"Julia!"

    Julia looked up from reading a science textbook. Brody was running toward her with his arms waving frantically and his face was in a panick.

    "What is it!" Julia said angrily. "Don't you see that I'm busy?"

    By now, Brody had reached her.

    Brody cought his breath and whispered in a breathless voice, "The passage has opened again!"

    "What?!" Julia cried in alarm. What was Brody saying? The passage had closed forever right after Julia and Brody went through it. But why is it opening now? And why?

     "Where is it?! We have to go before the other kids find it!" Julia exclaimed. Then she saw the other people glaring at her and lowered her voice. "So where is the passage?"

     Brody hesitated and looked anxious.

     "Tell me!" Julia erged him.

     "Well.....I'll just show you." he said and motioned for Julia to follow him.

     10 minutes later, Julia and Brody were standing infront of the boy's bathroom.

      Julia stared at Brody. "Are you sure the passage is in there? If not, I'm in big trouble!" she said, glancing around to make sure nobody was looking. Then she took a huge step into the boy's bathroom.

      Brody just nodded and followed Julia inside.

      Julia could see that the passage has really appeared. It was dark and tiny whirlpools were here and there. It made Julia dissy to just look at the passage again. Through the passage, Julia saw marble floors and walls. It didn't look a bit like Caerus's temple. Far ahead, it had a door which Julia didn't recongnize.

      Julia sighed and turned back to Brody. "So now what should we do?" she asked.

      Brody just shrugged. "I don't know. That's why I called you to help." he said and stared at the passage.

      Julia took a step back. "Maybe we should leave the passage here and just go away." she said nervously.

      Brody didn't blame her. The last time they went the ancient Greece, they barely made their way back. So the idea of Julia was a kind of a good one. But Brody had changed after the trip to ancient Greece. He wasn't the old Brody anymore, who only thought about himself and was pretty selfish.

      "Maybe...we should go back." Brody said finally.

       Julia stared at him. What was Brody thinking? If they go back now, how will they return? The passage might close after they pass through it. There was no way she was going.

       But before they could discuss anything more, a boy stepped into the boy's bathroom and spotted at Julia with this 'OMG' look, ran out of the bathroom, screaming.

       "Uh, oh. I think we're in trouble." Julia whispered as she heard the boy running for the principal. "Maybe we should get out of here."

       "Yeah. Let's get out of here." Brody said and with that, he jumped into the passage, pulling Julia with him.
