Eddie's POV

I awoke promptly whilst everyone was still sleeping or getting changed. I quickly changed into some denim jeans and a faded blue shirt that Patricia had bought me last summer.
I pulled open my door with caution looking for any early birds. Luckily no one was up yet besides Trudy and Alfie. Alfie is never up so early which got me a little curious but I continued up the stairs and directly into the attic.
I crept up the stairs leading to the attic, quickly falling to my knees to open the box which Alfie had previously stumbled upon. I grasped the box.

"Okay, what secrets are you hiding?" I lifted the lid off the box to reveal lots of envelopes, old photos and newspapers. I shuffled through them all.
"Nothing" I uttered, disappointed. I closed the lid and stood up. As I did so, something hit my foot. I bent down and stared at it.

There it was a photo of Dan and some other guy whose head seemed to have been chopped off the photo or something. I turned it over.
'Dan aged 7. 1875'

"Impossible!?" I stared at the photo. "There is no way he can create the elixir... Can he?"

I heard the door shut behind me. I threw the photo on the floor and ran down the stairs. I yanked on the door handle.
"Damn it" I said. "It's locked"

Amber's POV

"Finally" I said feeling accomplished. "My hair looks fabulous as always" I placed my straighteners back and went down stairs to find Alfie had been cooking again.

"Alfie... You're cooking?"

"That's right babe and that means the return of..."

"Please don't say your marshmallow fratartas" I whispered to myself.

"Ta dah" He said placing his marshmallow fratarta in front of my face.
"This one is for you my darling"

"Oh gee thanks Alfie. Why don't you go and see if the others want any?"

"Great idea Ambs" He said running off upstairs, banging on everyone's door. I saw this as my opportunity to bin his fratarta.

"Hey Amber" Came the voice of Nina shortly followed by Fabian, Joy, Jerome and Brad

"Hey" I replied to them all.
We all tucked into breakfast. Patricia was late.

"Have any of you seen Eddie this morning?" She asked

"Nope" We all replied
She went upstairs to find him.

Patricia's POV

"Eddie?... Eddie?"

"Yacker?" Came that familiar reply, leading me to the attic. I couldn't help but laugh at his misfortune.
"Cut it out" He said "Get me out of here"

"Hang on" I said pulling a hair clip from my hair and using it as a key.

"Thanks yacker. Where is everyone? I've got some weird and interesting news to tell them"

"They're all downstairs having breakfast"

"And Trudy?"

"Gone out for more shopping" He shot me a confused look.

"Alfie's been cooking again" He understood now, he yanked my arm and took me downstairs to be met with the others.

Everyone looked at the expression on Eddie's face and sat down.

"What's up?" Fabian said pulling up a chair.

"I went back upstairs... I found something in the box" Eddie paused "It was an old photograph of Dan"

"So?" Amber said

"It was dated from 1875" Eddie finished

"Oh now we have a problem" Amber said

"I mean is it possible for this to happen like how can he be alive I mean he can't create the elixir"

"Yes he can" Alfie interrupted

"What?" Eddie said shocked
"What!?" Everyone turned to face Alfie.

"This morning, the cellar door was open and I found a book open on a page explaining about elixirs and sacrifices"

"Alfie can you go and get this book?"

"Yeah one sec" He went in the cellar and brought the book. He passed it to Eddie, Eddie read the book.

"I... I don't believe this" Eddie said shakily
