Out of Egypt Chapter Fifteen.


AN: A little chapter confusion, but now it is all good, and another chapter to boot! There will hopefully be another update soon. Thanks to all who review! Keep them coming =)

Enjoy!

Inyotef held out a small loaf of bread and a hunk of yellow cheese wrapped in a sandy cloth. Dierdre made a face, and sighed. Thinking of all the glorious things she could be eating back at campus. She'd walk back if it meant eating something more substantial.

"Is this what you wish to eat?" Inyotef asked awkwardly.

"It's not like we have much of a choice," Frances replied, Inyotef looked at her for a moment before it clicked. He thrust the food into Dierdre's hands and she sighed again.

"My kingdom…" Dierdre began, but then she stopped. It was no use making herself depressed. And by the look Frances was giving her—no use to make her depressed either.

Inyotef handed Frankie a leather jug, "to drink."

"Thanks for the kind hos—" Frankie began, Dierdre drove her elbow into Frankie's gut. Frances smiled thinly, "Thanks," she said spreading her lips in a toothy grin. Frances sighed and turned around, she jumped. Den was standing there, rifle in hand. "Is that really necessary?" Frances shifted her pack on her back. Den was holding a pile of blankets. Frankie walked over and he set down his gun, he spread out a small leather blanket and gave the other one to Frankie, "thank you."

"Like this," Den explained, rolling out the sleeping blanket. He picked up his weapon and moved to another sleeping blanket a few feet away from Frankie's.

"One for each of us." Dierdre said, handing Frankie a thin blanket and a simple cloak, to cover her head.

Dierdre sat down on her sleeping blanket, "suddenly," she said, "I wish I was back in my cot." She lay down and shifted, trying to get comfortable.

Frankie lay down on her sleeping mat and tried to close her eyes, but Dierdre was making so much noise it was near impossible.

This is going to be one long night. Frankie thought sarcastically. Turning her back from her friend.

A bit of a short chapter, but now the story can really get rolling! Reviews are quite welcome but no flames please!
