Chapter 4: The trickle of the Nile and the accursed bum...
"I swear that I've been here before..." Evie stated.
"Okay..." Rick said not knowing what else to say.
"Ever since I've been having those dreams this place is all I can think about."
"Then where do we go next?" Rick asked.
"Let me see..." Evie said getting out a piece of paper. "I wrote it all down from my dreams... Through this door..." Evie stated walking through the door. "And to the left." She continued walking to the left. "Pull his lever." She pulled the lever. "Go through the door and wait for the next vision..."
"You dreamed all that?" Rick said confused.
"Yes. It's a good tutorial, don't you think?" She asked proudly.
And there she waited for the next vision which showed her how to open the next door. Behind the door they found a chest, and in that chest they found another chest... and in that chest they found another one...
And finally in that chest....
They found another chest.
Then Evie noticed that the top of the chests said 'Box of Never Ending Chests' and then proceeded to open the chest next to this one because she assumed that the first chest(s) was put their to fool grave robbers like themselves...
And inside this chest they found...
"The tooth of the Scorpion King!" Evie said holding up the golden tooth.
"Cool." Rick answered.
Behind them Guy#2 appeared and was just about to shoot them when the ground began to tremble.
"What's going on?" Rick asked alarmed getting out all his guns...
"Oh yes." Evie said not surprised. "It says upon opening this chest you shall drink from the Nile."
"Oh... Shouldn't you have told me that before you opened it?"
"Must have slipped my mind..." Evie said as they both watched the wall crumbled behind them. And out from the hole came a little trickled of water. They both ran for their lives away from the rushing water that came towards them.
Alex meanwhile had sling-shotted Guy #3 in the bum. "OW!" He screamed while rubbing his bum...
"What's wrong?" Guy #1 asked.
"Something just hit me in the bum..." He complained. Before Guy #1 could say anything Guy #3 interrupted, "I bet your gonna say this place is cursed..."
"Quiet!" Guy #1 said. "You don't want to awaken the Gods... And don't steal my line. Your bum is cursed!"
"Why do you get to have the cool lines though?" Guy #3 complained. "All I do is get hit in the bum by some kid with a sling shot!"
"You're cursed, that is why."
"That is your excuse for everything..."
"Because I'm cursed..." He grumbled and then he stopped suddenly. "Did you just say you got hit in the bum by a kid with a sling shot?" He asked hesitantly.
"Yeah. He's right up there." Guy #3 said pointing to Alex's hiding place at the top of a ladder.
"Well why didn't you tell me that in the first place?" Guy #1 said angrily. Then he turned his attention back to the boy. "Curse you!" Guy #1 yelled at Alex and began making his way towards him and up the ladder.
Just then Guy #2 came running through the room saying. "Come on! Flood! Run!" And they both made their way after Guy #2.
Alex was left at the top of a crumbling ladder which Guy #1 had "cursed." and ended up knocking down the pillars of the room in a sort of domino affect. He looked around at the damage he had caused and realized that one pillar was about to make a rather big hole in the wall.
Using his super human strength he managed to keep it from falling any further. All was fine and dandy until Alex realized he had no super human strength and could not stop the pillar from falling. Running out of the way, he watched as the pillar knocked a hole in the wall.
Out popped his mother and father who had been running from the Nile which turned out to be but a trickle of water because of the recent drought...
"Mum? Dads?" Alex said uncertainly. "These three guys came in here and they were trying to kill you and I shot one of them in the arse with a sling shot but then they saw me and were gonna kill me but then they ran away until you came but the pillars just fell by themselves and I didn't mean to knock them down I tried to stop it but I'm just one boy you see and..."
"Alex!?!" Both his parents said getting a head ache. "Now what were you saying?" Rick said getting up.
"I was saying that..." Alex thought for a moment. "I was saying that I can explain everything..."
"I think you just did." Rick said tussling the boys hair. Both of them hadn't heard a thing he said as they were more intent on relaying their near encounter with a trickle of water from the Nile. It's enough to make a person mad from this near death experience!
"I swear that I've been here before..." Evie stated.
"Okay..." Rick said not knowing what else to say.
