Disclaimer: I do not own anything, simply borrowed some things.
So, to be honest I was in no mood to even work on this chapter, at least not today. But, I received a review from LuckyDucky20 that brightened my mood. Also, I have this song stuck in my head, so I am using it as inspiration. The song is called, "Make Me Wanna Die" by The Pretty Reckless….odd inspiration I know! Everyone should youtube that song. =]
Chapter 10
John paced back and forth, deep in thought. He needed to find a way to convince Dana to stay. They could rule Egypt; their faces would be featured on columns and vases. The images of Ra and Bastet would be altered, and Egypt would remain a powerful place. It wouldn't fall under the Romans. They would defeat them. Entire history books would change. But he knew getting her to agree would take some charm and maybe a threat.
Scully sat on her balcony, the wind twirling her hair, creating the illusion of fire against the white glow of the moon. Her skeptical blue eyes swollen with tears. All she could do was think about Mulder. Silently she cursed him, why did he have to be the way he was, why did he have to make her love him. Her heart burned for him, yet only she could feel the flames as they tore away her wall. If anything happened to him here, she would blame herself. The x-files would be lost, Samantha would be forgotten. The world just wouldn't be the same without Fox Mulder and his charming smile. Scully closed her eyes, she had to be strong. She put on her work face, the ice queen wouldn't let John in, and the ice queen was her savior. Wiping the tears from her face she took a deep breath. She had a few hours before they were to eat so she lay on her bed and closed her eyes.
Scully could feel the thunder as it boomed overhead. The lightning flashed, her eyes grew wide. The darkness crept closer, calling her name. A lullaby from the devils mouth. The lightning flashed again. She could see him. Standing alone, his eyes locked on her. A black wind rose from the ground, pushing her towards him. She could see the anguish etched in his face.
Clouds began to roll; a swift rain came down like bullets. He never moved. The lightning flashed again, he was gone. She twisted around, he was behind her. His breath fanning over her face. She could hear the beating of his heart, fast. Taking a step back she searched for someone else. The room began to spin, every shadow collided together the suddenly stopped. He was there, standing under the light of the moon. How could she get to him? The moment she moved she knew John would stop her. He would never let her reach Mulder. She turned and looked at him.
"I can see in your eyes, everything in your eyes, you make me wanna die."
He smiled at her, then his face went blank, "I will never be good enough for you, everything you love will burn up in the light."
Scully twisted as Mulder let out on agonizing scream. He was chained to the ground; the light was burning his flesh, slowly, painfully. His eyes went black but before his final breath he called to Scully.
"I will die for you my love; we'll burn up in the light."
John looked at Scully. "I make you wanna die."
She stared into his black eyes. She could feel her skin burning as John backed away.
"You had an opportunity my love; you could have belonged to the night with me, now you shall burn in the light."
She screamed as her entire body was engulfed.
Scully bolted upright in the bed. She was shaking, she felt bile rise up in her throat. The dreams felt so real, and they scared her, but it all began to make since. Even before she got her, the dream on the plane, deep in her mind she knew John shouldn't be trusted. He would kill Mulder so he could have her, and then kill her when she still doesn't want him. She knew that tonight her dreams would become reality. She slipped off the bed and walked back out to the balcony, collecting her thoughts before she went to dinner.
Candles and incents littered the halls of the palace, a mix of vanilla and orchids.
Mulder was hungry, and tired. Sneaking around the palace was pretty easy for him, but he could smell the food, he knew Scully would be where the food was. Sitting next to John, God and Goddess side by side. He pushed the thought out of his mind. Just thinking about it made him want to light a match and throw it on a gasoline covered John.
Scully sat next to John, eating slowly. All she wanted to do was punch John in the face and escape with Mulder. She took a sip of her water. John and the Pharaoh continued to talk, about battle and staying ahead of his enemy. John wanted to change the course of history. And she wasn't going to help him. A few hours later dinner was finished and John had excused them from the table. He led her through the halls, her arm clutched in his. He pulled her into a room.
"The Pharaoh has sentenced Mulder to die. If we leave, he will be executed. If we stay we can free him."
"I am not going to stay, and I will not leave Mulder to die. "
John looked at her. "You don't know how to get back."
She narrowed her eyes at him. You're going to tell me."
John smiled, "I think not."
Scully took a step closer to him, "We are not meant to be here John. "
"I am staying, and so are you. We will rule Egypt hand in hand."
"No."
John shoved Scully up against the wall, before she could react he had a chain looked around both of her hands. "We are staying."
Scully stared at him, "No."
John put his face right in front of Scully's, "First I kill your partner, and then you will stand by my side and rule with me."
Scully said nothing.
John brought his lips to Scully's and kissed her. "I had almost forgotten what you tasted like."
"Get away from her. "
Scully's head snapped to the side. "Mulder."
John moved back, he reached behind his back and came back with a gun. "You always bring a weapon."
Scully looked at Mulder. He knew she had her gun when they were pulled into the vortex.
Mulder smiled and pulled Scully's from behind him as well.
John stepped a little bit close to Mulder, gun pointed at his heart.
Scully flashed back to the plane dream. She pulled herself off the ground with the chains and kicked the gun from John's hands.
Mulder jumped forward tackling John. "Take us back."
"NO!"
John shoved Mulder off him; he searched for the gun but couldn't see it. Mulder still had his in his hand.
John held his hands up. "Ok you win."
Mulder held the gun on John as he walked to Scully and undid her chains. He took his eyes off John for a second and John was on top of him. They both wrestled for the gun. Mulder threw it to the side of the room and pinned down John. "How do we leave?"
"By the moon, 3 stars follow the horizon."
Mulder looked at him, "What?"
John rolled shoving Mulder off and running for the gun. He picked it up and pointed it at Mulder.
"She is mine. "
The Pharaoh stood at the doorway, eyes wide. He watched as Scully came up from behind John a spear in her hand. She shoved the spear through his back and out his front. "I am not yours."
John fell to his knees, the gun clattered to the ground. Blood dripped from his wound. He fell over, dead.
Mulder looked up at Scully, "I hope you understood his riddle and know how to get home."
The next chapter will be the last! Hope you guys are enjoying it! Thanks again for all the reviews and story alerts! =]
