~Chapter 26~

-Elliott-

It was the first night at Anubis and there was already drama. I was happy to finally get into my new bed and fall asleep. But it only felt like three seconds before I was being shaken awake. I slowly half-woke up, rubbed my eyes, adjusted them to the dim light of the lamp before I noticed Arabella was bending over me, her long dark hair lightly brushing my face.

"Wake up." She whispered

"What the?" I question

"I know, strange. But, Mia's dragging me to the cellar. Probably because a stupid idea. And when Mia has a stupid idea, she follows through and I go after. So we another person who won't go after us, to either go get help, are tell them where our bodies are..." She explains

"Okay." I say, even though what I should I said was something along the lines of 'you really shouldn't trust me to do that, because I kinda actually like you, and I'll probably go after you to protect you, after you go after Mia' but I settled for Okay

"Oh, and it's midnight." She tells me

"Okay, I'll meet you out there. Let me get a sweatshirt." I tell her, she nods and leaves

I tip-toe out to the main hall

"Ready doofus?" I am greeted by Mia's smirk

"Do you want back-up or not?" I ask

"Mia, be nice." Arabella commands like a dog owner

Mia huffs and shows us down stairs and stops in front of an old bookshelf

"Number one, this place is seriously creepy." Arabella shutters "Number two, nice bookshelf, Mia?" She half questions, moving her head to one side

I stifle a laugh

"Oh, shut it." Mia rolls her eyes, she reaches up and enters some kind of code, it swings open "welcome to Dust Kingdom"

"Woah." Arabella whispers

"Oh, My..." I look around in awe

"Let me set this out in standard teenage girl for you..." Mia says "ERMIGURSH!"

"What are these?" Arabella picks up some kind of amulet from the desk

"I don't know, put them on, there some kind of protection, Fab-" Mia cuts off

"My dad was down here?" Arabella asks

"And Nina and Amber." Mia rushes "your dad, your mum, and your god-mother are all in some kind of secret club."

"Wait your mum went here? She has here last week? I thought you said your dad was a single dad." I'm officially confused

"It's a long story." Arabella looks at me, then back at Mia "what secret club?"

"Like Illuminate?" I ask

"No! Of course not!" Mia rolls here eyes and hands us the amulets "put them on." We obey her commands

"Wait. The book, the book with Toth. Knowledge God. Maybe the book could tell us about the alumni program thingy... " Arabella pulls on the book and the bookshelf swings around, with her on it

"I'll go get help now..." I nod and run up stairs, I think, who could help me... Zander. He was the most physically fit person in this house. I go inside my room and shake Zander awake

He opens his eyes "what on earth, dude?"

"Arabella. She's in trouble." I say

"Awwh, your girlfriends in trouble." He laughs

"No, I'm serious. Her parents and god-mother and a while bunch of other alumni were involved in this crazy group thingy while they were here. And know she's stuck inside the cellar walls." I say trying to get out the bullet points

"Shit, dude, let's go!" Zander gets up

"You might want to put on a shirt..." I point out

"Oh, right." He grabs a T-shirt from his bed side table and follows me to the hall, where were are greeted by Connor

"Another person, let's go." I run down the cellar steps and Zander explained the things I just said to him to Connor

I come to the bookshelf and enter the same code Mia had and it swung open.

"Dafuq?" Connor looks at Zander, who just shrugs

"She's still in there..." Mia sighs

"Where?" Zander asks

Mia points to the wall "it's a turning bookshelf."

"More f'd up dust-collector shelves?" Connor backs up "Hell no, I'm out of here."

"There's no "I" in "Team"." I remind him

"Well, there's an "M" and a "E"." He reminds me

Mia walks toward him and pushes him "There should be a "F" and a "U", you bastard!" Mia tells him

Then we hear a creaking sound and Zander is standing by Ara.

"How?" I ask

Zander gestures to the shelf "there's a button."

"Of course." I sigh "Let's just leave..."

"Good plan!" Arabella runs out of the room and upstairs.
