Chapter 10
Disclaimer: I own pretty much everything…
A/N: Thanks everyone for all your comments, that what motivated my lazy butt to type this chapter.
Egypt awoke in an unknown bed, in an unknown room, in an unknown house. Actually, it took her a moment to even remember who she was. Everything that had happened rushed back to one full blast, making her head hurt. She groaned and massaged her temples.
"She's awake!" She heard someone yell from behind her.
Jake and Lauren came scurrying in questions popping out of their mouths every five seconds. Egypt groaned again.
Nikki came in and shooed the two out.
"She needs rest! And you two asking her millions of questions all at once isn't going to help anything." They complained but didn't protest.
Nikki came over and felt Egypt's forehead, "You got a little fever hun." She said kindly, "But otherwise I think that's all."
Egypt looked at her and frowned, "I think I'm…" She threw up, just missing Nikki's feet.
"Thank you for directing it in a different direction." Nikki laughed.
"Sorry." Egypt tried to hold the tears back because she knew if she started, she probably wouldn't be able to stop. Nikki must have noticed the look on Egypt's face because she sat down on the bed, carefully stepping over the reeking puke.
"There, there. What's wrong?"
"What he's done, what he's felt, what he thinks! I never thought…what happened?"
"We aren't exactly sure either. We were hoping you could answer that." Jake said as he and Lauren stuck their heads in the room."
"You two need to leave! She needs,"
"It's alright Nikki, I'll be ok." Egypt gestured for the two to come in and sit down. Nikki sighed and busied herself by cleaning up the puke.
"So how did you do it? How did you beat a vampire, especially Triste, at mind battle? How did you rip his mind's "wall" down? How did you keep yours up?" Lauren asked excitedly.
"Whoa boy, one question at a time." Egypt laughed which started a coughing fit.
"Ok, question one. How did you keep yours up?" Jake asked calmly.
"I don't know. I guess I just concentrated on my voice and what was happening inside my mind rather than my surroundings.
"Question two, how did you rip his down?" Lauren asked.
"I suppose since he was in my mind, I was in his. So I just pictured his "wall" and ripped it down."
"But I don't get it. Was it hard holding up your "wall"? And I know it's hard for me and I'm a demon!" Lauren asked, confused.
"Actually, it was REALLY easy holding up my "wall". I was holding it up by my finger."
"Does that mean I didn't buy a human?" Nikki asked, entering the room.
"I don't know." Jake said, totally stumped.
"Lauren, you can find out, can't you?" Egypt asked.
"I can try. Usually it works but if you can keep up your wall I might not be able to read you even though that's not how I find out my information."
"When she feels better, now everybody out." Nikki ordered, shooing everyone out.
A/N: That's my next chapter everyone! Hopefully I'll be able to add more chapters because I'm on vacation…that and I have no life. Comment please!
