I've finally updated!
(Chap 3: off to Egypt?) (Crys' P.O.V)
The sun was rising in London, England, and I had been kept up all night by Indy's snoring. I had finally fallen asleep on the plane and was awoken by the sound of Indy's voice.
"Ok. Ok. There's no need for this is there?"
"On the contrary, it is necessary so we don't have any little kiddies leaking out little tales to any one do we?" came a smug yet proper English voice.
I stood up near the plane's door. Indy was talking to some posh British man in a tuxedo, two other men had a hold of Shorty who had a piece of cloth in his mouth. The lion cub I had saved stood beside me, it felt my uneasiness and hissed at the tux man. "Kumi" I whispered at him and he stopped immediately. I had (obviously) called him Kumi.
I decided to show myself, as the man was pointing a gun at Indy. Putting on my proper British voice I spoke up.
"Is everything alright Dr. Jones?" Immediately Indy relaxed.
"Who is this?" the man pointed the gun at me.
"This is my good friend…" Indy struggled to think up a fake name for me.
"Lottie. Lottie Jones. Mr. Jones here is my uncle, he home tutors me."
"What about your parents child?"
"I… don't know sir."
"What do you mean, you don't know?"
"My parents disappeared when I was born sir"
"Well then, I suggest that you keep your mouth shut, or I shall get some one to shut it for us."
"I have a better idea. How about you just tell us what you want, we'll get it and you wont. And you'll keep your gob shut." I said going into my east Londoner accent. Indy whipped the gun from his hand.
The man stood forward with a knife in his hand and went for me. Kumi stood in front on him and growled. For a moment the guy was scared, but then he kicked Kumi over. I ran out of the way of the blade, but he moved again. The blade just caught me in the side of the head hard enough to knock me unconscious.

I woke up two days later in a hospital. Indy was sitting beside me on one side and Shorty on the other.
"You ok kiddo?" Indy spoke softly. I just nodded, my voice was killing me with pain.
"You'll be ok. If that's what Dr. Jones say, he's right."
"We know what were after. The Scarab pendent. It's in Egypt. They want it because they think whoever has it will be given it's untold power. But only one person can use it, anyone else will be cursed."
Finally I found my voice, in a weak rasp. "Who is the one who can use it?"
"In some hieroglyphs, the Egyptian people talk of a magical person, a person with abnormal knowledge of the future, who will come, thousands of years after the ways of ancient Egypt have long since gone. The one who can use the pendant's magical properties. Probably an alien or something. Stranger things have happened"
I smiled as he remained so open minded to what could be. He had such an imagination, and he had to be that way. If he weren't, he never would have found the Lost Ark, or solved the mystery of the Temple of Doom. Things were never going to be the same again.
"We'll set of for Egypt when your better."

A few days passed and I was up and ready. I ran to, and around, the air port, trying to find Indy and Shorty. I found them just befor the two were about to board. Indy gave me a slightly annoyed look, I just grinned.
"Off to Egypt?"
Indy grinned. "Off to Egypt."
I walked aboard in front of Indy and he started laughing. He must have seen a certain lions' tail sticking out of the bag I was carrying (and heard the purring). I grinned and giggled back at him.
Maybe living here for a while wouldn't be so bad. I didn't have to worry about being bullied, I didn't have my abusive family to worry about, I was on an adventure of a life time and this made for some grate time to study history and geography myself, by actually seeing it myself.
Things were going how I like it.
