Chapter 2 - Sekhmet
I glanced at everyone rushing to the Pharaoh and I stood there shocked. Rush over to him you dumb idiot. I jumped slightly and sighed, "Don't scare me like that Sekhmet!" I rushed over to them and looked at the Pharaoh. Let me have you control dumb one. I nodded and closed my eyes. I shuddered for a second and then opened my eyes. Horus looked down at me and sighed, "Everyone step back she's switched." Isis looked at me and bit her lip, she stepped back and Master Ra touched Anubis's arm and he drew back. The rest of them filed behind the three and the looked worried. I rested my hand on the Pharaoh's chest and everything stopped. More like time stopped for everyone as a light shone.
After a few seconds, everything was back to normal and I yawned. "He's okay…" Master Ra sighed, "Does anyone know if he got hit?" We shook our heads and Isis says, "I would have picked up on it and so would have Anubis." I looked over and sighed. "It's more like internal than external." Isis frowned, "What do you mean?" I sighed and looked over. "Didn't you notice his difference? The change he experienced drained a lot of his energy internally." Isis nodded, "I did notice he did act differently… but how… and why?" The other nodded and Master Ra sighed. I looked at Master Ra and asked. "Do you mind if I take a gander at what is happening since you most likely know since you have been with him the longest and the old Pharaoh." Master Ra nods, "Sort of." I looked over nodded okay. "From what I've seen this has probably happened before. Did this happen with the previous pharaoh?" Master Ra put his hand on his chin, "The previous Pharaoh didn't get hit as hard, maybe because he was older…" I nodded and looked back down at the pharaoh. "So then it's genetic. When I looked at him I could tell there are forces fighting within him. So I assume that the pharaoh we just saw was the other force in control." Master Ra shook his head, "It's more of a spirit of the crown." I sighed and nodded, "I assume the spirit is his predecessor or the originator of this all." Master Ra shrugged, "I've never been in the first Pharaoh's tomb… But yes it's an original Pharaoh I presume." I yawned and felt slightly dizzy. I fell on my back and I felt someone next to me. "You've done enough Sekhmet." I nodded and was get set down on the ground. "I think I better let Bastet take control." I looked up and noticed Horus and he nodded. I closed my eyes and everything became quiet.
My eyes fluttered back open and looked up. "They're back to normal. Welcome back Bastet." I nodded and looked around. "What happened and why do I have a splitting headache?" Isis sighed, "Your other self healed the Pharaoh… he's fine thanks to Sekhmet." I took a deep breath and looked at Horus. "What are you doing!?" I hit Horus away and he remained calm. "You about fainted." I looked over and hissed. "Fainted what a lie!" I tried to get up but fell. Horus grabbed me and sighed. "As I said, you about fainted." I quietly hissed in annoyance as I was set back down gently. Horus got up and looked down at the people. "Everyone the Pharaoh is fine but now he needs rest. The party is now over you all may go." The citizens of Egypt murmured and they dispersed slowly. I looked over at the unconscious pharaoh and sighed. "Who is going to get him back inside?" Master Ra sighed, "Horus, help me carry him. I am sure you can carry him on your own but I need to talk to you." The Pharaoh looked like he had a fever but I was too drained to let Sekhmet have control again. Horus looked at me and asked. "Will you be able to get up yourself?" I nodded and he walked over to Master Ra. "Very well then Master Ra." He and Master Ra picked up the Pharaoh and Horus cradled him in his arms like a child and they walked off. "You need some rest," Isis said and she waved a servant down and they brought a stretcher and they placed me down and Isis whispered something to them and they nodded. They rushed me off down the hall and into a private hot spring. "Be well Miss Sekhmet." They said and left me alone.
I looked around and sighed. "I am so not getting in that." Isis's voice sounded, "Sekhmet! I got some towels would you like some?" I looked over at Isis and hissed. "Do you all want to kill me!" Isis tipped her head, "No. I just thought some relaxation would be good for you." I looked over and sighed. "I'm not getting in." Isis sighed, "Fine. Just go relax. The servants said that the Pharaoh is getting a doctor from the town to make sure he isn't ill since you are out of commission. I am sure he is fine. It's his first encounter with the spirit so it must have been hard." I looked away. "I'll be fine I just need a few minutes. What Sekhmet used was more strong than others." Isis tipped her head again, "I thought so but we just need to make sure he is fine." She leaves and the curtain swished behind her. "Anubis! You scared me!" Anubis's voice sounded, "You shouldn't be, you see everything." Their voices drowned out and I leaned against a wall. I kept quiet and watched them leave. I heard a slight ringing noise in my ears but shook it off. I walked away and headed back to my room.
