five chatting.
    â€œSo what is the plan?” asked Angeline, a novice to the world she suddenly found herself in, and she couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
    â€œWe need to figure out a way to take away Blake’s powers and there is only one way to do that.”
    â€œHow is that?” asked Giuseppe.
    â€œThere’s a magical Cube which radiates light and with that magical, but dangerous, powers,” said Dave.
    â€œIt is the source at which The Grand Sorcerer and all of his Twisted Army charge their powers. The only way to rid Richard Blake and his gang of their evilness is to effectively drown the cube in its place of origin – the cylinder. It sounds strange to drop a cube into a cylinder but it will morph in shape once placed on the top and when that happens Richard and his cronies will finally be without power.”
    â€œSo where is this cube and cylinder Dad?” asked Vivian.
    â€œAt Blake’s home.” He answered gravely.

    Richard Blake was smiling and Cassandra had an evil grin on her face.
    The Hiding Place was dark but they could see. The Baroness saw a light illuminate the sides of the pharaoh box. Then, without thinking she jumped out of the coffin and landed in a heap on top of Blake.
    Blake struggled to break free. He eventually threw her off of him while Cassandra stood blinking with no clue what to do.
    The Baroness picked herself up off the ground and dodged the shadows Blake sent her way.
    She clicked her fingers and a fireball appeared in her hand. She hurled it at Blake but he simply laughed as his body illuminated with a blue shield, which glowed. The fireball bounced off it and turned to dust on the floor.
    The only consolation for The Baroness was that Blake could not make any moves within the shield so if he wanted to fight then he would have to come out and she would make her move.
    It wasn’t long before he reached his hand out with a fireball of his own and the shield came down and despite Cassandra finally lunging at The Baroness she managed to step out of the way and Cassandra fell to the ground, hitting her head and knocking herself out cold.
    Blake suddenly pointed at her and a ray of fire hit her body making her disappear and transporting her back to his home, guessed The Baroness. For a moment she thought she noticed something like concern in his eyes, she doubted it but whatever it was he was distracted and she took the opportunity to throw the potion at him. It hit him straight in the face. He was stunned for a moment and just as she was transporting him back to his carriage and away from her sanctuary he whispered – “I will not forget this. You will not take over the world – it is mine to take”, and he was gone.
    The Baroness then stood by the army he had left for dead and one by one she placed her hand on their foreheads and the lifeblood within them started to flow again.
    They were back but this time they were more powerful.
    No one could beat her, she decided. Not even The Three Circles.

    A very famous actress was lying on a sofa. She was cold. She needed a blanket but no one was here. Stephen Rice had not yet made his way home. Jacob Burke was out on business.
    Dawn Hughes strode into the elaborate sitting room and took a seat by the fire. She switched on the television. She thought about the events of three months earlier and about how she was rescued from a kidnapping by the evil Victor Left and his Purple Army. She wanted to know more about how she had come to safety but the only way she could do that was to find where they lived. She remembered the car. It was just the place. If she tracked down the car she could find out where they were – The Three Circles.
    She had decided that she wanted to pay them back. She wanted to become one of them.

CHAPTER 4
    Back at Deepwater Cottage
    The gang were back in the Blue Bentley and were driving through the ransacked heap of burnt apartments and cottages known as
