Sky was now hiding in Rani's wardrobe and the whole house had now fallen silent, but then sky heard footsteps slowly approaching.
The footsteps came nearer and sky saw a figure walk into the room, the teenager held her breath as her heart raced in her chest, but the wardrobe doors were flung open.
"Please don't hurt me," Sky almost screamed.
"Hey it's ok, I'm on your side," A voice told her.
Sky looked up a saw a man dressed in a long black coat.
"You're that man my brother was talking too," Sky said.
"Then you know I'm not here to hurt you" Leo told her as he held out his hand.
Sky took it and came out of the wardrobe.
"What happened to Rani the others" Sky asked.
"They've been taken by the followers of Anubus" Leo replied.
"We have to help them," Sky told him.
"First we have to get you out of here" Leo replied as he turned to leave.
Sky followed him and both headed outside and could see Sanjay, Clyde and his mum being loaded into a black van by Elritch's men.
"We need to do something" Sky whispered.
"I'm sorry but we can't let them get you too" Leo told her.
Sky then watched as the van drove away and it disappeared down bannerman road.
"Come on we have to go" Leo continued as he grabbed sky's arm.
Suddenly Leo had a gun put to his head.
"Not so fast" a hooded figure told him.
But Leo suddenly spun around and knocked the gun out of the figures hand, but he pulled out another so Leo grabbed the figure and pulled him to the ground.
The hooded figure managed to flick Leo off him and went for his gun on the floor, but Leo pulled back his sleeve to revile a small cross bow and fired a bolt knocking the gun out of the figure's hand.
The figure then charged at Leo and both men fell to the ground and began to fight hand to hand Leo soon sent the figure crashing into Rani's gate.
But the man then saw his gun lying on the floor and dived for it but Leo pulled out wooden stake and raised it to strike the man as he raised his gun.
"Stop it both of you" Sky yelled.
Both men turned to Sky.
"Your not enemies" Sky told them.
The hooded figure the removed his hood to revile it was Mark Harkins.
"I thought he was one of them," Mark said.
"He came to help us" Sky told mark.
"I know what you were thinking, but don't worry I don't bite" Leo added.
Mark then put his gun away as Leo did the same with his stake.
"Where's Sarah Jane and the others" Mark asked.
"Gone" Sky simply said.
Mark then turned to Leo.
"They've been taken" Leo answered.
"Anna?" Mark continued.
Leo shook his head.
"Someone far worse" Leo answered.
Meanwhile the black van with Sarah Jane and the others inside was now leaving the city, and was soon driving through the darkness of the countryside.
There journey seemed to go on forever and soon Luke's eyes began to feel heavy until the teenager could no longer stay awake.
Luke was once again walking through the dark corridors of the oxford union, and soon came to a door that he recognised at once; it was the door to the basement.
Luke slowly opened the door and headed down the stairs to the basement, he then felt a cold wind blowing through the basement and turned to a door which was wide open.
The teenager stood looking into the darkness beyond the door and began to hear lots of voices whispering in a language Luke couldn't understand.
"Who's there?" Luke said.
Suddenly the whispering voices got louder and louder until they just as suddenly fell silent, Luke then realised he could hear a girls voice singing in the distance.
"One two three four he's coming to get you all" The girls voice sang.
"Hello" Luke called.
Luke slowly headed back up the stairs and into the corridor.
"Five six seven eight he needs you to open up the gate" the girl carried on singing.
Luke turned towards the voice and could see the girl stood at the end of the corridor.
"It's you again isn't it" Luke said as he walked towards the voice.
"One two he's coming for you" The girls voice sang.
"I know" Luke said.
"Three four he's unlocked the door," The voice continued.
"What do I do?" Luke asked as he walked towards the girl.
"Five six beware of tricks" She carried on singing.
"How do I stop him?" Luke added.
"Seven eight decide your fate," the girl told him.
Suddenly the lights in the corridor went out and the girl was gone.
"She can't help you this time," A voice said.
Luke turned towards the voice.
"Who's there, show your self" Luke demanded.
A figure walked out of the darkness, and Luke thought he was looking in a mirror. The person standing in front of him was himself.
"What..." Luke started.
"What am I, I'm your shadow," the other Luke continued.
"My shadow" Luke repeated.
"Yes, its time you face a few facts, no one likes you, and you know that don't you" the other Luke answered.
"Your wrong" Luke said.
"Am I, then why do you think your mum packed you off to university, why do you think Clyde and Rani didn't try to make you stay " Luke's doppelganger asked.
"It was my choice" Luke answered.
"Was it now, wasn't it Rani's dad who said you should go to university?" the other Luke added.
"Yes but…." Luke replied.
"Even your headmaster wanted you to leave, then again the whole school wanted you gone" The other Luke continued.
"Shut up" Luke his double.
"Or what you'll run away" The other Luke said as he moved closer.
Luke remained silent.
"You know Sanjay's only your friend, because Sarah Jane told him too, and where are Josh and Danny" the other Luke continued.
"I said shut up" Luke almost yelled as tears began to form in his eyes.
"Arrw, is lukey boy going to cry, what would Maria think of you now" The other Luke mocked.
Luke didn't answer his doppelganger.
"Mind you she went all the way to America to get away from you," the other Luke added.
"She only left because of her dad" Luke replied trying to fight back the tears.
"Yes but she soon chose her dad over you didn't she" Luke's double answered
Luke couldn't hold back the tears any longer; the worse thing was his double was right Maria had chosen her dad over him. Luke fell too his knees and tears began to fall.
"Don't cry luke" a voice called
A shriek of laugher echoed though the corridor as a door in front of Luke opened.
"Hello again lukey boy" the voice called from the open door.
It was a voice Luke hoped he'd never hear again, the voice of the nightmare man.
"Arrw, luke all alone" the nightmare man continued as he appeared in the doorway.
"No you can't be here," Luke said.
"Oh but I'll always be in your nightmares, Just like he always is" The nightmare man added.
"Luke" a voice hissed in the darkness.
A chill ran down Luke's spine he knew that voice,
"He's coming luke," The nightmare man continued.
The teenager then slowly turned and looked down the corridor and could see something was at the other end, and it was coming towards him.
"He's coming for you Lukey boy," the nightmare told him.
Luke then turned and ran down the dark corridor.
"Won't do any good to run Lukey boy," The nightmare man continued as his laughter echoed behind Luke.
Luke came to the end of the corridor where a set of fire doors, which led outside, but he couldn't open them.
"There's no escape from me Luke," An evil raspy voice told him.
Luke then slowly turned and saw a dark figure slowly walking towards him.
"Come on, come on" Luke pleaded as he desperately tried to open the door.
"Set me free Luke smith, set me free" the figure hissed as he came closer.
The figure the reached out to grab him with a skeletal hand and Luke gave the fire doors one last push and the doors swung open, the teenager then ran through the door.
He was now running through woodland late at night. The boy ran as fast as he could, but the figure was still gaining on him.
Luke then suddenly fell to the ground he had tripped over a tree root. He turned to see the dark figure approaching him.
"You now belong to me luke smith," The figures raspy voice hissed.
"Leave me alone" Luke pleaded.
"I'm afraid I can't do that," the figure continued.
The figure grabbed Luke and picked him up.
"The time has come to set me free Luke smith," the figure added.
To Be Continued.
