Sibuna Sacrifice // House of Anubis Season 4

xxxix || house of curiosity

Eddie walked into the dining room in the morning to see Patricia, Joy and Fabian all looking down at a piece of paper.

Sibuna got back late last night, so hadn't yet been faced with Vincent, meaning he didn't know that they'd escaped the house.

Eddie took a seat beside Patricia and rested his arm on the back of her chair, "What are we looking at?"

"Riddles," Fabian commented, "Right, so, we can see what's going on if we look through some kind of hole," he referenced the riddle, 'You can see what's going on, take a peek through the hole to know all.'

"What abut the hole in Frobisher's Secret Study?" Patricia shrugged.

"If we look through there, then all we see is the cellar," Eddie spoke.

"That's true," Fabian nodded, "What can we possibly see besides the cellar?"

Patricia stood up from the table and walked into the kitchen. She then looked around for a moment before ripping all the sheets of kitchen towel off the roll. After that, she picked up the empty inner tube and handed it to Fabian.

"Uh, thanks?" Fabian spoke, confused.

"Look through it," Patricia demanded.

Still confused, Fabian followed Patricia's demands and looked through the tube, "What's the point of this task, Patricia?"

"What do you see?" Patricia asked.

"Uh, the other side of the table."

Patricia nodded, before picking up the piece of paper with the riddles on. She then placed the paper over the other end of the tube, blocking Fabian's view of the table, "Now what do you see?"

"The riddles," Fabian told her.

"Exactly," Patricia smiled.

Fabian lowered the tube from his eye, "I really don't get what you're saying, Patricia."

"That Victor could put some sort of indication to where the Ankh Cross piece could be over the hole, right?" Joy chipped in, helping Patricia out.

"Thank you!" Patricia exaggerated.

Eddie slowly nodded, "So, when do we go down there?"

Patricia looked around, double checking that there was no-one around them, "Let's go now."

They all nodded, before standing up from the table and walking towards the cellar door. Fabian pulled a paper clip from his pocket and was about to break into the cellar, before there was a loud knock at the front door.

All four of them jumped at this sound and immediately moved away from the cellar door. All of them hesitated before Fabian walked over to the front door and answered it. There stood Mrs. Miller.

"You!" she hissed, walking into the room, "All four of you! How did you get out?"

Fabian glanced back towards the other three, "Uh, get out of where, Miss?"

While Fabian was busy playing dumb, Eddie just march right towards his mom, "You locked us in there? You were that old woman? How could you?!"

"How did you escape?" Mrs. Miller hissed.

"Why is that any of your business?" Edie shouted, "You're the monster that locked us in there!"

"Eddie," Patricia hissed, gently pulling Eddie's arm back.

"Get off of me, Patricia!" Eddie yelled tugged his arm out of her grip.

"Eddie, seriously," Patricia rose her tone a little.
