Merry Christmas guys! I was originally planning to release the final chapter of Whispers in the Black today, but it isn't ready. I really hope you guys like this because I mostly wrote it as fast as I could, but I'm afraid that this is going to be kind of short compared to the other chapters. I'm really glad that everyone is liking this story, though I'm honestly surprised about the feedback. P.S.- Speaking of Whispers in the Black, I definitely think that this story is stealing that storie's thunder. Plz give my other stories some love! Anyway, relax and enjoy this chapter of
The Sun's Moon Ch.4
None of these franchises belong to me. If they did, they'd be a lot better in movie form. I couldn't imagine writing that much like Stephanie Mayer did.
Reminder: all "Egyptian" words are actually Arabic. Put translations at bottom.
Bella's POV:
Ahmanet's smirk returned full force when Bella whispered her name. Her beauty, although still breathtaking, was scarred. Her hair was in a long braid instead of flowing freely. Her turquoise fingertips were covered in black, tattoos spreading all across her body. Pieces of her body were missing or scarred. Her cheeks were ripped, showing the inside of her mouth. Pale skin was wrapped in linen all along her body. Despite it all, Bella couldn't imagine anyone who ever looked more beautiful. Looking back up, her eyes were drawn to Ahmanet's, the irises a dark amber, drawing Bella further into the trance. The split irises looked up and down Bella's body, appreciating all they saw. The amber slightly reminded Bella of the Cullens, but instead of the sharp and bright feeling of gold, Ahmanet's eyes felt soft and soothing. Ahmanet stepped forward slightly before cupping the brunette's cheek. Bella instinctively leaned into the cold touch and when she opened her eyes again, the princess was looking at her with amusement before suddenly grabbing Bella and with supernatural speed, laid her onto the stone table.
Bella's eyes widened at the move and they landed on a stone angel above her head before shifting back to Ahmanet, whose eyes held the most mischief Bella had ever seen, causing her to shiver. Suddenly, she felt the cold hands move to her abdomen and Bella's eyes went wide as they started to pull her shirt up. Ahmanet smiled before lowering herself and pressed the side of her head into Bella's stomach, all while Bella screamed in her head "RED LIGHT! RED LIGHT!"
Ahmanet spoke in the same silk-like voice from the vision " 'akhira. hadhih allaylata, 'ant wamajmueat yjb 'an tusbih wahidatan wanahn sawf hakam maea. 'ant li wa'ana laka."
Bella chuckled before starting to crawl backwards while saying "As much as I enjoy the attention from a woman this attractive, I have to go. Nick's calling me and besides, I don't think I'm ready for another relationship."
Ahmanet pulled her back and commanded "kabih jamahuha."
Bella felt rough hands wrap around her own and when she saw the owners, she choked on the scream that probably should've come out. Zombies snarled at her, but her attention was turned to Ahmanet, who said "la takhafuu minya, Setepai. ln 'asmah lahum bi'iidhayik. la shay' sawf yakhudhuk miniy marat 'ukhraa."
Bella looked up to see Ahmanet's fingers caressing the stone angel before gripping it and crushing it in her palm. When Bella blinked out the dust from her eyes, she saw the princess holding a pitch black blade, elegant and curved. Despite being encased in a statue for who knows how many years, the blade looked freshly cleaned and sharpened. Ahmanet, to Bella's alarm, raised the blade over her head and said "ya raba. 'arhab bikum fi hadha alealam." She reached towards Bella's belt and took her machete and revolver. Snorting in disgust, she threw them into the shadows.
Bella tried to get out of the death grip of the corpses, but the princess smiled lightly while her other hand ghosted over the brunette's skin before Ahmanet sent the blade to Bella's heart! Bella closed her eyes and waited for the pain... that never came. Bella slowly opened her eyes and saw the blade was literally a centimeter away from her skin. Looking up, Bella saw Ahmanet caressing the top with her thumb, tears forming in her eyes. Bella looked to the handle and even from where she was held, it was obvious that there was a piece missing. Bella could her Ahmanet's breath trembling, but she soon stopped when a loud bang filled the room. Ahmanet, Bella, and the zombies turned to it in unison to see Jenny and Nick standing there with their mouths agape.
Jenny looked terrified and on the bridge of running/fainting while Nick took it stupidly, waved his hand slightly, and said "Hi."
Ahmanet looked down to Bella as if asking for an explanation. Bella turned her eyes back to them before saying "If you're not too busy, can you please help me?!"
Before either of them could do anything, Ahmanet disappeared. Jenny looked around the room carefully as Nick marched up to the zombies. Suddenly, Bella saw Ahmanet behind Jenny who was looking the other way! She shouted "Jenny, behind you!"
Jenny turned only to find Ahmanet's hand wrapped around her throat, slowly squeezing. Nick turned and looked between Bella and Jenny before turning to Bella and shouting "I'll be right back Bella! I have to take care of this!"
Ahmanet saw Nick running towards her out of the corner of her eye and let out a bored breath. She dropped Jenny to the floor, who gasped for breath, and replaced her with Nick, her voice filling his ears "kunt targhab fi almawt 'awala?"
Bella's eyes widened at the sight and all she could think of was "No, not again! No!" Something in her mind tried to tell her that Ahmanet was all she needed, but she didn't listen. A wave of pain and anger swept over her and before she knew what happened, she'd ripped out of the decayed hands and started to rip them apart! The first's head was completely crushed and the body was Spartan-kicked into a statue, the second was ripped completely in half, the third's head was shoved down it's body and slammed down onto the stone slab, and the fourth was smashed to bits.
Bella looked at her hands in awe before looking to Ahmanet. Nick's face was turning purple and Ahmanet leaned closer and roared " 'ant ln takhudh laha min ly!" before bringing him closer to her face. Realizing the danger, Bella sprinted over to them and grabbed Ahmanet, throwing the princess across the room! Ahmanet landed perfectly on the stone table before locking eyes with Bella, showing anger, confusion, and hurt glistening. Bella got up from her crouch, helped Nick to his feet, and shouted "Run!"
Following the two out the door, Bella dashed for the ambulance while shouting "One of you drive, she's in my head! Possessed chicks don't drive!"
Bella slipped in with Jenny right behind her while Nick started to hotwire the vehicle. Bella looked out the back and saw her. Ahmanet, eyes glistening with anger, strolling towards them with the dagger in her hand. Eyes as wide as saucers, Bella shouted "Perhaps you could hurry up?! It's Friday the 13th back here! I'd like to leave!"
Nick shouted back "It's not simple, you know! They make hotwiring look really easy in movies and video games!"
Jenny shouted "Nick, we need to leave now!"
Just then, the engine roared to life as Nick cheered "Got it!"
The ambulance took off, the church and Ahmanet already getting smaller. Bella collapsed in the closest seat while Nick's laugh of relief made it's way to her ears. Jenny turned to her before asking "What the fuck just happened back there?"
Bella answered "To be honest... I have no fucking clue, but she's in my head."
Nick asked "What did you mean by that?"
Bella replied "It's the only reason I can think about the visions. I keep seeing things that aren't there. She made that church into a Egyptian bedroom."
Jenny turned back to the road and said "She's trying to win you over, Bella. I don't think Ahmanet will hurt you if she can avoid it, but I wan to know what happened back there."
Nick asked "What do you mean? The part where Bella almost got killed? Pretty self-explanatory."
Jenny looked to him astonished and asked "Did you not see what happened? Bella had ripped those minions apart like they were nothing! Not to mention the fact that she threw her across the room!"
Nick sarcastically replied "No, Jenny. I was being choked out by a 5,000 year old model and I was kind of busy trying to breathe!"
Jenny shook her head before asking Bella "Where did she get the knife?"
Bella answered "It was in the statue. It was like she knew it was there. She almost did stab me, but it was missing a piece. It must've been really important."
Jenny asked "Did she say anything?"
Bella replied "Yes, but I don't know what. I don't know Ancient Egyptian, even though it might've been interesting."
Nick asked "Do you think she crashed the plane there for a reason?"
Before she could answer, Bella saw movement out of the corner of her eye. Bella looked closer, eyes widening before asking "Uh Jenny? How many workers were out here?"
Jenny replied casually "3 teams of 2. Why?"
Bella replied with a grim look "I only got 4."
Suddenly, a thud came from the roof and another jumped onto the hood! Bella grabbed Nick's pistol and shot at the roof, hoping to land one. The sound of glass breaking made Bella turn to see the other husk attacking Nick! She was about to shoot it, but she was hit from behind and the gun slid from her hands. The husk grabbed her and pinned her to the ambulance floor, snarling in her face. Gagging at the rancid breath, Bella looked for a weapon when she saw scalpels on the counter, but when she tried to move, the husk fastened it's grip. Pulling her legs under it's body, she kicked it off as hard as she could! The husk hit the back door before it came at her again. Bella sprang to her feet and grabbed two of the blades. Turning, she sunk one into it's knee and kicked it towards the door. The zombie crawled back up and came at her again. Bella sank the last scalpel into the side of it's head before twisting. Instead of tearing the face apart like she thought it would, the head did a complete 180. Looking to the open door, she grabbed it by it's shoulders and threw it out of the ambulance! Hearing Nick shout "That's my face! My face!", she saw Jenny trying to kick the husk off of Nick, but due to an extreme lack of aim, she kept hitting Nick's face instead. Bella rolled her eyes, picked up the gun, and took aim.
Nick saw her out the corner of his eye and shouted "No, Bella don't do it!"
She ignored him and took the shot, the husk going limp as it's head was destroyed. Nick kicked it out and drove over it while saying "Little bitch."
As Bella tried to take a breath, she heard a voice on the wind she knew all too well.
Ahmanet's POV:
Ahmanet felt the last of her servants disappear from her mind. Her eyes opened, the amber showing their fury, before her voice ordered "saeid jaysh baladay al'aswd. 'ahdir li almlk!"
Around her, the ground shifted. The dirt rose from the ground into pillars of earth. They reached up to her hips and when they burst, shrill cries filled the air.
Bella's POV:
Bella couldn't hear Ahmanet anymore and she collapsed in the chair. Nick laughed before saying "If that's the best she's got, we should be safe."
Jenny spoke up "Don't underestimate her, Nick. After all, she handed you your ass on a silver platter."
Nick replied "Super strength doesn't count. That's cheating."
Jenny continued "Not to mention she trained her entire life to be a warrior, back when fighting was pretty much an art form."
Nick was about to retort when movement caught his eye. He leaned against the wheel and asked "Do you girls see that?"
Bella looked with Jenny and her eyes grew with alarm before she shouted "Turn, Nick!"
The flood of scarabs raced along the pavement towards the ambulance, wings spreading before they attacked. As Nick tried to avoid the swarm, the scarabs shredded themselves into the engine and started ripping into the tires! One of the tires blew out and they swerved... just as they hit a hill. The ambulance began to roll down the hill, metal bending as it fell. Nick's door got torn off and he fell out, barely avoiding the vehicle's crushing weight. The ambulance finally came to a stop at the bottom of the hill, the two rattled passengers inside nearly unconscious. As Bella's vision began to clear, she started to climb out of the wreck and clutched her stomach as pain spread over it. Hearing shouts, Bella looked to the left to see Nick running towards her. Bella asked "Nick, you okay?"
Nick ignored the question and asked "What were those things? How could they do that?"
Bella rolled her eyes and said "Flesh eating scarabs, maybe."
Nick replied "I thought those were a myth."
Bella retorted "Everything about this is supposed to be a myth."
Suddenly, Jenny yelled "Guys, she's here! She's coming!"
Nick and Bella jogged to the front and saw Ahmanet slowly striding towards them. Bella knelt and started to help Jenny out when she saw Nick pick up a branch and start walking to the undead princess. Feeling something rise inside her, she swallowed it down just as she heard Jenny shout "Get her Nick! Kick her ass!"
Bella tried to say "Nick, that's a-"
Before she could finish, he swung... only for Ahmanet blocked it, the branch breaking in half, and uppercutted Nick into the air! Both Bella and Jenny tilted their heads to watch as he flew through the branches and 5 seconds later, he landed just 3 feet away from Bella! As he tried to get up from the ground, Bella finished "- really bad idea."
Suddenly, Jenny let out a scared yelp and when Bella turned, she found herself nearly face-to-face with Ahmanet, a wounded look on the princess's face. Ahmanet started to reach towards Bella as she asked "limadha sawf taemal mny? hal hadhih alhasharat yaeni 'ana alkthyr balnsbt lk?"
Ahmanet looked to Jenny with flames of hate raging in her eyes. Before Bella knew it, the princess had blurred to the door before reaching in for Jenny. Bella reached for the pistol, but found an empty holster. Looking into the ambulance, she saw the Glock laying on the floor after the crash. Bella looked back to Jenny to see Ahmanet grab her by the throat ... but then, a metal harpoon ripped it's way through Ahmanet's chest. Ahmanet looked down for a split second before looking to Bella, whose look of horror reflected her own, before she was pulled down the slope. Despite Halsey's shouts to stop, Bella raced down the hill after the princess. When Ahmanet rose, she took the knife and cut the wire and started to move towards Bella. Bella kept moving towards the princess, but another harpoon pierced Ahmanet's arm, followed by one to her shoulder.
Ahmanet's POV:
Despite it all, Ahmanet kept walking, her teeth bared as she pulled herself to Bella. That soon stopped when she felt the familiar prick of needles in her skin. Reaching up, she pulled out the small capsules and saw a little of the familiar glint of mercury. Ahmanet's eyes widened before the familiar burning sensation of mercury returned, spreading through her body and eliciting a scream of pain from the princess. Ahmanet looked up as more harpoons hit her and saw several men in black walking towards her. Feeling something tugging, Ahmanet looked up to see Bella trying to pull one of the harpoons out. Another man walked up and shot Bella. Her Chosen immediately wavered, falling to the ground just as Ahmanet let out another scream of fury.
She looked up to the man with murder in her eyes before she saw him aim his weapon at "Nick". Her Chosen's friend slumping to the floor just as quickly. As more men came from the trees, Ahmanet saw Jenny rolling Bella over and inspecting her. Black machines made their way through the trees before stopping, several more men emerging followed by a man in a gray suit. He was middle-aged, however it was not clear at first. His clothes outlined his muscular physique. As he neared her Chosen, Ahmanet growled in warning, wishing she could rip him apart before doing it to everyone else.
The man asked "Are you sure, Jennifer?"
"Jenny" replied "I'm sure. Ahmanet chose Ms. Swan to be her Chosen, but I have something else to report. Back at the church where we were attacked, Bella managed to destroy several of Ahmanet's minions in seconds."
The man hummed before saying "We'll have to wait until she wakes up for answers. In the meantime, we should get our guest to the containment chamber."
He turned to Ahmanet, the gray eyes looking over her as she struggled to break free before he said "Extraordinary. You truly live up to your reputation. Allow me to introduce myself as is common courtesy. My name is Doctor Henry Jekyll. Welcome to the modern world, Princess Ahmanet."
Carlisle's POV: This happened before Bella woke up in the morgue.
"Are you sure Alice?"
Alice rolled her eyes before saying "I'm sure about what I saw, Carlisle, but you know it can't really be relied on."
Jasper put in "Yet, we can't ignore it. We need to make sure before we run off, though. Perhaps one of your friends knows something, Carlisle? The Volturi might know something."
Carlisle shook his head before saying "That's last resort. I'll speak to Amun. If he doesn't give me answers, then I'll try to call Tanya. I don't want Aro involved."
The father figure picked up his phone and dialed in Amun's number. Putting it up to his hear, he waited through the dial tone before "Carlisle? What do you want?"
Carlisle replied "It's good to hear your voice, Amun. Listen, Alice had a vision and is very concerned about it."
Amun asked "Is it the Volturi?"
Carlisle answered "No, but it involves my son's mate. From what we can tell, it is very serious and we need your help to figure out who it is."
Amun sighed and said "Give me the details. What happened in the vision?"
Carlisle put the phone on speaker, motioned to Alice, and she begun explaining what she saw "I saw Bella in an armed forces uniform. She and several others went down into a pit where they found some kind of chamber. Bella broke a chain and a sarcophagus came out of a pool of metal."
Amun hesitated before asking "Was there anything else?"
Alice answered "Yes. There was a woman. She was pale, almost like a ghost. Except for the tattoos. They went along the length of her body. She had a black knife and Bella was pinned beneath her."
Amun asked "Did you hear a name?"
Alice hummed before saying "A man in the vision said "Princess Ahmanet". Does that mean anything?"
They could hear Amun curse and whisper "They found her" before he shouted something to Kebi.
Carlisle asked "Amun, are you there?"
Amun spoke again "Carlisle, this is extremely bad news."
Carlisle asked "What do you mean?"
Amun replied "What your daughter saw was a deep secret of my past life. Ahmanet was destined to be pharaoh before we imprisoned her."
Alice asked "Imprisoned her?! Why would they do that?!"
Amun replied "My grandfather told me the story. His grandfather was part of the order who imprisoned her. She killed the pharaoh after he had a son. She killed her entire family and planned to take the throne, but the priests found her and mummified her alive, taking her far away from Egypt. If she truly has come back, I'm not sure if anything can stop her. Listen to me, Carlisle. Run. Run far away. Take your family and pray she doesn't find you. My coven needs to leave before it's too late."
The phone went dead, the line disconnected. Alice looked to Carlisle and asked "What are we going to do?"
Carlisle replied "Keep an eye out. If there's any proof to what Amun said, I doubt she'll stay below the radar for long."
Jasper asked "What about Bella?"
Carlisle answered "We leave her alone."
Alice tried "We have to find her, Carlisle. She could be killed if we don't."
Carlisle shook his head while saying "She's Edward's mate and he told us not to involve her. We have to honor his wishes."
Suddenly, Rosalie blurred into the room and shouted "Even if his choice could kill her?!"
Carlisle shouted "I'm the leader of this coven and -"
Esme blurred in and interrupted him with a slap across the face before she shouted "Then why don't you act like it! You're the leader of this coven Carlisle, but the moment Edward pouts, you roll over for him! I'm sick of it!"
His eyes were black with anger and soon, Carlisle looked away and mumbled "I need to hunt. Pack your bags. We're going to the airport in 2 days." before he blurred out of the house.
Alice watched him until he was out of hearing range before saying "All right. I don't know about you guys, but I'm leaving. I need to find Bella. Who's with me?"
Esme spoke up first "You all know that Bella's family to me, despite the short time we had. Family has each other's backs. I'm going."
Jasper smiled and answered "I didn't get to know her very well, but I got kind of used to her. It was quiet without her. In."
Emmett smiled and said "No shit, I'm in. As far as I can tell, Eddie gave up his rights to make decisions related to Bella-Bear a long time ago."
They all looked to Rosalie, who rolled her eyes before saying "It was getting boring around here anyway. I'm in, but one question. How are we going to find her?"
Alice smiled before saying "I saw that woman in London. From what I saw in the vision, she seems to follow Bella wherever she goes. London is our best bet. We can buy plane tickets and lose Carlisle in the terminal. I have a feeling that he's going to South America for Edward. It'll be perfect."
3rd Person POV: Present
Bella groaned in her sleep. Several guards looked to her before shrugging and resuming their duties. If they had stayed there for a few seconds, they would've heard her whispering "Wait! He's got a- Daniel!"
Okay, I really hope you guys like this. Plz review. I hope to see you guys soon. I'm going to take a small break after I get done with Whispers in the Black.
P.S.- for those of you who haven't noticed, it's kind of evident that Bella is not human. I will reveal what she is in the next chapter. If our guys can figure out, well... good for you.
Before I go, I just want to say Merry Christmas to you all and Happy New Year! Can't wait to see you guys again!
