Chapter One

"Camille" A familliar voice called. Camille roused from her slumber, her eyes still shut. Who was calling her name? It was a familliar voice but she didn't recognize it right a way.

"Camille" the voice called agian. The idea of not knowing who it was irked Camille. She had heard the voice before but she still remained unenlightened. It wasn't Oscar's voice. Or Ira's. And definitely not Randall's. She racked her brain for whoever else it could have been.

" Who's there?" Camille called, her voice hoarse from slumber. She still hadn't opened her eyes, affraid of who might be there in front of her.

" Oh come now, Camille. My voice isn't that hard to recognize" the voice nearly snapped at her. An electrical current of sudden realization traveled through Camille's entire body. She shot up, suddenly affraid. Opening one eye, Camille found her suspictions to be correct. It was Domorius. She opened the other eye, her gaze still focused on him. Domorius' lips were curved into a cruel smile. Camille looked around her and she gasped in horror. She was in the underworld. Than Camille sighed.

" This is just a dream" She told herself, still half a sleep.

" Oh, Camille. Foolish Camille." He chuckled at her ignorance.

" I brought you here. Because I want you to do...something for me" he said, the smile still upon his face.

" I didn't know you could bring me here. I hate how powerful you are!" Camille practically spit the words into his face.

" I'm much more powerful when the stones are in my possesion" Domorius hinted. " I'm not fetching them for you!" She yelled at him. Camille had a feeling that that was what he wanted. " If you want them get them yourself!"

" You know I can't leave the underworld. How would I get them?" Domorius' mocking voice only made Camille more Angry-probably his point.

" Send one of your couriers!" Camille snapped back at him.

"And get me out of here!" She added, pounding the air. Here Camille was, in the underworld, brought there by Domorius. She hated his name. She hated everything about him. She hated him.

" Well, Camille, I can't just send one of my couriers to fetch the stones. This is a task that only you can perform" he was almost giddy as he spoke. At that moment she wanted to step on his foot, or punch him in the gut. She decided that the latter would be best...for now at least. She started toward him but she stopped as he spoke.

" Ah, ah, ah! Remember our little agreement?" Domorius asked jumping back. He knew she remembered but it was more like a retorical question. Camille rubbed her temple where the horseshoe shaped scar from three years ago was mostly faded. Making a deal with Domorius was probably the biggest mistake she could have ever made. In fact, Oscar was still mad at her for it. Camille really had tried with Randall. But things just didn't work out and both of them went their seperate ways. They both agreed that it was for the best.

That's when Camille booked a voyage straight to Eygpt. She had decided to keep the stones, just in case. Once in the underworld Camille found Domorius more infuriated with her than last time. She made a deal with him. If he allowed oscar to return to earth for good she would do his "bidding". This was the second time he had called upon her.

After using the stones she contacted Maggie and gave them to her to protect.

" I don't even know where Maggie is! And even if I did she would never give them to you! Even you know that" Camille's heart beat faster. She knew she couldn't leave until she promised to cooperate.

" Yes, but you'd better find her and get the stones from her. I would love to have Oscar's soul re-enstated into my...collection" He threatened. Camille hoped that he didn't see the sudden look of horror on her face.

" You wouldn't!... Would you?" Camille hated how stupid she had just sounded. Of course he would! She was talking to ruler of the underworld. He was heartless and wouldn't make any deals unless he benefitted from them.

" You don't want to loose your precious Oscar, do you?" Domorius was by far the most evil person she had ever met, if you could call him a person. He would take back Osacr's soul if she failed or didn't cooperate. Who knew. He might even find a way to trap Camille there, forever. Camille sighed and dropped her shoulders.

" How much time do I have? " Camille asked. Domorius smiled, knowing she'd given in.

" One month " Domorius said.

" ummm, wait a minute. How will I get back down here? One month is not enough time to sail all the way to Egypt. I would need at least five month's" Camille said hoping he would give her more time. Domorius snapped his fingers and something appeared out of the air, if there was any air. It was a necklace similair to the ones the couriers wore but it was different. This necklace had a smaller pendant that had the three pyramids on one side. On the other side was a scripty letter D and a ghostly figure behind it. It was gold just like the couriers pendants. The chain was like a tiny braided rope which was gold as well.

" Now will you get me out of here?" Camille asked.

" Of course. I trust that you won't fail me" He said, handing her the necklace.

" When you find the stones, snap the chain and you will instantly appear here. The second the one month period is up both you and Oscar will instantly appear here, even if you aren't wearing it" Now he had a smurk on his face and Camille wanted to punch him in the gut again. A hazy mist fell over her and the last thing Camille remembered was wanting to kill Domorius.
