House of Anubis: The Grail of Anubis

House of Deals/House of Shadows

"Nobody gets in, nobody gets out. Now, I have somewhere to go. I have to make a new friend." Rebecca smirked.

She left, and from the outside she picked up an old chair and blocked it in the door.

(Do you know what I mean when I say that?)

"This woman is insane!" Rhys yelled. Sarah tried to open the door. "Nothing. Something must be keeping the knob in place."

Rhys picked up an old cheeseburger.

"I don't even know what this used to be." He dropped it.

"There is nothing to eat here. I'm starving." Sarah groaned.

"We'll be okay. Soon, Robert or Leslie will realize we've been gone for a long time and start to look for us. They are the only people we told." Rhys sighed.

"What is this?" Sarah looked at the Grail that was on the top shelf.

Rhys plumped down on the recliner.

She reached for it, but she was too short.

Rhys stood up and helped her. When he handed it back to her, they gazed into each other's eyes for a second, but came back to reality.

Sarah coughed. "Do you know what this is?"

"I'm a Millington and a Lewis. Combined. Are you really asking me this question?" Rhys asked.

"Right." She giggled.

Sarah sighed.

She set down the grail, and picked up a file she stepped on. She opened it.

"Oh my god."

August was napping in his room.

He opened his eyes for a minute, and swore he saw a shadow in his doorway.

August sat up in his bed. "It's your imagination, August. No need to go crazy."

Then, he saw the shadow walk straight past his door.

"I've just now realized I have to pee!" August walked out of his room, fast, and went to the bathroom.

He did his business, but when he was washing his hands, he saw the shadow in the mirror.

August quickly ran out of the bathroom, and ran into Arielle.

"Arielle!" He picked her up and spun her around. "A real person!"

"Put. Me. Down." She demanded. "So you're not the hugging type...?" August put her down.

"Where's my sister?" Arielle asked. "MacKenzie? I haven't seen her since dinner."

Arielle ran her hands through her hair. "Why are you looking?"

"I haven't talked to her, since, you know...but I'm ready to talk now."

"Oh. Well, I think I saw her head to the common room with Duncan."

"Thanks!"

Arielle headed to the common room, but Trudy caught her eye first.

She was examining her finger, and Arielle gasped. She ran over to Trudy.

"Your finger! That ring! That diamond."

"Oh, dearie. It was supposed to be a surprise."

"Surprise!" Arielle squealed. "Who's the lucky guy? Can I be in your wedding?"
