~ CARLO ANTI ~

ITALY, VILLAFRANCA DI VERONA

WEDNESDAY, 8:07 AM

He went through the portal and found himself in a street in the vicinity of his high school, looked around and walked as if nothing had happened, although he remembered what might happen to him after the terrifying events of the previous evening. He reached the entrance of Carlo Anti walking briskly under the white crescent shaped canopy and noticed with surprise two members of Eye Of Earth together with the Principal and the school security professor Stefano analyzing the cracked glass door of the main entrance. Shaken and panicked he ran inside without being too noticed, but Stefano told him:

Stefano: "Good morning, Mr. Loris!!! Late?" he said sarcastically with a smirk.

Loris: "G-Good morning!! Always!!" he hastily exclaimed as he ran toward his classroom.

Strangely, he had not stopped him to ask what had happened, but why?

Astrid: "What do you think could have happened? Was there someone else? A night guard?" she asked puzzled.

Stefano: "Absolutely not!!! The school was closed and well sealed!!! Instead I have a question for you, who would hire a night guard in Italy and especially in a school? This is not America that every three by two mysterious things happen!!!" he exclaimed sarcastically and incredulously.

How had the professor not mentioned the boy? Why had he not told her that there was a student guarding the school? Perhaps he had done so to defend him, but in truth that was not the case. An arcane force was manipulating both Stefano and the Principal not to tell what had actually happened and protect Loris from Eye Of Earth. If the truth came out, Loris could be taken to Eye Of Earth headquarters, forced to tell the truth under torture and then perhaps set a trap for I.M.P. and kill them, but the way things were now, I.M.P. was his friend and did not want him at all.

Ghost: "Did you check the security cameras?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

Stefano: "That was the first thing we did!!! The cameras recorded nothing except a gray screen with four red eyes, resembling an owl, perhaps?" he said thoughtfully and desperately.

Astrid: "Owl? Could we see?" she asked in curiosity.

Stefano: "Come with us!" he said stressed.

After that Stefano and the Principal accompanied Astrid and Ghost to the secretary's office while something strange happened to the headphones of the two undercover spies from Eye Of Earth. Through the radio link they could hear screams and the sound of a mighty creature roaring, forcing annoyed to take them off as they muttered through clenched teeth.

Principal: "Are you feeling well, sirs?" she asked worriedly.

Astrid: "Ouch! Uhm... We are fine! We have to leave now, sorry to bother you!!!" she exclaimed in panic, but before she left she gave her a blue letter.

Astrid: "Give it to Loris! Right away, before one of our people finds out about us!" she said hurriedly and then ran with Ghost toward the exit.

Ghost: "What the heck happened?"

Astrid: "Surely Ethan made a mess of his own with that stupid book!!!" she exclaimed angrily.

Ghost: "Let's hurry before something bad happens, it's too dangerous now!!!"

Astrid: "Duh, only Loris can unlock this, and he already has the solution!!!"

Ghost: "He is a boy!!! He can't handle it by himself!!!" he exclaimed worriedly.
