Rain lashed against the windows of the lecture hall, as Josh, Danny, and Jay sat listening to some guy off the telly called doctor Brian Cox taking about astronomy,
But Josh's thoughts were elsewhere.
He turned to the empty seat where Luke normally sat, which only served as a reminder of the events that seemed to have only happened the night before, but had in fact been a week ago.
Neither Josh, Danny, nor Jay had seen or spoken to Luke, since his confrontation with Sanjay, as Luke had spent the week shut in his room.
The lecture soon came to an end and as they left the lecture hall one of their teachers caught up with them.
"I see Luke still isn't back," the teacher said.
"No he still hasn't come out of his room" Jay answered.
"Can't be easy having a friend go missing, and those too seem really close" The teacher replied.
There had been no sign of Sanjay all week either, and the 3 teenagers had decided it was best if everyone thought Sanjay had just disappeared like the other students.
"This is getting stupid," Josh said as they walked to another lecture.
"I know Luke has too come out his room sometime" Jay replied.
"Sarah Jane even rang me this morning, Luke hasn't been in contact with her either, and it appears he's told K9 to stay offline," Danny continued.
"What did you tell her?" Josh asked.
"Just that Luke and Sanjay had had an argument, I couldn't exactly tell her the truth" Danny answered.
"Yeah she would have been down here before you could say K9" Josh added.
Luke lay on his bed face down wearing only a pair of shorts and a crumpled T-shirt; he'd had trouble sleeping as every night he was tortured by nightmares.
"Who'd want to be friends with the super freak Luke smith" Sanjay's words stung in Luke's mind.
But this wasn't the only thing Luke was having nightmare's about, he was also seeing other events; events that he could no longer tell were real or just another bad dream.
But one nightmare seemed to play though his head more than the others; Luke was underground walking stone passageway passing a line of flaming touches.
He soon came to a large room with what looked like a sarcophagus in the centre of the room, which had the figure of a man with the head of a jackal caved into the lid.
As Luke moved closer he saw the sarcophagus was surrounded by 12 hooded figures, chanting words over and over Luke couldn't understand.
Luke then stopped dead as a sudden shudder of fear ran though Luke's body; there was something wrong here something evil.
Normally Luke would turn and run back up the passageway, but this time was different this time he heard a voice behind him.
"Don't be afraid," it whispered behind him.
Luke turned to see Sanjay stood behind him.
"Sanjay…wh…what?" Luke stuttered.
"Hey it's ok Luke, it's me" Sanjay said sounding more like the Sanjay Luke knew.
"But those things you said" Luke continued.
Sanjay hung his head.
"I'm sorry he hurt you" he replied.
"I don't understand" Luke added.
"Watch and you will" Sanjay answered as a white light filled the room.
Luke was back in the stone passageway the touches burning bright, but the passageway was now filled with cobwebs and the touch brackets no longer gleamed they were now dull and rusty.
Luke slowly walked down the passageway until he heard voices.
"Are you sure about this?" A voice Luke recognised asked.
"You worry too much Marcus" Another voice snapped that Luke recognised as the voice of the commander of the UNIT Black Ops Anna Tellos.
Luke crept around the Conner and saw Anna stood with a man in a long coat, watching a group of soldiers setting changers against a large stone door.
"Chargers set Colonel," One of the soldiers announced.
"Good, Everyone stand clear" Anna ordered.
Everyone quickly moved away and Anna gave the order to detonate, the room was filled with a cloud of dust, which once cleared reviled a large hole in the door.
"Let's see what's inside shall we Marcus" Anna said to the man in the long coat as she headed though the hole.
The man then turned to the soldiers and Luke saw that it was Mark Hawkins.
"Don't touch anything," He told the soldiers.
Mark and the solders the followed Anna through the hole as did Luke, he was now back in the room with the sarcophagus, but this too was now covered in cobwebs.
Once again a shudder of fear ran through Luke's body, and he wasn't the only one.
"There's something wrong here can't you feel it" Mark told Anna.
"You're letting your imagination run away with you" Anna replied coldly.
Anna then walked up to the sarcophagus.
"At last the final resting place of Anubus" Anna said as she reached out to touch it.
"I wouldn't do that if I was you" Mark warned.
"And why not" She demanded as she turned to him.
"Because there's something wrong with this place" Mark answered.
"Don't tell me you getting superstitious, this isn't just any tomb, it the tomb of an Ossian once one of the most advanced civilisation to ever exist, think of the secrets we'll discoverer the advance technology that's hidden here" Anna added.
"We don't know what were dealing with, this isn't just a tomb" Mark told her.
Just then they heard a noise and both turned towards it.
"Whose there, show your self" Anna yelled as she pulled a gun.
A small boy then came out of the darkness.
"Sanjay?" Mark said.
"What are you doing here?" Anna demanded.
Sanjay's lowered his head and looked at the floor.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to see what was down here" Sanjay sounding scared.
"Well you should have stayed at the house like you were told to" Anna told him sounding annoyed.
Sanjay looked up.
"But you always tell me that, I'm sick of having to stay behind" Sanjay continued.
"Go back to the house Sanjay before I get really mad" Anna snapped as she walked towards him.
Sanjay now looked angry.
"Why do you always treat me like a kid, I'm not a kid I'm twelve" Sanjay shot back.
Anna and everyone else began to laugh apart from mark.
"In that case why don't you come here and open this sarcophagus, show us all how brave you really are" Anna added.
"I think we should leave it alone, I can feel it too something's wrong here something evil" Sanjay told her.
"You think I'm stupid enough to believe in cursers" Anna spat as she walked towards then sarcophagus.
"No don't" Sanjay yelled.
But it was too late Anna had already grabbed the lip of the sarcophagus, and tried to push it open, suddenly the whole room began to shake.
"There really is a curse" One of the soldiers yelled as he ran out of the room followed by several others.
"Come back you cowards" Anna shouted after them.
"Look" Sanjay yelled.
Anna looked up and could see two stone gargoyles were coming to life above them.
"What the hell are they" Anna demanded.
"I'm guessing they're the tomb guards," Mark answered.
The gargoyles transformed into black wing creatures, and they both filled the air with a terrifying scream.
"We need to get out of here," Mark told her.
But before they could move the creatures swooped down towards them.
"Get down" mark yelled as he grabbed Anna and pulled her to the ground.
The remaining soldiers began to fire in all directions; Sanjay was now huddled in the corner holding his hands over his ears screaming.
"I need to get to Sanjay" Mark told Anna.
But the creatures were too fast and as he tried to get over to his adopted son one of the creatures knocked mark to the ground.
"No" Sanjay yelled.
Sanjay then watched in horror as one by one the remaining soldiers fell, until one of the creatures flew towards him.
"Run Sanjay" Mark shouted.
But it was too late the creature grabbed the boy and slammed him into a wall, the creature then threw back his head and bit into Sanjay's shoulder
Sanjay screamed in pain, but the creature's head exploded.
"Get the hell away from my boy" mark spat as he kicked the remains of the creature away from Sanjay.
The twelve year old then slumped against the wall, as blood ran down his arm.
"Sanjay" Mark said as he went over to him.
"Behind you" Sanjay yelled.
Mark turned to see the other creature changing at him; mark was once again knocked to the ground, sending his guns skidding across the floor.
"It's coming back around" Sanjay shouted.
Mark looked up and saw the creature coming in for the kill, Suddenly a laser blast stuck the creature cutting it in half, mark turned to see Anna holding one of his guns.
"Thanks" Mark told her.
"Call it even" Anna said with a small smile.
She then helped him up and the both ran over to Sanjay.
"This looks pretty bad" Anna asked him.
"I'm ok, it's not as bad as it looks" Sanjay told her as he fought back the tears.
His shoulder hurt like hell but he was determined not to cry in front of Anna.
Just then the room once again filled with light, and Luke found himself sitting with Sanjay on a bench outside there dorm building.
"It's been 8 years since that thing bit me" Sanjay said.
"But you didn't back change then did you" Luke answered.
"No anything was fine, at first, The wound headed after a couple of weeks and that seemed to be the end of it, but then I stated having nightmare's about something crawling out of the darkness coming to get me" Sanjay replied.
Sanjay then turned to Luke.
"There's been an evil growing inside of me since that day, and now it's finally taken over, when I came back to uni I started having black outs, then nightmares of me killing people" Sanjay continued.
Sanjay hung his head Luke could see he was really upset,
"Only it was really happening," Sanjay added.
"So when that thing bit you it infected you," Luke replied.
"That thing was killed while it was feeding, so when it's body was destroyed part of it's consciousness jumped into my body and it's been growing, waiting until it was strong enough to take over my body" Sanjay explained.
"So it's just controlling you," Luke asked.
"For now but in time he will take my body over completely" Sanjay answered.
"Don't worry we'll find a way to save you" Luke told him.
Sanjay smiled sadly.
"There isn't time he's planning to bring Anubus back from the dead, you have to stop him but you'll have to destroy him, your going to have to kill me Luke" Sanjay Said.
"I can't, we'll find another way" Luke said tears forming in his eye's.
"There isn't time if Anubus risers" Sanjay replied.
"I can't do it Sanjay, I just can't" Luke pleaded as tears began to fall.
"It's the only way, you've been a good friend Luke, the best I've ever had, Goodbye" Sanjay added as Luke felt himself slowly floating away.
"Sanjay No" Luke shouted.
But Sanjay disappeared in a blinding white light.
"Sanjay" Luke yelled as he woke up with a start tears running down his face.
