After lunch, in the geography and culture lesson, Ms Rivers announced that they were going on a statue hunt in the school grounds with their unicorns.

“I’ll give you a list of artefacts to find,” Ms Rivers told them. “Answer the questions about them and the first team to arrive back with the correct answers will win a prize.”

“This is the best lesson ever!” said Sienna as they fetched their unicorns.

Sam and the boys from Topaz were ready first. “We are so going to win! Watch us and weep, Ruby dorm!” he cried, before galloping away with his friends.

“I don’t know how you coped with having to spend all lunchtime with him,” Sienna said to Evie, pulling a face.

“It was a bit weird,” said Evie. She wondered whether to mention her suspicions about Sam and Dr Briar, but she didn’t have any proof so she decided to keep quiet for now.

To Evie’s relief Sunshine seemed back to her usual friendly self that afternoon. “This is fun!” she whinnied as they galloped towards the rose gardens with the others.

The girls visited the rose gardens, the safari trail, the play park, the vegetable garden and the lake, ticking nine of the ten items off their list. “We just need a winged unicorn statue now,” said Lyra.

“There’s one in the orchard,” said Evie.

As they approached the orchard, the boys appeared at a gallop from the direction of the play park. “Faster! They’re going to the orchard too,” Sienna shouted.

Ruby dorm raced into the orchard with the Topaz boys right behind them. The rearing unicorn with wings was on a plinth by a pear tree. Sunshine reached the statue first. She halted abruptly in front of it, making Evie slip sideways on her back. “Are you OK, Evie?” Sunshine said, anxiously stamping her feet.

“Yes, yes, I’m—”

But Evie broke off as there was a flash of pink and the statue exploded.
