-Chapter 6-
She slowly opens her eyes and she sees that she is laying on sand. The sky is cloudy and grey as if it were going to rain. When she attempts to stand up, she is ambushed by three men, who's faces she cannot see. She feels her legs kicking against the men and fingernails dragging into the desert sand to no avail. Olivia feels tears coming from her eyes, looking up at the shadows that are dragging her to one of few palm trees she can see. When they come to a stop, Olivia's body starts to run from the scene in front of her when one of the men catches up and grabs her. Her vision starts to clear and she sees that the man that has grabbed her has the millennium symbol tattooed on the right side of his neck. Olivia feels her arms hitting the man carrying her, screaming, "Put me down!Let me go!" in a language that she knows she should not understand but yet clearly understands. "Grab the ropes!" the man carrying her from behind screams, taking punches from this young girl. The man not holding Olivia is trembling as if he does not want to be there, but grabs the ropes from the right side of his bag.
"Please don't do this!"
"That's not what I wanted to say!" she frantically thinks to herself. Olivia lands a kick to the tattooed man's stomach causing him to fall on his knees in pain. Struggling to get up, he finds his footing and decides to teach Olivia a lesson. "I've had enough of this "egibyan" bitch, tie her up!" Confused, Olivia continues to try to kick and fight but then realizes that her legs are no longer moving the way they were. "What the hell is going on!" Olivia tries to scream, but hears no words coming from her mouth. She realizes that her arms were now bound with rope and she feels "rain" coming down her face.
When Olivia wakes up on the cool sandy ground as she feels an unfamiliar pain in her body. Her world becomes blurry and starts to spin as she is trying to figure out what happened. Olivia's bruised eyes gaze down to her body and sees that has no longer has clothes on and the tattooed man is putting his clothes back on. With tears welling in her eyes, she tilts her head to the side and sees the rope man sitting in the corner by himself, with tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry" he mouths to Olivia, but she attempts to sit up which does not go unseen by the tattooed man. He walks over to her and grabs her hair, "Tell us what we want to know and we can end your suffering."
"Never"
Olivia knows those are not her words but realizes that there is nothing she, herself can do in the situation. "What should we do Shaamil?" he says to the final man who has been quiet throughout this entire time. "If we just kill her, then the pharaoh cannot come back and she or her brother cannot gain power. Amahad has already been taken care of, you have had your fun and my brother Shaheen has earned his keep. I see no reason to keep her alive, our job is done and now our new king will be able to take his rightful place as ruler of our world". Turning around to look at Olivia, he says, "I believe that killing is an unjust evil act, especially of a young child. But it is our duty as disciples of our new king to clear his path so that he can purify the world from the damage that your father has caused us".
"Pharaoh?"
Olivia thinks to herself as Shaheen and the tattooed man lift her by both her arms and tie the noose around her neck. "I don't want to die" the voice and Olivia's thoughts say at the same time with blood gushing from her mouth. Catching the rope on the other side of the tree, Shaheen says a soft prayer and proceeds to pull the rope down. She feels her feet rising from the ground and the rope slowly tighten around her neck. Not being able to stomach it, Shaamil turns his head and the tattooed man has his eyes locked solely on her.
"Why is this happening to me?" Olivia thinks before she looks out into the distance and sees a bright light slowly becoming brighter. "I'm not ready to die" she softly thinks before she takes the last bit of her strength and turns away from the light; wanting everything to end.
