Chapter X:
.
Diana looked confused. Damn! Luna! Her name is L-U-N-A! But she resembled her so much that I confuse them both. Especially that she herself looked like a goddess. Sophia knew the moment we entered what I was feeling. And all emotions and thoughts were with Luna.
Why does she affect me so? She is a strong woman that will not take no for an answer. That suits me fine.
She was surprised to say the least to see a Sphinx. This coming from a girl who believes in magic. She looked like she had never seen a Sphinx before.
In any case, she looked cute surprised. But I do not have time to dwell in that right now. I need to focus to the task at hand.
"Sophia, I have a problem," I told my old friend. Sophia looked at Luna with extreme mirth.
"Is she a little to much for you to handle?" she asked. All my blood had flowed into my face. I have forgotten how blunt she could be at times.
"She is NOT my problem," I stressed.
"Not yet," she smiled. I could see Luna blush from the corner of my eye. But suddenly, Sophia's face became serious. Thank God! "You have gotten her pregnant?"
What the? I turned to face Luna who was not blushing profusely in embarrassment. Not a good impression from my part facing her with the most tactless being in the world.
"Will you stop that?" I pleaded. "We just met," I added in a murmur. Sophia smiled and walked towards me. Sophia, on all fours, was a head taller than me. But that was not why she made me nervous. It's not that she was dangerous, well……… maybe she was. She IS the most feared creature in these parts. One wrong answer to her riddles……… you don't want to know.
And it's not that she was more powerful than I am. A tickle fight will fix that.
It's the lustful look she has in her eyes whenever she thought I was not looking. The look of hunger and passion and lust. She craves for something and she will get it one way or the other.
Fortunately our friendship was too precious and she kept to herself. Mostly. However, she will constantly tease me when she got the chance.
Now you are wondering how could a large cat-woman seduce a human being. Believe me, she has her ways. And one of them is changing her feline body into a luscious female vixen. She retains most of her characteristics such as her angelic wings and her short fur that lightly covered her body and her tail.
It's enough to drive a sane man crazy!
Note: I am already threading the line of insanity.
"Sophia? Will you help us?" I asked politely. Smiling, the Sphinx, or should I say minx? As I was saying, she walked towards one of the rooms of the cabin and we were forced to wait. When she walked out, she was wearing tight fitting denims, a white long sleeved shirt, white gloves and she was holding a red jacket. Her wings, as she had shown me before, were tucked neatly in her shirt.
"I gather that is a yes," the room temperature suddenly dropped as I head Dia……… Luna's voice. There was contempt and disapproval in her voice as well as poison.
Was she mad at me? As I ponder into this, I saw Sophia walking closer in a sexy manner to Dia……… Luna. Damn! I kept forgetting that. Oh no, this will not be good. Luna, there, I said it, was glaring at Sophia.
"You will have to fight to keep him, my dear," Sophia said in a calm voice.
"Who says I want to fight for him?" Luna said as she placed her hands on her waist. I have to do something before a catfight will break out between the two. (Sophia's got an advantage if it came to that.)
"Ladies, we do not have time for this," I said as I rubbed my temples. "We need to get the books of the dead before the other side finds them." Both ladies looked at me in confusion.
"All of them?" Sophia asked incredulously. Gravely, I nodded. "What for?" she asked.
"The Eyes of Anubis were stolen," I told her. "We need to get all three together. Immediately!"
"What's so special about them?" Luna asked.
"They need the incantations to revive whoever they intend to revive," I said.
"But why three books?" Luna asked.
"To prevent anyone from using it against them," Sophia said. "Illogical if you asked me."
"Illogical?" Luna was confused.
"It is way too easy to revive a person but the Dark are paranoid," Sophia explained to her.
"Paranoid?"
"Some spells are separated into the three books so that the people wanting to destroy them will have a hard time because the counter spells are also separated," Sophia said as she wore her jacket. "Never in the history of man was the three books ever joined. Not even in its creation."
"How is it illogical?" Luna asked once again.
"They have to bring the three books together to summon a great evil to destroy the land," I said.
"Fortunately, the three factions who owned the books were distrustful to one another and kept well away from each other," Sophia said as she packed a knapsack with books and scrolls. Strangely, she was packing more than the intended volume of the bag but it seemed like she could put her whole house in it.
"A shrinking charm," Luna explained. I only smirked. "So? Where are the books?" I kept quiet. These surroundings are not ideal for conversation. We need to get back to my loft and figure it out.
This will not be smooth, and I am not thinking about our so called 'quest.' Luna was already starting to hate Sophia while the cat-woman tried desperately to egg her on. Actually, she was egging her on without even trying.
"Let's go," I told them and went for the door. Sophia cleared her throat. As I turned to face her she held in her hands a miniature model of Venus in her hands. I looked at it curiously and she smiled.
"It's a port key," Sophia said.
"Not those bloody things again," I said in distaste. Truth be told, I was getting nauseous traveling that way. It was like some parts of my guts were left at our point of departure.
"Where does it lead?" Luna asked.
"To your home," Sophia said with a wicked smiled.
"You told me that my home was safe from such invasions," my eyelids narrowed and was only seeing her through my slits. Sighing, she smirked.
"It leads to the basement of the museum," Sophia told me. I looked at her incredulously. She had a way to spy on me and she didn't even tell me she was there.
In some ways, I felt sorry for her. She was the only one of her kind and she felt lonely. Sometimes I always wondered how was it like for her to live with me in my spacious loft.
"Very well then," I gently took Luna's and with my left and held Sophia's hand with my right. I took both hands and poised them above the statue. Looking at both ladies' eyes, I took a deep breath.
"Say when," I said softly.
"Now," Sophia gave the signal gently like the breeze of the wind. With their hands in mine, I touched the statue and prepared myself.
A familiar tug in the navel told me it was beginning.
I really hated traveling this way.

End of 10.

A/n: I'm sorry for the confusion but all will be cleared in the following chapters.
My Lady, please do not attempt to jump into a river. Even if you do, I will jump in after you and get you ashore. As such, I will try to prevent you in doing so. Do not worry. I do not intend for a crossover but certain facts in the movie will be used in reference.
Thank you for understanding, my Lady.
