhed' the creature inside. "what have you guys got in there?" Jerome demanded. "please, please don't tell me what I already know you're going to tell me."

"you said you wanted a wild goose chase," Alfie spoke excitedly.

"So, we got you a wild goose!" Camilla concluded for him causing Jerome to look her way.

"Well it's a caged one, but we will make do with what we could get," Alfie added.

"What do you know?" Jerome asked quietly to Camilla.

"Pretty much everything, I filled in the blanks myself but I think its accurate," Camilla shrugged, "Stolen Gem in armour, the goose is a distraction for you to get that." She summarised simply.

Jerome groaned before looking at the top of the cage and letting out a gasp at seeing the goose, "you guys really did get a goose… where did you get it?"

"between me and Cam, we have mad contacts." Alfie mysteriously told him sending Camilla a wink.

"Guys, wild goose chase is a figure of speech," Jerome tried to rational but he knew there was no point, the two were going to go through with their insane plan he already knew it.

"But that's what got me thinking." Alfie explained, "does it have to be?"

"when this thing gets loose it's going to be epic," Camilla spoke up.

"No, it's going to be mass panic! You are enabling him Cam; this is the same madness that got the swimming pool demolished last summer!" Jerome pointed to her.

"Bath jelly, what an epic prank!" Camilla smiled fondly.

"If the goose is loose," Alfie brought the topic back to the situation at hand, "then Mr Sweet is going to have to come running to sort it."

"And in all the confusion I doubt he would even have time to lock his office door…" Camilla added innocently. Alfie and her knowing from the grin forming on Jerome's face he was now on board with their insane plan.

"Let the wild goose chase begin!" Jerome excitedly said.

Camilla ran to Mr Sweet's door acting panicked, as Alfie 'chased' after the goose in the corridor "Mr Sweet!" she called into the office.

"Yes," the man replied.

Camilla opened the door and looked at him, "there is… a goose issue…"

"A what?" the man asked but before he could say anything the squawking of the bird could be heard and he rushed from the room to see students backed against lockers as Alfie tried to 'catch' the goose. "THAT'S A GOOSE!" He screamed pointing at it, before running after Alfie. "Careful Alfie, Camilla it will bite!"

Camilla went to follow but paused by Jerome, "Evaporate, tall person!" she told him jolting her head towards sweetie's office. He wouldn't have much time but he had to at least run in. Jerome looked away from the chaos of Alfie and Mr Sweet racing after a goose to realise what Camilla was saying before he sprinted to the office. Camilla then running after Mr Sweet and Alfie trying to help them 'guide' the goose.
