I think from now on I'm going to post one part every Monday night. Unless I don't have one. In which case I will post 2 parts the next Monday. I was just thinking of doing one specific date so you guys have something to look forward to and because its right after the weekend is done(😞)and I normally wrote a lot over the weekend. I'm just going to try this. If it doesn't work out I'm just going to go back to posting whenever I'm done. Now for the part that took me forever because the awkward moments in here put ME in an awkward position so it took me a while to figure out what to say so you better enjoy it!
House of Ghosts
Alfie-is there anyone else who wants to say something to Amber?
(The hand goes up)
Alfie-yes.
(The person stands up and everyone gasps)
Alfie-AMBER?!
Amber-I have no words for you
Alfie-yes Amber I am so so sorry about that...
Fabian-Amber, why are you here? HOW are you here?
Amber-I'm a ghost silly. I'm allowed to come down you know. If you want I can come with you
Alfie-yes I would love that. Everyone would
Amber-I told you I have no words for you grate thrower
Alfie-we were distracting.
Amber-you were only distracting us. And by the way, Fabian, I don't have a mouth the size of a black hole
Fabian-yeah. Sorry about that.
Nina-wait, Amber, you were there?
Amber-yes. the entire time. I CAN make myself invisible you know. It doesn't exactly make me a beauty queen, but it's good for eavesdropping
Fabian-that might actually come in handy. Amber are you willing to stay with us?
Amber-of course. Why would I leave?
Fabian-I don't know. Just checking.
Amber-and Patricia I betrayed you for a good reason! I mean imagine what would had happened if Rufus got Nina's locket?
Fabian-it's true Patricia, at the time he was the awaken osirian. He could have used it.
Eddie-wait. When was he "put to sleep" I guess you could say
Fabian-when the gem started reacting to you and when you started hearing voices 2 years ago.
Nina-so when did Sarah lose her powers?
Fabian-when she gave you her locket
Amber-anyway, so you see Patricia I had a good reason to betray you
Patricia-I realize that now, but at the time it hurt
Amber-how do you think I felt? I had a pitcher of cold water on my head!
Patricia-I'm aware.
Nina-so what do we do now?
Fabian-I say we close the coffin, and head back to the summer house. They'd expect us to be here. Not the summer house.
Eddie-fair enough. Mick, can you close the coffin?
Mick-ok(he pushes the lid close)so we going to the summer house?
Nina-(a little annoyed)where else could we go?
Mick-I don't know.
Eddie-come on guys. We should go now. Frobisher'll be here soon enough.
Nina-(obviously still a little annoyed with Mick)great idea Eddie. Lets go.
(Fabian leads everyone out of the crypt and toward the summer house. When they get to the edge of the woods near the summer house Fabian stops and pears around a tree. He sees Denby and Johanna)
Fabian-(still looking at Denby and Johanna)Denby and Johanna are there.
Eddie-wait. Just Denby and Johanna? What about Roger?
Fabian-what about him?
Eddie-spending some time in a room with him you learn some things. He always sends Johanna and Roger before Denby. That's why I'm worried.
Fabian-concerned that he's gonna sneak up behind us?
Eddie-yeah.
Fabian-Nina come up here please.
Nina-coming(she walks up next to him)yes?
Fabian-I needed to keep you away from the back of the group. Just in case.
Nina-Ok.
With Roger and Robert...
(They're wandering through the woods)
Roger-(whispering)they're up there.
Robert-(whispering) the two girls in the back?
Roger-(whispering)ok.
(They sneak up behind the group. Robert counts off on his fingers. On three Roger grabs Poppy and covers her mouth and Robert grabs Lucy and covers her mouth. They drag them back into the woods and nobody notices)
Back with the others...
Eddie-are they still there?
Fabian-yeah they look like they're finishing up
Eddie-dude they're coming this way!
Fabina-(whisper yelling)quick everybody hide
(Everyone scatters off in different directions, and Amber vaporizes. Denby and Johanna go walk right where they were just standing)
Johanna-where else could we look?
Denby-well we checked Anubis, we checked the school, we would have found them if they were in the gatehouse, they're obviously not in the summer house, anywhere else?
Johanna-we can check the crypt and the pyramid base
Denby-why would they be at the pyramid base?
Johanna-I don't know. It's just a suggestion.
Denby-so the crypt it is(she walks away and Johanna follows. After they're out of sight everyone comes out of hiding)
Susan-hey where's Lucy?
Clyde-and Poppy?
Susan-LUCY!? LUCY!?
Jerome-POPPY!?
Peter, Edmond-LUCY!?
Clyde-POPPY!?
Eddie-they would have come out by now they're not here.
Peter-well do you think they went straight to the summer house?
Eddie-it's worth a shot come on.
(They all go running toward the summer house)
At the gatehouse...
(Robert and Roger are dragging Lucy and Poppy up the stairs into the tank room. When they get there they dump them both down on the floor. They both push themselves against the wall)
Lucy-what do you want from us?
Robert-nothing at all. Just sit tight. I'll be back soon
(He turns to leave and Roger follows. They lock the door on the way out)
Lucy-Poppy right?
Poppy-yeah. Lucy?
Lucy-yeah.
Poppy-well this is awkward.
Lucy-oh yeah(awkward pause)soooooo. Being kidnapped.
Poppy-nothing new
Lucy-nothing new?!
Poppy-now that I've joined my dufus brother and his awesome friends it's kinda a normal occurrence.
Lucy-so you guys get kidnapped on a regular basis?!
Poppy-well, not exactly. Sometimes they only hold us hostage for a few minutes. Sometimes a few weeks. Nina was held captive for like 3 weeks before we got her back for good. The rest of us it's like a few days here, a couple hours there. You get used to it.
Lucy-should a queen be treated like this?!
Poppy-if we were queens we'd be out of here by now.
Lucy-(under her breath)yeah if we were in narnia we would be
Poppy-what's narnia?
Lucy-it's kinda a long story.
Poppy-well you can tell me. Obviously we've got some time.
Lucy-ok.(she starts explains everything that happens from the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe to the voyage of the dawn treader)
With Peter and Susan...
Susan-that's it. They're not here.
Peter-(hugging her)it's ok Susan. They'll turn up
Susan-I know.
Peter-and if it makes you feel any better we're with the best teenagers ever. They'll find Lucy. Trust me.
Susan-I know.
Eddie-guys. We gotta go. We're checking the gatehouse.
Peter-ok we'll be there in a minute.
Eddie-ok(he walks away)
Susan-do you think they got her?
Peter-I don't know but if they did, they will lose their heads.
Susan-agreed.
Peter-come on. We don't want to get lost too.
Susan-ok
(They both run off in the direction everyone else ran)
At the gatehouse...
Eddie-ok guys, Jerome, Susan, Peter, Fabian, Patricia, and I will take the secret entrance, Mick, Clyde, Alfie, Amber, Nina, and Edmond you guys go through the chimney.
Amber-don't go throwing any grates!
Mick-there is no grate to throw!
Amber-oh yeah...
Eddie-Just in case one of us is caught. Meet in the room where Harriet was kept in, then we'll go from there, and if you're spotted. ?
Everyone-sibuna.
Eddie-ok. Let's go guys
(Eddie and his group sneak around the side while Nina and her group start to climb the vines, Amber just floats up)
With Nina and her group...
Nina-wow. This place does NOT look memorable
Alfie-oh trust me it's not. This chimney, also not memorable.
Nina-why?
Alfie-that's where I was before I got captured, also I had to jump, and climb on the scary ledges. Not fun.
Nina-then why'd you come back?
Amber-because Eddie said so. He does everything Eddie tells him too.
Alfie-yes because he was and/or is our leader.
Nina-he is. He's so much better then I was. He took action. I tried to lay low.
Alfie-hey, we accomplished what we had to. With both of you as leader
Mick-ok. I'd prefer if we didn't get into the whole "you were both good, no he was better, no you were both good" thing. I'd rather make it up onto this roof WITHOUT starting an argument.
Alfie-right
(They continue to climb the vines, until they make it to the top*obviously*)
Nina-Amber, turn yourself invisible, go inside, and find out where they are.
Amber-ok.(she flys into the chimney then turns invisible)
Alfie-I hope she can pull this off.
Nina-don't worry Alfie, she will.
Alfie-I know.
With Amber...
(She flies into the study. She looks around. It's entirely empty. She then flys through the door toward the tank room. She sees Eddie and the others coming out of the passageway. She flies up into the tank room. The only people in there are Lucy and Poppy. She flies out of the tank room, and into the study. She sees Frobisher, Roger, Denby, and Johanna right there walking back into the study. Amber quickly flies back into the tank room stairwell, but Eddie and the others are almost at the top. She turns visible again)
Amber-guys!
Eddie-oh my god Amber don't do that!
Amber-you guys gotta get out of here Frobisher...(they here the tank room door open)
Jerome-were screwed.
(Amber turns invisible and everyone just stands there. Scared out of their minds)
End of part 49...
