Riley and Tara made it to the surface, both of them were coughing violently as they tried to find their breath. Ben held out his hand after he saw Riley was holding onto something, Riley handed Ben the pendant that he and Tara had found. Ben gestured for Abigail to come examine the pendant with him, Tara and Riley began to change back into their clothes.
"We found it in a cavern, it seems as though that pendant belongs to Mordred. We believe that Morgause was able to care for him in a certain underwater area until he was able to care for himself." Tara explained.
"So now there is only one thing left to do, find out more about Mommy dearest." Ben stated as he placed the pendant in his coat pocket.
"Meaning our first location would be Edinburgh Castle, and since we are on the shores of Cumbria it should only take four to five hours." Tara declared.
"Unless we speed through the ocean and it should take only a couple of hours then." Ben suggested.
"Only problem, there is no boat." Riley added.
Ben turned Riley around to face a huge speedboat, his jaw was agape. Tara was just as surprised, they began heading towards the boat. Riley and Ben got in first, Tara began climbing over when Riley grabbed her by the arm to keep her balance. She flashed around to face Riley, she shrugged him off after finally getting into the boat. The trip lasted about three and a half hours, they arrived at the grounds of Edinburgh Castle. It seemed to be closed, Tara pointed out a huge sign at the door "CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE"
"Well, we won't be getting through the main doors." Tara stated.
"Riley, check for security." Ben ordered.
"Right-o." Riley said in a mocking British accent.
Riley went through his knapsack and took out his laptop, he began hacking into the main security field inside the castle walls. He finally got all eight cameras up on his screen, he pointed out where the lasers were.
"A couple at the foyer, a bit at the back. Other areas are basically trapped doors." Riley briefly explained.
"What about the upper floor?" Ben asked.
"Nothing...I guess they assumed nothing would get pass the main security." Riley shrugged his shoulders.
"So all we have to do is scale the walls and climb up to that window." Ben stated.
"Two things. We are not Spider-Man, and the windows are locked from the inside." Riley remarked.
Ben picked up a rock and aimed it at the window, he threw and shattered the glass window. Abigail, Tara and Riley all plugged their ears in fear that an alarm would be raised. Nothing...Only silence.
"So, who wants to risk jumping off a 10 foot wall?" Riley asked.
They all looked at Riley and smiled innocently, he rolled his eyes as Ben boosted him over the wall.
"Tara!" Riley whispered.
Ben boosted Tara over the wall, she jumped into Riley's arms. She straightened her throat, he quickly set her down.
"Abby, come on over." Riley whispered.
Ben boosted Abigail over the wall, Riley extended his hand. Abigail took it and slid off the wall. Ben ran off, he stopped at least 20 yards away from the wall and then ran at it at full speed. He sprinted over the wall, much to everyone's amazement.
"I've ALWAYS wanted to do that." Ben smiled.
"Okay, good you did it. Now, how are we going to get through the window?" Riley asked.
"Perhaps if we pile ontop of each other, Riley can go inside since he is-"
Tara was cut off when Riley suddenly let out a small yell of pain, they all turned to him as Riley clutched his leg. They all saw a huge black snake slither away, Riley fell back onto a stump.
"You okay?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, my leg just stings that's all." Riley nodded.
"Can you walk?" Tara asked.
"Yeah."
Ben helped Riley stand up, Riley limped over to his knapsack and took out a rope.
"I brought it along just in case." Riley stated.
"Riley, I don't think you should climb with that leg of yours." Abigail said nervously.
"It's a damn bite, not the end of the world." Riley assured.
Riley limped over to the window and tossed the rope, it landed over the latch. He began to carefully climb, when he was halfway up he suddenly felt lightheaded and weak. He released the rope and plummeted towards the ground, out cold.
