Chapter 10
Carter's POV.
As I took the stone and turned I saw two stone guards standing between me and the exit. But they had turned out to be the least of my problems. After I had ha-died the guards I turned towards the exit, only to find that the exit was starting to close. Sand was forming around the gateway and covering. I summoned the power of Horus, ran and slammed at the wall. Miraculously, me, the great carter Kane, was having a bit of luck was my first thought as I stepped outside. But I ended up hitting myself with a bucket of bananas for thinking that so fast. As Setne had said a black doorway was standing tall in the middle of the river. But that wasn't what scared me.
"Honestly, my luck can't be so bad." I said to myself as I drew my sword from duat and ran forward to face the thousands of monsters standing in front of the portal…..
Sadie's POV.
I was standing in darkness. Images flashed before me. Carter in his combat avatar, fighting hordes of monsters. But as I saw I knew he was fighting a losing battle. He was, even in his combat avatar, outnumbered a hundred to one.
I wanted to reach out to him help him. But I stood transfixed unable to do anything. As I watched the image changed. I saw Walt. He was kneeling in a stone altar. His hands were covering his ears. He was screaming. I looked at him closely and saw what he saw. He was battling his deepest fears. He saw me dead on the floor. He saw his family killed he saw himself, a single person facing the embodiment of chaos itself….
And then I saw my own fears. I saw Carter, Walt, Felix…..everyone I love die. I saw my own memory of one thing which I had not told anybody else. I saw apophis make a deal with me join me and I will let the ones you love live he screamed. I saw my deepest fears come alive before me. All the choices in life came back to me
"CHOOSE"voices screamed…
Setne sat with a smirk as he toyed with Sadie's mind.
"This is so much fun…." He laughed to himself
Author's note: hey guys as promised I updated the chapter in almost three hours. So, you might think these chapters were unimportant but the chapter 9 has an important plot point which will come into play later. And in this chapter I wanted to convey Sadie facing her fears (and partly because I am not a sexist and I respect girls) and as a sneak peak of the next chap in Walt's POV. So hope you like it and please review questions are welcome I still don't get what a flame is so if someone would explain it to me I would be grateful. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnddd dddddddd HAPPY READING!
For those of you who don't know who a sexist is : a sexist is a person who judges people on the basis of sex, like saying a boy can do things better than a girl. (On that point I disagree. I think that both boys and girls have an equal capacity to do things. And I am a guy. So to all you guys out there. And girls too, please don't be sexists, peace!)
