“So,” Dan smiled. “Let’s go over the rules of the challenge.”

The four boys were in Red and Bailey’s room at Sekhmet House, discussing their little bet.

“Kay, first, what does the winner get?” Red asked.

“Hmm...”

“The losing team has to do the winning team’s homework for a month,” Dan suggested.

Red smiled. “I like that,”

“Sounds good with me,” Bailey agreed, leaning back on his bed.

“What about you, Dan?”

“What?” Walking Bunny asked. “Oh, sorry. I’m just...a little distracted tonight. Yeah, sounds great.”

“Well...okay. So I guess that’s agreed. Let’s think of some other rules...”

In her room, Sophie was studying, while Liz was watching a video on her laptop. Then Theresa walked in.

“Hey guys,”

“Oh, Hey,” Sophie looked up and smiled.

<p class="MsoNormal">Liz, who was singing along to the video, was a little late to notice. “Oh, hey!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“What were you watching?” Theresa asked her.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Wrecking Ball,”

<p class="MsoNormal">“...Alright. So, who wants to work on our sport?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Me,” Sophie put her book away and sat up.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Ooh, I will,” Liz said. “Can we call it Wrecking Ball?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Uh...I’d rather not,”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Fine...”

<p class="MsoNormal">Later that night, Walking Bunny and Dan both returned home. Rather than get to bed, though, Walking Bunny grabbed a flashlight a moment later and was on his way to check out Anubis House for himself.

<p class="MsoNormal">Looking outside the window, Corrin saw him walking, and went to go chase after him. “Hey, Dan, wait up!”

<p class="MsoNormal">He turned and smiled. “Hey Corrin, you want to come with me?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Come where?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I want to check out Anubis House.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Surprised and worried, she knew she couldn’t let him go in alone, so she said, “Sure, but one second.” Corrin grabbed her phone and texted the other house members.

<p class="MsoNormal">''Hey guys, get out here, Dan’s about to go to Anubis. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">Rachel and Marie, who were both still up and talking, ran outside after their friend. Taylor, who had been alert due to her room-mates absence, also came. Dan was in the shower at the moment, and Sophie, Liz and Theresa were still busy talking about their project and arguing about whether or not to call it Wrecking Ball.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You guys all want to come with me?” Walking Bunny asked happily.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well, we can’t let you go alone,” Corrin pointed out.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Nope,” Taylor agreed. “So I guess we’re all going in together.”

<p class="MsoNormal">The five of them made their way to the boarded up Anubis House.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Do we need a key or something?” Taylor asked, when they stopped at the door.

<p class="MsoNormal">Marie shrugged and went up to the door, and was about to touch the knob, when it opened on its own. Freaked out, she backed away.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Guys, this is kind of creepy.” She said.

<p class="MsoNormal">Walking Bunny looked around at everyone. “Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s check this place out.”

<p class="MsoNormal">All five of them exchanged glances, and then, silently, entered the old house.
