Operation Witch Girl:
Milo was in his room and had seen all these weird images after eating the Rowan berry, he started twitching all over. Lexie came into the room and saw that something was wrong with Milo, she walked up to Milo and tried to snap him out of it.
"Milo! Milo!" Said Lexie.
"Whoa! Where am I?" Asked Milo.
"What happened? Did Skyla bewitch you?" Asked Lexie.
"No, nothing is wrong," said Milo, as he was slowly calming down.
"What happened? It looked scary," said Lexie.
"I… I was in a detective trance, yes, it's a special technique to get a better view on certain situations," said Milo, as he got out of his chair.
"Wow," said Lexie in amazement.
"Yes," said Milo.
"Can you teach me that?" Asked Lexie.
"It takes a lot of time to teach and it is very difficult so," said Milo. "So how is operation Witch Girl going?"
"I heard Skyla talking to someone in the bathroom and when I looked no one was there," said Lexie.
"Good job, partner," said Milo.
"And she was talking about a certain Emma and she said she was afraid Percy would discover she is a witch," said Lexie.
"Dude, she admitted it," said Milo.
Milo grabbed Lexie hands and together they jumped up and down with joy.
"This is our breakthrough! We've to celebrate," said Milo.
"Yeah," said Lexie.
"Wait, if Skyla is afraid, that Percy might find out she is a witch, she will make her strike soon," said Milo.
"Together with that Emma," Lexie.
"Exactly, man, we've to think of something, before she turns Percy into a toad," said Milo.
"What is the plan?" Asked Lexie.
"Yeah, if you follow Skyla 24 hours a day, okay? Where Skyla goes, you go, but you can't tell anyone okay," said Milo.
"Aye-aye boss," said Lexie, as she saluted to Milo.
In the meantime Skyla was in the bathroom, Percy walked into the bathroom and locked door and then walked over to Skyla to talk about the investigation.
"I've researched the berries, but it didn't give me any new information, there are simply Rowan berries," said Percy.
"So Arlene is innocent?" Asked Skyla.
"I didn't say that, as far as we know Rowan berries are only used for dark druid's potions," said Percy.
"What does Arlene want with a dark druid's potion?" Asked Skyla.
"I believe the answer is behind the secret door, If I'm able to get in and hide, I might discover some things," said Percy.
"But how will you get in? Asked Skyla.
"I've a special skeleton key, said Percy.
"Isn't that too dangerous? Asked Skyla.
"With the right detective techniques there will be minimum danger, said Percy.
"What if you get caught? Asked Skyla.
"Yeah, I just have to be very careful," said Percy. "Are you coming with me?"
"Me?" Asked Skyla.
"I could use some help," said Percy.
"Okay," said Skyla.
"Nice, I'll see you tonight in the corridor when everyone is asleep," said Percy.
In the meantime Raphael was down the hallway talking to his father on the phone and his father was anything but happy after being called by Mrs. Mills about the musical. Anastacia stood at the top of stairs and eavesdropped on the phone conversation.
"I want for that woman to leave me alone!" Said Mr. Haas. "Did you hear me Raphael?"
"Yes, yes, dad, I hear you," said Raphael.
"If that woman bothers any of us once more, I'll file a complaint with the headmaster," said Mr. Haas.
"It won't happen again, dad," said Raphael.
"If you get involved with that musical, I'll take you to a different school, do you hear me?" Asked Mr. Haas.
"Dad, I hate musicals, I would never participate in something like that," said Raphael.
Anastacia found Raphael's comment odd, she took the note he had written to Skyla out of her pocket and read it again. Anastacia wondered why Raphael told his father that he hated musicals, but asked Skyla to join him in the musical
A few moments later, Skyla was sitting in the living room quietly reading a book, Lexie was also sitting in the living room pretending to read a newspaper, when in fact she was busy spying on Skyla. But Skyla had already realized that Lexie was watching her.
"Exciting?" Asked Skyla.
"Uhm, yes, very exciting," said Lexie.
Lexie put the newspaper back in front of her face and Skyla resumed reading her book, Lexie carefully looked over her newspaper and spied on Skyla again.
"Very impressive," said Skyla.
"Huh? What?" Asked Lexie.
"That you're able to read the newspaper upside down," said Skyla.
Lexie put her newspaper right and continued spying on Skyla again.
In the meantime, Arlene had gone to the girls' room and thought back to what Kent said, that now they couldn't use peeping eyes. Arlene grabbed Lexie's bag off the bed, she got down on her knees and began to search Lexie's bag. The door opened and Anastacia stood in the doorway.
"Hi," said Anastacia.
"Anastacia," said Arlene.
Arlene began to fold Lexie's clothes again and put them back in the bag. Anastacia walked into the room and sat down at her makeup table.
"I was cleaning, Lexie is quite messy," said Arlene.
"Yes," said Anastacia.
"Do you know where she is from?" Asked Arlene.
"Uh, why do you want to know?" Asked Anastacia.
"Do you know her parents maybe?" Asked Arlene.
"No, no, I don't know anything about them," said Anastacia.
"There must be a reason why she wants to stay here," said Arlene.
"Yes, there obviously is one," said Anastacia.
"What is that reason?" Asked Arlene.
"Me, of course, everyone likes to be near me, day and night, it has always been that way since I was a little girl," said Anastacia.
"Of course, so dumb of me," said Arlene.
Arlene closed Lexie's bag, got up and put the bag back on the top bunk and left the room again.
A few hours later, Kent was in his secret room looking through the stargazer at the night sky.
"It's time, Mercury appears during the evening sky. Rowan berries, cat hair, all the ingredients are here, tonight we will brew the druid's potion," said Kent.
Kent turned and walked toward the table and looked at all the ingredients of the druidic potion, then he walked toward the crystal dome.
"And then, my dear brother, it's waiting for the first incorporation," said Kent.
In the meantime, all the residents were in bed. Raphael kept thinking about what his father would do if he will do me in the musical, fortunately no one had found out that he registered as Paolo. Raphael really wanted to participate in the musical, but was afraid that if his father found out that he had to leave Anubis house, then he would have no freedom and would never be able to see Skyla again. And through all these thoughts, Raphael just couldn't sleep.
At the same time in the girls' room, Skyla lay nervously in her bed and looked at her watch to see what time it was, in a few hours she and Percy will go to the secret door and hope then they can find out more about what all was going on. Skyla looked at Anastacia who was already asleep, Lexie looked hung out of her bed and looked at Skyla, Skyla turned and looked toward the wall.
Back in the boys' room, Percy lay quietly in his bed, his watch started beeping, he grabbed a deodorant from under his pillow and started spraying himself with it. Milo hung out of his bed and to talk to Percy and started coughing because of all the deodorant Percy sprayed. Percy stopped spraying the deoderant and put the bottle back under his pillow and Milo scraped his throat.
"Hey, Percy," said Milo.
"What do you want Milo?" Asked Percy.
"Percy, I've proof that Skyla is a witch," said Milo.
"Right," said Percy, but from his tone it was clear that he didn't believe Milo.
"Yes, my assistant heard her say it, she admitted it, it's proof," said Milo.
"Assistant?" Asked Percy.
"Yes, I really recommend that you have one," said Milo.
"Well, go ahead with your confession, let me hear it," said Percy.
"Funny story, we heard her say it, but didn't record it," said Milo.
"Goodnight," said Percy.
"Percy," said Milo
Percy put on his nose clip and turned around and stopped listening to what Milo was saying.
"Dude? Percy?" Asked Milo.
Half an hour later. Anastacia was dreaming about the musical, she was wearing a beautiful dress for her performance and people were clapping loudly for her and Raphael was the pianist in her dream, he started playing, Anastacia opened her mouth to sing but a very false sound came out and the audience started laughing. Raphael started playing again and again Anastacia tried to sing, but again a false sound came out of her mouth. The audience began to laugh and boo Anastacia. Anastacia looked at Raphael who just simply shook his head in disappointment.
Anastacia woke up from her dream, when she realized it was just a dream she went back to sleep.
A few moments later, Skyla looked at Anastacia and saw that she was sleeping again, she grabbed her glasses and got up from her bed, while Skyla was putting on her glasses, Lexie opened her eyes. Skyla gently walked toward the door and left the room.
At the same time in the boys' room, Percy looked at his watch and saw that it was time, he got up from his bed, he grabbed his backpack and left the room.
When Skyla and Percy, were both out of their rooms, Milo and Lexie both got out of their beds and left their rooms and followed Skyla and Percy.
Skyla and Percy walked very carefully down the hallway, when no one was there they walked toward the door. Skyla and Percy both put their ear to the door to see if they could hear anything, but they couldn't hear much. Percy got down on his knees and looked over to hear the keyhole. Milo and Lexie came sneaking down and hid behind the plant.
"What do you see?" Asked Milo.
"Nothing," said Lexie.
The front door opened, Milo and Lexie put their hand to their mouths and were silent, Skyla and Percy quickly went to the kitchen to hide. Two persons dressed in cloaks entered the house, they walked to the secret door and went inside. Skyla and Percy could see and of the cloaked persons and saw that it was Mr. Danbury.
In the study were Kent, Arlene and another person in a cloak, Mr. Danbury and the other person in cloak went next to them standing around the cauldron.
"Welcome, all of you," said Kent. "As you saw, Mercury has appeared in the sky."
Skyla and Percy walked cautiously toward the door, being watched by Lexie through her binoculars.
"What do you see? "Asked Milo.
But Lexie didn't answer and was focused. Milo grabbed the binoculars from Lexie and began pulling on them.
"Now it's my turn," said Milo.
"They are my binoculars," said Lexie.
"You're my assistant, you've to do what I say," said Milo.
"Give it back," said Lexie.
Milo and Lexie kept fighting over the binoculars and were no longer focused on Skyla and Percy.
In Kent's study, they were about to begin making the druid potion.
"Time for the first incorporation," said Kent.
But the process was disturbed by and sound coming from the hallway. Percy and Skyla had also heard this sound and quickly hid in the kitchen.
"What is plan B?" asked Lexie.
"Run," said Milo.
Milo and Lexie got up and wanted to run away, but were grabbed by the collar of their t-shirts by someone.
Who had discovered Milo and Lexie? What will happen to those two? And will Skyla and Percy find out what is going on in Kent's study?
