A Druid's Potion:
Skyla and Percy were still in the headmaster's office looking at a picture of the girl Skyla kept seeing.
"Do you know that girl? Asked Percy.
"Yes, I mean, no, Can't we go? I mean, it's so scary in here we shouldn't be in here," said Skyla.
"Being a detective includes risks," said Percy. "We've to know how Mr. Danbury and Mr. Gibson are involved. Why the both of them have the mark?"
The door opened and Milo walked into the office and pointed to Percy.
"Percy, don't do it! Don't go to the dark side! You won't turn me into a toad!" Said Milo.
Skyla walked out of the office and Milo made a cross with his fingers and kept his eyes closed. Milo opened his eyes and saw that Skyla was gone and turned to Percy.
"Percy, you're undercover, right? Or aren't you? You're not on Witch Girl's side, right? Do you want to become a toad?" Asked Milo.
Percy said nothing and just looked irritated at Milo, he put his flash light away, grabbed his satchel and walked out of the office.
"Percy? Run, Percy! Run away from it!" said Milo.
In the meantime, Anastacia was in the room with Lexie and had just confronted Lexie about her passport, that had a diffrent name in, then the name she has been using.
"Bernadette Cole?" Asked Anastacia.
"If you had such a dumb name you would change it too, right?" Asked Lexie.
"Is that simply possible?" Asked Anastacia.
"Of course," said Lexie.
"So if I want to be called Anastacia Haas, it's possible?" Asked Anastacia.
"Yeah," said Lexie.
"Not that it's necessary, once Raphael and I are married, I'll take his last name," said Anastacia.
"Can I've my passport back?" Asked Lexie.
"I've to say you look totally different on here," said Anastacia.
"Yes, that's right, I went to the hairdresser the day we took that photo, my hairdresser isn't great so that's why it looks so weird," said Lexie.
Anastacia looked at the picture. Lexie held out her hand and Anastacia handed Lexie back her passport.
"Thank you," said Lexie.
Lexie put her passport in her pocket and walked away. Anastacia saw something lying on the floor and picked it up, it was out clipped piece from the newspaper.
"Mall burned down, said Anastacia, as she read the title of the newspaper article.
Skyla had fled to the library and sat at the table and she placed Mouse in front of her and could only think of the picture she and Percy found in Mr. Danbury's office.
"Why was a picture of the girl in the headmaster's office? Are Mr. Danbury and Mr. Gibson somehow involved? Maybe they're member of some sort of witch gang. And that's the reason they have the mark," said Skyla. "Or am I a witch? Percy must notice, he has to."
"Skyla," said Percy, as he entered the libary.
Percy approached and Skyla looked away nervously. Percy walked over to the table and sat down next to Skyla.
"I lost you," said Percy. "Why were you scared? Do you know what girl?"
Skyla did not answer Percy's question and looked ahead.
"You don't have to tell me, Detectives ask too many questions," said Percy.
In the meantime, Milo was also in the library and sitting at one of the computers.
"Liberating from witch curse," said Milo, as he typed it in the search machine.
Milo looked at various websites about witch curses, but didn't understand much about them. Milo turned a looked at where Skyla and Percy were sitting.
"I'm going to save you, Percy, hold on," said Milo.
In the meantime in the house. Arlene grabbed the phone and called Mr. Danbury.
"Hubert, it's me," said Arlene. "Do you know more?"
"He won't say anything, I saw Skyla in his classroom, it's looks like she was looking for something," Mr. Danbury.
"They have one of the books, Kent thinks that Mr. Gibson is involved, Follow him, find out that the man is up to," said Arlene.
"But I don't know," said Mr. Danbury.
But before Mr. Danbury could say anything else, Arlene hung up the phone and she walked toward Kent's study room and went inside.
"Hubert will follow Mr. Gibson, he will call when he knows something," said Arlene.
"Good," said Kent.
Arlene left the study again, Kent said nothing and looked at the druid book as he took a sip of his coffee.
Back at school, the Anubis residents and their classmates had history class.
"And the druids were passionate about magic. They sang mysterious songs under the moonlight. They brew…, said Mr. Gibson.
The class was interrupted by Mr. Danbury walking into the classroom.
"Mr. Danbury what are you doing here?" Asked Mr. Gibson.
"I usually follow a class of a new teacher," said Mr. Danbury. "May I?"
"Yes, of course," said Mr. Gibson.
"Go ahead," said Mr. Danbury.
"Fine, World War II," said Mr. Gibson.
"Weren't we..," said Milo, but Mr. Gibson cut him off.
"I want an essay of 500 words about the start of World War II and its influence on the countries that taken over," said Mr. Gibson.
"But I don't understand why," said Lexie, but Mr. Gibson also cut her off.
"You've until the end of the class to finish, get to work," said Mr. Gibson.
"Very well," said Mr. Danbury.
"Thank you," said Mr. Gibson.
"Good luck," said Mr. Danbury.
The students began the assignment Mr. Gibson had given them. Mr. Danbury walked out of the classroom, Mr. Gibson walked toward the door to see if the headmaster was really gone.
"Good, where were we?" Asked Mr. Gibson.
"The rituals," said Raphael.
"Yes, the rituals, it may not be a full moon tonight, but we're going to try to brew one of their potions," said Mr. Gibson.
"Cool," said Milo.
Skyla and Percy looked at each other, finding Mr. Gibson's behavior odd.
In the meantime in the house, Arlene was in Kent's study and had a list in her hands.
"I only need to find the Rowan berries and cat hair," said Arlene.
"Yes, those are the ingredients, If you've everything, we can create the potion for the first incorporation," said Kent.
"Can I…?" asked Arlene, but Kent interrupted her.
"You can leave," said Kent.
Arlene nodded her head and left the study and Kent went back to preparing for the first induction.
Back at school, students were busy making a druid potion during history class. Mr. Gibson walked past the tables and handed each pair a Rowan berry.
"The Rowan berry, the holy tree of the druids," said Mr. Gibson.
"You think the recipe is from the book?" Asked Skyla.
"Is everything going alright here?" Asked Mr. Gibson as he passed Skyla and Percy.
"Yes," said Skyla.
Mr. Gibson often walked over to the door, always looking over to see if anyone was coming and Percy had noticed it.
"He keeps looking at the door, did you notice?" Asked Percy.
Percy's watch began to beep; he stopped his watch and raised his hand.
"Sir?" Asked Percy.
"Yes," said Mr. Gibson.
"Can I go to the toilet?" Asked Percy.
"Sorry, Percy, during a potion you can't simply leave," said Mr. Gibson.
Percy began to feel more and more dizzy and the smells were getting stronger and stronger.
"It requires full focus," said Mr. Gibson.
"I'll be right ba…," said Percy.
Percy wanted to get up to leave quickly, but the smells became too much for him and he passed out. Everyone was startled and gathered around Percy. Milo began to rock Percy back and forth.
"Percy! Percy! The spell is working, he becoming green, he is becoming a toad! Percy! Percy! Fight against it, Percy!" Said Milo.
Percy opened his eyes slowly began to regain consciencess.
"Look, he is waking up, hey, Percy," said Milo.
Percy got up, grabbed his bag and left the classroom, the rest of the students sat down.
"Okay, well, as you can see the magic of the druids can be too much for some people," said Mr. Gibson.
Skyla also sat back down and looked at the door, wondering what had happened to Percy.
After class Percy was at his locker and spraying himself full of deodorant, Skyla walked over to see how Percy was doing.
"Are you alright?" Asked Skyla.
"I'm fine," said Percy.
"You passed out," said Skyla.
Percy grabbed his recorder from his pocket and turned it on.
"I probably passed out due to the damps of the druid's potion, that's all," said Percy.
Percy turned his recorder off again and put it away, Mr. Gibson walked down the hall and walked over to Skyla and Percy.
"Percy, are you okay?" Asked Mr. Gibson. "You scared us, I know Rowan berries can have a strong odor, but that was a very strong reaction."
"I don't know," said Percy.
"Does it happen to you often? Have you gone to a doctor before?" Asked Mr. Gibson.
"This was the first time, I don't know what happened," said Percy.
"Percy," said Mr. Gibson.
"I've to go home," said Percy.
Percy grabbed his bags, closed his locker and walked away quickly. Both Skyla and Mr. Gibson looked worriedly at Percy.
And while the rest of the residents were on their way home, Raphael was in the drama room and sat behind the piano and played the song he had written and began to fantasize about how Skyla was singing his song and that they were getting a standing ovation and that he was almost kissing her, but his fantasy was broken by Ms. Mills calling his name.
"Raphael, I did something dumb, I called your father," said Ms. Mills.
"Yeah," said Raphael.
"But you probably already know that, because he was extremely angry, if he could hear what you just played, it's no classical music," said Ms. Mills.
"It's nothing, and you didn't hear anything," said Raphael, as he started to pack his bag. "I've to go."
Raphael got up and left the drama room.
In the meantime, Anastacia walked in the woods and was following Lexie, she came out to a place with a large tent and saw Lexie sitting while making food over a campfire. Anastacia put down her suitcase and cleared her throat, Lexie looked over and was startled to see Anastacia standing there.
"What is that?" Asked Anastacia.
"A tent," said Lexie.
"A what?" Asked Anastacia.
"To camp in, when you go on vacation you sleep in it," said Lexie. "Have you ever been on a vacation?"
"Of course, We go to one of our villa's in Bali, Paris or we take our yacht to a tropical island," said Anastacia. "But a bed never fits in that."
"No, you sleep on a mat," said Lexie.
"But you aren't taking a vacation right now?" Asked Anastacia.
"I'm taking one now, I wanted to go camping, sleeping outside with a campfire," said Lexie.
"Campfire," said Anastacia.
"Yes," said Lexie.
Anastacia pulled out the newspaper article and confronted Lexie.
"Like in the mall?" Asked Anastacia.
"It wasn't my fault," said Lexie.
"Did you burn down your house as well? Is that why you live in a tent?" Asked Anastacia.
"I can go back, if my mother knows, I…," said Lexie. "Can I live with you in your beautiful house?"
"Yes, that is possible, but you've to do something in return," said Anastacia.
"That doesn't matter, I'll do anything for you, you laundry, I'll clean your room, I'll do your homework, I'll clean your sunglasses and if necessary I'll iron your laundry," said Lexie.
"Everything?" Asked Anastacia.
"Yes," said Lexie.
"Okay," said Anastacia.
In the meantime, Skyla was already home and sitting in the windowsill in her room with Mouse in her hands, she was still worried about what had happened to Percy during history class and she also couldn't stop thinking about the picture she found in Mr. Danbury's office.
"Percy passed out, I don't know if it's because of the druid's potion, but…," said Skyla. "Should I have told Percy about the girl?"
Suddenly Skyla heard something and this did not make her happy.
"The girl? Mouse, tell me it isn't true?" Asked Skyla.
Skyla turned around and saw the girl standing in her room.
"Skyla," said the girl.
"Go away, I don't want to see you," said Skyla.
"You've to help me, please, Skyla. They're keeping me captured," said the girl.
"Who?" Asked Skyla.
"You've to go to Leopold, find Leopold, Skyla," said the girl.
Who is holding the girl captive? Who is Leopold? And why does Skyla have to look for him? Also, will Skyla find out what exactly is going on with Percy? And will Skyla, tell Percy about the girl? What will Anastacia, make Lexie do in exchange for letting her stay at the house?
