A hero among us

It had only been seconds since Blinkey and I had arrived at the palace wheezing, ok so I'm unhealthy so what! Seeing the guards dozing in their positions, we both knew that the massacre was in progress, I only hoped that we were in time to save them, but then again we could be too late to save them.

"Psssst if you want to save your precious prince we better hurry." Whispered the imp quietly. I nodded in agreement and followed him towards the main hall. He motioned me to place my ear onto the door, I listened hearing the voices inside, definitely in there, and I'll wait when it's the right moment.

"Brankistu if you would be so kind." I heard, this is it, this is the moment. The doors flew open and I pounced on the 'monster' as he was just about to kill the Pharaoh. He looked up at me with full surprise on his face, "Bet you weren't expecting this were you?" I asked him threatingly. He continued to stare up at me in surprise.

"Djinni, you have meddled once and for all prepare for my rath!" Shouted a very overly annoyed Anun. I turned to look up at him, but did not release my pressure on the mummy.

"And that'ssssssssssss bad?" I asked him. He clenched his fists in fury and charged straight at me. Luckily Blinkey jumped on him before he could knock me off his mummy, and started scratching and biting him all over.

"Get off you traitor." He yelled but Blinkey did not cease. It gave me time to glance quickly at the family, they were all unscathed.

"Get out of here you idiots." I ordered them, with the pharaoh pushing his small family to safety I noticed Ptomley give a grateful look.

Goodbye my friend. Now to deal with these problems, as I turned back to watch Anun throw Blinkey through the now open doors of the hall.

"Now to deal with you, Brankistu once he is busy with me, you go and kill the pharaoh and his son." He ordered the mummy who was still underneath me.

"No he wont because you'll both be dead before he can get up and carry out your sick orders." I replied venomously.

And with one swift motion I muttered a few words under my breath and Brankistu and his soul was no more. I turned to Anun who was staring in shock, "bet you thought I couldn't have beaten your lovely monster then?"

He lunged at me and we fought.


I watched as Bartimeaus told us to go and run, he is a very good friend. Friend? We hardly knew each other. But all he had done for me was the act of friendship, I will honour him forever. I turned to look at my mother and father both were hugging, ewwww.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" I heard a small voice scream. I turned around quickly thinking that it was Bartimeaus but was startled to be hit and knocked on the ground by a small imp.

"Are you ok?" I asked him.

He nodded and mumbled an apology, I glanced up to find both my parents looking at me with concern, "I'm ok." I reassured them.

"Where's Bartimeaus?" I asked the imp.

"He's still inside, oh Prince."

No! He could need help. But before I could rush off to help my friend my father dragged me away, "come, we must get help." He growled. We followed my father to the guard's house hoping we would find UN drugged guards.


Anun sent a powerful attack towards me, but I easily sent a powerful canter spell "is that the best you can do?" I asked him. He growled in fury, the advisor was a mess; blood everywhere, not my blood. He picked up what looked like silver, it was silver; my enemy, my only weakness, he ran towards me and pounced, whilst placing the silver object on my neck, it burnt oh god it burnt. The sphinx cried out in pain, it was so painful. And sunk it's teeth in the advisor's neck to hopefully stop the pain.

I felt his body go limb and the pain decrease; I pushed him of me to find that he was motionless, dead. Finally that creep was dead. I heard shouting and turned around quickly to come face to face with Ptomley, his parents, Blinkey, some guards and the priests.

"Hello." I said cheerfully to them, they were all gaping like idiots.

"Y-y-y-you won, you killed him." Ptomley said in utter shock.

"State the obvious, what did you expect? It comes with the job protecting you lot." I replied. He laughed and came over towards me.

To my great surprise he hugged me, "thank you!" He said simply. I was frozen, djinni never show their emotions (if they have any that is) to anyone, but I hugged him back all the same.

The pharaoh came over to us and bent down to our level, "thank you, you are a hero."

A hero, wow!

"Come let's have a feast in honour of Bartimeaus." And we all left the room.

Yes a feast in my honour, but I suddenly remembered that since the danger was over I would have to leave Egypt and my new friend.

I hoped you liked this chapter. Thank god that Bartimeaus arrived just in time… any way this is not the last chapter. So don't think it is…and I'm sorry but I didn't know whether or not Bartimeaus would show loyalty or not towards some human but I just made it as though he did….please don't flame me!
