Chapter 12: The Last Piece Comes with Death

When I woke up, I was sweating and scared. I was alone and I was in a dark room, till Eddie came in and turned on the light saying that it was almost noon and Fabian was at the Library helping Jasper organize. I asked, "Why does the library need to be organized?"

"Someone broke in last night and tried to steal something."

"Who would want to steal a book?"

"It was the book that was the piece was in, Robert, who ever tried to steal it must know."

Then Trudy came saying, "Robert your grandma is there to and says that she has something important to tell you."

When I went into the living room, my grandma was talking with Victor about something. As she saw me, she tried to get up but she was too weak which is weird for her because she was to strong headed to give up on something like that. She began to tell me all about her life her before she was forced to leave for safe reasons, she said, "When my brother, Rufus, went crazy with his powers I left to prevent the Ankh from forming in the wrong hands."

"That was how you went to America and meet Granddad."

"Yes, but now you must form the Ankh or he will rise and chaos will rain down on the earth and life will end."

"How do I form the Ankh?"

"Noon on the middle day. That is when the Ankh can be formed."

"What is I can't."

"You can because you no matter how small are a Zeno."

"Yes, grandma."

That was when I saw Ameris, she said, "Anubis is back to his old self and promises to help fight that Snake with the Chosen One in the battle."

"Robert, Robert introduce me to your ghost friend here."

"Sorry, grand this is Ameris, Anubis' lover and the first Chosen One."

"Good to meet you priestess."

"As you old Seer, now if you will come with me."

"Sorry but I will go but on my own terms is the understood?"

"Of course but you will come with me but Ra's rest."

The rest of the day went but fine if you minus the fact that my grandma was going to pass at sunset. I introduced her to Fabian and she said that she was proud that I found my love, but I may have to give him up if it meant peace. I understood completely.

At a few hours before sunset my grand was so weak that Trudy called an ambulance to take her to a hospital but before she went she gave me her necklace that was an amber stone that was cut to look like an orange tear drop.

That night I was on the phone with her just listening to her breath calmly which she never would have before. Then I went to sleep and fell into a dream less sleep in Fabian's arms.

The next day, Trudy woke me up and told me that my grandma passed away around midnight. So Ra's rest was midnight not sunset. She said, "I will give you a few minutes to get ready for her will reading at nine, if you want I am sheer that Victor and Mr. Sweet will let you take one other student. I am so sorry."

When we went to the lawyer, all he said is that all she left me was everything and that no one that was part of the family was alive and that I was the last of two every rich families, my mom's and my dad's.

After that I went to the school and planned that I would wait till Wednesday to form the Ankh and everything would be good then.

Monday passed by easily, but Tuesday was boring because there were test in every class and I finished on them all, so Fabian and I went to the library to talk about the plan for when I would reform the Ankh and what the game plan was if the Shadow came before Wednesday. We would hold him back till was noon then I would make the Ankh.

When it was lights out, I fell asleep and in my dreams:

Ameris was running from a red lake that in the center there was a corpse of a giant red snake that was infinite in size it seemed. When Ameris saw me she said that this was what was coming if Ra was not wakened up and that only him and me could stop it.

The dream changed and I was above the snake's head when the shadow looking more solid than ever, came and said, "When I find a way in I will rain down on Geb and the end will come."

And he entered the forehead of the snake and the eyes turned from milky white to a milky pink color…
