Chapter 2: Discoveries

Nearly a decade has passed since The Princess was found and once again was in high society. The dead Queen's brother took her daughter and moved to a mansion in an unplotable area.

The vast mansion was sold to a young man and his niece. He changed nothing about the mansion. The doors were still bronze with the gold dragon knocker. Instead of pictures of a happy couple on the walls there were pictures of a young girl riding her first horse, sopping wet from one of her uncle's pranks and many others.

The young girl was upstairs tangled within her sheets and blankets. One of her arms were hanging off the bed along with one of her legs. In her other arm was a stuffed animal the size of a cat. Her door slowly opened and a pair of slivery gray eyes peered in.

"Bes?"

The girl just turned over and mumbled something about flying uncles.

Her uncle shook his head. "Bes it is time to wake up."

She just laid there.

"That's it, you leave me no choice." he said as he walked over to the closed window in her room. With a yank he opened the drawn curtains and let light flood into the room. "Ah Bes, welcome back to the world of the living."

Bes hissed like a vampire, and buried her head into her pillow. "Uncle must you wake me at indecent hours?" She muffled through her pillow.

"It's ten, you've slept long enough. Now Up!" He said leaving the room.


She sat up. She rolled out of her bed trying to recall her odd dream she had. There was an odd flying creature in it. She walked to her closet and pulled out a black T-shirt and a pair of jeans.

She walked down stairs to her breakfast on the table with a note

Dear Bes

Something has come up. Be back this afternoon. BEHAVE!!

Love, Uncle

Bes smiled wolfishly. Now was her chance. She ate her breakfast then slipped out the back door. With great speed she ran across the large fields that came with the mansion.

Bes was very tall and lank for her age. She had hair that was of the blackest black that grew past her shoulders and would get slick if she didn't wash it enough. She had naturally light coppery colored skin. Her face had high cheekbones and a slightly aristocratic nose. Her eyebrows arched gracefully over her slightly slanted eyes. The most intriguing feature about her was her eyes. While left was a cold sapphire blue the other was a warm dark jade green with each color turning black as it reached the edge of her iris.

When she was younger she had asked her uncle if her mother had the same eyes. He said no one else had her eyes.

Bes didn't have any siblings or any friends. She never been to school because her uncle homed schooled her his self

She finally stopped at a small stable where it housed a few horses. Bes grabbed a bridle off the wall and walked over to a stall where a golden mare with a cream-colored mane and tail and bright blue eyes.

She slipped the bridle over the mare's head and leapt onto the mare's back. She tapped the mare with her heels and the mare cantered into the woods.

For years she had sneaked into the woods and look for the caves her uncle had always told her about.

Every time she had gotten close to the caves her uncle would catch her and drag her back to the manor.

The mare stopped at the foot of a dead tree and turned her head and stared at Bes with her blue eyes.

"What is it Blue Eyes?" Bes said sliding off her back. Blue Eyes stomped on the ground where something slivers caught her eye.

She picked it up and cleaned it off with her black shirt.

It was a silver bracelet with a gem. It was made of several pieces of wire. On the base was a x an each side of the gem, then wrapped around the gem was pieces of silver wire that curled around and flared out then the ends curled. The gem itself was the size of a large coin. It was a blood red with swirls of black. As she rubbed some of the dirt off the gem it started to hum and glow a brilliant white.

Blue Eyes nudged Bes and nickered nervously.

"What now Blue Eyes?" Bes said turning around the letting her jaw drop.

Behind them was a large dank cave. Bes put the bracelet in her pocket then approached the cave.

Blue Eyes grabbed Bes' shirt and pulled her away from the entrance.

"Alright then you stay out here I will go in." Bes said pulling her shirt away then at the mouth of the cave. She took a step. Then another. And another.

As soon she stepped into the cave, torches along the side lit up illuminating the cave brightly.

Bes smiled gingerly and turned to Blue Eyes. "See nothing to worry about." She said.

She looked down the stone hall and saw some king of altar. "Come on Blue" Bes called after her.

Blue Eyes nickered and stepped into the cave and together they walked down the stone hall.

As they walked down the hall Bes noticed tapestries of unicorns, griffins, dragons, and other creatures she didn't recognized.

Bes was to busy staring at the intriguing tapestries that she didn't watch were she was stepping and tripped over a stick.

"Stupid feet." Bes said as she grabbed the stick and attempted to throw it.

As she lifted the stick an odd feeling crept through her arm and the stick went from being cold to extremely warm.

The stick began to vibrate. Bes tossed the stick in shock into a corner. There it began to thicken and writ. It darkened it a dark green and a blue diamond appeared on its back. Slowly a head appeared with cobalt blue eyes staring at her. It coiled and lifted its head.

"Bessstet." Hissed the large six-foot Egyptian Cobra.

Bes backed against the wall terrified that this snake was talking to her. Blue Eyes charged and attempted to stomp the snake.

The Cobra readied to strike the mare but Bess intervened.

"Blue stop it." Bes said grabbing onto Blue Eye's reins.

She once again turned to the snake. It stared at her with it's head cocked to one side. She locked her eyes onto the Cobra's blue ones. With her eyes still focused on the snake spoke. "Who are you and how did you know my name?"

The snake uncoiled and slithered towards where Bes sat. "I am Setimose and I always have known your family."

(A/N: For Anyone's who seen "Mummies Alive" Setimose sounds like Rath that's the one in the snake armor.)

Bes cocked an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that."

Setimose snickered which sounded like hissing. "Sssimple I was your familiesss' counssselor."

Bes snorted. "Why would my uncle need a talking snake. Oh offence."

Setimose shook his head. "None taken my dear. Bessstet isss it." He said slithering and draped himself over her shoulders. "Now before you get comfortable let me tell you a few thingsss: One I have been asssleep of about five hundred yearsss. Sssso don't push your luck with me. Two I am not any kind of worm sssso don't call me one. And third…"

The sun is setting!" Bes said staring at the darkening sky. "Man my uncle's gonna kill me. We gotta get back home before my he does."

Bes stood up. "Come on Seti lets go!" Be said leaping onto Blue Eye's back and wheeled the mare to the mouth of the cave then broke into a swift gallop through the trees.

* * * * * * *

Khan passed back and forth running his hands through his dark grey hair. His eyes burned with anger. The x-shaped scar on his cheek glistened in the last rays of the sun.

He pulled out a pocket watch and shook his head. That's when he heard the sound of galloping hooves on the ground. Quickly he slipped into the shadows as a lone figure astride a horse rode up to the back door of the manor.

Bes jumped off of Blue Eyes and crept to the back door. Setimose was securely wrapped around her waist. She looked around. "Whew, It looks like we beat him here." Bes said wiping the sweat from her brow.

"Oh, I don't think so my dear." Khan said waling out from the shadows, arms crossed.

"Uh, Hi Uncle." Bes said nervously.

* * * * * * *

"But Uncle!" Bes said crossing her arms.

"NO! How many times do I have to tell you to stay away from those caves? There old and dangerous." Khan said with his hair falling into his eyes.

Bes rolled her eyes. "You have told me and told me not to. Why want to know why." She said staring at him with a menacing glare on her face.

Khan shivered. "You wouldn't understand."

"What wouldn't I understand?" Bes said, with anger rising in her voice.

"You just wouldn't. Now get to your room." He said pointing his fingers to the stairs.

"Fine." She said before stalking up to her room.

*******

Bes locked her door then Setimose fell to the floor with a soft thud. "Cheeky fellow isss he not?" He said curling in front of the roaring fireplace in her room.

Bes collapsed onto her bed. "No he's only like that when he's mad." Bes said pulling at a thin chain out from around her neck.

Suspended from the gold chain was a thick gold ring. On the flattened round face of the ring was a coat of arms bearing two serpent, one black the other silver, wrapped around a sword each with a wand shooting out sparks.

"What'sss that Bessstet?" Setimose said lifting his head from the rug.

"It's nothing, just something I believe belonged to my father." Bes said rolling the ring between her fingers.

"What happened to him?" Setimose said with a tilt of the head.

I don't know. Heck no one knows what happened to him. Now go to sleep." Bes said burying her head under her pillow.

For years Bes wandered whatever to her mother and father. Her Uncle never talked about them. Whenever she brought up the subjects of her parents her uncle would always changed to subject.

She pulled her head out from under the pillow and stared at the nearly full moon. For some reason, every time there was a full moon Bes would fell as though a great power was tingling through her body. One of these days she knew something was going to happen and soon. Before she knew Bes fell into a deep and unnatural sleep with the unusual bracelet sitting on the nightstand, it's stone glowing unnaturally.
