~Chapter 35~
-Mia-
I was tutoring Zander when I heard Ara scream, I ran, Zander following me. She was just talking about games and plans and was just rambling
"Ah, Trudy!" Arabella points to the roof as if she has a cartoon light bulb above her head and rushes out, I follow. Arabella knocks on Trudy's office door, Poppys inside "Poppy?" She asks
"Yes, Ara?" Poppy pauses her dusting
"Do you have any papers of Joys, in here?" Arabella question
"An! Yes, Joy called and told me if you asked to give these to you." Poppy goes to the key cabinet and gets out a very small, but antique and beautiful key. She pulls out a leather folder. Bound and clasp. "Here. I don't know what they are."
"Thanks Poppy!" Ara exclaims rushing out and bumping into Elliott and Connor on the stairwell platform "I need you two too!" She explains and ushers us all into the bedroom
"What is this about?" Elliott asks
"Remember a few nights ago, the cellar." Arabella explains
"Let's not remember that freak show please..." Connor rolls his eyes
"It wasn't a freak show. This house, it has powers, it almost magic-" Arabella looks at us
"So, what, it's Hogwarts?" Connor asks sarcastically
"I have an idea!" My face lights up and I turn to face him "How about you shut up already!"
"How about you two lovebirds be quite, already!" Zander mocks
"Okay, this old lady's parents built this place, and gave her a locket. A locket that controlled the house, a locket she could only use. They called her the Chosen One. Then after a whole bunch of confusion my mother turned out to be the next Chosen One. She had the help of like a team. Called Sibuna. And now I'm the next, apperently I have a quest and I need a team. Are you in? It might not be easy, and it might be dangerous-" Arabella looks like she's shaking
"Are you kidding me? Actually something more than learning?!" Connor asks "I'm in!"
"You need me. I know you. I can help. I'll do it." I agree
"Might as well." Elliott shrugs
"And there's no way I'm gonna be left out!" Zander nods
"So, is this like girl-scouts? Do we have a hand shake or something?" I ask, out of curiosity
"There's only one I know of." Arabella says and puts her hand over her left eye "Sibuna."
"Sibuna." We say at the same time and copy her hand-over-eye thing.
Don't get me wrong, I was scared as hell, but this was something I had to do. Arabella pulled something out of her pocket. It was an object, rapped in silk.
"Joy gave it to me. It's our first clue. Here." She gives it to Elliott
He takes it, and with shaky hands, unwraps it "It's a letter." He unfolds the letter itself and begins to read
"Between the lines,
There you shall seek.
You answer is hidden
For all to see
If it is only uncovered from its secrecy.
Almost like a pen of destiny."
"That's a line of bullshit." Connor sighs, bored
Arabella recites the words quietly to herself, thinking
"Wait!" I realize "Remember those light up pens where you wrote but only could see the words with a special light in the pen? Like a black light?"
"Are you saying a grown man used a child's toy to hind his answer to a clue between the clue?" Zander asks
"Yeah. That's exactly what I'm saying." I nod "Between the lines. For all to see. If it is only uncovered from its secrecy. Almost like a pen of destiny."
"Makes sense." Elliott nods
"Then let's go find a black light!" Arabella jumps up
"Your forgetting something. This is old. Black lights weren't even around back then... and unless there is some serious shit going on..." Connor concludes
"And your forgetting, not only have we found a secret passage way, but today Ive seen a ghost, a ghost who I and my completly sane Godmother had a conversation with. Were living in Anubis, buddy, things aren't going to make sense, get used to it." Arabella pats his back, and she's got a point, things won't be normal anymore.
A/N hey guys! So how was that chapter? Are they on to something? Is this the new sibuna? Are they correct? Will the old sibuna come back? Tell me your thoughts:) ✌️.
