"Hey, you! You shouldn't be here!" Shouted a man that was near the entrance of the pyramid. The man that shoutedat Alex began runing towards him. Alex began running away, but he was to slow. The man grabbed Alex by his arm, and slowly led him towards a building. He glanced up towards the top of the building, and saw someone walking in circles over the roof.

--

"Sir, Sir, Jonathan was telling the truth! There truly is an other medjai here!" Yelled the man that ran away from Ardeth and Nemalie while entering the entrance of the pyramid. Io'Seer turned around to face the man with a suprised look upon his face. He took a quick glance down on the ground where Jonathan sat with his hands tied behind his back.

"There is?" Asked Jonathan, hating the fact he didn't think before he spoke. Well, the sad truth is he never really actually thinks.

"There is? You mean, you lied about medjais coming along with you?" Asked Io'Seer to Jonathan. Jonathan didn't reply, he was in enouth trouble already.

"Yes, there is an other medjai but Ardeth here. She sneaked inside of the building by lowering a ladder down some hole that was in the roof. I am guessing she was the one to free Ardeth from the cell. Ardeth then came down the ladder and killed three of us, and the woman shot one of us that threw a knife at her. They both wore scarfs over their faces to cover their markings." Explained the man.

"Jonathan, who else came along with you, other then that child? You couldn't have come here alone. You wouldn't have just come here with a child. I don't think that's what his parents, if they are good parents, would want, is it?" Questioned Io'Seer, glaring at Jonathan.

"I told you, Rick and Evy stayed at my house because Evy's pregnant." Lied Jonathan.

"Then why is their son here?" Asked Io'Seer with curiousity.

"Because they wanted a small break of him." Replied Jonathan.

"So, if I go back to your house, Your sister and her husband will be there?" Asked Io'Seer, getting on Jonathan's nerves.

"They should, unless they left to go in a safer place." Lied Jonathan in reply.

--

"Rick, wake up!" Shouted Evy, shaking Rick so he would wake up.

"Evy, what is it? Did you find a way out?" Asked Rick.

"No, Rick, even better! I found the room for the three stones!" Exclaimed Evy wih joy.

"You, you mean, you actually found it?" Asked Rick, not beliving the news he just received.

"YES! I found it! I was just moving a few things around, and I found what looked like some sort of button. I pressed it, and some door opened." Explained Evy.

"Where is it?" Asked Rick.

"I'll show you, get up!" Said Evy, giving Rick a hand to help him up.

--

When Ardeth and Nemalie entered the room, the first thing they saw was Alex tied up to a chair. Ardeth ran up to Alex, and quickly took out his knife and cut off the rope. As Ardeth did that, Nemalie took a quick tour around the room.

"Alex, what are you doing here? Where are Rick and Evy? Your parents? Jonathan?" Asked Ardeth with great curiousity.

"They said something about taking Jonathan to the pyramid. Where my parents are, I have no idea." Replied Alex, giving a few quick glances towards Nemalie. Ardeth finished cutting up the rope, and Alex got up from where he sat right away.

"Ardeth, I found them. The stones are right here." Said Nemalie, rather slowly. Ardeth turned too look towards Nemalie, seeing she had a blanket in her hand, and the two other stones where on the floor, against the wall.

"Excuse me, but who may you be?" Asked Alex, looking at Nemalie's direction.

"I am Nemalie Des. Like Ardeth, I am a Medjai." Replied Nemalie.

"Take those stones. We will have to hide them." Said Ardeth, grabbing one of the stones from where they were, and Nemalie grabbed the other. They ran out of the room, Alex following them.

"I just thought I'd let you know, 'Laura' is well hidden," Said Alex. Ardeth and Nemalie both stopped for a momment, and Ardeth nodded and reply, and then they headed out of the building.

--

"Jonathan!" Shouted Ardeth, entering the Pyramid. He saw a figure sitting on the ground, near the enterance, and figured it must have been Jonathan.

"What?" Said the figure. Ardeth knew for a fact it was Jonathan, because he reconized his voice right away. He walked closer towards Jonathan and noticed his hands were tied behind his back, and his feet were tied together. Ardeth sighed and took his knife out to cut Jonathna loose.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Ardeth, finishing cutting Jonathan loose.

"We came to get you. We woke up to a mess, and you missing." Replied Jonathan, quietly.

"By the way, Ardeth, Rick and Evy kinda got stuck somewhere in this pyramid..." said Jonathan not long after. Ardeth sighed.

"Where are they?" Asked Ardeth.

"I picked up this vase somewhere and a wall fell down. It was rather cool, but Evy and Rick got stuck on the other side of the wall." Replied Jonathan. Ardeth had an idea where it was since he had a tour of the pyramid before, so he nodded.

"Where is Io'Seer? Have you any idea?" Asked Ardeth, giving A hand to Jonathan to help him up. They started walking deeper inside the pyramid.

"He went back to my house, because I told him Evy and Rick should still be there, and I also told him Evy was pregnant." answered Jonathan to Ardeth's question.

"Jonathan,when he finds out you lied-" began Ardeth, but he stopped while hearing guns going off.

"What was that?" Asked Jonathan. Ardeth didn't answer. He just shook his head and got Jonathan to go deeper into the pyramid.

"What's going on?" Tried Jonathan again, not long after his first try.

"I will explain to you later. Just bring me to this 'wall' you speak of." Finaly answered Ardeth, walking in a hurry.

--

"Alex, do you think you can handle a gun?" Asked Nemalie, offering him a gun.

"Honestly, no." Replied Alex, a little scared at the thought of actually killing somebody.

"Then run. We need to distract as many people as possible." Nemalie gazed at the sky for a slight moment, then turned her head back towards Alex's direction.

"Go on. Go hide. Now." Ordered Nemalie in a non-threatning voice. Alex nodded and ran off back towards the building.

Smilling, Nemalie turned around and gazed at the pyramid until she knew for a fact Alex was well hidden. She held on a gun and a knife tighly, one in each hand, behind her back. She looked around her. There was alot of guards. Very many guards. She quickly walked towards the pyramid. When she felt she was close enough, she slowly took out a gun and began shoting everyone else. After killing 15 men, quite a few had their weapons ready, and began going after her. She ran away, catching everyone's attention. She made a turn to go on the other side of the pyramid. When the other people got there, they didn't see her. They didn't see her at all. Why? Simply because she was very well hidden. She was good at hiding.

--

Jonathan was nervous. What was going on? What were those gunshots? He already knew why they wanted 'Laura', but he knew he didn't know the full story. He knew that Ardeth left out alot of details.

Soon, Ardeth just stopped walking. He slowly sat on the ground, and then signaled for Jonathan to sit down infront of them.

"Those gunshots, Jonathan, was just Nemalie distracting people so there would be less chances of us being caught, since their probobly looking for her right now outside of the pyramid." Explained Ardeth, leaving out details, simply so he would have a slim chance of explaining less.

"Who is Nemalie?" Asked Jonathan right after Ardeth finished talking.

"She is a medjai warrior who has come here to help," explained Ardeth. After he finished talking, there was a long silence which lasted atleasta good 5 minutes. Ardeth soon broke the silence with a question he's wanted to know the answer to for a long time.

"Why have you named it 'Laura'?" asked Ardeth, with a half smirk, half grin. Jonathan stopped moving, simply because the question made him nervous. He soon beggan answering.

"Well, a few months after I returned home with Evelyn, Rick, and Alex, I went to a poker game. I ended up betting Laura, and I lost the bet. Soon after, I left the room and returned with a gun. I threatned the person to give Laura back, and he obeyed. Later that night, as I was walking home, I had Laura safely in a bag, and my gun in my jacket pocket. A theif stole the bag, which 'Laura' was inside of,and shot a woman near by. After he shot her, I shot him and took my bag again. I then walked towards the woman, and grabbed her purse to try to figure out who she was. I soon discovered her name was Laura, and I decided to call my Laura that name, since the theif took that woman's life away to try to steal the stone." Explained Jonathan, barely leaving out any details. He made sure to include all the important information in his story. Ardeth smilled a small smile. It was kind of sweet, if you think of it.

They both broke into pure silence, and soon began hearing something... footsteps... They were coming closer, and closer. They footsteps were headed towards them. Jonathan got up from where he sat, and leaned against the wall. Ardeth grabbed a loaded gun and gave it to Jonathan.

"What's, or who'sthat?" asked Jonathan. Jonathan was probobly the person that knew the less of what was going on, and he was probobly the one who'd need to know the most what was going on. Ardeth didn't reply. He didn't have a answer to Jonathan's question.

Soon, the footsteps stoped, and someone stood near them. This new person didn't wear any uniform; he wore dark clothing. Black closing. The material of his closing were very thick. His shirt had very long sleeves, so long you could only see the tips of three of his fingers on each hand. Attached to his shirt was a hood. It covered most of his head. His pants seem quite baggy, and he wore fancy, black shoes.

Jonathan lifted his gun and pointed it towards this new man.

"I do not think that would be wise, Jonathan," said the man, slowly taking off his hood. He had bright green eyes, and had very long dark brown hair. Both Jonathan and Ardeth were shocked when they noticed something. This man was a medjai. He had the Medjai markings all over his face.

"Amal, why have you come here?" asked Ardeth. He knew this man, he knew him very well. Amal was a man from Ardeth's tribe.

"I have come here with Nemalie. Jonathan, I need to speak with you," answered Amal.

"Wait, Amal. We have found the Stone of life and the stone of death. The Power, or as we call it, Laura, is safe somewhere's else. I am not sure where, though," said Ardeth, taking out both the stone of life and death from inside a bag he carried.

"Laura is safe. We have hidden it in our car, very well too. Alex should be guarding it," said Jonathan. Ardeth sighed.

"Alex is not guarding Laura, he should be with Nemalie." said Ardeth. Both Jonathan and Ardeth looked towards Amal.

"How do you know Nemalie?" asked Ardeth. Amal didn't answer, instead he changed the subjet.

"Jonathan, once again, I need to speak to you," said Amal, changing the subject.

Note : Ohhhh... What does Amal want? Where is Nemalie? How do Nemalie and Amal know each-other? Will they ever get to Rick and Evy? Find out in my next chapter, which hopefully wont take me an other century to write. xD

Once again - I'M REALLY SORRY ABOUT THE LONG WAIT! School has been keeping me busy. :(

Also - There is probobly a billion typos, but that's because I don't fell like re-reading these 2000 words 80 times in a row finding them. xD
