HELP ME!:
Skyla and Percy were in the still in the drama classroom, the two had no idea that it was already late and that a dark ritual had been performed on Anastacia. Percy looked at his watch and saw it was already past the hour.
"Something is off, How is this possible? Are we in the wrong spot?" Asked Percy, he walked on to the stage on looked at the sign on the floor. He then looked at his watch. "This is really weird, it's 19 past 1, nothing has happened for two minutes already."
"I don't know either," said Skyla.
Percy walked of the stage and turned on his recorder.
"Location, Drama classroom, the time has passed, but no signs of dark ritual, further investigation is absolutely necessary," said Percy. "I'm going to chick with these glasses if we missed something, I'll be right back, keep looking out for things."
"Okay," said Skyla.
"Think about the spying rules, hide, don't make, no sounds," said Percy.
"Okay," said Skyla.
"Okay," said Percy.
"Percy, what if someone is in the building?" Asked Skyla.
"Try to get away or hide. You're the greatest detective I know, you've got this," said Percy.
Skyla nodded her head. Percy opened the door, he checked that no one was walking in the hall, once he saw that the coast was clear, he left the room. Skyla looked around, she felt something was wrong, but couldn't think what.
In the meantime, Milo and Lexie were still locked in Mr Danbury's office. Lexie was searching Mr Danbury's desk to see if she could find the key.
"Okay, here we go," said Milo.
Milo wanted to go and ram the door in, but because of the roller skates, he had no balance and hit the door hard and fell to the floor. Milo crawled to the desk and stood up. He walked towards the chair and sat down.
"Alright, that was my plan," said Milo. "Lexie, do you have a good plan?"
"Why is there no key in here?" Asked Lexie.
"Of course now is the time I lose my super strength. The toads are gone and we're locked in," said Milo, as he rubbed over his sore arm. "The witches must be dying of laughter."
"Hey, who were those strange people in the corridor?" Asked Lexie. Milo turned to her. "Those shadows, you were talking about witches and ghost."
"Okay, Lexie," said Milo, he got up and walked over to Lexie and put his hands on her shoulders. "I'm going to tell you something, but you must keep it to yourself, okay? And don't scream because you're afraid, because it's quite scary."
"Okay," said Lexie
"Percy and I did a very secret investigation on the ghost of Anubis," said Milo.
"The ghost of Anubis?" Asked Lexie.
"Are you ready?" Asked Milo and Lexie nodded her head. "Are you sure?"
"Just tell me," said Lexie.
"The ghost of Anubis has huge feet," said Milo.
"Huge feet?" Repeated Lexie, and she looked with a bit of fearful look at Milo.
"Yes, hush, huge feet," said Milo. "He is probably the leader of the witches, who walked around the woods near our house and that's not even the worst part. There are probably like hundreds of them."
"Hundreds?" Asked Lexie. "Why did you tell me this? We still have to walk home. You and your stupid scary stories."
"Yeah… we're stick in here,' anyway, said Milo, as he sat down on Mr. Danbury's desk.
Skyla was still in the drama classroom, hiding in the corner. Cautiously, she walked through the classroom. The door opened and Skyla looked to see who came in but no one.
"Percy? Is that you?" Asked Skyla.
There was no answer, Skyla saw that the paintings in the room began to move and the last painting moved a long time and Skyla heard something similar to the sound of chalk.
Leopold was sitting in the history room on the floor against his desk, he had a the picture of him and Emma in his hands and was looking at it with a sad look
"I wasn't fast enough. No, I wasn't smart enough, Winnie and Hubert outsmarted me, all of a sudden they were gone, There must a portal there, I'll figure it out," said Leopold, he took of his glasses and whipped away his tears. Leopold looked at the photo. "Have a little patience, my little girl, I'm coming to get you. Like I promised you."
After the ritual, Mr Danbury and Winnie were back at school, they walked down the corridor to Mr Danbury's office and he saw that the alarm had been activated.
"Look at that," said Mr. Danbury
"What is wrong? Do you see something suspicious?" Asked Winnie.
"Something very suspicious. We've got an intruder," said Mr. Danbury.
"No way," said Winnie.
"It's probably overly Mr. Gibson, he sticks his nose in everything, but not for long," said Mr. Danbury, he turned to Winnie and handed her the glass box with the toads. "Here take this and hide it somewhere save. It's better you're not around for this."
Percy was near Mr Danbury's office and sat behind the wall around the corner. Percy carefully looked around the corner and saw Winnie walking into the library with the toads. Mr Danbury took off his cloak. Percy had seen enough and left.
At the same time in Anubis House, Anastacia was sleeping peacefully without her sleep mask on and she was being watched by Arlene.
"Hello is someone there?" Asked Anastacia who was still half asleep.
"Calm down, it's just me," said Arlene, she walked over the side of the bed, she knelt down and held Anastacia's hand.
"Oh, staff, I had a nightmare. I was in a forest and there was fire and a shadow. And I could see, without…, said Anastacia.
"Go lay down again," said Arlene.
"What if I can see without…," said Anastacia.
"Hush, we all have nightmares. Go back to sleep," said Arlene.
Anastacia nodded her head and she lay back down. She turned around and closed her eyes. Arlene's sweet smile disappeared and turned into a cold chilly stare. Arlene walked towards the door and left the room.
Back at school. Milo and Lexie were still locked in Mr Danbury's office. Milo gripped his stomach and heard his stomach begin to grumble.
"Lexie, I'm hungry," said Milo. "Do you have any food with you?"
"No, well, only chewing gum, said Lexie, she pulled out a gum package from her pocket and gave it to Milo. "Here."
"It's fine, I can dip them in my sambal," said Milo.
Milo grabbed his jar of sambal, he removed the lid and was about to dip the gum in it, when the office door opened and Mr Danbury entered. Milo and Lexie stood up and held each other as they saw that Mr Danbury did not look happy.
"Well, well, well… look who we have here. unexpected visitors, so late at night. Or should I say early in the morning," said Mr. Danbury. "What were you thinking? That there was a party going on here?"
"No..," began Milo.
"Silence, said Mr. Danbury.
"Yes, sir," said Milo.
"For a party you're at the wrong address," said Mr. Danbury. "Well Mr. Fletcher, you still want more punishments this school year?"
"No.. I.. we're here, even though it's not allowed. You're right. We're here..," said Milo, but he couldn't come up with something.
"To surprise you. Yes! That's why we're dressed up," lied Lexie.
"Yes," lied Milo.
"You looked so sad, so," said Lexie.
"Yes, we thought you look bad, so..," said Milo. "No! uhm.. it's the stress. The stress of dealing with all those annoying students. It's not…"
"That's why we thought to cheer up Mr. Danbury. And tada..," said Lexie, doing jazz hands.
"Tada!" Said Milo, also doing jazz hands.
"Ta? Da?" Said Mr. Danbury.
"Yes," said Milo.
"Now, tell me the truth," said Mr. Danbury.
"We thought the toads in your office…," said Lexie.
"That those toads are sort of enchanted, said Milo.
"Enchanted toads?" Asked Mr. Danbury.
"Well, more like enchanted students, you could say so," said Milo.
"Tomorrow, 6 am, here," said Mr. Danbury. "I think you understand what it means."
"6 am?" Asked Lexie.
Kent was in his study, studying a drawing, the door opened and Arlene walked into the room.
"And? How is she?" Asked Kent.
"Good, she thought it was a dream. She will be weirded out tomorrow," said Arlene.
"Keep a close eye on the others, I don't want them to think about it," said Kent.
"I'll do so," said Arlene.
The phone rang and Arlene answered. Kent sat down and looked at the drawing again.
"Arlene speak…," said Arlene, but she was interrupted. "Hubert."
Mr Danbury told Arlene what had happened and hearing this did not make Arlene happy. She told Mr Danbury that she understood and she thanked him. Arlene hung up the phone and walked towards Kent.
"Milo and Lexie were in his office, probably looking for toads," said Arlene.
"Pick them up, immediately," said Kent.
"Yes, I'm going to pick them up now," said Arlene.
Arlene left the room. Kent sighed in frustration; he looked at the drawing and started writing things next to it.
Back at school, Skyla was hiding behind the chairs in the drama classroom, she heard the door open and close and footsteps coming her way. Skyla kept mouse quiet, but did not yet know that it was Percy entering the room, he saw Skyla sitting down.
"Hey, are you alright?" Asked Percy.
"Yes," said Skyla, as she got up.
"No-one came in?" asked Percy and Skyla shook her head.
"How did it go?" Asked Skyla.
"I couldn't find anything," said Percy. "But I did see the headmaster and the librarian together."
"What are they doing here at this hour?" Asked Skyla.
"It's quite suspicious, they were wearing those strange cloaks again. The ones we saw at our house, when Mr. Danbury was there," said Percy.
Skyla turned and looked in the direction of the paintings. Percy took his recorder from his pocket and turned it on.
"Further investigation needed concerning strange clothes, possibly druid cloaks," said Percy, he turned off his recorder. "Are you okay?"
"The painting were moving. And I heard a noise, it's sounded like chalk," said Skyla. "May I have the glasses?"
"Yes," said Percy.
Percy handed the glasses to Skyla, she took off her own glasses and put on the special glasses, she looked in the direction of the paintings and saw that they had HELP ME written on them. She took off the glasses again and looked shocked.
"Emma," said Skyla.
Meanwhile in the house, Kent had gone to the star dome and walked towards the crystal dome and looked at Ewan and saw two pairs of eyes and knew the incorporation had succeeded.
"Ewan, Magnificent. We can look each other in the eyes again. This is only the first step. Four left. And we'll be together again. Brothers forever," said Kent and he stared laughing evilly.
Skyla was still looking at the text on the wall, suddenly she and Percy heard something and hid, but she dropped her glasses on the ground because of this.
"I've dropped my glasses," said Skyla.
"No, later," said Percy, as he stopped Skyla. "We need stay here."
The door opened and someone walked into the room.
"This is it. this is what he was talking about," said Skyla.
"Who?" Asked Percy.
"Leopold, he tried to warn me in my dream," said Skyla.
"For what?" Asked Percy.
"I don't kno..," said Skyla.
Skyla could not finish her sentence, the person who had appeared inside stood behind her and Percy and covered their mouths with his hands.
Who is in the room? Leopold? Or Mr Danbury? And what will happen to Skyla and Percy now? And what awaits the other four? Will the Dark Druids also take away their special senses? And who will be the next to be incorporated?
Side note: From now on Mr. Gibson will be refered as Leopold
