Disclaimer: I Do Not Own... What a Tragedy!
As they rode through the desert Alexia couldn't help but notice that Evy had started to glow with excitement. She smiled to herself as Rick noticed too.
Jonathon however was miserable.
"Stinky rotten fleabags!" He kept muttering to himself.
"How come you get to ride the horse? Alexia?"
Alexia laughed as Rick chuckled and Evy rolled her eyes at her brother.
"Because Amour is mine. If you really wanted you could have found a horse." Alexia said with a shrug.
Jonathon just glared at her for a moment before going back to muttering how much he hated camels.
The night wore on and it seemed only Alexia and Rick were still awake. The warden was snoring obnoxiously loud. Alexia just rolled her eyes as Rick kept Evy's camel from wandering off course. She smiled when Rick hushed Evy's camel.
"Going soft are we O'Connell?" she said more to herself than to Rick.
She was distracted from her train of thought as Jonathon awoke from one of the wardens particularily loud snorse and smacked him soundly with the camel crop.
"No more goat soup!" the warden half shouted before quickly falling back asleep. Alexia and Jonathon shared a look and shrugged. At least he was quieter now.
Half way through the mornig the group slowed as Rick glared at the Americans who had finally caught up.
"Good morning my friend." Beni called out to Rick as his eyes wandered over to Alexia. "And to you Alexia."
"Can it Beni!" Alexia growled. "If those eyes of yours wander anymore I'm going to cut them out."
Beni quickly stopped checking out Alexia and gave her a greasy smile.
"What the hell we doing?" Daniels demanded.
Beni said something about being patient as Henderson gave Alexia a flirtatious wink.
"You remember our bet?" he asked. "500 cash bucks for whoever first makes it to the city."
Alexia smirked. Of course she remembered the bet. She's the one who had made it.
"100 of them bucks is yours if you get us there first." Daniels told Beni.
"With pleasure."
Alexia rolled her eyes.
"Wait for it." Rick said his eyes on the horizon.
"Wait for what?" Evy asked as Alexia gave Rick a confused look.
"We're about to be shown the way."
Alexia watched the same area Rick did her jaw dropping in amazement.
The sun seemed to race across the horizon and just for a moment it paused before returning back to its proper place in the sky.
"Why I'll be damned." Daniels said awed.
It took ony a moment for all of them to urge their various mounts into a run.
Rick was at the head of the pack with Beni, while Alexia, Jonathon and Evy were neck in neck.
Alexia frowned as Beni tried hitting Rick with his camel crop but started laughing as Rick pulled him off his camel and dropped him.
"Serves you right." Evy said as she passed Beni just a bit in front of Alexia.
Alexia had no room to change Amour's course as the stallion jumped over Beni with ease. She whooped out a yell as Evy's camel got a burst of speed and raced into Hamunaptra followed by Rick.
"Ha! We won!" Alexia cheered as her and Jonathon entered Hamunaptra next.
AN: Okay so this chapter is kinda boring too. Tell you what I'm gonna go ahead and put up the next chapter as well. Love ya all lots... please review!
