Chapter 4
When I woke,Mara said
"So tell me everything about that whole doodah last night!"
I groaned inwardly. Then recounted the whole story. I saw the clock and said
"MARA! It`s seven A.M.!"
Even Trudy wasn`t up yet!
"I was hoping to do some early studying with my new roomie!"
Wow,this girl is keen!
"Let me have a shower,Mara."
"OK. I`ll get my books out! And then I`ll bring you up to our level."
I nodded and smiled. I may actually be good at art. As I showered,I heard a yell.
"HELP ME,SOMEBODY! THERE`S SOMETHING IN HERE!"
I had my dressing robe and wrapped myself up. I scooted to Trudy`s room and saw her sobbing on her bed.
"Trudy,was it you who screamed? Did you see a spider?"
She shook her head.
"It was some type of spirit and it wants some ankh necklace. It`d threatened me and left."
I sat with her and offered my water bottle.
"Have a drink. It was probably just a nightmare."
She said
"It was so real. It was like it was really here."
Mara ran in.
"Dixie,I heard someone crying."
I nodded and looked at Trudy,who was still crying slightly.
"Trudy had some sort of nightmare."
Mara nodded sympathetically.
"I`ve got to go and finish my shower. I`ll be back in a few. Mars, can you stay with her for a few?"
As I walked to the door,I was stopped by a large black shape.
"You cannot leave. I want the Ankh of Osiris. Find it or you all three pay with your lives."
