I was the first one awake the next morning. I sat up in bed yawning and rubbing my eyes. Everyone was still flat out, and Fliss and Lyndz were snoring a bit.

I pushed back the duvet and swung my legs out of bed. Then I stopped. I’d just noticed something. There was a piece of paper lying on the floor. Someone had pushed another message under our door in the middle of the night!

“Hey, wake up you lot!” I yelled as I dived across the room and grabbed the piece of paper.

“Urgh!” Kenny mumbled, pushing the duvet off her head and sitting up.

“Oh, shut up, Rosie!” Frankie yawned.

“It’s not time to get up, is it?” Fliss moaned.

“That cheese has given me a stomachache!” Lyndz groaned.

“Be quiet, you lot!” I gabbled, as I read the note through quickly. “The prisoner in the attic has sent us another note!”

That got them all going!

“What!” Kenny and Lyndz both jumped out of bed and collided slap-bang with Frankie and Fliss who were already charging across the room towards me.

“Yeah, she pushed it under our door last night while we were asleep!” I waved the piece of paper at them.

“She?” Lyndz repeated, “Who is it then?”

“Listen!” I read the note aloud. “Hello, my friends. My name is Jeanne. I am a prisoner in the attic, and I am only set free during the day when everyone is out and at night time when everyone is asleep. I have to do all the cooking and cleaning round here. Come to the attic tonight at midnight. Please help me – you are my only hope!”

We all stared at each other in amazement.

“We’ve got to help her!” I said.

“We will,” Kenny said firmly. “We can’t let that horrible Chantal get away with this!”

“Maybe we should take the note to Mrs Weaver,” Fliss suggested for the third time.

“Fliss could be right,” Frankie agreed solemnly. “This is getting pretty serious!”

“Mm, but we ought to check it out first,”Kenny insisted. “We’ll look pretty stupid if it turns out to be a fake!”

“Kenny’s right,” Lyndz said. “And we’re not exactly Mrs Weaver’s favourite pupils at the moment either…”

“I don’t think it is a fake.” Frankie studied the note carefully.

Kenny nodded. “Neither do I. Look, all we’ve got to do is check it out first. If it’s true, then we’ll have to let the teachers know.”

“OK,” we all agreed.

“What are we going to do then?” Fliss asked, her teeth chattering.

“We’ll go up to the attic again tonight,” Kenny said grimly. “And this time nothing’s going to stop us. Not even Scary Chantal…”
