Julia and Corenn lied on the ground for several minutes. Julia slowly woke up. She noticed there was something tickling her back. She open her eyes to see nothing but sand.

"Hey, Corenn," said Julia as she tried to wake Corenn up. "Corenn!"

"What?!" Corenn finally said. "What's wrong now?"

"What's wrong? Look where we are!" We're in the middle of nowhere!" Julia yelled.

Corenn chuckled. "Look, you've got an echo."

"Enough about that! We've got to get home!" said Julia. "It's hotter than hell here."

"Yeah, I guess. Ok let's get up and go ask for directions," replied Corenn.

Julia got up and Corenn noticed something on her back. "Umm, Julia, there's something on your back," she said.

Julia looked over her shoulder to see a big black thing on her back. "Get it off, get it off, get it off," Julia replied.

"Ok, hold still," said Corenn. Corenn tried to pull the bug off of her but it would budge. "It's no use; that things stuck there."

Julia screamed at the top off her lungs. A mysterious figure started to walk towards them. "Hey, Corenn," said Julia.

"Yeah, Julia."

"You see that too, right?" Julia asked.

"Yeah."

The mysterious figure walked over to them. "Hi, there," it said. "I couldn't help but over hear your dilemma, but I think I can help you."

"You think you can help us," responded Julia.

"Well, do don't quite know what we've got here." he said. "Have you tried pulling the bug off?"

"Yeah, it didn't move," said Corenn.

"Well let me try." He put down his staff and grabbed a hold of the bug. "Hmm, it didn't move. This is one stubborn beetle."

"Well, thanks for the help. We'll try find someone who can pull it off," said Julia as she started to walk away.

"Wait, this isn't just any beetle; this is a poisonous one. Pulling it off a certain way will inject its venom into the host and eventually kill them," he replied. "Here come with me; I can find you the right person to get rid of it."

"Hold up! I ain't going with you; I don't know you," said Julia.

"Julia, this is a matter of life or death and you're gonna complain," said Corenn.

"Oh, its fine. I've shoulda told you my name in the beginning. I'm Maurice," he said.

"But you're a lemur," said Julia.

"And you're just noticing that now," replied Corenn.

"Yeah, go figure," Maurice said to Julia. "Now, if you follow me, I'll bring you to someone who can get rid of this thing."

As they kept walking through the desert, object and buildings started appearing. Many of the buildings looked like mansions; they were all made out of what looked like sandstone. There was a statue of this king that appeared every five feet.

"Umm, where are we?" Julia asked Maurice.

"Well, you're in Egypt," he replied. "To be more specific, the year 1332 BC."

"Hey Corenn, how the hell did we get here?" asked Julia.

Corenn just shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know; I'd be more concern about how you got that beetle stuck to you."

"They say these beetles like to suck people's blood. They can sense where there are living beings and they will follow the scent till they find a host. So, that's probably why you have it," said Maurice. "We see these things all the time here, so to us its not a big deal."

"Hey, Corenn, remember from history class, we were learning about this time," said Julia.

"Yeah, we're in the year King Tut first became ruler of Egypt," replied Corenn. "He ruled since he was nine or ten, I don't remember which, and he died when he was 18 in the year 1323 BC."

"So, do you think we'll meet King Tut?" asked Julia.

"Well... no, you won't, but you will meet a king," said Maurice.

A/N: So... there's a little bit of actual history in this chapter. Now you know when King Tut ruled Egypt.
