"You bitch!" Screeched a voice. There I was on the ground, well, technically Menivia was. The person standing up wore a white/silver glittering dress, her hair was straight and let down, on her head a silver headdress that shimmered in the light.
I walked closer to see who it was. The results shocked me - Lapia.
There was blood on the ground, next to Menivia. "You think you can fool a man's wife?" cried Menivia. "YOU THINK AHKMENRAH ACTUALLY WOULD CHOSE YOU?" she cried, her makeup was smudging, black tears rolling down from her eyes. "What makes you think you're his wife?" said Menivia fighting back, "Oh I know, he picked me over you" said Lapia.
Menivia grunted, and tried to stand up, but she was injured badly.
There was a piece of sharp silver, cutting her stomach...I instantly felt pain there, my knees gave away and I fell to the ground. In a similar position Menivia was in.
"What makes you think you can do this to me?" said Menivia taking the piece of metal out, and throwing it onto the floor, making more blood spread. "There was a ring of fire around Menivia, to protect herself from Lapia.
Lapia jumped back with eyes widened. Objects around them floated, the weapons behind Lapia floated and were pointed to her. "What makes you think you can win me?" questioned the witch, "is it just me? Or that your brain isn't developed enough to know that magical folk are more powerful than people like you?" Menivia said trying to at least kneel. But she fell to the floor again.
I crawled towards Menivia, who was holding her cut with her hand, her black, layered, knee high dress was now covered in blood.
"Lapia!" Cried a voice, "Menivia!" I shot my head up. I saw a hurt, but angry Ahkmenrah.
Menivia groaned and snapped her fingers. The weapons dropped down, and the objects that were floating fell back into their original place.
Menivia was in pain...Pain where she was cut, and pain in her heart.
I screamed. What was this torture. My heart on 'self-destruct' mode, and my stomach burning.
"What?" Menivia snapped, Ahkmenrah shook his head, "Lapia, I would like a word with Menivia" he said, his eyes locked to Menivia's with disappointment.
"What were you thinking" scolded Ahk, clearly he didn't see the pile of blood next to Menivia. "What was I thinking? What was your girlfriend thinking?" Menivia shouted, she tried to stand but she fell to the floor once more.
"It's okay, Menivia...we can get through this..." I said to her. She let out a yell, "this is not the time!" She muttered, "please...this voice in my head! STOP!" she screamed.
I laid on the floor, watching more blood roll down Menivia's hands. She could hear me...
"Via...What's wrong..." said Ahk who was suddenly worried.
"I...I..."
"VIA?"
"Menivia...it's fine...you'll be fine...you'll survive..." I said...then I blacked out.
I was in the darkness, until a voice called out.
"I see you have recovered" said Kahmunrah.
Menivia's pupil in her eyes were red like fire. "Are you happy now?" She gritted through her teeth. "Not quite" said Kahmunrah cheerfully.
"I'm still not pharaoh and-"
"And you never will be" said Menivia. "What?" Questioned Kahmunrah.
Menivia snapped her fingers and a scroll appeared on her hand. "Read it" she said handing the scroll to Kahmunrah.
The more Kahmunrah read, more anger and horror were displayed on his face.
"YOU KNEW ALL THIS TIME AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME?" he screamed, "I only agreed to the deal, because your plan obviously had a flaw" she said pointing to the scroll.
Kamunrah threw the scroll onto the fire. Menivia rushed to save the scroll, but her body flew back and hit the wall behind her.
"Hah! Magic proof! Thank you for the wand, Menivia" said Kahmunrah stroking the wand. Menivia stood up, she tried everything she could to save the scroll - extinguish the fire, try to kill Kah, use her powers to break the force field... But none worked.
"Kah...hasn't anyone told you...never mess with a witch," started Menivia, "it may just be the last thing you do"
Suddenly my vision started spinning - again.
There were so many voices in my head. I could hear them all talking at once like how Menivia could. The sound of soldiers yell, the sound of a scream in fear, a screech in pain, the sound of children laughing, Kahmunrah's voice, Ahkmenrah's voice, Larry's voice, Tilly's voice, Nick's voice, followed by Sacagawea and Teddy's.
Everything was just too fast!
My vision blurred. The last thing I saw was Ahkmenrah's sandals...Then, a flash of green, followed by gold smoke.
Darkness then surrounded me...I felt like was falling, or perhaps sinking...
I opened my eyes. Blinked a couple of times. I was in Ahkmenrah's arms.
"Ahk!" I cried, I threw my arms around him...but instead...I went through him.
I was on the ground. A lifeless looking person was laying in Ahk's arms. I stood up and walked over to them.
I let out a gasp. I was there. I spun around and saw Tilly crying. Larry, Amelia, Sacagawea, Lancelot and Teddy were together discussing.
Amelia pacing back and forth, Sacagawea chanting something under her breath. Lancelot was talking to Teddy, as Larry listened.
Normally Larry would do all the talking, but by the looks of things...he was at his wits end.
I then understood.
I died.
There's no way of bringing me back now.
From Menivia's memories...one cannot bring another back to life.
Then Amelia pointed her finger at Ahk and 'I'. "The wisps are gone!" Said Lancelot, "that's something I've never seen" he added. Sacagawea stopped chanting and rushed towards 'me'.
"She's alive" she said after examining 'me'. "Yes...she is" said Ahk in a sad tone, "alive in her memories..."
AHKMENRAH's POV
I saw it all. It was her that was the masked maiden. It was her
that saved the innocents. It was her that saved MY life countless times. It was her that tried to talk Kah out of murder. It was her that silently watched over me. It was her who tried stopped Kahmunrah. It was her that killed me, but she saved the world...
I read many books on my life, written by professors. Every book had said that Kah's evil plans were always stopped by a mysterious force.
Menivia...
She stopped him...
I felt a tear roll down my cheek. And landed on Meg's throat.
"Just because you feel that life's not fair, it doesn't mean that you just have to sit and bare it" said a voice. Meg's voice.
"You are brave, and...and perhaps it's really time to let go" said Meg's voice.
It felt like she was beside me, holding my hand.
And I missed her doing that...No matter what, I will refuse to believe that she left.
TILLY's POV
My heart was crushed...Meg? WHY MEG? SHE'S ONLY 17! WHAT IS GOING ON...
What should I do...
My heart was racing, but at the same time crushed. My stomach feels like it had been shot. My brain like an engine, thinking and thinking. I could barely breathe.
What should I say to our parents? That Meg just dropped dead?
NO SHE'S NOT DEAD!
GOD SHUT UP, TILLY!
Sacagawea just confirmed that she wasn't dead. She's still here. Perhaps in some kind of coma.
Why didn't we take her to the hospital? Wait no...Ahk said that to keep her alive was...Tablet...
The good thing was the gold wisps were gone.
Aka. Chance of her waking.
But...why isn't she awake yet?
