Chapter 6: The Gift of Geb Part 1
Due to the constant change of weather, did Kelda and Amanda packed up, and left Yosemite park for home. Unknown to the latter, her daughter's bodyguards were following them, almost immediately at the sphinx did the mummies decided to rest, and went to recharge in their sarcophagi. Later in her bedroom, Kelda was learning about the coming eclipse, she frowned knowing that Ja-kal and the others, weren't gonna let her leave their sight so easily, and true to her thoughts were said plans being made at the sphinx.
"When is the Apophis coming exactly?" Ja-kal asked
"According to the little man in the magic box. This coming wednesday at noon Ja-kal." Nefer-tina said
"Since we don't know what Scarab's plot gonna be, it will be best for Rapses to have all her lessons inside the sphinx." Armon suggested
"Armon the princess always has her lessons inside the sphinx, or have you forgotten?" Rath stated
"Not always as I sometimes take Kelda outside to spar, in one of the fields across the sphinx, and so does Ja-kal." Armon explained "Didn't you have outdoor lessons planned Ja-kal?" he wondered
"I was planning on teaching Kelda how to use a boomerang, that lesson was going to be held outside, but in view this lesson will be held inside, and on that note we still have the securities on her home and school to make." Ja-kal said
*Ja-kal's pov*
The security for both Kelda's home and school, took longer than expected, due to the fact that we needed to be discreet at protecting our pharaoh, and more so dangerous if Scarab discovered her modern identity. The moment our guard dropped, Kelda would be murdered, like prince Rapses was, and immortality would be Scarab's. The next day upon arrival, was the princess fully made aware, of the security plans, and the annoyance was clear on Kelda's face.
"Do you understand?" I said
"Yes Ja-kal I understand *sigh*. You guys will escort me to school, to the sphinx, back to my home , and all outdoor lessons are cancelled." Kelda grumbled "This bites... damn that Scarab." she continued
*Kelda's pov*
This is so NOT fair, I understand that it's to keep me safe, but all in all... this totally bites, and I was to be guarded at all times. According to the guys, that meant no going to the movies, or even the mall without them, and even that is basically forbidden. It was like they were grounding me, needless to say that, how I personally felt, could be clearly seen on my face, and I would have to endure it for the next couple of days. Because of the eclipse, Scarab would try something to get me, little did I know who it was, and I never admit it but these guys are my family. Family now that's a foreign word to me, at times I forgot what it actually meant, given I come from a broken somewhat-abusive home, my parents divorced when I was really small, and I haven't had any contact with my dad for seven years. He never bothered to call, write any letters to me, or sent any emails whatsoever, and the last time I saw him was when I was five. Back when I was ten, my mother barely acknowledged me, for quite a few months, and it was because of that incident.
*A few minutes later*
Nefer-tina couldn't help but agree, with Kelda who was giggling, over Rath and Armon's argument, at what subject to teach her first, and Ja-kal stood by the entrance. The latter making certain that Kelda didn't leave the sphinx, about an hour later did the duo realized their charge was missing, and found her checking out the newest vehicle. The Nileator under the watchful eyes of her guardians, giving a whistle of appreciation, Rath couldn't help but smile, and promised to show her how to drive it in the coming days. Armon than took Kelda for her self-defense lessons, followed that was magic, and from there Nefer-tina took charge with mechanics.
*Kelda's pov*
Once my lessons were done for the day, we spent the rest of the time chilling, until it was time for me to go home, and despite their overprotectiveness I could easily walk home. That was the plan, however it didn't work out, not in the slightest, that was due to a mummified hand reaching out, and pulling on my ear rather hard...
"Ow! Ja-kal kindly let go of my ear." I said
"Where do you think your going?" Ja-kal demanded
"Home of course and it's only a couple of blocks away." I explained
"A couple of blocks to which Scarab can easily get you. We all will escort you home." Ja-kal scolded
Kelda merely rolled her eyes, as she headed to the garage, with Ja-kal following closely behind, and soon the Hot-Ra could be seen racing through the streets. In no time at all, was Kelda at her house, and given explicit instructions to remain inside for the rest of the night. Before they left the mummies told her, that tomorrow they would be picking her up, to take her to school, and upon entering her home did Kelda pray that the next few days go by quickly.
